I love to write, period. I enjoy reading, too, as long as the story is well-written. I enjoy reading and writing original stories. Unfortunately, my reading is somewhat limited by a knack for proofreading; reading something with too many grammar or spelling errors is downright painful (so if I get far enough into your story to actually review it, consider it pretty much proofread). Since I hope to become a published author someday, that's all to the good. ^_~

I'd like to mention now that unless I deliberately state that something is to be continued, it will NOT be. If there isn't some sort of notice that I plan to continue it, then it's a short story. And while I may write other short stories in the same universe, or with the same characters, that doesn't make it a chaptered story.

Not everything I write makes it here. Some of my stories and ficlets are archived only on my livejournal (http:///users/birdzilla/) and can be found in my memories. They're not put up here for any one of several reasons, but the most usual are because they're short character introspectives for RPG characters or from universes I haven't written any long stories for yet, or because they're gifts for my friends and I don't like putting those gifts up anywhere else.
