About me:

I am somewhere around 30 yrs old. I live somewhere around the middle of the USA. I have kids. I have a zoo with all the plants & animals we have. The squeak of the hamster wheel is my constant companion. I play AAO - America's Army Online. I am currently an admin for ACE there, although I don't know how much admin type stuff I actually do. :P I am also working on my 3rd belt in Kyuki Do.

Why the name Tsukashi? It is a combo of 2 of my favorite characters. (Tsu)kasa from .hack & Ka(kashi) from Naruto. I wanted an original name. I searched online and didn't come up with anyone else with that online name. So the alias Tsukashi was born.

I have had people asking about my next updates: I am not as fast as a lot of the other authors out there. I try to always present my work the best as possible, which is part of the reason. I also enjoy watching anime, reading manga, reading fanfiction, chatting with my friends online, talking on the phone, spending time with my family, and a lot of various other activities. Hence, I don't write everyday. Hell, I don't write every week, so I make no promises about when I will update.

My current projects:

I am currently working on one of my 18+ fic's called As the World Falls Down. When will I begin work on Hiasobi again? I dunno. Currently ATWFD has sparked my interest for the first time in nearly 2 years, so I will go with it.

My more mature works can be found on .

I am fully aware of the theft of my story: Itachi's Present. It is frustrating, to say the least that it hasn't been removed in over 6 months now. I've lodged many complaints, as have many of my peers, but to no avail. It is my belief that the nasty flames scared the thief off. If you have read the story here, you read the stolen version. I NEVER post my lemons here - my 12 yr old reads stuff on this site. If you by chance favorited the story and/or the offending author, I urge you to remove them from your favorites. The only way I can see to shut it down is to boycott it since the mods here are doing nothing about it.

My fandoms/interests:

My favorite pairing for the past several years is Ita/Saku, from the series Naruto, although any well written het pairing appeals to me, especially with a strong female lead. I used be to largely into InuYasha, but lost interest with the way the series ended some time ago. I also enjoy Bleach, Berserk, Samurai Deeper Kyo, Mayu Shinjo manga in general, Blood, and a wide variety of shoujo series.

Shameless pimping:

Come join my forums ItaSakuAuthorsUnite, you don't have to be an author, fans of this pairing are welcome.

I've also started an Ita/Saku C2. If you want to be staff, PM me, it has been sadly neglected during my hiatus, & I don't know if I'll ever catch up on that project.
