April 06, 2010): I'm officially accepted into the Game Art & Design program at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. :DDD So I've got until October to finish all the stories down there. After that I must dedicate my available time to studying, drawing. What I will update regularly after my college arrival is my art blog. You can find it at the bottom of the page. I have an account at DeviantART, but I don't know if I'll be staying there. So look forward to an increase in the updates of my fanfics. :D

Disclaimer

In any case I forget to put the disclaimer in my chapters, here it is now: I do NOT own Oddworld, nor am I affiliated with them in any way. I just borrow their characters for use in various situations. I'm not making money off any of these stories. All the characters in that universe belong to Oddworld Inhabitants.

The same applies to any other fandom I write from. I don't own them. If I did, I'd probably put it to shame. :D

Guidelines

I do not write slash/sex scenes/etc. Any of these topics, while they might be present, will only be implied. I try to make sure my stories are generally safe for most audiences to read. If you have played the games, you can probably read my stories. Same-sex pairings will be present in one story of mine, but such a thing will be fairly obvious from the beginning.

I am generally quick about uploading. This may change in the future, but I like to dedicate as much free time as I have available to writing. Again, if I ever gain popularity, this might change a little. Sometimes I take on huge projects and it slows drastically.

Critique! I love receiving advice on my stories, and I know my stories aren't all that great. If you have a suggestion for me to attempt in future stories, feel free to do so..

Talk to me! I don't care if you have nothing nice to say - just tell me you read it. I love to recieve feedback and if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I will answer them as best as I can! Got any writing challenges you'd like to reccommend? Tell me.

The Battle for Mudos
Ten years have passed since Vula went to search for a new queen; since a female Gabbit was found in Ma'Spa; since a strange creature was dumped into the hands of a pair of Vykkers; since a Glukkon sought out his own past to change his future. Ten long years of a constantly brewing and building storm. Both sides prepare for a terrible and unavoidable war, one that will decide the fate of all Mudos. Yet the lines of good and evil are not necessarily clear; because in the end, "we must all look within if we want to be free." Angel

Various theme-type songs I've discovered along the way. The songs are here - that I can think of. One of them is not labeled specifically because it would spoil Battle For Mudos IF I gave the reason behind that particular song.

Evergreen - Axelle Renoir - This song holds what could be considered the entire theme behind Battle for Mudos. Watch the video - it's excellent.
Remember Me This Way - Jordan Hill - This song is actually from the movie Casper. I am not going to tell you the meaning - you'll figure it out as the story progresses.

More on the way. :3
