Trying things again, just another aspect of my existence.

Been around long enough to have an account from when FF.net started and FFML was the only way to go, and to have forgotten both everything I ever posted, wrote, and even the username itself. You could say its my second go round.

I tend to be particularly fond of what I think of as 'Non-Pants on Head Stupidity' stories. My own definition would be stories with good character development and build up and which avoid appealing to the lowest common denominator for motive force - that is, minimal bashing, willful blindness, or blatant appeals to emotion without any actual development.

Favorite Anime and Manga series would include Naruto (which I loved through the Chuunin Exam Arc and then would just as soon have a rewrite for everything after), Bleach (but for the love of all that is good, what the hell was with that ending?), Slayers, Captain Tylor, the Patlabor Movies, Martian Successor Nadesico, Hataraku Maou Sama, Yotsuba!, Shokugeki no Soma, Ranma .5, Full Metal Panic, Gunsmith Cats, Persona IV, HotD, Re: Life, Delicious in Dungeon, Hellsing, Drifters, Barakamon, Azumanga Daioh, Noragami: Stray Gods, Spice x Wolf, and many, many others.

Guilty Pleasures Include J Novels, Stuff by Okayado, and Shipping (God Dammit Kubo . . .). Oddly enough, I tend to ship pairings that have at least some back and forth tension (IchiRuki), but which again, avoids 'Pants on Head Stupidity Bordering on Abuse' triggers - such as Ranma / Akane. Go figure.

Favorite Sci Fi would Include: Slum Online, All You Need is Kill, Looking Glass Series, Posleen War Series, Honor Harrington, Gaunt's Ghosts, Ciphas Cain, Armour.

Favorite Fiction: The Sound of Waves,

Favorite Authors: Dan Abbnett, John Ringo, Sandy Mitchell.

If I Could Forcibly Unretire an author on this site, it would probably be Black Dragon6 to Finish all his Ranma stories, Alliyea to finish her Bleach AU, and Nugar to finish 'People Lie'.
