Since some flurking piece of crap, parasitic net troll decided to junk everything on my profile page in their attempts to bot storm FFN, I guess I should put something back here so this space doesn't look as empty as the troll's head.

Okay, once more from the top...

Greeting from the Great White North.

This Horseman is not as kind and gentle as he once was, life will do that to you. Writing, along with my collection of anime, is something that helps me keep what little sanity I may have left. It is my relief valve and a way to escape from things for however long I am at the keyboard hammering away.

I don't plan out my stories. I don't do outlines or breakdowns to chart where it's going and how it's going to get there. I rarely even take notes to keep track of bits and pieces. I have an idea or a concept pop into my head and away I go. I trust in 'the flow' to take me and the story where it needs to go.

I don't take requests. I have little enough time to spend on my own stories let alone having time to write one for someone else.

I have a low tolerance for idiots and fools, so much so that I will be more likely to erase the comments of such rather than waste time trying to respond. Flamers, trolls etc...don't waste your time and be glad that I choose to mostly ignore you. You wouldn't like the public humiliation of my responses.

When it comes to reviews, like any author, I love to seem them. Sadly, in the time I've been on this site the reviews have gone from actually having something to say to being a quick one liner or a few words. While the interest is appreciated, the content these days seldom does much to help an author improve.

Oh, and if you are going to ask me a question and expect and answer to it...you might want to log in and leave a signed review so that I have a link to reply to.

As far as giving reviews...I don't do a lot of that anymore. Had a less than pleasant experience with a couple of authors who claimed to be glad to get the constructive criticism and comments about their stories, only to have their responses sound like they were rolling their eyes at me...and then in the next chapter or two they would implement exactly what I had suggested. That pretty much soured me on giving reviews. I will still do it from time to time but I'm pretty picky about who, where, and when now.

09/02/19: Chapter 12 is up.

09/03/19: I don't seem to have anything in mind yet as to how I want to do Chapter 13, so in the mean time I have started work on another "Encounter" one shot. When something comes to me for how to go about Chapter 13 of ACE, I'll get back to that.
