Author has written 25 stories for StarTrek: Enterprise, Star Wars, and NCIS.

I'm a persistently single, disgruntled writer and gamer (video games and RPGs), ex-infantryman who occasionally wonders why I left Uncle Sam before remembering that I fraking hate mornings. And yeah, I'm one of those rarities: a male who writes fanfiction.

My NCIS fic "Too Late" was awarded Best AU/Other in the 2009 LJ Fanfiction Awards, so I guess I'm an "award-winning" fanfiction author now. Major thank yous to everyone who voted for me.


STATUS: I am currently dipping my toes back into the Star Trek: Enterprise universe since NCIS left me behind and Star Wars ... well ...

UPDATE: Some of you may notice that I have listed Transitional States as Abandoned. Yes, this is true. As I officially gave up on NCIS midway through season 8 (which thoroughly killed my interest in the show - I actively dislike Tony these days and Ziva is a pale shadow of her former character), I no longer have the interest in finishing this. Trust me: if I did, it would likely end up with Tony being killed in a senseless, brutal, agonizing way and Ziva leaving to find her happily ever after somewhere far away. I'm seriously considering removing the two Part 3 scenes and simply marking it as complete.


Star Wars

Until relatively recently, I was seriously wallowing in my love for the Star Wars franchise, however, (though, admittedly, that love pretty much dies out in the aftermath of the Thrawn Trilogy, has long since been buried by the time of the NJO, and doesn't even touch the character assassinating LOTF series). I recently made the horrible, horrible mistake of reading the jacket blurb (or whatever it was) of Del Rey's latest "screw up the fraking galaxy" series, and it caused my disgust for the direction they've taken the GFFA to resurface.

Star Trek: Endeavour

ENT fans...this is an AinT free zone. I am very much not a fan of CPT Archer as seen on the actual show despite being a fan of Scott Bakula (I grew up on Quantum Leap, and his casting was the only reason I bothered giving ENT a try), but I really try to prevent my dislike for the character as portrayed on the show (particularly the Super!Archer bovine excrement) out of my fiction. I am very much a fan of both T'Pol and Trip Tucker; despite some of the more absurd elements that tPtB decided to tack onto their canonical relationship (like the stupid trell-D addiction, the Sidekick!Polly motif and the equally inane extended angst of season 4), I thought they could have made an exceptional couple if retarded monkeys hadn't been writing the scripts. As a result, my fics will reflect that.

The Endeavour series is an ongoing attempt by me to tell the Earth-Romulan War in a way that appeals to me as a heterosexual male so it will be light on romantic fluff and heavy on wartime action and drama (think of it as military sci-fi set in the Star Trek: Enterprise era); that isn't to say that I'll be excising the romantic elements, merely that I won't be emphasizing them over the fact that Earth is at war for its very survival. Fair warning: I've been called a bloodthirsty misanthrope and my stories reflect that. The Endeavour series takes place after the real finale of ENT, Terra Prime, and does not acknowledge that nonsensical "valentine" which was clearly propaganda spewed forth by supporters of ADM Pressman in an attempt portray CDR Riker as an idiot. This is not a comprehensive list of fics but more a reflection of intent. The series consists of:
