Author has written 31 stories for Slayers, Weiss Kreuz, Wedding Peach, and Bleach. I'm CD! I'm a Radiological Controls Technician in my early 30s who enjoys manga, anime, the internets, roleplaying, BJDs, and various combinations thereof! I've been on FF.net for about 10-11 years now, with fics from Slayers, Weiß Kreuz, and Wedding Peach (because god knows someone needed to write for that poor series). Speaking of that, FF.net messed up the formatting on all of my Weiß Kreuz fics. I've gone back now and cleaned stuff up, corrected spelling errors with the names, that sort of thing, so please give those fics a second glance now that I've fixed everything! I've also uploaded some Slayers fics that have never seen FF.net before - you may have read them on Violet & Gold or they may be entirely new to you. Either way, please enjoy them, even though they're several years old at this point! Currently writing Bleach fics (when I have time - so this is probably a LIE) and playing Inoue Orihime (and Beato from Umineko and Rider from Fate/Zero) at Asgard Eventide and Orihime and Rider at Fate/Conflation - Come check it out! And if you're into IchiHime, then why don't you come over to Five Lifetimes, One Love ?
