Savaehide bio
 Author has written 6 stories for Final Fantasy VIII. Hobbyist writer, coffee consumer, art maker, music investigator... 2014.02.01 Hello all, and happy 2014! It's been a productive start for me, writing-wise! The next chapter of Like Knives is coming along, and I am excited to share it with you all. I've also taken the time to add covers to my fics in order to help set the mood and make them stand apart from each other. For anyone who cares, I drew Squall as he appears in my brain while writing for Like Knives. The drawing appears in the new cover for the story, but I have a larger, more detailed view of him available on my DeviantArt page. Check him out here and let me know what you think! I've created a YouTube playlist of the songs that work as the soundtrack to Like Knives. I am a fairly musical person and find that songs really help me to capture a moment in writing. They really set the mood of the story. Here is the link: Like Knives Playlist Also, if you're interested, check out my artwork... I'm always concocting weird things, including the occasional fanart. |
