Greetings! I am simple worker man from Russia, good family man, any moneys are appreciated.

Nah, just kidding. I'm an American college student living in Colorado. I love writing, have since about fifth grade, and creative writing is my favorite. In case you couldn't tell from my avatar, I absolutely love Tali, and she's involved in, if not at the center of, basically everything I write for this site. Writing is a passion of mine, and I hope to develop my skills with feedback from the readers here. I've been deeply involved in my Mass Effect story, but plan to branch out to Dragon Age at some undecided point in the future. Enjoy the reading!

A message about In Love and War:

I've seriously considered going back to write the first four to eight chapters in my fic, but upon investigating, I've actually found my growth pattern for writing fanfics is traceable by every eight chapters. The first eight are me trying new things, getting my bearings, etc. The next eight are my own straight up Tali love. The next eight are probably the zenith of making it my own, where I change the ending and set up where I'm going to be going. The next eight I dabble in putting in more meanings, the most obvious one probably being the prolonged poke at people who have obsessions over celebrities. And I can already feel myself delving into deeper issues with this next set (chapter 37, anyone?). Not a hard fast rule, I throw in Tali love still (29) and try new things occasionally (35), but the general trend and progression is definitely there. Anyway, just something I found interesting, and what caused me to decide against reworking my first set of chapters, even if I lose a bit of readership.

But it's to the readers who stuck with me, and more specifically those who gave insightful reviews, that I want to thank most. You guys are an inspiration, one of the main drives for me to write, and a source of both entertainment and constructive criticism that I couldn't have gotten started without. Thank you!

Life's been keeping me busy, so updates to come when I can.
