Author has written 40 stories for Animorphs, Yu-Gi-Oh, Ranma, Bible, Monster Rancher series/モンスターファーム, Anime X-overs, Final Fantasy I-VI, Final Fantasy: Tactics, Breath of Fire, Forgotten Realms, Naruto, World of Darkness, Batman, Flash, and Justice League.

I'm also knocking about Deviantart, I have a LiveJournal, and there's some older stuff (including my scriptfic) on Mediaminer.

EXTENDED SUMMARIES AND OFFSITE WORK

(Forgotten Realms) - Traditional Gender Roles. What does it take to be an exception in the clergy of a drow god?
"The Spider Queen's Second Chance." A priest of Lolth falls between the cracks when the rules are changed. (Complete)
"The Masked Lord's Embrace." A Masked Traitor of Vhaeraun takes advantage of Lolth's silence and gets more than she bargained for. (Complete)
"The Waiting Spider's Sword Arm." A priestess of Selvetarm finds her value increased exponentially once Lolth abandons her faction in a city on the verge of open conflict. (Complete)
"The Dark Maiden's Message." A novice priest of Eilistraee takes on his first mission. (Complete)

(Forgotten Realms) - "Officer Helm." Utter crack-filk of West Side Story's "Officer Krupke," in which Cyric, Iyachtu Xvim, Selvetarm, and Vhaeraun air their Issues along with a bonus gratuitous Sixth Sense reference. Not on this site on account of being both script-format and songfic, but if that sort of thing floats your boat... go on and click that link. (Complete)

(Forgotten Realms) - "Remembered Realms: Graverending." Midwinter ficlet with a young Kiira on a zombie kick and a young Veldrin along for the ride. (Complete)

(Forgotten Realms) - A Spider in Arvandor. Follow-up on the events of "For a Change." It's not always as simple as a splash of magical water. After a desperate gambit works rather too well, Selvetarm finds himself somewhere back of square one. Eilistraee hopes that she can finish what she once started, while Vhaeraun looks for an angle. Shevarash is vexed. Corellon is uncertain. And who knows just what Lolth is up to? Meanwhile, their followers deal with the fallout. Seriously AU with Sacrifice of the Widow. (Discontinued)

(Forgotten Realms) - Cynosure Confidential. A collection of short fics and drabbles wherein various gods of Toril deal with their worshippers, each other, and themselves. Ranges from the dark to the ridiculous.
Title and main character listings for some stories are truncated; here are more complete versions, plus pairings where applicable.
1: "Technicality." (Shevarash, Mielikki, Drizzt in a sense)
2: "The King is Dead, Long Live the King." (Vhaeraun)
3: "With Nimble Feet to Dance Upon the Air." (Lliira/Chlanna)
4: "Mirror Images." (Vhaeraun, Leira)
5: "Five Ways Cyric Never Found Out." (Onesided Cyric/Midnight)
6: "Grandmaster of the Sava Board." (Onesided kinda-sorta Selvetarm/Red Knight)
7: "Falling Star." (Shevarash, Erevan Ilesere)
8: "Net Gains." (Gruumsh, Luthic)
9: "Misfortune Comes in Quartets." (The rogue gods)
10: "Ingratitude." (Lolth, Selvetarm)
11: "Condolences." (Lathander, Eilistraee)
12: "Get Over It." (Onesided Cyric/Midnight)
13: "Courtship." (Shar/Jergal, Shar/Targus)
14: "Dates from the Nine Hells." (Bane, Eldath, Mask, Waukeen)
15: "Date from the Demonweb." (Onesided kinda-sorta Vhaeraun/Zinzerena, Mask/Sharess)

(Forgotten Realms) - Cynosure Confidential: Top Secret. As above, but M-rated fics only.
1: "Triad." (Hoar/Sharess/Shevarash)
2: "As Equals." (Mask/Vhaeraun)
3: "Seeing Through Spider Kisses." (Kinda-sorta Shevarash/Selvetarm)

IN THE WORKS

(Forgotten Realms) - Remembered Realms. Magic returns in a Toril of the far future, and reincarnated gods start to regain their old selves. These old selves are not always welcomed, especially when they start to clash. The author plays around with Clever Naming Schemes and takes on Deep Moral Conundrums. (On hiatus)

(OWOD (Werewolf: the Apocalypse)) - The Wolves Eat Well This Year. The year is 1940, and the death toll of the Winter War between Finland and the Soviet Union continues to mount. In the midst of this, a lost cub in the Red Army undergoes his First Change and finds himself at the mercy of Finnish Garou, contending with a destiny he doesn’t want. (On hiatus)

(DCU (Batman/The Flash)) - Where Does He Get All Those Wonderful Toys? AKA Batfamily!Trickster. AU in which, thanks to a different hiring decision by Haley's Circus, Bruce Wayne adopts a young James Jesse instead of Dick Grayson.
-"Where Does He Get All Those Wonderful Toys?": Establishing story.
-"Not the Fall That Kills You": The Killing Joke goes off the rails, but the Joker doesn't give up that easily. James Jesse lacks Barbara Gordon's rigorous moral principles.
-"First We Take Manhattan": The Trickster establishes himself as an independent operator in New York, networks, and runs into an old crush. (In slow progress)

