"Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth—more than ruin—more even than death… Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man." —Betrand Russell

UPDATES:

2/19/13: Holy shit. I promise I exist. No CD yet, because I think I'm really horridly stalled this time, but I've at least got something else teasing my brain that's worth posting.

PERSONAL INFO:

-I'm female and twenty-seven years old. I started writing fanfiction about fourteen years ago. I'm a married English major/gamer/poet/former roller derby player, who parents a herd of four highly adorable cats and one rather Machiavellian box turtle. I make custom character sheets and RPG charts for relaxation.

-I write (and read) het and slash both, though I'm usually in it for character development. I also adore femmeslash, but it's generally much harder to find it well-written. I don't ever write explicit stories, due to having no feel whatsoever for articulating sex scenes (they come out clinical and wooden, and are consequently very bad). I'm more of a UST/fade-to-black kind of girl.

-I cherish concrit. It is, in fact, immensely important for my writing process. Praise is nice, but please be harsh when it's warranted; I avow that while I'm not above making excuses and/or sadface, I always give weight to criticism and try to use it to improve, and I will never go into a rage-fit over it. When I ask for something, I actually do want it.

-It's a goal of mine to include all proper warnings so as to avoid triggering anyone—I am always grateful to be helped in this area.

1. The Better Part of Valor reviews
Someone has allowed giants into the very heart of Asgard, and Loki sees his chance to gain recognition by discovering how, but his plans turn awry almost from the first, and implicating himself is only one of many miscalculations. Old rivalries, fostered resentment, and an innate tendency towards cruelty will all contribute to his fall — and what a long fall it will be.

A random redo of The Night Before Christmas. Team Rocket attempt a hilarious burgulary of Ash's house, and they do it in rhyme! Rocketshippy; in Jesse's POV, and therefore not very kind to Ash.
