Hi all. I had an account on here for a long while, Duraiken, but forgot my e-mail account password for the e-mail that my old account was attached to and forgot my password to eventually too. An attempt to contact the mods and/or admins here got me nothing, so I'm starting over. I'm doing better at passwords now, and my interest in writing has rekindled - my interest in reading never died, though original and published works are catching my eyes again.

8/3/17 - Ugh. My muses are... hard for me to understand I guess. I have to admit, part of the problem is me. Writer's version of Performance Anxiety I guess. I've done a few more snippets here and there for other people's stuff, but I have trouble anything with longer than a page or so, particularly projects I can claim wholly as my own. At some point in the next few months I'll try to find time to bring the few things I did as such here that fit the above (works that are wholly mine, ) few though they are, but that'll be a while.
In the meantime, most of my creative endeavors lately have been creative photography. I've got a Deviant - Art account, same name as here, Gatewae Wanderer, without the space though. Managed to get one poem written recently, so maybe I'll get more stuff written at some point. All of the recent poems were actually old ones I never posted anywhere but Ficly... which became a read only site without any upkeep and I never realized it. Again, ugh.

Wrote a very short cracky snippet on "The Fanfiction Forum" that's featured as part of a collection of likeminded crackfics here on fanfiction.net by http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1086714/Kelenas , specifically http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6048150/1/Ninja_Arts_and_You chapter 7, Digging.