(DCAU, with generous helpings of Flash comics canon) - The Celebrated and the Rehabilitated. Post-"A Better World." When the heroes act like villains, can the villains be heroes? The Justice Lords have vanished, but the regime they've set in place hasn't. Lisa Snart, Axel Walker, Owen Mercer, Alvin Desmond and Evan McCulloch are part of a new generation of Central City Rogues doing their best to save the world and save their loved ones. (In progress)

UNDER SEMI-SERIOUS CONSIDERATION

(OWOD (Werewolf: the Apocalypse/Changeling: the Dreaming)) - Preludes and Nocturnes. In which five young werewolves have their eyes opened to even more worlds than per usual.

(OWOD (Werewolf: the Apocalypse)) - Moorchildren. One of the stranger attempts by the Black Spiral Dancers to squelch White Howler throwbacks has unexpected results.

(OWOD (Werewolf: the Apocalypse/Vampire: the Masquerade/Changeling: the Dreaming)) - "Prodigal Sons." A ghoul on drums, his domitor on keyboard, and the changelings who muse them have their routine disrupted when the drummer's lycanthropy catches up with him.

(OWOD (Werewolf the Apocalypse/Mage: the Ascension)/Team Fortress 2) - I Blew Up The Moon. Dell Conagher, Glass Walker Theurge and troubleshooter of practical problems, assembles a pack of monkeywrenchers to guinea-pig for his unorthodox inventions and take on his local Pentex subsidiary. Now if he can just get them to stop drinking Wyrm-tainted soda, drinking to excess in general, burning down the house, sapping the caern, attempting the murder of his mage ally and fellow man of Science...

(OWOD (Werewolf: the Apocalypse/Hunter: the Reckoning)) - "Some Of My Best Tribemates Are Jewish." A sept of Get of Fenris contends with a group of humans who believe, not unjustifiably, that they are genocidal maniacs.

(OWOD (Werewolf: the Apocalypse/Vampire: the Masquerade (Hunters Hunted)/Mage: the Ascension)) - Daniel Whines-At-Moon, perpetual omega, arrives at a house in Greenwich Village and discovers there is life after being sacrificed for the good of the caern.

(OWOD (Werewolf: the Apocalypse)) - "Honorably Mated." Garou natalism leads to an awkward meeting between a gay Ragabash and a lesbian Kinfolk.

(OWOD (Werewolf: the Apocalypse/Vampire: the Masquerade (Bloodlines))) - "Two Ships Crashing in the Night." "You never told me you were a leech!" "You never told me you were a lupine!" A lonely Get of Fenris and a traumatized Toreador meet and make out in a bar, then decide to take things further, scrupulously holding down the Veil and holding up the Masquerade all the while. Can this possibly end well? Sequel to "A Romantic History" (possibly sequel to "Honorably Mated").

(DCAU (Batman: the Animated Series/Justice League Unlimited)) - Daring Young Men On The Flying Trapeze. Armed with a certificate of sanity and a bindle stick, the aerialist formerly known as the Trickster goes to Gotham. Dick Grayson investigates. The Joker is out to defend his copyright, Lock-Up is out to recapture the criminals he doesn’t believe have reformed (the fact that three of them got him fired has nothing to do with it), and the Rogues of Central City have long memories.

(DCU (The Flash)) - "The Ballad of Barbie Allen." Snippets from Earth-11.2563, a world of somewhat more selective genderswap (and/or sexswap), centered around the home turf of the Fastest Woman Alive.

(OWOD (Werewolf: the Apocalypse/Vampire: the Masquerade))) - "Fenris Meets Captain America." Nearly sixty years after they parted in postwar Germany, Fenrir Kinfolk Alex Laukkanen wakes up to war buddy Jeremiah Lazarus hiding out in his room, looking not a day older. It seems that Nazis are after him and this time, the Nazis are also werewolves. (Side story to The Wolves Eat Well This Year)

(OWOD (Werewolf: the Apocalypse)) - "Historical Inevitability." 1941: Much to his consternation, a young Russian Bone Gnawer and political officer finds himself assigned to partner an equally young and bright-eyed Silver Fang Kin (ergo scion of the aristocracy) fresh from officer training. He'd be furious, if only the other man had any idea why. (Side story to The Wolves Eat Well This Year)

(OWOD (Werewolf: the Apocalypse)) - "In the Thrall of the Wyrm." After a young metis's frenzy goes terribly wrong, his packmate convalesces and tries to put the pieces together.

While I maintain that none of the stories below should be enough to make the unprepared scream and run and the knowledgeable have aneurysms, be aware that even if you like certain of my fics, you may (and probably will) find others completely putrid and an affront to all good and canon in the world. Writing for years tends to result in changes - at least, I hope I've changed. Same generally applies if you happen to run across any particularly idiotic reviews I've made.
