Author has written 22 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. I'm also actively seeking employment again (thanks to the economy tanking under the socialist morons - pick a party; they both suck, even if one of them is blatantly more leftist than the other - so many of you elected in '06 and '08) so my spare time is generally sunk into writing.

And seriously, if you want to gripe about something in my fraking profile that you don't agree with, send a PM. DON'T spam one of my fics with reviews that have absolutely nothing to do with the damned story. Not only is it rude, it makes you look like an immature troll actively trying to start a fight that you wouldn't dare to start in real life because it might get you punched in the face for being a jackass. Anonymous reviews like that are simply deleted, and logged in Users who spam up the reviews just go in the Blocked Users.

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.

I'm also apparently the only Tony/Ziva fan who thought "Jet Lag" kind of sucked. That tracks, though, because I've found all of season 7 to be dull, predictable, and vastly overrated. Better than the shite that was season 6, but still nowhere near as good as season 3 or even season 4.


STATUS: I am currently not writing much of anything at the moment. The 'aggressive mediocrity' (my words) of NCIS season 7 has frankly driven that Muse away with pitchforks and torches, so unfortunately, Transitional States is very much in Hiatus. Star Wars bores me (thanks, George and Del Rey! Together, you ruined the one constant in my life since 1977.) And I just can't get the Muse to cooperate with ENT at the moment.


My dislikes in most fandoms:
1) Wildly OOCness that doesn't have any basis in actual canon (which nicely encompasses the next couple of dislikes)
2) slash regardless of gender - as a straight guy, homosexual relationships don't interest me in the slightest and I frankly don't understand the appeal when it is between two characters clearly shown to be heterosexual in canon (makes the entire story OOC) ... and don't get me started on the utterly insane male pregnancy tripe
3) crack!pairings that have absolutely no basis in canon apart from the author not liking the canon OTP, especially when the two characters never met on the canon show (I've seen a bunch of Kate Todd/Ziva David fics of late which fall into this category and the previous one as well. At least with the misogynistic Archer/T'Pol pairing there's a basis in canon.) Newsflash to you Gibbs/Ziva fans: it's canon that she sees him as a surrogate father and he perceives her as a replacement daughter.
4) songfics, because if I want to read song lyrics, I'll look for them
5) very bad grammar (it's one thing if English isn't one's native language, but when someone uses "u" in place of "you" or seems uninterested in doing a simple spell check, I lose interest, no matter if the plot is the best thing since sliced bread)
6) fics set in 'high school' when the canon characters themselves are older than 20; spanking or discipline fics;
7) the usual fanfiction baby cliches
8) lack of research on the part of the author (treating the Marine rank Gunnery Sergeant as if it were a job or position, for example, or the fact that a Vulcan (copper-based blood) somehow gets pregnant by or impregnates a Human (iron-based blood) without extensive medical assistance.

Thus, I'm very picky about what I read and enjoy. I apologize in advance if that makes me seem like an elitist...


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:
