Hi there. I've been a fanficcer for many a year now, and I'm still grinding out the prose, however slowly. I work full time these days, which means I can be a bit slow about correspondence, but I do try to reply to all reviews and PM's I receive.

I'm always happy to drop a review if asked; otherwise I'll only review if I've read something all the way through, which happens rarely these days. Please know that I'm a thorough reviewer, however, and I won't hesitate to mention things that I disliked--or loved--and take that into consideration before making a request.

In addition to writing fanfic, I run a Pokémon fansite, Thousand Roads (thousandroads . net). I mostly use it to talk fanfic, one way or another; I post occasional bits of advice, rants, or just observations of things I find interesting about Pokémon fanfic. I also maintain a full list of my fanfics, not all of which are posted here (thousandroads . net / fanfic / my-fics) and a list of fanfic recommendations (thousandroads . net / fanfic / ficrecs) where I gush about my faves for a bit. Feel free to toss me any recs you might have as well--I'm always looking for a new story to enjoy! I'm most interested in OC 'fics that do not center on romance, but if it's well-written I'm down for pretty much anything.

Thousand Roads also has an associated forum community where you can post your fic, get help with your writing, and participate in all kinds of contests and events: forums . thousandroads . net

Or, if you prefer real-time chat, check out the Discord server: discord . gg / BeWCYxk

Currently, my big fanfic project is Salvage. In addition to the chapters I've posted here, you can find story extras, like bits of worldbuilding, deleted scenes, and character backstory, on my tumblr: negrek . tumblr . com / tagged / salvage-extras
