Seventeen years wise, it's sad how it feels like I have so many simple answers the world just either can't figure out or chooses to ignore out of the lust for power. Funny how 16 was such a change but 17 seems like nothing.

I'm still preparing for both college and my soon to start senior year. With high hopes and expectations, I'll head ever forward towards software programming and corporate tech support. My mind is mushed and stressed about what will come. Go figure, a time where ideas are overflowing but I can't string more than a few sentences together on my own.

For my writing, all projects are for all intents and purposes on standby mode. Plenty of ideas, plots, schemes, and even sentences and paragraphs written, but it still all needs meshed together. For once, I'm actually trying to prepare for my future, which has put a lot of my favorite thing on low priority. I still try to check the site often, and slowly piece my ideas into presentable chapters, but it'll be real slow until who knows when. I'm not making excuses, it's just how it is.

If you see an OC of mine, be it in my own stories or in one of Anonymous Void's masterpieces, and desire to borrow them for a scene, chapter, or story, you just need to ask. Though I really appreciate any and all information about how my character will be used before granting permission, and I especially appreciate a mention of who the character belongs to the first time they appear. I'm also willing to send information profiles on them if you feel you need more then what has so far been shown in the story. Yes, they are fleshed out further than just what one story shows, they are designed to be complete and adaptable to any idea.

If you are inspired by a fic of mine, the same general thing applies. If your inspiration sparks a very similar story, or fanfiction fan side story (Fanfictionfiction?) then just ask, and leave credit where credit is due. Know that I'd do the same with switched roles, it's the right thing to do.

Music wise, I listen to a lot of rock and alternative rock, and a tiny bit of emo-screamo, and harder, edgier rock. Anything from Atreyu, BFMV, From Autumn to Ashes, to Coheed, a bit of Linkin park from time to time, Breaking Benjamin, Ten Years, to Audioslave/Soundgarden, Creed, and some J-rock/metal like Maximum the Hormone, Monoral (The band who performed the opening for Ergo Proxy, amazing alternative band!), Dio Distraught Overlord, and of course plenty more bands I don't feel like listing at the moment. (Can anybody say Evanescence?)

On political grounds, it's come to both parties in America being 85 percent the same shit, just in different piles. Elections are no longer for the best candidate, but the least horrid. Our economy is shaky, we're heading towards socialism, and it's disheartening. If I have to pick a side, I agree with more things the republicans claim to stand for than the democrats. All the same, if 85 percent is the same, 9-10 percent I am closer to agreeing with the republican side. Scary when with the party you would support, you only like one out of ten ideas from, isn't it?

Religion? Not really feeling it. Besides, who really cares about how we were created? If it was a higher being, they must be beyond such pettiness that they'd care whether or not we believed in them or spend so many hours kissing up to their holy asses in a church. Live well, and when you die it's either you're dead or you get rewarded in the afterlife for being a good person. I don't see the point in valuing such ancient history that is our creation. We are here, so let's take it and be grateful. And fearing what lies beyond our mortality is pointless, we cannot see beyond it and therefore have no surefire way to tell what's there or how to affect what awaits us. It's out of our hands, so we should merely drop it.

Back on useful info, I do beta reading for anyone who wants it, so long as I know the material and it isn't explicit yaoi for the sake of having two boys pretty much fuck for the fangirls dirty pleasure. On that matter, pretty much anything beyond hinted sex and somewhat graphic makeout scenes, and some minor foreplay, I shouldn't mess with. I have limited experience in writing such things, so seek someone more... sensually talented. Please don't just make couples for the sake of having to pretty people with either "perfect" or "tragic" lives, make some pairs that have a chance to work and are not inspired by pure fanspaz. Just send me a message with some basic info and I'll let you know if I'll take the job.

You honestly made it this far reading everything above? Congratulations, you really deserve a cookie for your attention. I thank you, and may the Muses bless you and through you spin tales unlike any heard by man before. Let the inspiration flow like the ocean waves, and bless us with the fruits of imagination, talent, and our desire to tell a tale to it's fullest. With that said, Archsage out, enjoy the stay!
