Bio

she/her.

when it comes to reading and writing, i love:

  • AUs, what-ifs, and what-could've-beens, especially when taken seriously and gamed out.
  • slice of life as a genre, especially when exploring daily life, small moments, and normalcies of worlds very different from our own.
  • stories that balance and intertwine character development with plot movement.
  • an expansive idea of what constitutes a character. settings and surroundings, someone's absence...
  • playing around with formats and norms.
  • vignettes, literary sketches, the entire concept of a short story cycle, and a good oneshot.
  • femslash, above all else.

my fandom epochs: Ace Attorney (original trilogy with a dash of AA4), Portal, Fallout, Saints Row, Overwatch, Stardew Valley. i read widely outside of them, though—see my bookmarks. i have a stable of WIPs from a variety of fandoms, too.

my multi-chapter stories are never abandoned, even if i haven't updated for years. (HSHW, this Bud's for you.)

if you want to do anything with any of my works, posted here or elsewhere, please:

  • keep it far away from any sort of AI-related anything. no using it to train, no using it to make a prompt of any sort, nothing.
  • link back to the original fic for credit, either in your notes or, if posting on AO3, through the "Inspired by" function.
  • fanbinders: i'm fascinated by this practice and would love to see my work bound! that being said, i'm hesitant to have my work printed at a third party shop. let's talk about it first.
  • send me a link to whatever you make, so i can check it out and share it!

look here for other places i'm at.
