Fiction Info

I've been writing fanfiction and fiction for nine years and slash for five years now. Most of the slash I write is originals, but I do have some fanfiction too. If you want to distribute any of my work, that's fine, just tell me. The originals are all my characters, ideas, situations, etc. No not steal! Fanfiction, however, means I'm writing a work about other poeple's characters, situations, etc and I do not claim ownership. Anyway...

About the fanfiction I write and read...well, there's a lot of it. I slash pretty much anything and everything. The fandoms and pairings I read/write are Heroes (Mohinder/Sylar, Peter/Nathan), Lost (Jack/Sawyer, Sayid/Sawyer), Harry Potter (Ron/Draco, Harry/Draco, Lucius/Percy), Buffy the Vapire Slayer (Xander/Spike, Giles/Spike), The Dresden Files (Bob/Harry), Star Trek Voyager (Paris/Chakotay), Stargate Atlantis (Sheppard/Mckay, Sheppard/Mckay/Beckett), and Eureka (Jack/Nathan).

What about all those worlds on the homepage? Well, Tanath is my original fantasy world and it involves all stories which center around vampires, "ishens", the Sphyrus family, assassins, etc. As far as science fiction goes, all my scifi is based in the universe of Phaica. Also, any of my stories set in the real-world are based in an entirely fictionally town called Lienburg, placed somewhere in the midwest United States. What to learn more? I'll be setting up pages for each universe soon!

Art Info

My artwork is not yet up on the site, but I plan to set aside a page especially for it. As much as I would adore being an amazing artist, I can't say that I can claim that title. Most (if not all) of the artwork I'll put up will be icons, made 100 x 100 pixels (appropriate for Livejournal). I may put up some 50 x 50 as well, for DeviantArt. Any artwork that is not icons, will proabably be maps of my fiction/sci-fi worlds as well as simple depictions of the tattoos that mark certain social ranks. Any original artwork is mine, don't steal! As far as icons go, you can pretty much bet that they're fanart, which means I do not own the characters, series, etc. However, if you'd like to use one of my icons, feel free to, just make sure to credit me somewhere (such as in a link section, or on your userpage, or in the icons description). And no hotlinking! If you want the image, please download it to your computer.
