Okay so some tings that you need to know about me.

I am a 40 something year old Englishman with manic depression (bipolar) and a passion for reading which I indulge at every opportunity although I have recently developed a strange fascination with Anime which has started to eat away at my time with the books. A new thing for me, however, is a frankly worrying desire to start writing down some of the stories that charge through my brain on the hour long walks to and from work so I have decided that I am going to do that here in a safe, anonymous and from what I've seen so far mostly friendly atmosphere.

Fluffy and fun is what I do (I am secretly a terrible romantic) though that might be a reaction to my past experiences with alcoholism and depression. What I'm saying is the dark stories are there I'm just not sure whether letting them come out is good idea. And yet when the dark times come and I simply can't bring myself to write the usual fluff then it is precisely these dark tales that I turn to as writing has become an essential part of my self imposed 'therapy'. It's considerably cheaper and more effective than the numbing and disorienting medication regimes that I have sometimes been subjected to. Basically if you see any story of mine with an M rating that doesn't involve my darling Alice Black then tread very carefully.

A note on femslash

So you may have noticed that all my stories are yuri/femslash. To set the record straight, I write femslash because I honestly don't understand what on earth girls find so attractive about great lumping, hairy, uncouth individuals like us. Especially as teenagers. I shudder when I think about what I was like in my own half remembered teenage years. I don't know about you people but if I were a teenage girl with the choice and opportunity it would be romantic, sweet smelling, soft and squishy girls all the way for me. So I write romance between two girls because it's easier for me to understand than romance between a boy and a girl. These are my issues and you are not required to agree with them. If you enjoy these stories because they are good stories then that is more than enough for me.

A note on Story progression.

Here's the deal;

I write what I write, when I write it and no amount of threats or puppy eyed pouting is going to change that.

That being said, I know how crap I've been and am working hard to get on top of things. In order to do that I have decided to work on ONE story at a time and get some stuff actually finished. Here's my tentative order on how that's going to go;

1. Fallen Angel.

2. Fortunate Son.

3. Tale of two Lillies.

4. Season of the witch.

5. Excellent Adventure.

You will notice that these seem to be in ascending order of difficulty and you would be right. I need to get back into my groove before I attempt the more challenging stuff.

Also there will be some things that I have accepted will probably never be finished and they will be moved to an 'up for adoption' folder. If that includes one of your favourites then I'm sorry about but feel free to hit the keyboard and keep them going yourself. All drafts and notes on those will be made available to anyone wanting to do that.

Lastly;

Relax. This is supposed to be fun. For everybody.
