Author has written 2 stories for Naruto, and Star Wars.

Welcome to my inkblotted writer's den! You can find me here (clearly) or on AO3, also as Octoblink. Usually I post there first and then mirror here. I also occasionally drop by my tumblr (deswrites) to enthuse about amphibians and fandom.

If you read my stories, thanks. If you read and review, double thanks and a cookie. If you've got something to say, I answer PMs. If you're looking for something new to read, check out the rad authors in my favorites tab. If you're just passing through (what are you doing here?), carry on.

A Note: Thank you to everyone who has left a review or favorited Past, Imperfect. It's still happening. I swear.

Another Note: Longtime readers will observe a username change. Sorry if that screwed with any links; it was an unfortunate necessity which I don't anticipate recurring.
