Would like to say that I've been writing Final Fantasy VII fan fiction since 2001... but I never posted on the web due to my desire to over-beta myself. Been an avid fan of Final Fantasy VII since 1998 though. I don't want a remake of the game, I love it in it's 1997's glory.

I would like to beta for other writers, but only with stuff I am familiar with. (IE: Gravitation, Gundam Wing, Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy VIII, FAKE, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, HALO. My world used to be bigger, then college and work took over and I lost interest in a lot of things. These managed to stick around! Yay!)

I don't mind harsh reviews. After all, if one can not handle it, one should not post! Am I right? ;-)

I like to create characters, and throw them into existing worlds. However - I do NOT like my created characters "hooking up" with the main character! (Except for in my Grand Theft Auto: Vice City fan fiction that I am working on... painful process! But, it was just *too* tempting. Ah, I think Mr. Vercetti has a soft spot there...)

I use a lot of description and very little dialogue in my fictions. Hope that's okay! But I really want the readers to vividly imagine the fictional world that they're in. I also like to describe characters deeply - I like it when the readers feel "connected" to the character.

Updates will be slow. I work a lot, and don't always have time. Retail kinda sucks energy out of you, heh.

And before anyone panics - I'm also nefarious-act-of-god.deviantart.com and I have a Y!Gallery - jparadox - not that my stuff's worth stealing... I'm not all that good as an artist.

--Lyrics That Fit Me--

"Anywhere I go, anything I try
Anyone I love is compromised.
Everyone I see, staring on back at me.
Why can't you let me be?
Ohh, I'm so far from home. Being shallow and alone.
And why can't you see, it's tearing away what I used to be?
I'm a shadow of a soul!
I don't know how to run, I don't know where to hide.
The old me is dead and gone inside.
What will you think of me?
When all that you'll ever see, is only a part of the other me?"
Shadow Of A Soul, Godsmack.
