About
Well, I've been here long enough that I really have no excuse not to fill out my profile.

I am a professional writer, although I hesitate to say that because I'm afraid people will then expect too much from my posts: "What, an idol post with three sentences and 40 pictures? I thought you were a professional writer, lazy girl!" Anyway, my non-Jtor writing is primarily for local newspapers, so I'm not a cool-beans novelist or anything like that *sniff*. Not that there's anything wrong with newspapers- newspapers are awesome! Please keep paying me!

I live in the NYC metro area, which is really nifty except for the fact that I can't afford anything on a freelance writer's paycheck, but food is overrated.

Other stuff by me on the vast and glorious internet:

My Twitter:

I only tweet when I update something new either on Jtor or one of my own websites, I pretty much never tweet 'just because.' Personally I think Twitter is much more useful if you're judicious with it, which is also the reason why I don't follow a whole lot of people. It's not that there's anything wrong with tweeting to your heart's content, it just doesn't work for me personally.

My general blog

Home of non-anime and video game topics!

My Destructoid blog

My Dtoid cblog, home of game fanart and SRPG love. Oh, and dungeon crawlers, I love those.

My graphic novel(tl;dr?)

My graphic novel that I've been working on since the beginning of time- if you read it, please keep in mind that I was a wee little kid when I started it- I didn't know any better! Anyway, I'm still working on it; it's been on the back burner a lot lately, but I tend to be very streaky with drawing- I won't draw for two months, and then I'll go crazy and update a metric ton of pages. I've been trying to smooth out this pattern for my whole life, no real success to speak of yet ><. Also, the art gallery includes almost all of my art, not just my Sterling stuff.


MY COMIC MAKES ME HAPPY.

There we go, now that's all done. Stupid intimidating blank profile page!

Japanator Recommends: The 14th Dalai Lama

The 14th Dalai Lama: A Manga Biography, by Tetsu Sawai is...a manga biography. I don't think I've read a manga biography before. Yoshiro Tatsumi's A Drifting Life came out fairly recently, but that was an autobiography, so it...   more

First Impressions: Asobi ni Iku

Summary: An alien catgirl comes to earth for a visit, however there are so many messed-up, secret organizations having a shadow war on earth that the catgirl is kind of the least of it. You know, for an anime about a generic-looking catgirl with a huge chest, this was actually pretty damned good. Hit the jump for why.   more

Confessions: GARtender AGAIN

As you may recall, I first confessed my feelings for Heiwajima Shizuo on historic Man Day. However, that was the first blush of an impulsive, immature love; Only five episodes of Durarara!! had aired at that time, meaning tha...   more

Japanator AM 23: Your MOM Is an alternate universe

Welcome to Durarara!! Day

First Impressions: Seitokai Yakuindomo

First Impressions: Mitsudomoe

Summary: Like Hanamaru Kindergarten, only minus the charm.When I said that I wished Hanamaru Kindergarten would make good on the more mature plotlines hinted at in the first episode, the sort of antics in Mitsodomoe were so N...   more

Japanator Recommends: Cosplay Gen Magazine

I haven't really done much cosplay; I dressed up as Rei Ayanami once, but that was back during those teen-aged years that I've been 99% successful at blocking out of my mind, so I can't tell you much about it. Besides, do I r...   more
