(edit 9-21-18) Updating things again, I have mostly moved over to Space battles and Sufficient Velocity, but I still check back in from time to time. and it felt like a good time for an update. not much has changed here, I still volunteer (humane society most recently), and that's about it really.

well, i kinda stole this idea from IP82, but i figured I might as well tell you how I came across fanfiction, its an intresting story. Well, I was at barns and noble several years back, just minding my own buisness, when I came across an anime box set that I had never heard of before, it was called Ranma 1/2 (still my favorite), I read the back, thought it was a very unique concept, and decided to give it a try. I didn't have any money of course, so I went home and did some reasearch. after about a week of reasearch, i came across a site, (Tannims bridge to everything, I believe it was called), and was hooked. it actually took me about a month after that to find ff.net, during which i found countless other small archives, read anything that sounded interesting, and moved on to the next (usually through links), anyway, when i found ff.net, it was like stumbling on the holy grail. I LOVE reading, I love books, poems, short story's, drama, horror, action, you name it, the problem is, im pretty much always broke. i cant afford to buy books with the rate I read, and I had long ago exhausted the libraries near my home (and the three nearest cites). so it was like a match made in heaven. all the books I could possibly want, for free. sure, not all of it was good, but id bought junk books before, and sifting through the rubbish sometimes got me a laugh on its own. about a month after I subscribed to ff.net, I actually bought the Ranma one half box set, digital dojo if im not mistaken. about two months after that, I splurged again and bought the WHOLE SERIES, Ova and all (great deal through Ebay, paid about as much for them as I did the first season at B&N. so now, I spend a good 4 hours a day on this site (or SB or SN), and while I long ago ran out of Ranma (i believe i mentioned that, repeatedly), I still find plenty to read in the other catagorys. well thats it for me today, ciao
