Hi! I guess I get to call myself a Wattpad old timer by now, which is pretty sweet. Sweet...do the kids still say that these days?

I'm both a writer and a reader on Wattpad, although I'm a pretty picky reader on this site. I write primarily Fantasy and Teen Fic, both with significant helpings of Romance (usually between two dudes. If you happen to be one of the two readers who once DM'd me expressing their shock that my sword-wielding, foul mouthed boys wanted to make out with other boys, all I can say is that the giant rainbow on my profile really should've tipped you off.)   

If you've read my work, I'd love to hear what you think of it! The good, the bad and the ugly. I should note that I'm primarily interested in feedback on Imalroc. Beginnings, my fluffy little foray into Teen Fiction, was the first thing I ever finished, so I love it and keep it posted, but it's not the focus of revision. If you're interested in doing critique exchanges for Imalroc, let me know! I'm especially interested in reading Fantasy with LGBTQ+ elements.
