OMG! ROFL! LOLZ! TEH UPDATE! ...Ugh, I feel dirty for typing that. Note to self: Light hands on fire while screaming "Cleanse by fire" at the top of my lungs.

Hey, ok, I guess this is the part where I say something about myself. Of course this will be fairly short because, let's face it, I'm not all that interesting probably. However, here are a few things that you may like to know...if only for your personal satisfaction:

Basic Info:

Name: James (but feel free to call me Jiggy or Jiggs, its a common nickname for me and I respond better to it.)

Age: 22 (and getting older by the day unfortunately)

Gender: Male

Place of Origin: The Lone Star State (Texas, in case you're too lazy to look it up)

Hobbies: Video Games (Devil May Cry rules!), Computer, Writing (duh!), RPGs (D&D, d20 Modern, and other variants), as well as hang out with my friends.

Reason for joining: To see what people think of my writing. I do not wish to become a professional writer, but I do enjoy writing in my freetime. Oddly enough, I find more comfort in getting the opinions on my writing from people I don't know because they can openly voice their opinions without hesitation because I am nothing more than a screen name/pen name to them. If you do decide to review my writing(s) please think of me as that. I will take no offense for everything you say will only help me in the end. Just, please, be kind?

Misc Facts about myself

Favorite TV shows:
Live Action: Heroes, Supernatural
Cartoon: N/A
Anime: Digimon 3rd & 4th season and what bit of 5th season I've seen, Full Metal Alchemist (Or at least what little bit I've seen.), Noein, Tokko, Bleach, InuYasha (Or at least what little bit I've seen.), Gurren Lagann, Gundam 00, Naruto (Sub only! Dub can burn in hell! Believe that, bitches!), Neon Genesis Evangelion, Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (Shut up, it was cute), Hellsing, and I can't think of any others right now.
Manga: Naruto (Oh, that's right, I like it.), Bleach, Mahou Sensei Negima, Love Hina, Mysterious Girlfriend X, Hellsing, Psycho Busters, Kamisama Kazoku, KamiKaze, and others I can't think of right now.

Favorite Video Games: Devil May Cry 1, 2, 3, & 4 (yes, I even liked 2; despite it being the worst of the series, it's still a good games), Fallout 3, any kind of war-time games (can't think of any off the top of my head), and pretty much any kind of action game

Favorite Music/Bands: Rock music; Adema (hands down, favoite song "Immortal"), Three Days Grace, I'm growing a liking to The Birthday Massacre, Seether, Breaking Benjamin, Drowning Pool, Theory of a Deadman, starting to get into Rammstein, as well as a bunch of classic rock bands

Favorite Kinds of stories: Zombie, Supernatural (Demons and spirits), Werewolf, some Vampire, and Action (usage of guns), Mecha (Though I can't seem to find that many. If you have written one or found a good one, I'd be delighted to read it.)

Misc.: I am a VERY music oriented writer. Complete silence does nothing but create writer's block. In order to write I MUST have music playing that suits the mood of the scene I am writing (i.e. Heart-pounding guitar, heavy metal for action scenes; slow soulful songs for the more emotional bits; etc.) So, if you ever read something and don't quite understand it, try and turn on some music that you feel would work as background music if the scene was part of a movie, because that's generally what I strive for.

Current Project(s)

Lost to a Demon's Soul: (Rated M for scenes of gore and occasional swearing) Something I started writing out of boredom and actually took a shining too, as well as the main reason I joined. If you read it, obviously you can tell I suck at summaries and seem to have drifted from the description given. But what can you expect, I'm pretty much making up the story as I go, though I have actually pretty much figured out all the way to the end. Discontinued as is. Will rewrite when time is found (read: I get off my lazy ass.)

Untitled Mech Story: Mech story, half-winging it (though you'd think I'd learn my lesson from the last time I did that.). Written as a friendly competition with two friends: ZoomZoomXandy and In Sane We Trust. We're each taking a different era of generally the same universe, though they each differ. So I guess you could say that we're all writing AU of a yet set original universe. Yeah, that's how we roll. My era is Modern, so that's a bit fun. Of course, just keeping to modern weaponry gets kind of boring so expect to see futuristic weapons and other stuff from time to time. I mean, come on! Mechs! In modern! If that's not already futuristic, I don't know what is. Also, this is going to prove somewhat difficult to keep from making it sound like a bad copy of Neon Geneis Evangelion. Here's to luck and healthy reviews.

As for rating. Haven't decided yet. There's swearing in it, violence, a bunch of BSing with terms and all that, crude humor, possibly a bit of sexual references (though those will most likely be few and on accident or unavoidable). Maybe start as T but may be bumped to M.

Project(s) in Development/Planning Stage:

Cries of the Undead: Zombie story (as said in the name); still in idea development, but a possibility of being written. Plus, I've wanted to write a zombie story for quite some time now. Be sure to look for it if I ever decide to write it.
Update:If written, it most likely is to be a collection of different individuals' stories as they experience the same event rather than a story involving multiple characters. Though, there is always a chance that it my grow into an actual story.

Kin: Supernatural/School life (manga) story about a group of students with superntural abilities inherited from their ancestors struggling to balance school with attacking demons, extermination from an order of demon-blood slaying knights, and more.
Update: First chapter of story is still in first draft after a full year of planning and development with help from a friend/assisstant.
