Author has written 33 stories for Romance, and General.

Okay, about me: I am female, in college, and I am straight. I have a person in my head (namely Kiyoshi) telling me what to write. I think that's all you guys really need to know. If I like you enough to tell you more, good for you.

At the moment I think I have four stories (of thirty two) that are not slash, m/m, yaoi, shounen-ai, whatever you want to call it, at least to some degree. One is het. One is fem-slash. Two aren't romance. So... yeah. Every single story on my favorites list is slash. So putting all that together... If you don't like slash, I really have no clue why you're reading my profile. :)

Kiyoshi is my muse or my imaginary friend or the person in my head or my hallucination or whatever you want to call him. At any rate, he's the one who's really writing the stories; he's the one calling all the shots; he's the one you can be upset with if something happens in a story that you don't like. And yet, I still like him for some inexplicable reason. So, time for a description of Kiyoshi. Birthday: April 17, 1994. He has dark green eyes and black hair. His hair is generally uneven and falls around his chin area. He is 5'8" and is left-handed. Speaking of Kiyoshi's left hand, he has a poisonous purple-green plant growing out of his left forearm. That's all you really need to know.

Well, as you may have noticed, I have a tendency to ramble. Sometimes endlessly and without a purpose. But that's okay. However, if you all even care, I would like you to know one thing: no matter how much I ramble in author's notes and review responses, I make a conscious effort to make everything in the story have a point. Well, I think that's all.


COMING SOON (maybe...):

Weeeelllllll, due to the plagiarism issue (see ch. 1 of 366 Days) nothing is coming soon. Perhaps some oneshots, if I get the inspiration, but it's unlikely any longer stories will be posted in the near future.

SPEAKING OF THE PLAGIARISM: I DO NOT APPRECIATE BEING TOLD IT IS UNFAIR THAT IF YOU WANT TO REREAD ONE OF YOUR FAVORITE STORIES, YOU NOW HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. WHILE I APPRECIATE BEING TOLD 366 Days IS ONE OF YOUR FAVORITE STORIES, YOU NEEDING TO PAY FOR IT IS NOT UNFAIR. UNFAIR IS HAVING A STORY I WORKED ON FOR A MONTH STOLEN. I AM NOT ABOUT TO RISK A STORY I SPENT FOUR MONTHS AND WHAT SEEMED TO BE ENDLESS AMOUNTS OF RESEARCH AND REVISION TIME ON. I SERIOUSLY CONSIDERED REMOVING ALL MY STORIES AND CLOSING MY ACCOUNT ALTOGETHER, SO DO NOT TELL ME THAT TAKING DOWN WHAT I CONSIDER MY BEST STORY IN ORDER TO PROTECT IT IS 'UNFAIR.' QUIT THINKING THAT YOUR FEELINGS ARE THE ONLY PERSON'S WHOSE MATTER IN THIS SITUATION. YOU JUST READ IT, A RELATIVELY SIMPLE PROCESS; I PUT A LOT OF EFFORT, TIME AND FEELING INTO THAT STORY AND THOSE CHARACTERS. ACTING AS THOUGH I HAVE WRONGED YOU BY REMOVING THE STORY IS OFFENSIVE; DO NOT TREAT ME AS THOUGH I HAVE STOLEN SOMETHING FROM YOU. GARRETT, RYAN, ERIN, KELLIE AND THE OTHERS ARE MINE AND MINE ALONE; I SHARED THEM WITH YOU AND BY TREATING ME AS THOUGH I AM NOT WITHIN MY RIGHTS TO REMOVE THE STORY-as though they belong to you and not me-IS ANOTHER WAY TO TRY AND STEAL THEM FROM ME.

On a side note, I am sorry 366 Days is so d*mn expensive. It is POD (print on demand) which raises the production cost dramatically.

