~~Taupe here (aka CB). Welcome to my FanFiction profile, and writing hobby home.

Thanks for stopping by, it's about time I got a traditional respectable FFn account. Bear with me as I am understanding the publication format here on FFn.

~This is a HOBBY, meaning I can only release fics as time and access allows. Inconsistent updates, I will try my best. I am not always consistent in publication/submission of fics: I have a life outside the internet

Please note: don't waste your time contacting me with anything too personal or not related to fics/fandom, I will not reply. I am aware and active concerning online safety. Do not msg me with any unsolicited info. I am here for FAN WORKS, not personal or unsafe things.

oooooo

NOTICES as of March 2019~

...Hooray, I'm back, baby! Albeit life-pace updates, I am capable if not ready to slowlyyyy re-enter Fic life.

{Life Update, if no likey no read}

I have undergone a lifestyle change that made me reevaluate myself and my life. In the last year elapsed, I:

Graduated Uni, had a grueling retail job, underwent 5-6 MONTHS of Life uncertainty.

My job, extended family, and physical health suffered to a point where I chipped happier parts of myself away.

As an adult sometimes creating a healthier medium is an odd boundary to stare at.

I felt I was stagnating, overstaying my welcome. My SO was suffering from a personal tragedy. I sunk into a funk... Along with my attitude. I felt that my work self, my finances, and an emotionally-safe home life fled me.

That aside, my job gave me motivation to keep my attitude consistent. Even if I was replaceable.

In that time light came through-- a better work ethic evolved. I now gather that I learned grit. My Positivity, Determination, and Discipline to be a better self stuck. Yes, goofy capital nouns.

Earlier in this year I was offered a promotion.

An answer that came from somewhere beyond. Previous to it, I was convinced I was to be replaced in the season. (After learning I was not even on the list of top people for the potential position.) I took it upon myself to interview, remain calm, and contact the District Manager to alert them of my interest. I was hired hours later. My Administrative Job is by no means a true salary. But it is consistency, positivity, and purpose when I need it. And I love it; stakes, stress, and all. And in a Woman-Run franchise?! Power be!

Thanks,

with heart, from CB*

P.S. My old grudges for people I ghosted (for valid reasons, albeit in the most negative manner) are gone. I want to thank a group of people I left in 2015 during a critical point in life. I never forgot; i have redefined myself, my experiences, and Moved On! I'm ready for letting live, accepting, and interactions or experiences.

I am living in a way that helps me embrace me and my lifestyle.

Even if things in life are short-term...all good things are meant to be savored positively.

Thanks to a whirlwind turn of events I am more aware of self and others. I have dignity and a life. It is not defined by others' negative opinions of [insert something of mine]. *

oooooooooo

NOTICES as of Jan 2019 -~

1) because of a security issue, i will NOT accept private messages as of now

oooooooooooooooooooooooooo

My shameless plug? I make NO MONEY from fanfics EVER. This is a part of my personal outlets.

I am versed in Literature Comparative Theory, English Language Emphasis! Familiar with (not limited to) Cultural/Anthro and Intersectional areas including Womxn's and Gender interests.

That said, I love to push boundaries in my works. I read with an open mind. Research is part of writing. I must constantly shift and develop my understandings of fics in process.

As a Writer: I try to mentally stretch, by complicating, questioning, and subverting elements of literature. I also like to tangle or disrupt themes, motifs, tropes, forms. I will follow the established/structured or useful aspects of literatures as I see fit.

As a Reader: I am proud of my works. I read voraciously. Fandom is an aspect of hobby life and a damn fun one.

To the Visitors, Writers, Fans, Audience, and Readers: YOU are a critical part of the fan-literature and fanfiction process. Don't be afraid to dip your feet into something that challenges you. Enjoy what you find. Question, trouble, change, and reimagine during your explorations in literatures and genres!

Enjoy my Lits and Fics!

fandoms (take a breath):

I do not have the time to game...but I grew up w many games & I'm often around Game culture members. I also deliberately misspel Netflix bc it's an inside joke in a small friend circle.

Jim Henson's Labyrinth, many Disney Films, Don Bluth works, ATLA ( I haven't finished ATLA or LOK in recent years), POTO (novel & Lloyd-Webber's stage prod), R!TGO, Pride and Prejudice, Coraline, BTVS, ASOUE novels & fab Neatflox adaptation; ScoobyDoo tv series & films. The list continues.

Novels: too many I'm a book enthusiast. But I dislike most Harlequin-genre novels and sensationalist literature

-Studio Ghibli films

-Anime & manga: Fruits Basket, InuYasha, Samurai Champloo, Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit, Haruka: Tale of Eight Guardians/Harukanaru, OHSHC, Cowboy Bebop, Princess Jellyfish, Kamisama Kiss, Kiddy Grade, Blood, Ghost Hunt, Dance With Devils, Blue Excorcist, Food Wars, Seven Deadly Sins, Psycho-Pass, Mushishi, Vampire Hunter D, Little Witch Academia, Castlevania...the Nortflox version is pretty well done, MAGI: LOM & KOM, Trinity-Blood, Lupin III (tv series), Kakuriyo Bed and Breakfast for Spirits, others.

-fandoms I enjoy, but I have issues with:

APH-Hetalia...yes, I'm one of the last long-term fans left. [If you like non-traditional & niche-audience APH/Hetalia works, I urge you to visit my dA & look at my older fics, I'm still proud of them!]

Kuroshitsuji/BB, Queensblade, Naruto, Bleach, DragonBall, Pokemon, YuGiOh, JoJos bizarre Adventure

-fandoms and works I avoid :

draMMatical Murder, killingstalking, Homestuck, Role-play fics, Team Making works, real people or real event fanfics (yes, they exist)

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

~More about me:

I have been reading fanfictions and fan-literatures since I was a young teen. I have written stories since I was an adolescent. My fan-lit career began as a young adult.

I am proud to say FFn is the place I have come back to, loved, and dedicated time to for so long that I was remiss for not having another domain to house my works.

I am still using my DeviantArt acct, however I want to place and continue my fics here. dA has in the last few years become Fan-Lit hell! And I've left for reasons including but not limited to: terrible tech issues, fandom exodus, Artist discontinuations & abandoned fics, and personal problems with dA and my works.

I am BeigeCascade on DeviantArt.
