I've always been a voracious reader, I was that one kid who read every single Hardy Boys book in the library.

Stories. Could never get enough.

I've munched my way through the Mortal Engines quartet, seen gods and mortals through the Stargate, nibbled at A Song of Ice and Fire, watched drama unfold aboard a Firefly-class freighter, followed the Destroyermen through the Squall, soared with Silverwing, watched The Change take the Emberverse, seen the wonders of the Cosmere, and of course been through Hell's Gate.

I wound up trying a certain Fallout crossover on recommendation from TvTropes, and things precipitated from there! Fallout: Equestria sucked me in, and since then I've been reading MLP-fic with all the old gusto.

This, however, came with a problem: I found out I'm just a bit on the nit-picky side so far as what I read is concerned. In the world of published fiction this isn't normally an issue, but as I delved into fan-fic I discovered that certain things, a tired story concept, disjointed structure, or bad grammar, would knock me right out of a story, and I wouldn't enjoy it. Eventually I ran out of stories that didn't do this to me, so I fell into a funk until while reading a sub-par piece of writing I thought to myself "Hey, I could write better than this! How hard could it be?"

I found out, soon enough, but you can see the fruits of that labor below.

I also contribute to the MLP Time Loops, which were originally written by Saphroneth and now include a bunch of other, more-awesome-than-me authors.
