I am Iago. I like to write (prose and poetry) and read and mess with people's minds. I was born on April 26, and that number has decided to follow me around my entire life and creep the heck out of me. As for the name? Well, that's a bit of a story.

What else do you need to know about me? I'm a sarcastic smart-ass. I plan on getting myself published someday. Sleep is a good thing, though I never get enough of it. I am a female-presenting, androgynous, bisexual, libertarian, socialist storyteller, and I cannot stand bigotry. The only other thing I truly hate is the comma splice. I'm a college student studying English and theatre and working in--get this--my campus theatre. In a perfect world, I will be able to live off my writing, with time to spare for theatre, and my home will be in England with my two best friends and the zoo of animals we plan on adopting.

My thoughts on reviewing: Anything goes. You wanna flame? Go ahead and flame. You think I should do something? Suggest it; I swear I won't bite. You want to stay anonymous? I left Anon Comments enabled. My only thing is this: If you are going to remain anonymous, please do not ask questions. I respond to all my reviews, and I try to answer question, especially if someone brings up problems or is confused. However, if you are anonymous, I cannot answer these questions, and then I get all irritated because someone out there is confused and I must help them. But I can't. And then things don't end well.

Also, if you decide to flame, you can sign it. I'm not going to come to your profile and read all your stories and trash it all. I'll probably just come up with some smart comment that leaves you reeling.

Also, please remember that I am a wolf that meows like a cat and was named after a bird, and that I am not a furry, April. Trust me. It's a thing.

Good Quotes:

"Life is too short to go around recreationally hating things." -Cleolinda Jones

"We're all stories in the end." -The Eleventh Doctor

"There's nothing 'only' about being a girl." -Sarah Jane Smith

"Everyone has a God complex except me. 'Cause I am God." -Neenie the Sparkly

Also, babies, it's "must've", a contraction of "must have." It's not "must of." Think about it. Does that even make sense?

Turned Away By Shelllessturtle

I've worked up my courage and swallowed my pride;
I'm taking the telephone out for a ride.
With shaking fingers I punch in digits
The ringing sounds as I fidget.
Reasons not to flit through my head,
But I'd rather do this than end up dead.
Someone picks up and I tearfully tell
This horrible story I know so well.
The answer shocks me into silence;
There is no way to end this violence.
Seven years of sorrow and pain,
And now they're saying I have no claim?
I hang up the phone and start to cry.
Everything's over; I'm finished, aren't I?
There's no one to turn to in this cold world
Just because my partner's another girl.
