Bio

Maybe the real plot was the friends we made along the way. [Last Updated: February 1, 2025]


I'm too old for this shit and I have learned not to share too much of my personal life on the internet. I earned a 4-year English degree, work as an English and writing tutor at a local college, a communications copywriter for a non-profit, and I'm a development editor at an academic publishing company. That means I word good.

I like literature and poetry. I first started writing as a hobby with online roleplay at the start of 2010, and I've slowly drifted away from it in recent years. I enjoy most genres, but if I had to pick a couple of favorites, they would be sci-fi and high fantasy—heavy emphasis on the high fantasy. Some of my favorite moments have come from Elder Scrolls roleplays, since it appeals to the D&D nerd in me.

I have a tendency to get carried away with making my character sheets. I've always been a fan of characters overcoming their weaknesses and obstacles and I try to make that show in many of my characters. Therefore, many of the narratives I explore come from a place of vulnerability, but I try to balance the heavy themes with light whimsy. Sometimes though that door swings the other way and I lean into the whimsy while sneaking in moments of vulnerability.

I also try to research whatever it is I'm writing about so that I'm not just spitting into the wind. Unless that's what my character is doing, in which case I try to make sure that's made clear in my writing. Sometimes that gets in the way, like in the case of blacksmith character I wanted to make but felt compelled to study up on blacksmithing first (don't fall into that trap, no one really gives a shit).

It’s kind of hard to define my style, as I’m influenced by all sorts of literary movements and schools of criticism; dark romanticism, modernism, post-modernism, Marxism, feminism, post-structuralism—I have a lot of isms in my pocket. Nathaniel Hawthorne is one of my favorite dark romantic authors, Dickinson is one of my favorite naturalist poets, Judith Ortiz Cofer, Langston Hughes, and Robert Frost—they’ve all in some ways informed my writing, as well as many others. I even tend to look to some of my fellow guild mates for inspiration or analyze what I like about their writing and see what I can do to improve my own through their example.

My shifts have been kicking my ass. I'll see if I can't give you something tomorrow, Dervy-bird.
I did say that the Bastard is good and had a good team supporting each other. :P
^Genji. Genji is the answer to your cancer. Fight cancer with cancer.

Unless being a good Bastion also means just not shooting and wait for the parry to end.
I just came here to say 2 things since you can't post this in the status bar and have me not make a comment or two:
1) ew overwatch
2) What's the big deal about people playing as Bastion?


1) Let people enjoy things
2) Nothing, really. Bastion is a viable character. He just kills you in .2 seconds and a good Bastion player can be very difficult to counter, and it's even harder if they have a pocket healer and a good team to support each other.
I stole POTG away from Allen three times in a row last night.
Oorg#1826 on PC.

I only really play D.Va, Zenyatta, and Junkrat TBH.
"You three", this is the first I've posted here outside the harmless IC prank that literally does not affect anything at all, so am muchly confuse.

lov u anyway tho
Gotta ask before I start - what is the guard armor like? If they're just padded overcoats, okay, but I struggle seeing Finch being able to carry all that weight around if there was actual metal armor in it. He's also small, would there even be an outfit to fit him?
I might need somebody to help me make magic happen.

Eh? Eh?!
What I've been doing is writing a PM conversation to myself on RPG and editing the post whenever I need to.
