Hey guys!

I am a twenty two year old, living in Glasgow, Scotland and I am studying Professional writing skills at college. I used to write for the online magazine, Fortitude Magazine, and currently write for another magazine, Cultured Vultures. If you want to read some of the stuff I wrote for them, follow this link.

I mostly post RWBY fan fiction, but I dabble in other fandoms. Writing is a hobby/passion of mine which I wish to develop into a career in the future, and this website is a nice place to exercise my imagination and that hobby. I don't have a particular schedule when posting chapters to my own stories, especially with coursework. Feel free to drop a message whenever, I love talking to new people!

Also, with living costs, rent and studying, and with only a part time job, I am really struggling financially. So I have set up a patron account. If you would like me to do a story for you, please PM me for for more information. If you wish to donate, contact me.

Finally, I am always looking for new anime/films to watch, and games to play. So if you have a recommendation, please feel free to drop me a message.

READ THIS!!

"Lack of reviews is the greatest killer of fan fic writers out there. We at the institute wish to let the public know of how they can pitch in to save our dying writers.

1) Drop a review every other chapter. It may not seem like much, but reviews are actually what many of us want to see. That, and hits. Hits do make us happy but we don't really know if people like our story or not.

2) Visit our author page. Those kind of hits really make us happy. It's where we showcase our entourage of friends, beta readers, and stories. Some of us even tidy up with set areas for upcoming story ideas and character bios.

3) Send an email. While normally I'd perfer a review, emails are just as good. Really, it warms my heart to communicate with another reader or writer."

What you call being "too lazy to review" is what we call "a flame to the pages" as the writers. That one minute or two that you felt "too lazy" to review is another minute of creeping discouragement that all writers feel as they begin to think...

"Why am I even here…?"

"What's even the point of continuing?"

"My skills must be terrible…no one cares for my story…"

"I'll never be a good writer...I quit."

These are only a few thoughts that go through every writer's head- that go through MY head- when we put out a chapter / story with all our heart and soul within, and we sit there…and sit…and wait…and not a single person says even a word.

If you're not a writer, you have NO IDEA how much that hurts…

If you ARE a writer, then I'm sure you know just how great it feels when someone is kind enough to leave a heartwarming and encouraging review, and you read it, smiling while thinking…"Wow…I did it…"

So, why not give fellow writers the same luxury here?

Too many times I've seen epic and utterly beautiful works of literary art fall to pieces before finally being abandoned due to the terrible discouragement that the lack of reviews can cause.

Sometimes, it is so severe that the very writer himself decides to quit, denying the world his or her skills of writing that I'm it would have deeply enjoyed.

So…

Just one minute, that's all it takes. Just a few gentle taps of the fingers on your keyboard, a few seconds or so of your time, and your words can SAVE a writer from a dark demise.

Do me a favor: Go find a story, ANY story, anywhere here on Fanfic.net, and see if you can help it. If it has very little / no reviews at all, just check it out, and say whatever comes to mind.

And enjoy the thought in mind that you could have just SAVED that story, with just a few taps of the keyboard… COPY AND PASTE THIS TO YOUR PROFILE IF YOU AGREE!
