Welcome one and all, to my home page. I'm a 26 year old amateur writer, who decided to dabble in this site during his spare time. I always enjoyed coming here for a few hours, perusing other peoples' work, enjoying and critiquing the styles. Then, in college, many of my close friends were avid anime fans, so I found a wider knowledge base for many of the titles and categories located on this site. One thing irked me, however, and that was getting to a certain point in a really good story, only to discover that the author had not updated in months, or worse, years. I can honestly say that, after attempting to write my own story, I'm guilty of exactly the same thing. But this time, I'm going to finish this, with some discipline, patience and your help. Otherwise it'll haunt me forever.

When I started to write, I decided to stick to certain basic rules for my story. First of all, the story had to be properly written, with spelling, grammar, punctuation, etc. That was a given. Also, the story had to give a clear idea of what I was trying to express. Trying to come up with an original idea, however, and original characters, now that was a challenge. I will use another author's universe and characters, as much as they serve as a background for my story, but the main character(s) had to be my own creation. Otherwise, I'm guilty of manipulating events and characters more than I feel comfortable doing. And the story had to be a closed loop, like a filler episode. It could happen, or not, and it wouldn't change the course of the main story on any permanent basis.

Please let me know what you think in your reviews. They really help motivate me to continue writing. It shows that you all not only care enough to read my work, but you also want me to get better via your constructive criticism.
