Age: Older Every Day

I have a bad habit of starting stories and not getting around to finishing them. I'm sorry. I'm very busy in real life and I do this for fun, so I don't write for a story if I'm not inspired. Reviews and messages encourage me to write more, but I won't pretend it's a guarantee.

A fair number of my stories on this site are honestly crap. I joined and started writing for the site back in 2006. I've improved a lot since then, and a lot of my stuff is actually on other sites, such as Spacebattles, Sufficient Velocity, and Questionable Questing. Search for me there if any of this stuff intrigues you, but peruse the older stuff at your own peril.

I appreciate constructive criticism on all levels and fully encourage it. If something seems a bit off or questionable to you about a story, please oh please call me out on it. Sometimes it's a deliberate thing, but other times I just wrote it and didn't realize. I can't improve if I don't know when I'm messing up.

Thoughts on my Stories (October 2021)

But Momma, I don't want to be a Pirate! - A delightful thing that taught me a lot about how to write. Because I made some pretty fundamental errors in my narrative construction, and I learned a lot about how to construct a story by actually studying how Oda constructed One Piece. For all its flaws, it's something I have fond memories of, and have recently, finally, gotten around to a well-deserved fundamental rewrite in...

Ashes of Dreams - My newest story, and something I've had on the backburner for quite some time. A more properly developed and thought out story that doesn't risk powerscaling into absurdity. With a far better handle on the One Piece humor and story structure at a base level.

Imperial Von Neumann - A Warhammer 40k Self Insert, and something I'm always itching to get back to writing. Currently on Hiatus. I'll try and get it updated to include the various other chapters that currently exist on other sites. But it's one of my favorite pieces to have written. The "Then I shall protect them myself!" is still one of my favorite lines to have written.

Grim Developments - A RWBY story that ballooned outside of what it should've. I've since learned to better constrain my story concepts rather than letting them grow and grow and grow out of control. This story would've been a lot better if I'd constrained the story more tightly than I had, rather than trying to build it out into a longer story.

Who's Got my Gum?, and all my Avatar stuff other than 'Soft as Sand, Strong as a Hurricane' are delightful little bits of shipping stuff that I'm happy to have written, even now. Most everything else is adorably terrible old schlock.
