From his position outside of the narrative, he can bear witness to all that transpires within.

SirNotAppearingInThisFic has never been one to shy away from alternate modes of expression in his fics - indeed, working with seemingly-unlikely story material is a staple of his and something he really excels at. In 2019, he gave us the dialogue-less How Bunnies Almost Took Over The World, a story close to my heart for its compelling portrayal of the rarely-seen animal perspective in pony fanfiction. Prior to that, his subversive hand can be seen in a much-needed deconstruction (and later, reconstruction) of the oft-maligned "Displaced" subgenre, exploring it from a more realistic top-down perspective in a fic which impressively doubles as a metanarrative for Displaced fics as a whole. And of course there's Unhinged, the minific anthology that would later give rise to the impressive For The Benefit Of Yaks.

Avatar source (as best as I can tell)

I am a semi-experienced proofreader and editor as well as author of a handful of over-thought and questionably-executed jokes who has appropriately appeared in zero fictional works to date.

"What do you mean by 'semi-experienced' proofreader and editor?" you may ask. Truth be told, I don't know where one would draw these lines, but I don't have mountains of works or a handful of masterpieces that I can point to and say, "I made that come together." Neither do I claim that my thoughts and feedback are infallible.

On the other hand, I'd like to think that I can work with a writer to make sure their work is functioning as they intend it to.

I happen to be one of Kwakerjak's several proofreaders, and am currently invested in Bugsydor's ongoing series (as well as other works of his). Beyond that, I occasionally get roped into something or, for some reason, offer my services for no particular reason.

Works I have written or proofread/edited for can be seen in the modules (and bookshelves, if you click the module titles) below.
