Used to go by 'amnothuman', hence the above joke. :P I can't guarantee that the older stuff is any good.

I am a recluse. Because people are terrifying and I'm really shy. ...and my email is broken, but that's another story, a story of laziness.

Please don't spam my fics with comments that make it clear you didn't even read my story. You are welcome to put fanfic recs in reviews if they are relevant, however. You are also welcome to steal any of my ideas that you want, I'm not one of those weirdly possessive authors who seem to have forgotten they're writing fanfic, just don't do something weird and illegal like sell my story for cash.

Feel to translate or whatever, too.

My Fanfics:

I'm low on motivation at the moment. My last two reviews were completely negative, on two of my more experimental stories. One of them made it clear they didn't even READ the fucking story properly, as their concerns were addressed in freaking chapter one. The other one made it clear they didn't care for the style of the story - an ASCII experimental art story. If you don't like the style or if it doesn't load for you properly, why fucking bother to read? It wouldn't kill you to just close your browser and go away.

edit: Actually, I've decided to quit. So, yeah. I deleted 'Forced Empathy' which was about a more realistic take on psychopathy than you usually see, I know some people liked it but I felt I didn't write it well enough and that making /both/ characters incredibly flawed was ultimately a strategy that just didn't pay off because people didn't get it / hated that Harry was as fucked up as his canon counterpart in throwing out unforgivables while lecturing the opposition for doing it. Also I got tired of comments from people who very obviously didn't know what the fuck they were talking about complain about my take on psychopaths. Dude, if you have a link showing the articles I linked were wrong, I would have been happy to read them, but you didn't bother.

My highest reviewed stories are Zombie Cat Science, which has a suicidal nonbinary character who reincarnates into different bodies of different genders as a twist on the 'self insert' genre', and Dragon Captain Ushujaa, which, uh, could definitely have been written less haphazardly, but people like it, I guess.

Sooo half the time I go looking at my fanfic and going 'oh gods this sucks, I should have chosen to do X instead of Y'. Also find myself wishing I could turn off looking at review counts. They drive me a little nuttier than they should. :P It's just a reminder that not everyone shares my tastes. The more brainless, the more popular...

On Dragon Slayer, I feel like maybe I critiqued Hiccup a bit too strongly and made some people dislike or hate him (one person called him a spoiled brat) and, yeah, he was kind of spoiled (it was how he came off to me in fridge-logic), but he's also an oblivious teenager, and had no way of knowing him leaving would lead to so much disaster? I guess I should be proud if I managed to put a dent in the Hiccup love, since the point of the fic was to show other characters could be interesting for once and that the whole chosen boy nerd savior thing gets old (not all versions of Hiccup use that, but some do; I'm thinking of fanfics where Hiccup demands everyone worship at his feet for being mean to him and everyone else is an idiot). Still, if it made anyone feel that way, I didn't want to tip it into outright hate of Hiccup. I wanted him to be more human, rather than the guy who 'constantly tells other people they are wrong for not noticing really obvious thing that the writers intentionally wrote them as too stupid to notice'.
