Ever since I wrote my first story, I've gotten the most joy through the act of narration and telling stories. The other reason I write is to help me understand myself by looking at every aspect of my character individually, and there is no better way to do it then to bring it to life and put it in an environment. With every year i enter, I learn more and more of myself and the world around me, and begin to understand how I act.

Every character I create is a part of myself, and every scene I write is an experience I lived or a person I know or have encountered. Someone wise once said, "Write what you know," so that's what I try to do.

The series .hack//SIGN drew me in automatically when I learned it was a character driven anime. So many personalities clashed with each other, making it one of my two favorite animes ever created. With a setting such as The World, the endless possiblities of stories can be created and told, and that is what I am hoping to do with this story.

I finally decided to do a story when I put up a .hack character bio on a message board. When I re-read the character I, I realized that I characterized myself, the one person I understand the least. With the help of college writing classes, I've learned better mechanics with my already acquired abilities of narration, whether they be good of bad.

So that's the summation I guess. Whether or not I am going to include the incidents with Morganna, Twighlight, or Liminality is yet to be seen. Seeing how I haven't decided a part of the .hack timeline this will take place in grants me the ambivalence to do whatever I please. I just thank the people who take the time to read it, and I hope you enjoy it.
