About me:

I'm originally from the East Coast but now live in the Bay Area. I've been a fan of video games since the Sega Genesis (Sonic 4evah, yo). I got into the fanfic scene way back in 1998 after playing Resident Evil 2.

I'm currently working on an RE fic entitled "God's Child" and wrote a few other shorter fics for your reading pleasure. Please check it out and let me know what you think! Don't hesitate to DM me if you have detailed questions/comments.

Also, I'm working on my own fantasy novel. Like "The Evenarian" on Facebook for more info!

I've also been sucked into Tumblr. Follow me at http:// for my musings on fandom, video games, pop culture, politics and whatever else strikes my fancy.
