: About DAT :

The name is Jenn.
If you look up, you'll see that I joined ff.net in November of 2002. I was 10.
Ten years later, I'm no longer a child. I'm a college student studying criminal justice and criminology, with a minor in sociology.
I'm hoping to eventually go into criminological research and maybe teach at the college level one day.

The stories that I wrote previous to this last summer have been removed. It's quite possible that one day they'll make a return, revised and better than ever. If not, know that you weren't missing much.
When I began writing again, I opted to give myself a clean slate as I was starting new stories as an adult, instead of tacking onto stuff I wrote when I was a kid. I think it's working out so far.

Classes this semester: Research in the Social Sciences, Victimology, Intro to Literary Studies and Political Theory

If for some reason I have not posted a chapter in a bit, I don't mind getting messages asking what's up, but please do know that school comes first. I'm taking a full load of classes AND working two jobs (and trying to have some faint semblance of a social life), so please be patient with me. I know I have a tendency to go on long hiatuses, but I promise you, that's not the case at the moment. I am enjoying being back in writing- that includes not only doing chapters of my story, but talking to the amazing people reading that share their opinions with me, beta reading a story (Go read the GSTA saga by Noteleks) and just discussing writing in general with people who love it as much as I do. I'm not disappearing, trust me on this.

The City and the Ghost (Adventure/Drama) (PG-13 for language, dark tones and violence later on)
Delaney Caldwell is the darling of Sinnoh, celebrated trainer and daughter of one of the wealthiest men in the region. When she receives an oshawott and a cryptic message right before chaos erupts in her own backyard, she has no choice but to listen to the message's desperate pleas and flee to the unknown: Unova. Not only does she have to leave behind her home and her pokemon, she has to assume a new identity and do the whole traveling thing all over again. In a place where all she has is a couple of annoying neighbors that keep popping up, a mother who left her as a child and pokemon that aren't too fond of her, the journey is just beginning.

Completed Projects

Royal Unova (Angst) (PG-13 for language and dark tones) (COMPLETE!)
All it took was one night, looking out at the vast Unova sea, for Steven to realize that life was a joke and he was the punchline.

A Boy and His Psyduck (Humor) (PG-13 for language) (COMPLETE!)
The economy is tough, so the department store has temporarily stopped having rooftop sales. What is Todd to do? Wait for overzealous small-town girls to bombard him with battles, apparently.
