If you haven't seen it, you should go read this nifty essay titled "What's So Bad About Making Money Off of Fan Fiction?"

And along with that, I have a account! If you would like to see commissioned fanart based on my stories, or meet me at a convention, or just want to show a little monetary appreciation for my writing, then click the link and donate away!

I am an occasional writer, voracious reader, and not-as-often-as-I-want-to gamer. Mostly fond of fantasy and science fiction, I also give a nod to well-written military fiction.

Standard disclaimer for all stories: All rights and ownership of characters belongs to their respective creators, especially Chris Avellone because he's cool.

6 Feb 2013: In memory of Robin Sachs, I started a Zaeed-central fic. I didn't realize until I heard the news yesterday that he also played Ethan Rayne in Buffy, who was one of the better villains; and his hammy performance in Galaxy Quest was just so fitting. His performance as Zaeed, of course, did not get nearly as good a presentation as it should have.

25 Feb 2013: Thank you everyone for the reviews! Mass Effect Reloaded is over a hundred reviews, and nearly 10k views, so I guess people like it or something. As a note to self: Potential future ideas, still in the stuck-in-my-head phase: Wreck-It Reaper (two teens plugs their portable PS3 suitcases into the arcade power strip, leading to Harbinger assuming direct control of the cy-bugs. Can Commander Shepard and Cole McGrath stop the Reapers before they doom the entire arcade?); A Fistful of Shepards (One Shepard spontaneously turns into two when they go to talk to Nihlus. A third appears on Eden Prime to save Ashley, and a fourth awakens in med bay after the beacon explodes. What's causing all these different versions of Shepard to appear?)

8 Mar 2013: Please check out the story "Galactic Life, and Reapers", edited by LegionN7: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9081249/1/Galactic-Life-and-Reapers It is a group effort, and I have a part in it! Mine isn't posted yet, but please read and review anyway!

15 Apr 2013: Thanks again to the Aria's Afterlife forum! I was just the judge, jury, and executioner for the April Fool's Fic contest. Please check out the Aria's Contests and Challenges listing ( http://www.fanfiction.net/community/Aria-s-Contests-and-Challenges/104865/ ) and read the five submissions. They are all really funny and well worth it!

6 Jun 2013: What with focusing on Reloaded, Fistful, Torment, and now Ascension, it probably seems like I've let my smaller stories fall by the wayside. Don't worry, I do intend to keep working on all of them ... if somewhat intermittently.

25 Jun 2013: A Fistful of Shepards now has a custom cover, thanks to the wonderful Orifiel! She writes stories too, in addition to drawing amazing things using only MS Paint, so check out her profile here on FF! Thanks again, Ori!

25 Jul 2013: So, when I go on vacation, so does my muse. Sorry to everyone for the hiatus, but I'm back at work and writing again!

1 Sep 2013: It's the start of Scouting fundraising season! For anyone looking for a good scout to support, visit http://?scout=dff82df2680de5f and help out my Scout.

10 Dec 2013: NaNo is behind me now, so for those of you pining for my Mass Effect fics, they are returning! Sadly, even though I won NaNo, I have to re-write 80% of it thanks to my nephew frying my laptop hard drive and video card. Wish me luck, and check out my NaNo fic, Fallout: Equestria - Unburied as it gets posted.

31 Dec 2013: Hard to believe I've now been posting chapters for only a week over one year. Crazy. In that time, I've written over 400k words, and I'm proud of at least half of that. Hope everyone has had a good year reading, and we can all look forward to another one!

25 Feb 2014: Looking for someone knowledgeable in both Mass Effect and Babylon 5 canon to beta a new fic. Any responders who cannot send a PM using proper spelling and grammar will be instantly disqualified.

23 Aug 2014: At exactly 1:02 am, Pacific time, according to my views page, Mass Effect Reloaded is at exactly 400,000 views! Thank you everyone for reading, and I hope I continue to keep everyone entertained with the utterly changed storyline!

13 Sep 2014: It's another year, and another Scouting fundraising season! For anyone looking for a good scout to support, visit Trails End popcorn and purchase something to help my scout! Or a scout in your area. I'm not picky.

20 Jun 2015: I'm not dead, but I am on deployment, and writing has been ... pretty close to nonexistent. Don't worry, I am not giving up on my writing, but it might very well stretch all the way to 2016 before I can find the time to write regularly again.

15 Nov 2015: So after not writing all year, I have finished NaNo with over 50,000. I'll try to keep going the rest of the month anyway, but just let the thought of Reloaded going to at least chapter 90 keep you warm at night. :)
