The lines are all messed up again. I don't have time to go through and play with line breaks YET AGAIN, so I apologize for the seemingly abrupt scene changes in a lot of my stories.

If you are looking at the newer stories and wondering what the little -o- symbol is, it's something to hopefully act as a scene divider in case the lines screw up yet again.

I'm a married early thirty-something woman living in the Northeastern Ohio area. I've been an anime / manga fan for fifteen years and I've been writing fanfic for fourteen. I also play a lot of video games, run dirty fanfiction panels at anime cons, cosplay weird things, and take care of a cat, a husband and whatever video game raising / breeding sim has taken my fancy lately. I work on and off as a temp and I also volunteer at a local zoo.

My husband is Ryan Mathews, who was the first to post anime fanfiction on the Internet, way back in 1992. He also used to write for Last Exit and Anime News Network (I was his assistant on both.)

Most of what I write is silly, philosophical, sad, or lemony. My favorite series are Cowboy Bebop, Slayers, Soul Eater, Fullmetal Alchemist, Planetes and a few others. My biggest influences are Andre Norton, Terry Pratchett and Rumiko Takahashi. Generally I prefer canon couples, Lina x Gourry, Yuna x Tidus, Soul x Maka, Van x Hitomi, Ranma x Akane, Haruhi x Tamaki, Ed x Winry, Roy x Riza, and Sano x Mizuki (Hanakimi) being favorites.

I love Riza Hawkeye so much though that I'm more than willing to read any well written pairing / threesome / foursome with her in it. In that vein I also like Havocai, and Ed/Riza if it's written well.

I like challenging myself, so you'll find that I write weird inexplicable couples and a wide variety of situations or types of fanfic as a result. I often write more adult-oriented things that can't go on this site. You can find those stories on the appropriate LJ communites or at adultfanfiction dot net under this same name.

I also have a blue hat. I like my hat. It is a good hat.
