Hey, everybody who actually gives enough of a crap to read about me! I thank you, I suppose.

I started this profile to actually get something I've written somewhere for people to read. I put just a dab of me in everything I write, so congratz: you have access to a piece of my soul. I am what I write, you need no more information than that. I set some pretty hard standards on myself, and I'm stubborn about sticking to it. I try to never EVER throw a piece of crap out into your unsuspecting faces (as pertains to writing, of course. I'm pretty sure actually throwing literal crap at someone is against the law...not to mention gross) and whatever I do I try to do well.

I saw a quote the other day that practically defines who I am as a writer. It said, "Writing has laws of perspective, of light and shade, just as painting does, or music. If you are born knowing them, fine. If not, learn them. Then rearrange the rules to suit yourself."

It's my job as a writer to let you imagine something previously unimaginable. Even with writing Fanfiction, I think it's plenty doable. I try to write topics never touched and try do it in an unforgettable way. If you ever walk away from one of my stories feeling like you've actually learned something, I've done my job.

So what's my payment? Quite simply, you. I want to know if I've changed how you look at anything. Perspective is something I always strive for. People lack perspective these days.

In a nutshell? I'm just a daydreamer spilling my words onto your computer. I hope something good was painted out of it.

Current Status:

Betaing for crossover The Wasteland of Rapture by Umbra-Luna and Yu-Gi-Oh! fic Formspring, Fangirls, and Creampuffs by ApparitionsOfMelody :P

Taking story requests.

My Stories:

The Death Of A Con Man(BioShock) This was my first, and favorite, fanfic. It is told in diary form by Patrick James, a detective of Rapture's Security Force. It was inspired by the audio diary "Timmy H. Interrogation" from the first game. Patrick was my favorite character to write for and I'd gladly do it again! If you liked it and wish to see more from him, I have been writing a sequel but am not going to publish unless I get some real desire from someone for me to. Go ahead and message me if you feel like it. If not, it really doesn't matter in the long run.

Then Fall, Cassius(The Tragedy of Julius Caesar): Who doesn't love Shakespeare, I ask you? Well, I do, and I published my own little fic about it. It's short, but, unlike ninety percent of the stories on that archive, it is not a recycled high school English paper. I wrote this because I love this play, and because I think poor Cassius deserves a little more props than he's got.

The Fontaine Family(BioShock): This was inspired from playing BioShock 2 and finding the portrait of "The Fontaine Family" in Fontaine's office. I saw the picture and thought that the kid (who I assumed was a younger Frank Fontaine) did not look as evil as he was in the first game. In fact, he looked like a really small, timid kid. So, naturally, I thought up something that could have changed this once innocent boy into something as evil as Fontaine. The result is my story, centered around that portrait and eight year old "Frankie" Fontaine. It's sad story, but I really liked how it came out.

BioShock: The Story by Guardian Shotgun(BioShock): A chapter written by me has been posted on Guardian Shotgun's story. His novelization is so far pretty amazing and you should totally check it out. I wrote a quick chap to help him out about the history of Rapture, which after all the research I've done for Death Of A Con Man, I feel like an expert on the subject. Check it out if only to read Guardian Shotgun, who is a great new writer.

The Cracked Link(BioShock 2): So we hear faint echoes of who Subject Delta had once been in the game, but never anything beyond that. Well, I figured it was time someone was to tell Johnny Topside's story. I will take a few, very slight liberties on the storyline--only because, in my opinion, the developers of the sequel did a crappy job of connecting the worlds of BioShock 1 and BioShock 2. There are a few contradictions I have noticed, or gaps that just don't fit. So there will be a couple minor details I will smudge. I usually hate it when people do that, but in this case it just does not make sense to tell unless I take those liberties.

The Lone Wanderer's Replacement(Fallout 3): Just kind of wrote this with no real plan. Depending on reaction of it, I'll keep it up. Basically: It's finally a Charon story that does not involve romance between him and the Lone Wanderer (although I did use a LWF). I looked for Charon stories on the archive, and, save for two I think, they were all sappy romance. No. Charon's way too cool for that. As far as the plot, the summary says it all. UPDATE: Like I said, this fic was created and continued by reaction. I am certainly not going to waste my time on a fic nobody wants. However, I refuse to leave a story unfinished. Perhaps this one shall share the same fate as Black, Blue, and Gold. No decisions yet, though. We'll see.

