ATTENTION! ATTENTION! I'M CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR AN AUTHOR WHO WENT BY THE NAME CLENATO ON QUIZZILLA! If anyone happens to know this person or, even better, is this person, then please PM me. I would like to adopt one of their old stories. Thank you! On to your regularly scheduled profile page.

Me:

Don't really like talking about myself, actually. I'm a writer, reader, daughter, corset-wearer, witch, fangirl, and friend. I write because I enjoy it and not for any other reason. People either love me or hate me, and I'm completely fine with that. I'm a bit of a spazz at times, but...what ever works, you know? I'm also usually very busy.

I reply to every review I receive. Please review my work and tell me what you think.

I do not abandon stories and leave them on my profile. If there has not been a new post in a long time then it's on hiatus. If I abandon a story, it is deleted from the site. Please don't assume a story is abandoned. If you want an update for something, please PM me. Most likely, I've put it on hiatus because my desire to write it has died from readers' lack of interest in the story.

What I write: Anything, really. :/ I'm not fussy. If I get a plot bunny, no matter the genre/fandom, then watch out world! :D I'll also write things on request. Please don't hesitate to send me a request.

My writing style: I've been told by numerous people that I write with an odd mix of American and British English as well as colloquialisms. From what I know, it's true. My style in general differs from fandom to fandom--formal and flowery in some to ultra-logical and to the point in others--but I tend to be very sarcastic and dry (humor-wise) in everything I write. Likewise, all my writing, with the exception of a few crack fics, tends to be very dark and/or creepy. Oh my.

Note about my writing: I'm tired of answering this in PMs and in author's notes, so I want to say this here. Characters that are traditionally portrayed as completely evil or psychotic will not be portrayed like that in my writing except in very rare circumstances. It's of my opinion that it's just an excuse when someone labels a character as "psycho" or "evil" and then makes no attempt to dig beneath the surface. I feel it's disrespectful to both the character and their creator and I wholly believe that a character can be "disturbed" or "twisted" without fitting a clichéd, stereotyped image of a "villain". That said, in some crack fics, I may caricature them. But it'll be very, very rare.

Additional Note about my writing: I will not write noncon/dubcon. STOP ASKING.

Stories in Progress

Death Note:

Drabbles of Doom! (K Rated) -- "Actually, that title is a misnomer," L remarked casually around a bite of cake. "They're more like vignettes or short stories." Not ten seconds later, a bang echoed through the room as his writer introduced her head to her desk and tried not to scream. (DN one shot dump.)

Devil May Cry:

Rebellion (T Rated)(Adventure/Drama) -- No one thought it would come to this, but horrific things have innocent beginnings. Fear gives way to fight; torment into rebellion. And where there are devils, well...there are always devil hunters. (AU; rating may go up in later chapters)(Hiatus for technical difficulties.)

Dante Dreaming (K Rated)(Humor/Family) -- Dante's having weird, sugar induced dreams. Vergil thinks he'd really be better off not knowing about them. Too bad Dante's not giving him a choice. AU, of sorts.

Fable:

Shattered Memories (T Rated) -- Prequel to A Marriage of Inconvenience. Years pass, people change. A gypsy can become a king. A young boy can become a tyrant. And a princess can become a Hero. But, through it all, they were a family. If only it had lasted forever.

Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler):

Viral (T Rated)(Mystery/Superatural) -- "I’ve been thinking about you all night, Sebastian darling, but I never imagined we would be working in the same area tonight! I am just thrilled to death. You see, an awful lot of souls on the To Die list have been vanishing lately. I wonder…you aren’t being naughty now, are you…sweet Bassy?" (Hiatus for technical difficulties.)

Upcoming stories

Darkside:

Bloodwrit (T/M Rated)(Drama/Mystery) -- Summary to follow.

Death Note:

Switched II: Metamorphosis (T Rated)(Mystery/Action) -- It's taken L eighteen months to get back to how things were before the kidnapping, but B isn't done with him yet. Letters are dying or mysteriously vanishing and, if L wants to put a stop to it, there's only one person who knows who's next. But is trusting Beyond too big of a leap of faith to take?

Fable:

Blackout (M Rated)(Drama/Adventure) -- Sequel to A Marriage of Inconvenience. Seven years after her supposed defeat of the Crawler, Victoria has grown rather weary of being a monarch. Unfortunately, answering a distress call from a fellow Hero might just be enough to upset her overly-peaceful life and send her right into the heart of darkness: the Spire and, from there, quite possibly the Void. Reaver just wishes Victoria would stop dragging him into all her problems. (Shattered Albion Book 3) COMING VERY, VERY SOON.

The Black Court (M Rated)(Drama/Adventure) -- Sequel to Blackout. Synopsis to follow Blackout's completion. (Shattered Albion Book 4)

Nevermore (T/M Rated) -- All darkness has its beginnings. The Shadow Court is no different; after all, those who suffer must bring it upon themselves.

Black As Night (M Rated)(Adventure/Supernatural) -- The evil High Queen of Albion comes across a prophecy foretelling one who is fairer than she, and thus begins a quest searching for them. But when she and her "Snow White" turn out to be more similar than she anticipated, will she turn them to her side, or will the Huntsman be off with the Chosen One's head? (Snow White retelling/AU Reaver origin story)

The Prisoner (T Rated) -- For as long as anyone can remember, there's been a prisoner in the dungeons beneath the castle. Some say he's a legend created to inspire fear and order, but those who've met him know the truth: he's very real and he's most unwilling to sit quietly any longer. DELETED FROM PROFILE. Will be back up when I know what the hell I'm doing with it.

241a. (T Rated)(Horror) -- Summary to come. Basically: gothic horror with lots of twisties.
