Bio:

welcome, to the snippets and half-baked writings of no one special

Poor thing. You must be terribly bored to have come all this way. This is the fanfic and occasional art journal of someone known by very few as , also, more practical, as 'Sami'. Works in all states of undress are available for your perusal, however, I do warn you: my mind is a nonsensical and, often, confusing place to be. So, by relation, are my fics.

paths, roadmaps, compasses and star charts

In other words, what you will find in this peculiar land?

I write mostly Elricest of the Fullmetal Alchemist fandom. By mostly, I mean 99.9% of the time. You may find stray bits of other fandoms, namely Petshop of Horrors, and stray bits of other pairings.

I do not, however, write het. This may or may not change in the future, but as of now, het is not something you will find here.

Fairy-tale fiction and history fics, usually a combination of the two, are my main focus. I dabble in a lot, though. For example, I currently have three drama/horror projects ongoing, one of which is firmly seated in the FMA world. It is safe to say that nearly everything I write is AU to some extent or another.

I rarely do oneshots. Because I'm someone who gets turned on by my god-damned mental masochism, every project I've undertaken so far has spiraled above and beyond my control. So, yes, I've yet to write anything, as of late, that is under 10,000 word count.

Earlier, when I was feeling out the series, I was lucky to hit 1,000. x.x I miss those days.

curiosities of this ill-wandered path

Shouta, incest, for starters. I have few qualms about using certain things for shock factor or annoying my friends. If you're the kind of traveler who complains about whatever accomodations don't suit your tastes, this path may not be for you.

The image for the background, for the moment, is by someone who's name I don't know. It was found on www.students.bucknell.edu

It's beautiful, but a temporary placeholder until my computer is up and running with photoshop.

L'Apprenti Sorcier

They all held out their arms to me,
Crying in their melody,
“Leap in! Leap in and take thy fill
Of all the cosmic good and ill,
Be as the Living ones that know
Enormous joy, enormous woe,
Pain beyond thought and fiery bliss:
For all thy study hunted this,
On wings of magic to arise,
And wash from off thy filmed eyes
The cloud of cold mortality,
To find the real life and be
As are the children of the deep!
Be bold and dare the glorious leap,
Or to thy shame, go, slink again
Back to the narrow ways of men.”
So all these mocked me as I stood
Striving to wake because I feared the flood.
