I have been a member since high school and I now have a bachelor's degree. Formerly, I was known here as Acrocanis, and recently changed my name to Ezrai-Rafor02, a name by which I have uploaded works of art pertaining to my writing on . I have also gone by Drakovolf, and have roleplayed my characters in the past under the same name, and continue to do so today.

For the purposes of my literary work, I have developed the pseudoname Alysa Taladay.

I am a writer of sci-fi and fantasy. I like to write freestyle poetry, but poetry and I don't get along. I can write it okay, we just don't get along. It's hard to explain. I graduated from an arts high school, having majored in Creative Writing for four years. I am now a freelance artist, hoping to someday write and illustrate my own works. I have entered the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards competition several times and have received a number of regional awards.

Currently I am a working adult, doing freelance digital and traditional art on the side.

In the meantime, I am a very very busy person who really enjoys writing. I promise I'll come around more often when I have the time!

Update: So, I totally did not keep that promise. To be honest, I have found myself growing distant from this site, although I still come around once in a blue moon to check up on the wonderful people I've met here (most of whom no longer come around, themselves). This is a truly unique community of excellent and diverse individuals, and I have enjoyed being a part of it.

So read, review, criticize, tell me what you think, and I'll try and do what I can in return.

In Progress:

Liberation is the first book of my saga that I have been working on since seventh grade. Earlier, if you count my premature fanfics that have all been boxed away with some degree of shame. I have considered pulling them out to remind myself not to poke fun at young fanfic writers.

ALL OF LIBERATION IS GOING DOWN! IT IS CURRENTLY UP IN ITS MOST RECENT FORM ON DEVIANTART. http:///gallery/7033897

The newest version of The Wild Side is being uploaded to Writer's Cafe: http:///writing/ryozaem/605017/

Earthship was inspired by a passage I wrote for the fun of it back in high school, and I ended up expanding on the idea. Then I finished it all in one night because I decided to enter it into a contest and misread the rules (I think I misread 5,000 words as 50,000). A reimagined edition of Earthship is being uploaded to Writer's Cafe: http:///writing/ryozaem/605017/

Nightmare Fantastic is being rewritten in a notebook. I cannot bear to transcribe what it was I actually wrote any further. Perhaps later in the story, I will. I'm just not the same person I was when I started it. In the meantime, I am working on rewriting the next scenes in the story. I still intend to upload this story here at Fictionpress.

Yep, the last two are just not even going to make it on the list, right now, and I have a lot of other things to think about. Other projects, and higher obligations. Ahh adult life. :p Besides which, I am not totally sure what I have done with the rest of Labyrinth Temple, as it is handwritten.
