# About me
I have a slight fascination with names. As a writer, names can mean the difference between a decent story and an excellent one. They are incredibly important, but at the same time, they aren't that important at all. When I do name a character, it has to be perfect. I will spend hours searching through name dictionaries, language translators, and folklore to find something that suits both the personality and the lifestyle. Often, though, I prefer not to use names at all. They aren't all that necessary, many times. Especially with myself. My real name isn't important, and I'm not all that fond of it. But I molded my alias into something that matters to me.And that, right there, is the basic inner workings of my soul.
I like to think of myself as an artist. That doesn't necessarily mean that I'm any good. I enjoy sketching; I often spend days on end trying to get the curve of an eye to match the glint of a smile as the paper comes to life beneath my pencil. I don't have the technology to upload anything to the internet, though, so I try to make my mark through writing instead.
Writing is my passion. It has helped me survive the darkest parts of my life. I can do things with the written word that I can't when I speak, make myself understood, recognized. Appreciated. That's important. I'm not sure if I'm what you'd call a "good" writer yet, but I do hope to be one someday.
If you're interested, I also post my stories here:

Have you visited
It a new group I started, all lit contests. I just won third place in one of them I think you'd win some easy, but I know you're busy

Yeah, I did check it out, but I haven't had a chance to actually look at any of the contests yet. (I am pretty much swamped right now. I've got a commission, two giftfics - one of which is yours. Don't worry, I haven't forgotten, I promise - three people I'm beta-reading for, plus college and work and the theater I'm running lights and sound for a show opening up this weekend.....crazy shit, lemme tell you.) I'm flattered that you think I'd win, though. Once things calm down a bit, I'll definitely look into it!

Well...I know you're hella busy, but if I might suggest! As far as written works, do the commission first; you're being paid for that. You can give me my giftfic when I give you yours, which is months down the line.

If you say so...okay, then! I'm trying to juggle the commission and the beta reading at basically the same time (multiple windows open at once :shot since I'm already late with getting those back. Ugh. Me = procrastination. Sucks.

Thank you for being such a great artist! I'm totally stalking your doujinshi now, just so you know. Ungrateful Children is AWESOME on so many levels, and Feverish is one of my favorite fics of all time. You are brilliant, and I salute you.
