Obligatory "About Me"...

The fan fiction I write currently deals mainly with orcs, because they have long been (and continue to be) a small obsession of mine. Specifically, I have a tendency towards orc women, who I feel are sorely overlooked in fan fiction.

My older Inuyasha stories will remain as they are, with Ever After in a state of permanent incompleteness. I do apologize for this. I, also, am frustrated by unfinished stories, and I would remove it all together from this site, except that it has quite a few favorites, and I really have no where else that it is posted. So, I suppose, you can enjoy it as it stands.

Current Stories...

In my stories, I have done a little world building around the orc culture (within the framework of the Tolkien world). My goal has been to keep orcs "true to form" within what Tolkien has given us with reference to them, but to make them somewhat more complex as characters and a people. There are many interpretations of orcs in the Middle Earth vein (since Tolkien himself has been kind enough to be so vague and inconsistent about them), so please consider this my interpretation. You don't have to like my interpretation, just understand that I have done my fair share of research before creating what I have.

There is quite a bit of "extra material" in addition to my stories. You don't, necessarily, need to look over the pictures and maps, but for me they are a fun addition to the stories. I also use them as reference, so I suppose they could also be interesting from a process standpoint.

Regarding Updates: There will be long stretches of time when I do not update my orc stories. Please do not think that is because I have abandoned them. I have every intension of finishing all of my orc fiction. But I am slow, and sometimes too busy to update regularly/ often. Please do not PM me asking when a story will update. If I intend to abandon a story, I will make note of it here, and if you see no note of it here, then it is not abandoned.

Mature Reading

Not all of my stories are suitable for fanfiction(dot)net. Below are satellite
one shots that exist in the same "universe" as my other orc stories, but
are hosted off site.

[rapefic/femme slash] A mature (MA!) one shot centered around two Uruk hai
sisters looking to add to their family. Very dark. Hosted on AO3

Gift Stories

Oaths

Based on Zoop's The Healer's Oath, I make my own, awkward attempt at
continuing the story of Nymhriel and Gundshau with the blessing of the
author. I definitely suggest reading The Healer's Oath, since Oaths leans
heavily on its predecessor.

Freedom's Limits

I make one, offhanded mention of Woman x Orc escapades, and all of a
sudden Zoop adopts them. A wholly sanctioned story of love and tragedy,
kindly and excellently told by the Great Zoop.

Summary: "He had only come across such vileness once before, three
years past. Then, it had been a Woman with an orc lover. She had been
beyond redemption, defending her monstrous partner as though it were
her goodly husband." - 'Splint,' by helenamarkos.

Who were they? What was their story? With the gracious permission of
the author, Zoop is about to tell you...

I write because it's fun, but I really do love reviews. If you could take the time to review, I would really appreciate it. Thanks so much for reading!
