About The Author:
I've been writing anime, video game, and cartoon fanfics since about 1996 and in High School. I started with Sailor Moon and Tenchi Muyou fanfics, which were much more popular back in the day, but eventually branched out into other series, including Bubblegum Crisis, Martian Successor Nadesico, and Slayers. I started writing and illustrating my own fantasy webcomic called 'Never-Forever' from 2001-2004, and finally returned to fanfiction writing in 2005 with my first Kim Possible fanfic. Today I spend most of my time continuing my ongoing Kim Possible fanfics while doing some original writing on the side for various project.
My background is in computers (I have a computer science degree, although I've never held a job as a programmer) and while I'm not exceptionally well read I am making an effort these days to fill in the gaps in my literary experience. I do enjoy research however, so while I may not have ever read a Mark Twain book to its completion, I'm aware of what they're about and the popular dissections of their themes and motifs.
My favorite genre to write and read is the 'fantasy-grounded-in-reality' style of story, which is pretty evident in my stories. I like to see 'normal' characters get suddenly blindsided by the fantastic and try to rationalize what's happening. I also like to see the challenges and road-blocks faced trying to bring romance to fruition, and, as such, I like to see a strong romance sub-plot as part of most stories I read and write. Especially an 'against-all-odds' sort of romance, which is probably why I'm a such a fan of KiGo.
Recommended Reading Order:
There are three main universes I'm currently writing in. The following is the chronological read order for each of those universes, which is the best way of understanding what's going on in my stories:
A PERIOD OF SILENCE - (Kim Possible; KIGO)
Fling - A short ficlet about a one-night stand that turns into something more. Starts when Kim is in college and tries to treat the Kigo somewhat realistically.
A Period of Silence - 4 separate story arcs tell the story of Kim and Shego growing into their new relationship and trying to figure out if they fit together and how. A significant subplot of these stories is how Kim and Shego deal with life after 'retiring' from the hero and villain business.
DISAPPEARING DOCTOR UNIVERSE - (Kim Possible; multiple couples)
The Family Value - Shego in her Team Go days. Approximately 2 years before the 1st episode of the TV series.
Disappearing Doctor - Drakken goes missing and Kim and Shego must team up to find him. Starts in September following So The Drama, but ignores Season 4.
POSSIBILITY ENGINE - An alternate universe's Kim and Shego get lost traveling between dimensions and try to get home. Starts a few episodes into Season 4.
Contagion - Kim and Shego land in a universe that is completely backwards. Takes place during the above story, 'POSSIBILITY ENGINE.'
Apocolocyntosis - Team Possible rebuilds after Disappearing Doctor. Starts 6 months after DD, approximately 9 months after end of So The Drama, and continues to ignore Season 4.
MISCELLANEOUS WORLDS
Sometimes There Isn't A Point - (Kim Possible; Kim/Ron) Features many highlights from across Kim's life from the day she graduates college until they day she retires from Global Justice. This story skips huge amounts of time between chapters and is essentially an experiment of mine in loosely plotted storytelling. Didn't exactly work, but still an interesting read.
His Blood Still Cries - (Bubblegum Crisis; Mackie/Nene, Priss/Leon) The only "pure" BGC fic I wrote back in the day. It's one of (in my opinion) the best things I wrote in my first fanfic writing era. Was intended to setup a series, but I could never get the feel for the sequel. It stands alone pretty well, though.
Twist of Fate - (Sailor Moon) An ambitious (and failed) attempt to rewrite parts of the 1st season of Sailor Moon as if Jadeite never died. Had a subplot involving Richard Vedas (from 'The Heroes We Love' an earlier Sailor Moon fic I wrote in 1997) and Aurora Sayre (protagonist of 'The Blends'), two original characters who would eventually find their way into my Kim Possible fics.

5-28-2008: POSSIBILITY ENGINE BOOK I is complete! The story is not yet over, of course, but we'll be taking a brief break before getting started on Book II. In the mean time, I'll be working on Apocolocyntosis Chapter 4 and -- hopefully -- an interlude for Possibility Engine called "Ron and Drakken Save The World!" Oh, in some slightly personal news, I quit my job recently and am now employed at a new company with more... comfortable hours. Let's see if this makes the chapters flow any quicker.
5-1-2008: Tidied up this 'Profile' section a bit, simplifying things a bit. After several months of intense work at my job, I'm back to a more normal schedule again, so I should have more time to write. In fact, I just wrote another scene in Possibility Engine 5 last night.
