A MESSAGE TO THOSE WISHING TO CONTACT ME REGARDING POTENTIAL COLLABORATIONS OR PARTNERSHIPS/FAN ART/THE SOLICITATION OF COMMISSIONS:

(This message is necessitated due to an increased number of PMs I have received clogging up my email. My apologies if this does not pertain to you.)

First - PLEASE DO NOT MESSAGE ME SOLICITING COMMISSIONS OF ART WORK OF MY STORIES OR BY REQUESTING TO COLLABORATE WITH ME FOR A FEE.

IF YOU ARE ASKING FOR PAYMENT FOR ART WORK OF ANY KIND, THE ANSWER AT THIS TIME IS NO.

At this time, I do not have funds for commissions for my stories.

For this reason, please do not message me with vague requests for commissions, especially if you are calling them 'collaborations'. Collaborations are NOT commissions, the latter of which involves payment of some kind. I will NOT answer PMs of this sort - EVER.

If you are hoping that I might commission you at a time in the future when I have funds and would like to promote yourself, you may PM me with the subject line: "Future Commissions Opportunity with Portfolio and Prices". Include in your message links to your portfolio/social media and include in the message your list of prices.

If you do not follow this request - any other messages of this sort are going in my trash folder and will not be replied to. Do the "work" of following this request, and I will check out your work if ever I am looking to commission art work. Thank you!

For those wishing to produce any fan art of my works-

I LOVE to see fan arts of my work! Additionally, I recognize that you choose to make it simply because you want to, without asking for anything in return. For this reason, I am always humbled and grateful to the artists that approach me with this request, knowing that it is a donation of their time and talent and that they do it out of love for my work. So, when it comes to Fan Art, all I ask is the following:

1. You send me a PM with the subject "Fan Art" requesting permission. (Typically I reply quickly and in the affirmative!)

2. You send me a copy of your finished Fan Art.

3. You grant me permission to post it on my social media accounts (I always link back to the artist).

4. That if you post it online, that you attribute my work as the inspiration for the scene you draw, include links to the story, attribute me as the original author, and link back to my profile with each post.

For those who wish to collaborate with me, I ask for the following:

1. Send me a PM with the subject "Collaboration Request."

2. In your PM, please lay out a detailed outline of your collaboration proposal.

3. In your PM, please also include links to your social media accounts.

4. Once your PM is sent, please allow for 1 month response time. I am often traveling/highly busy with work and I will want to go over your proposal thoroughly before a respond. As such, that is why I request you give me 1 month of time to respond to your request.

5. Recognize that by the term 'collaborate' I am referring to a mutually beneficial partnership and that I do not agree to any "collaboration" that involves payment (see above - that's called a commission!!)

6. Finally, know that I love to collaborate with others, but I often have time constraints. As such, I thank you in advance for being understanding of my time. Thank you!

Present Story (In-Progress) : Defying Destiny

Summary: "Even if every piece of you disappeared and if it scattered everywhere; No, I won't waver, I'll start back at one and look for you all over again." Six years later and the searches continue. One search, never acknowledged, and one that started with completing a puzzle eight years ago. But… can Yugi and Seto really defy destiny? Or will lives and hearts forever be shattered?

-About Me-

I'm an avid dreamer, but as life has taught me again and again, acting on dreams has been the most rewarding thing of all.

I love creative and imaginative stories that cross into the depths of our hearts, reminding us of what makes us human and alive. Adventure, romance, angst, friendships, rivalries, trials, hardship, and a push to overcome challenges are all elements of stories that I find to be fascinating to the human soul.

I love Graphic Novels, Anime, Manga, Photography, Japanese Culture, Travel and Cosplay. My first love is and always will be Teen Titans, but I know a variety of series from a diversity of entertainment mediums. Normally, in my spare time I enjoy sewing, blogging, doting on my dog, going to concerts, cosplaying, studying Japanese (よろしくね！), and traveling.

Our minds have infinite potential, if we just use them and explore the divine instinct we all have to create. As such, I write for fun and to expand my imagination. And for that reason, FanFiction.Net will always hold a special place in my heart, so please feel free to follow me on here. You never know when a surprise might come from me out of here. ;)

As always, I wish to thank everyone who has read or sent in reviews for my stories! You guys make my day, every day.

Please feel free to connect with me on other platforms. I’m somewhat of a shy one sometimes, but every connection brings me joy

Much love and I hope you find something you enjoy on here from me!

Later,

~Rena

-Notes on Correspondence-

Reviewing Requests From Me to You:

I always appreciate reviews, especially when you want to tell me that you enjoyed my work! I always feel such joy and happiness when I get those review notifications. However, if there was something you did not like in my work and wish to tell me about it, I’d like to request that you provide constructive criticism in your reviews rather than just flame me with insults. It's hard to make things better if I don't know what's wrong and I am always open to suggestions on how to improve my work.

And as always, if you want more, make sure in your reviews to tell me! :)

My Ability to Respond to PMs, Reviews, Requests, etc.:

Unfortunately my schedule is very hectic and as a result, I really can only check my inbox on this site once a month or so. For that reason, please be patient with me. I do try to respond when I can, I really do, but life… well, inevitably it can get in the way. Thank you always for your patience and understanding though regarding my limitations.
