Author has written 55 stories for Makai Kingdom, Suikoden, Clare B. Dunkle, Wild Arms, La Pucelle, GrimGrimoire, Soul Nomad & the World Eaters, Harry Potter, Final Fantasy I-VI, Persona Series, Growlanser, Yggdra Union, and Tales of the Abyss.

I am: Rayless Night. Rayless or Raye or Rachel work too.

What I do: Generally, I write and draw. With the exception of Kindred, all the fanwriting I have online is posted here, and you can check out both fan art and original art at my homepage.

As for my fanfiction: My stories are usually character-driven with lots of dialogue. I like romance, but I don't have much patience with fluff. Anything with an M rating got that way because of violent content, and even when the stories get grim, I usually can't resist throwing in some humor somewhere. I never warn for character death.

About that review I left you: I almost always leave crit in my feedback. If I really like your work, I'll probably gush to an embarrassing degree. If you want clarification on any of my reviews, just ask.

Reviewing me: Go for it. Feel free to crit. Honesty is the most useful thing you can give me.

Have a bonus fanfic: Kindred is a Harry Potter fanfic I posted here from 2007-2009. But since it doesn't fit with the site's guidelines, I removed it, and have reposted it to deviantART. During the time it was up, it was far and away my most popular story, and though it shows its age in places, I'm still pretty pleased with it.

Kindred

Rating: T by FFN standards, M by deviantART's standards. Rating is for strong violence, non-explicit adult themes and language. M-rated content can only be viewed by other members of deviantART, so you might have to join the site in order to read the entire story.

What makes us human? What do we owe to the ones we love? How can you trust yourself to find the answers? Important questions that circumstances inevitably force Fleur Delacour to answer.

Chapter One

News

1/28/12 - I'm all out of Internet-worthy (high standard, right?) stories at the moment, so this is my cue to sink crocodile-like beneath the surface and just review for awhile. Because that's what crocodiles do. Lie in wait for unsuspecting prey, and while they're doing that, read fanfic and review a bit.
