NOTICE: Real life sucks, but I won't let it win! I've been slowly yet surely working on YRP, so I hope to get it out in the next two weeks. If I don't, well, feel free to send me an email bomb :).

CURRENT DISTRACTIONS: Real life (yes, I do have one :D ), mostly relating to my job. And yes, I do still play WoW. Blame Blizzard for making such a fun and addicting game :P.

Greetings friends!

For those of you who don't already know, I am Xenolord's brother. We usually shoot each other ideas back and forth for fictions. I had him post some of my writings on the site under his name to see how they worked out. Not too many reviews, but I'm gonna risk it and post them under my own profile. The fictions of mine that are on Xeno's profile will be deleted and resubmitted on my own profile, so do look here in the future if you wish to read them. I'll have him post a notice in his profile to remind everyone.

Anyways, a little about me. I'm currently not taking classes, but plan to do so in either the Spring or next Fall, money permitting. I work in a deli to pay the bills (and to get my daily dose of stress). I like to read, write, and play games in my spare time. Occasionally, I like to ponder about things in the world, which usually leads me nowhere. It's still fun. Xeno and I, we have some interesting conversations to say the least.

For those of you who wish to review, please feel free to critique me all you'd like. I'll ask that the flames stay low, though. Unless you have some useful feed back in your flames, please keep them in the fireplace. It's bad to play with fire after all.

If anyone has questions, or would like to shoot me an email, feel free to do so. The email should appear on my profile page. Also, if anyone has any requests, don't hesitate to ask. I'll either write it or I won't (if I won't, Xeno might). I'm pretty open minded, but I absolutely will not write hentai, yaoi, or yuri (the hardcore stuff that is, I'll do the fluffy stuff).

Also, about those Vampire fictions I wrote. They are based on a series of books I'm currently working on (right now on a when I feel like it basis). If anyone would like to know more about them, the characters, or the story, please send me a PM or an email and I'll happily explain. I'll also take any suggestions and/or critiques you may have into consideration. I'm a relatively new writer, so I welcome feedback. Just as I said before, refrain from flaming.

And this is probably a good time to put in a general disclaimer. Here goes:
I do not own any of the game franchises and/or characters that are written in my fictions (unless otherwise stated at the beginning of any of my stories). They are property of their respective companies. I write what I write strictly for the enjoyment of myself and the other people who may read them.

I DO own the following characters:
Michael Ross
James Cooper (One would think I would at least own myself, right?)
Alexis Strauss
Raymond Maxwell
Faith Brooks

All of these characters appear in my Vampire fictions. Again, any questions and/or comments you have, don't hesitate to email me. I'll respond as speedily as possible.

Other little cool details about me are:
Favorite Shoujo-ai Pairing: Rikku and Paine from FF X-2.
Favorite Normal Pairing: Me and my girlfriend :).
Favorite Games: Final Fantasy VII and X-2, Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines, Dirge of Cerberus, Soul Calibur, X-Com, and most Elder Scrolls games.
Favorite Food: Pizza with extra cheese, sausage and pepperoni.
Favorite Drink: Mountain Dew.
Favorite Game Series: Anything that says either Elder Scrolls or Vampire the Masquerade in the title somewhere. And World of Warcraft.
Favorite Color: Emerald (my birthstone).

Finally, on a completely unrelated note, for those of you with WoW accounts, I play mostly on the Scryers server. Just in case you want to flame me for taking too long to write my story. I have several characters, but the two I play on the most are Arowin and Kougasan, both Night Elves (sorry all you Hordies, you'll have to roll Alliance to roll with me :D ). Just whisper me if I'm on or mail me. Just make sure you tell me how you know me so I don't think I'm being stalked :D.
