Hello, all. This is Equilibrium, fiction fanatic and champion of all things caffeinated. If you're here because you're curious about me, here are a few things you may or may not want to know:

- I'm a terrible procrastinator.

- My goal in life is to retire peacefully, buy and read a truckload of good books, write something not-too-terrible, and go hang gliding off a very tall cliff. Not necessarily in that order.

- I chose my Fictionpress penname from a dictionary. At random. Because I couldn't think of anything meaningful.

- When I'm not busy with school and sports, I'm usually imbibing copious amounts of double-cream latte, doodling in the margins of my textbooks, and memorizing crazy polysyllabic words like 'hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia'.

- I hoard paper products, squee at fluffy animals, and flee from anything pink or glittery.

Still here? Oh, very good. Now for some shameless advertizing!

As you can see, I'm currently working on a story called Experiment Thirteen. As the first brainchild of an inexperienced student, it's not particularly well-written, so your advice and comments are doubly appreciated. In fact, it is my custom to give a review for every review I receive. So if you'd like me to take a look at your stories or poems, just drop a message. In the meantime, happy reading!


30/09/2011: Nearly a year ago, Experiment Thirteen was added to Project Fiction's Good Fiction List. Today, I revisted the site and got a wonderful surprise. Experiment Thirteen has received a total of 51 ratings, and is the only story I've seen (in the Fantasy genre, at least) with an average rating of all five stars. I suspect, dear reviewers, that you are directly responsible for this. Thank you ever so much!

State your intentions, Muse. I know you're there.
Dead bards who pined for you have said
You're bright as flame, but fickle as the air.
My pen and I, submerged in liquid shade,
Much dark can spread, on days and over reams
But without you, no radiance can shed.
Why rustle in the dark, when fledged with fire?
Craze the night with flails of light. Reave
Your turbid shroud. Bestow what I require.

But you're not in the dark. I do believe
I swim, like squid, in clouds of my own make,
To you, offensive. To us both, opaque.
What's constituted so, only a pen
Can penetrate. I have one here; let's go.
