GS. I write stories based on the media I consume. My interests include dysfunctional couples and thinking about writing that next chapter. Prompts welcomed!

FAVORITE CHARACTER MEME: Steve Rogers + Captain America: The Winter Soldier [2/5 Movies]

“Captain America is an icon who believes in transparency and justice, not in S.H.I.E.L.D.’s preemptive strikes or Nick Fury’s attempts to save people from themselves at any cost. His values do not evolve to the fit the world. But sometimes, the world evolves to fit him.” - Marie Javins, The Art of Captain America: The Winter Soldier

The thing about war, boy, is while it happens, you’ve no idea what's going on–and when it’s over, everyone spends the rest of your life telling you what you did. - Robert Jackson Bennett, The Tainted Cup

Hello! What are your thoughts on having your writing audio recorded for podfics? I’m a huge fan of your stories Renaissance and Drums of War and would love to be able to record them to share on AO3. Thanks!

Hi there! I'm so glad you like those stories and am very flattered with the ask. You also have interesting timing since I'm slowly my ff.net stories to Ao3.

To be honest I've never thought about or have been approached about it before. I've heard of podfics but will admit I'm not very familiar. What would it entail? Have you done them before?
