Hi, I'm Ducky.

The only thing anybody really needs to know about me is that I have a somewhat odd sense of humour. It is very, very rare for me to be completely serious.

If you'd like to know more about me, here's some less relevant information: I'm a rather bizarre person. I'm horrible with people and social situations, I love philosophy and thinking in general, I read for three reasons (new ways of thinking, humour, and a love for the well-turned phrase), I write for three reasons (all of them involving cake, in one way or another), and I have a a bad habit involving the unwarranted abuse of parentheses.

My writing style, according to the site I Write Like, is most similar to that of HP Lovecraft. You have been warned.

While on this site, I will write stories (hopefully), take requests (some), and beta (occasionally).

Something on which I have a rather strong opinion: every person in the world who writes in English should read this book. In roughly 100 pages it contains the most comprehensive writing guide I have ever seen. It is fantastic.

Also: don't talk to me about religion. I have problems.

If there's anything you want to know, anything you'd like help to write, or anything you'd like to see written, it couldn't hurt to ask; I can't bite you from here and I'm generally polite, so the worst that'll happen is that I'll forget to respond.

Enjoy your life,
Ducky.

BLANKET DISCLAIMER: I own several imaginary worlds; the inhabitants of said imaginary worlds; several imaginary friends (though in some of those cases, the question of ownership is a tad complicated); several masterpieces-in-progress; the characters of said masterpieces; exactly one (1) version of Ducky (that is, myself) for each of my worlds, masterpieces-in-progress, and fandoms (though the fandoms, of course, do not belong to me, they are only 'mine' in the sense that I participate in them), which exist for the purposes of my own entertainment and the occasional insertion into... things; a rather impressive collection of books; a library card; a computer (though the internet connection is [technically] not mine); lots of paper in varying states of blankness; and a pair of headphones. In the rather likely event that I forget to disclaim ownership in anything I post, anybody who cares would do well to keep in mind that, as of now, I have not published anything and hold no copyrights, and therefore am highly unlikely to be the author, creator, copyright holder, or in any way affiliated with the works about which I may or may not write while on this site... though in the unlikely event that this changes, we'll pretend that nothing's happened, hm?
