Author has written 2 stories for Warcraft, and Mass Effect.

Why hello. Welcome to a little corner of my little corner of the internet!

About me: Former WoW addict (6 years clean), who has now turned their attention to SWTOR. Still a pretty avid gamer, however, when life gives me some downtime. Normally I go for the 1st/3rd person shooters in addition to RPG's, though I have been known to play the occasional RTS from time to time.

I've been into Star Wars since I could walk, and for the life of me, can't shake my love with that universe. Not like I'm trying, of course. J.J. Abrams, you better not disappoint! Else you gonna get cut!

When I'm not gaming, you can typically find me on my bicycle. In addition to having a full time job, I'm also a competitive cyclist, who keeps a blog, plays a variety of games, and writes other things in his spare time. It makes me sound busier than I really am.

Honestly, it's been something like 5 years since I wrote anything of substance, fanfic-wise. But that's something that I'm working on changing. Because of my own busy schedule, I can't write as often as I'd like. But I do what I can.

If you're ever on reddit, look me up in either the SWTOR, MECoOp, masseffectfics, or just MassEffect subreddits. I am always willing to chat!

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm sure that there's something I need to do that I'm forgetting. Is it ride my bike? Write some of my fic? Am I missing a blog post? Hmmm...

Currently working on:

Conversion: a post-ME3 fanfiction, featuring everyone's favorite Spectre, and his genetically perfect girlfriend. Things happen. Twists, turns, comedy, etc. I'm a bit of a slower writer, but a new chapter every 30 days is about par for the course. Sorry guys! I want to make sure it just feels "right" before I push it out. Thanks to yssssw for always kicking my butt into gear, and helping me piece this epic together! I'd also like to thank DA user Skllhrt for letting me use their image for the story cover. Go check out their stuff here, and give it some love!

Something new: no, that's not the title. In my free time, I am working on a new little side project, yet to be named or announced.
