/MURDERS ANY TWILIGHT ADS THAT MIGHT APPEAR IN THIS PROFILE/

/cough/ No, I'm not a fan of Twilight. How'd you guess? Moving on...

Bears Love Tourists (formerly known as Rurouni Saiyan)

Name: My mom calls me one thing, my work partner something else, and I sign my credit card receipts with something entirely different. So I guess my name is whatever anyone wants it to be.

Location: I work in the lovely, friendly (*gets struck by lightning*) city of Jackson, Mississippi (otherwise known as the land mass between NOLA and Mobile). I live nearby.

Age: If you want to know that, you're creepy.

Occupation: EMT

Facts that no one cares about: I started on this website a long time ago under the penname Rurouni Saiyan. After a few mildly successful Yu Yu Hakusho fics (now deleted 'cause I reread them and hated them), I got the glorious idea of my monster story A Fragmented Tale, a Riku-centric Kingdom Hearts AU that was wildly popular. As I was writing the last chapter, this website decided that it didn't like the way my author's notes were done for some arbitrary reason, and they deleted it. Needless to say, I was unhappy about spending a year working on a 70 chapter story that got over 1400 reviews only to watch it go poof for something so trivial, so I took a long hiatus from here and started accounts on other fanfiction sites. However, it seems that none of those sites exist any more, so I'm stuck back here. I try to keep up with the stupid rules. Key word: try.

Yes, I did finish AFT, but I deleted the story soon after posting, because I just couldn't stand for it to stay on this website. Also, I reread it, and I really don't like it any more. Yes, I also tried to work on a sequel, but after several false starts, I realized that I would never get a plot going that satisfied me, and plus I didn't see the point after KH2 was released. The second game is much better than anything I could have come up with. However, if you would like to take a peek at the monster, you can find it at its own website here:

I'm a canon freak. I hate high school stories, self-inserts, Mary Sues, yaoi, or anything of that nature. All of the former take the characters out-of-character, and that is guaranteed to ruin a story. So if you beg me to read your story, know that there's limits to what I can stand. That being said, I dearly love crossovers. Make the worlds come together seamlessly and work together flawlessly, and you have my respect and fanhood.

No, I'm not a very nice person in real life, either. :P Too much time working in the service industry (movie theaters and ambulances).

Quotes to remember:

"Bears love tourists. They taste like chicken." --Yellowstone T-shirt.

"I have no quarrel with history, but I'm often appalled by the people who make it." --Diego de la Vega (1957 Zorro)

Updates (8/9/13):

Yes, I'm still alive, and no I'm not working on Torment like I should be. I aim for that to change before the year ends...and that sounds sad. Meanwhile, any Batman Beyond fans can enjoy my little oneshot.
