Quirelhide bio
 Author has written 20 stories for Halo, StarCraft, and Mass Effect. 4/26/18: It's been a long time. It's been a long, long time. It's been four years since I last published. I've done a lot in that absence. I've been in and out of school, I've been in and out of jobs, and I've been looking for a direction in life. I'm back. Things have changed. For the first time in a long time, I've found a road to follow. And I've found my muse. We've been talking so much, and for the first time in years, I can sit down and write. I've got old stories to finish, and new stories to tell. Very soon, I promise. *END MESSAGE* *JUMP PAD ACTIVATION INITIATION START* *TRANSPORT WHEN READY* |

Death of the Author by CZena reviews
The author finds out that internet fanfiction-writing ineviteably results in egotistical power-fantasy, self-insert silliness. The author then finds out they're not egotistical enough and didn't give themselves nearly enough power...Or perhaps gave too much. Battletech self-insert that hopefully defies some of the genre conventions while living up to others. It's practice.
