In short: I'm a Creative Writing graduate from San Francisco State. I write a lot, even when it doesn't show up on the fic journal. Married, no kids. There isn't much else you need to know on the "real life" front.

This journal revolves around my interests. That can include, but is not limited to: writing (fiction), Japanese, history, mysticism, console RPGs, anime, manga, fantasy and sci-fi, cooking and/or recipes, and perfume and incense. Occasionally I post about ball-jointed dolls. :D

Sometimes I write fandom essays, and more often they turn into rants. I started this journal because those rants had no place on my websites, or on message boards and other communities I was posting in at the time. I reserve the right to say whatever I want here, and make no promises to be reasonable. Commenting and counter-arguments are fine as long as they're civil.


Sometimes I add random people to my friends list. This might be because:
a) We have similar interests
b) You have a bad habit of making interesting entries
c) You write the kind of fiction I hope to keep reading
d) I'm bored and I want my Friends page to be more lively
e) All of the above.

You're not obligated to Friend me back. That's always nice, but I don't expect it.

Likewise, if you want to Friend me, you don't have to ask.


You may know me as:
- Adriel @ DoA
- Myaru (just about everywhere else)
