Author has written 4 stories for Hetalia - Axis Powers.

Hello.

I am persnickety when it comes to my own writing and the quality of others. I will write things that will make you uncomfortable. I write will post-modern stories. I will write magical realism. I will write painfully indulgent historical pieces.

Please, by all means, ask questions and leave reviews. Just know that I will not spoon feed you if you don't understand something: contemporary writing does not fill in all the gaps in every piece, children.
