Author has written 1 story for Fallout.

Hello everyone!

I like cats and pizza and writing. My main squeeze is the Fallout series, but if you talk Dragon Age, (Telltale's) The Walking Dead, or Elder Scrolls at me then we will be fast friends too.

I Watched Over You From Afar

I'm thinking this might be the first installment to a series that I don't want to get too excited about yet. I have four other potential stories that fall within my headcanon that I'm just dying to get out and see what people think. I actually started out by trying to write them all out as a single monstrosity that I'd no doubt never finish, especially due to life getting in the way and some rusty writing skills in desperate need of polishing.

Baby don't hurt me Feel free to provide any constructive criticism you think of. I'm also rewriting some earlier Fallout 3 and New Vegas material from notebooks. (Yeah, you read that right. Like spiral notebooks, complete with dorky drawings and a massive wake of eraser shavings.)

Sorry if I go a couple of weeks without updating. At the moment writing is the one true love I can't really be with right now, no matter how much as I want to ditch my job and write all day every day. I also do not have a beta reader. All mistakes and discontinuity are my own oversight.

That's it. I love you. Goodbye!
