Name: Lux Aureus

Gender: Male

About Me: I love epics, both modern and ancient. Stuff like the Odyssey and the Aeneid, all the way through Inferno and The Once and Future King to Tolkien, Star Wars, and Harry Potter.

I'm not big on talking about myself? I can't stand self-insert fics, and I've got a low threshold on my Mary-Sue-ometer. If you're going to put an original character into a fanfiction, it better have a good reason and it better not be showing up the other characters.

I prefer characters with legitimate and severe flaws to more "typical" ones. I dislike writing about requited love; I have a difficult time writing a story with two characters in love that ends happily for them. In terms of fanfiction, I tend to prefer canon romantic pairings; if it's good enough for the writers, then it's usually good enough for me.

I don't like angst. In the words of Cave Johnson, "When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade! Make life take the lemons back!" Don't wallow in self-pity! Do something about it! Even if it's just planning to yourself about what you're going to do, it's better than just sitting around crying because your life sucks.
