Finally decided my old bio was way too much. And wow, yes it was. Last updated 2015 for God's sake.

My pen name is actually the name of a character that has been with me since I was in elementary school. She's gone through many different fandoms and backstories, but has more or less retained the same personality all these years. She is, however, an unapologetic fanfiction OC, and is currently going through a major revision so her story can (hopefully) be published in a respectable manner. And without me getting sued. Or becoming the next EL James. She will not be featured in my stories unless she made an appearance in Lightning and I've forgotten about it. In which case, she will be promptly edited out if I find it. (Currently planning to get back to writing that monster. Pray for me.)

I'm almost old enough to legally drink while I'm writing this, and life has been kicking me in the gut for years now. Case in point, I appear to have the same work schedule as the honorable JonTron. ... And I am sorry. But I digress. I've managed to catch a break. We'll see if it lasts long enough for me to write at least one chapter for Lightning.

I've only got 3 fanfictions under my belt, and 2 of those aren't anywhere near finished. If you've checked out any of my other ones, you'll find them deleted by the time this goes up. Sorry if you actually liked them, but they're absolute garbage and I'm going to pretend they never existed. Alien's staying up because even if it's a dumpster fire, it was my first fanfiction, and I'd rather keep that milestone around.

I'm American, way too stubborn, and I've been told multiple times that I could never offend anyone. Which is really weird, because I'm actually a bit of an asshole deep down. Can't remember if fanfiction has a censorship policy so hopefully the word asshole is still kosher. I had a bit of a weeb phase middle school to freshman year, so if I ever/have ever PMed someone on fanfiction.net, you'll get a cringy "arigato gozaimasu for--" sign off. Maybe it's somewhere in my old writing too, I don't know. I should stop doing it now that I'm all "mature." It's just kinda fun to still write like that sometimes.

And that's pretty much all that's needed, I think. Best of luck to y'all.
