Hmmm. This is where I write about myself, correct? Okay...anime fan, a 30-year-plus SCA veteran, ferret and cat slave;. I used to write quite a bit of Dr. Who fanfic years ago, and got a fair amount published (before the era of internet); I fell out of the habit, but have started back again. Favorite anime: lots. Detective Conan, Ushio & Tora, Yu-Gi-Oh! (aaargh; so ashamed), Detective Academy Q, Saiyuki, Bleach, Naruto, Yami No Matsui and so forth. Love lots of manga like XXXHolic, too, and Mushishi; mmmmm. Am attempting to learn Japanese, gods help me. Can't draw to save my life (wish I could) and I tend towards humongous chapters; I do my best to keep my horrible Southern drawl from entering into my fanfics, but it keeps trying...

Favorite fic things: Writers who THINK before they write fanfics; fics with insight that make ME think; fics that are funny enough to make me snort whatever I'm drinking out my nose; and fics that take my mind places it hasn't been before. And a little romance is never out of place (or a lot of hot, steamy, where'd-my-clothes-go,-oh-never-mind, for that matter, so long as it's in-character). Have no problems whatsoever with yaoi, het or yuri, just with shota or real noncon. Let's be reasonable adults here, okay? It may be fiction, but it still has to live inside my head.

Major fic dislikes: Bad grammar (a total turnoff); bad plots that don't go anywhere; stupid, pointless I'm-just-writing-this-to-stroke-my-ego,-hey-ain't-I-great,-I'm-PUBLISHED! fics (you've all seen them... blaaaaaagh!); and most of all, plagiarism. Plagiarists should all die evil deaths involving red-hot pokers, lemon juice, badgers and body-piercing. They really should. And I'd heat up the pokers and find the badgers.

UPDATES:

1. Please do not ask me about Three Thieves. It's a thing of the past and that's that, which is sad; but shit happens, and what happened to me made me miserable every time I tried to write for freaking YEARS. If you liked Three Thieves, well, so did I; and I know where the blame lies in this one. The End.

2. Windfall is being updated, reworked and continued as of 12/01/21 and onwards; it's posted elsewhere (sitename: first word is archive, last word is ofourown) and the version of WF that's posted here will be taken down in on New Year's Day, 2022. Please, if you're reading it, go to the other location and read it there-- I'm making so many changes! SO MANY PLOTHOLES TO FIX! And oh gods, so much new material... plus two new side-stories that'll eventually see the light of day. What's posted here is NOT accurate.
