Author has written 2 stories for Harry Potter, and Pokémon.

Hey there, thanks for being interested in the man behind the monitor. I'm just here to tell a good story, and as reading and writing are some of the primary sources of learning in my life, maybe share and gain some knowledge while I'm at it. I've been a huge pokemon fan since Red and Blue hit the USA, and after reading Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality and Luminosity, realized that this was something fairly unique I could do to satisfy the growing demand for rational fiction, both by others and most importantly, within myself.

I hope you enjoy it, and as I'm here to learn as well as entertain, any and all feedback is always appreciated, either in reviews or in the /r/rational subreddit where I post each chapter for discussion. You can also go to my website, which is just my username dot com, to find other things I've written or worked on, like my podcast.
