Author has written 1 story for Mass Effect.

I'm an obsessive gamer, and I love 98% of the Mass Effect franchise with the entirety of my being, the other two percent consisting of Jacob Taylor and the endings of ME3. I really liked DA as well, and enjoyed DA2 (mostly Fenris, though), even if it wasn't as good as the first one. As for other things, I'm a huge fan of Fullmetal Alchemist (manga and both animes), and as of a few days ago, when I watched the entire series in one go, Baccano!. Also, Kamina is my personal hero, and I'll watch anything if it has Todd Haberkorn and/or Chris Patton. Okay, this is starting to sound like a dating site profile, and I'm even creeping myself out.


I'll probably write mostly short, interconnected stories, emphasis on character interaction and dialogue, without much in the way of plot or arcs, since I don't really trust myself to write real stuff yet.
My favorite pairing of all-time, any fandom, anywhere, is Shenko. I also like Olivier/Miles for some unfathomable reason, Ling/Lan Fan, Firo/Ennis, and Claire/Chane.


Finally, I'm going by OxymoronicBeing because I couldn't think of a good name, and decided to name myself after the first TvTropes page that came up when I hit random. Thinking back on it, I really dodged a bullet. I could have been called "AwkwardlyPlacedBathtub" or "MurderWater." Actually, that last one would be pretty cool...


RIP Marauder Shields, My New Hero
