Well, let's see. I'm 27 years old, have a bachelor's degree in English, and still somehow I don't really have a definite career goal. Pretty sad, right? Oh well.

The only thing I do know for certain is that I love to write. Although being a novelist alone is somewhat unrealistic in today's world, whatever I end up doing I'll still want to write on the side. My great love is fantasy, especially adventure fantasy, so any novel I write will assuredly be of that genre.

I haven't given up on fanfic writing entirely, but finding time to do it has gotten increasingly more difficult. But, we'll see what happens. It's unlikely my Digimon story Chasing Shadows will ever be finished (it's just been way too long since I started it), but I always have far more ideas floating around in my head than I know what to do with, so maybe at some point I'll actually write one down.

Hobbies include, well, video games, anime, and manga. Reading and writing too, of course. Japanese language and culture interest me, as does astronomy (not astrology, thank you), psychology, archaeology, politics, sociology, art, music...okay, just about anything, really. (Anyone beginning to see why I can't focus on a single career plan yet...?) I also love animals and nature; especially cats (wild or domestic, either way). And I collect stuffed animals. Come on, stop laughing. I'm a sucker for cute things, okay?

My icon pic, by the way, is Taichi from Digimon 02. It was such a cute pic I just couldn't resist.

Latest News: (5/24/09)

Work on the new Digimon fic idea is progressing very well. My co-author and I are still in the planning stages (and let me tell you, it's going to be quite the epic!), but I think we're very close to being able to start writing. We're both very detail-oriented people, and we want to make sure we have everything accounted for.

Older News: (3/5/09)

Lately my Digimon craze has kicked back in. It's always been an old favorite; one of my first. So I decided to pick up an older story idea that I began, oh, five years ago. (Not Chasing Shadows, this is something different.) It needs a bit of an overhaul but I think there's a lot of good material there. And this time I've convinced my best friend Anni-chan to be my co-author! We come up with all kinds of devious things together. Heheh. And we can help keep each other on track. I'm really excited about this idea, so I think I'll actually produce something this time. XD

Fic Ideas/Works in Progress:

New: (Untitled) - A new Digimon fic. AU. Summary forthcoming.

Cross Currents - This will be a (probably lengthy) multi-chapter crossover between Suikoden II and Legend of Zelda. Bizarre and unlikely combination, you say? But is it really? You'll just have to wait and see. I've already written the first chapter of this, but I'm waiting to put it up until I have a little bit more. I actually have a very in-depth storyline worked out, but there are still some rather significant pieces missing that I need to figure out before I can go very far.

There are also a few ideas for a couple Danny Phantom and Weiss Kreuz fics floating around up there, but I'm putting them on hold for now.

For the curious, here's a list of my top favs:

Anime: Digimon (01 and 02 mostly), Fullmetal Alchemist, Star Ocean EX, Samurai 7

Games: Suikoden (any of them, but especially II and V), Kingdom Hearts (I and II), Legend of Zelda (all the later games), Final Fantasy (especially VII and XII), Star Ocean 3

Movies: Over the Hedge, Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Harry Potter (all but especially the fifth)

Books: Harry Potter, the Shannara series by Terry Brooks

Manga: Suikoden III, Kingdom Hearts, Legend of Zelda, +Anima, Elemental Gelade

Cartoons: Avatar: The Last Airbender, Danny Phantom

Characters: Riou (Suikoden II), Taichi (Digimon 01/02), Sasarai (Suikoden III), Link (Legend of Zelda, any), Sora (Kingdom Hearts), Ed (Fullmetal Alchemist), Claude (Star Ocean EX), Danny (Danny Phantom), Aang (Avatar: The Last Airbender), RJ (Over the Hedge), Main Character from Suikoden V (he doesn't have an official name, to my knowledge)...why, yes, I do have a thing for leader/hero type characters. Funny you should ask.