Another thing that I keep getting: 366 Days was not the story that was stolen. 'Dead Wrong' was the story that was plagiarized. I probably would have shut my entire account down if someone stole 366 Days. You know, instead of just throwing a few things (mostly textbooks at the wall) and taking down the story I feel most worth protecting.


Now, as much as I hate those "If you agree or have ever felt this way, repost this" I feel as though I need to. Just this once. Or twice. But they're directly related, and it's at the same time, so it only counts as once.

I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.
I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.
I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.
We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.
I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.
I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.
I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again.
I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.
We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.
I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.

I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.
I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.
I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.
I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.
I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.
I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.
I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I didn’t have to always deal with society hating me.
I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.
I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.

Repost this if you believe homophobia is wrong.


Now, because this piece is just as moving and true as the other one and, in the words of the person whose profile I saw this on, good things happen too...

I am the guy who came out to the entire school in his senior speech and got a standing ovation for his courage.
I am the girl who kisses her girlfriend on the sidewalk and laughs at those who glare.
We are the couple who planned and studied and got a damn good lawyer and BEAT the state that wanted to take our child away.
We are the ones who took martial arts classes and carry pepper spray and are just too dangerous to gay bash.
I am the transgender person who uses the bathroom that suits me, and demands that any complaining staff explain their complaint to my face in front of the entire restaurant--and shares with my other trans friends which restaurants don't raise a stink.
I am the mother who told her lesbian daughter to invite her girlfriend over for dinner.
I am the father who punished his son for calling you a fag.
I am the preacher who told my congregation that love, not hate, is the definition of a true follower of God.
I am the girl who did not learn the meaning of "homosexual" until high school but never thought to question why two men might be kissing.
I am the woman who argues (quite loudly and vehemently) with the bigots who insist that you do not have the right to marry or raise children.
We are the high school class who agrees, unanimously, along with our teacher, that love should be all that matters.
I am the child who was raised going to gay marriages and civil unions, becuase my parents never taught me to hate.

I am making a difference. Hate will not win if we do not let it. If you agree, repost this.


An Ally's Promise--Anthony D'Angelo

I Believe

I believe success is the freedom to be yourself.
I believe nobody is wrong; they are only different.
I believe your circumstances don't define you, rather they reveal you.
I believe without a sense of caring, there can be no sense of community.
I believe our minds are like parachutes; they only work if they are open.
I believe we only live once, but if we live it right, one time is all we'll need.
I believe we must first get along with ourselves before we can get along with others.

I Will

I will seek to understand you.
I will label bottles not people.
I will grow antennas not horns.
I will see the diversity of our commonality.
I will see the commonality of our diversity.
I will get to know who you are rather than what you are.
I will transcend political correctness and strive for human righteousness.

I Challenge You

I challenge you to honor who you are.
I challenge you to enjoy your life rather than endure it.
I challenge you to create the status quo rather than merely accept it.
I challenge you to live in your imagination more than your memory.
I challenge you to live your life as a revolution and not just as a process of evolution.
I challenge you to ignore other people's ignorance so that you may discover your own wisdom.

I Promise You

I promise to do my part.
I promise to stand beside you.
I promise to interrupt the world when its thinking becomes ignorant.
I promise to believe in you, even when you have lost faith in yourself.

I Am Here For You.

So, if you're looking for a Hokshi dictionary or grammatical rules, they are officially posted with the (complete!) Rule 11. I think they are posted as chapter 36 (Grammar and Verbs) and chapter 37 (Dictionary). So if you're looking for the dictionary for EITHER Rule 11 or Abomination, that's where you need to go. :D


Thanks for playing! Better luck next time!

Kiyoshi: What are you talking about?

KT: They didn't win the lottery.

Kiyoshi: They didn't come to your profile to win the lottery.

KT: WHAT?! Oh well. That's probably a good thing because I only have about ten dollars at the moment.

Kiyoshi: Wow...

Until we meet again!

Kiyoshi: for the record, I'm only here under duress.
