Hello, all. I am Ryoko, known as Ryo.

I am, mainly, a fanfiction author. (Or, I used to be.) So, why am I on a conventional writing site as well as my beloved fanfiction.net? Because, my dear reader, I have an imagination that constantly overworks itself, and all those ideas have to go somewhere, and this is the aforementioned 'somewhere.'

Before you go all "OHMYGODHOWCANYOUSUPPORTAMNESTYWHENPRISONERSDESERVETOBEINPRISON!!111!" or whatever on me, I would like to point out that I keep my penname the way it is because it sounds nice when spoken aloud.

About Me
I like most of the humanities and being imaginative.
Science fiction has always been one of my favorite genres of entertainment.
My favorite bands include Nightwish, Within Temptation, Silversun Pickups and Otep. Go figure.

I dislike trite things, and people who like trite things.
I don't particularly like political conservatives who get on my case for being a left-winged Democrat.
Gushy romance novels are ridiculous. Especially ones that talk like they're in Middle Earth or something.

I am a TiNe and a 5w4.
I am not a faction of hardcore music.
I am not much of anything, to be honest.

About My Stories
Zigzag: A serial about a kid with leukemia, a kid who lives in a seclusive cult-like environment, and the less-than-smooth friendship they manage to create. It eventually leads to a love affair. Don't like that? Then I suggest you refrain from reading it.

Squiggle: A collection of short stories using the main characters from Zigzag. No gay relationship here, guys; my goal is to keep this one clean for the little kiddies at heart. (Of course, I probably won't keep that goal, but whatever.) Coming soon.