Broken Spirit(Yu-Gi-Oh!): Okay, let me say a few things about my first Yu-Gi-Oh! fic: First, I own neither Yu-Gi-Oh! nor any such Bakuras. Second, I have never seen more than a few of the Japanese episodes of this anime, and little more of the English dub (4Kids! lameness and all). I was just watching the Battle City Finals and was immediately fascinated by Bakura's character(s?). I tried to research him the best I could so as not to screw up the canon, but if I do anyway I apologize now. Third, this is not a ship, slash, or romance of any kind. I'm not really into those. This is actually an AU of sorts, if you can stomach those. I actually really like how it came out, and may even write more like it in the future. UPDATE: Part of me wants to delete this fic now, not because it has no reviews, but just because I'm not really a huge fan of it after looking back. The only reason I'm not is because of my favoriters. Doesn't quite seem fair to just pull the rug out from under them. I don't know. Let's just label this one as a love/hate relationship I have with it.

Black, Blue and Gold by RyoFiend(Yu-Gi-Oh! and BioShock): This was one of my more spontaneous fics that I wound up deleting. I had been mulling over the idea for a while. What would happen if Yami Bakura discovered ADAM and decided he would take over a Little Sister's body? I wrote it and posted it, but decided it just didn't feel right. It was kind of a flop and I was all right with it. It was fun to write, anyway. Soon after it was deleted, I was PM'd by another user. After a few back and forth messages, it was decided that he could take the idea for himself. I wish him the best of luck with it. Feel free to check it out for yourself.

Abduction of DOOM!(Invader Zim): I really should stop writing things on a whim. My first attempt of humor. I hope it doesn't all blow up in my face. The idea was given to me by a fellow fan. After the episode Abducted, what happened to Dib? And will Zim even notice? Of course he will. Gir is by far one of my favorite characters of all time, but I've never tried a humor piece before. What I tried really hard to do was write something funny but well-written. I love humor fics, but they are mostly insanity wrapped in a bow. That's what makes them funny. My experiment is, can I make something funny but not insane? The result is this story. I hope you enjoy.

Traps(Yu-Gi-Oh!): If anyone has read The Last Echo, I consider this a sort of prologue. It wasn't made exclusively for that story, but it was what I created from in my mind. I am hard at work on that story, but a little bit of a break never hurt anyone. I'm slightly nervous about this one, I'm not quite sure how it turned out. The idea came to me from out of nowhere. We've all explored Yami Bakura and Ryo Bakura's soul room with our imagination, but what about before Ryo had even taken possession of the Millennium Ring? This was somewhat of an exploration with that. I really hope this came out all right.

Last Echo(Yu-Gi-Oh!): This fic has taken so many turns in my mind that it's like an insane highway. The idea popped into my head to write a post-Yami Bakura fic when I was finally watching the final episodes of Yu-Gi-Oh and reading the manga. I noticed that, after being freed from an evil, sadistic, megalomaniac spirit, all Bakura could say was: "I need some food!" It seemed strange to me, and I thought that I could make a quick little humor fic about it, but then I started writing a reflective drama. By the end, I came up with what you have before you and just wrote it down. It is unplanned and completely on a whim, but I'm glad the idea came to me at all. It fits my quota perfectly: always write what no one has ever touched on. Oh, right, what the fic is about. I really don't want to give anything away, so read and see for yourself. This story on a whole has absolutely no plans, but apparently that's how it best goes.

Latest Update:

10/26/10

Woah woah woah wait wait wait wait. An UPDATE!?

Last Echo has been updated, and I have, indeed, started work on the next chapter for the Cracked Link and Abduction of DOOM! My PS3 is still out of commision, but through a miracle, I have been able to play Fallout: New Vegas. It... sort of re-inspires The Lone Wanderer's Replacement. Still, though, you all know the rules... No reviews, no continuation.

Hopefully I can get back into gear in all of my stories and get them all done eventually. Thanks to all of my reviewers, my work would not be alive without you.

Ranting time: Shippings can be ridiculous. Have you ever thought of that? Forget yaoi. Forget yuri. Forget straight. Forget crack, het, or even bestiality. Shippings almost always have a tendency to be shallow, dull, and stupid, no matter what is done. And would you like to know why? Because half of the time it has nothing to do with canon or even plausible. They just look "cute" or "hot" together. The ugly characters are never paired with anyone. Take Zorc from Yu-Gi-Oh. Any creative yaoi fanfic writer could see that Yami Bakura and Zorc could be a plausible couple. At least as much as tendershipping is plausible. But would you like to know how many Zorc romances I found? One. One. Want to know why? Because Zorc is an ugly, blue dragon. Of course no one would want to read a fluffy story about a blue dragon. *Sigh* Shippings: Sometimes extremely well done, but mostly as deep as a puddle and exciting as watching paint dry.

Final Random Spout...

TheBlast.fm is an awesome internet radio station and is totally worth checking out! All of my stuff has been written while listening to that.

Oh, and Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series and It'sJustSomeRandomGuy are the most hilarious parodies I have ever seen! Super Special Awesome!

And, finally, yes, I am part of the remaining 4% of the population still headbanging...
