Welcome!
Thank you for reading my TOS! Feel free to bookmark this page to skip some hoops on future visits.
With that out of the way, welcome to my site! This is a repository for all of my fanfiction, and a few rare instances of original fiction as well. Any fanart hosted on this site will have proper credit attached. And hey, maybe I'll even post some of my own fanart here sometime!
(Of course, this depends on me figuring out how to actually do any of that, but I digress.)
This is not a personal blog, so if you were looking for something like that - sorry to disappoint! You won't be finding any of that here. This site exists strictly to act as an archive of all of my works. With the way things are going, who knows? This might be the only place left where you'll be able to find it.
About
I go by many names, but for the sake of brevity and clarity, you can simply call me Ryan or Rattie (they/he). I'm a bunch of queer rats stacked in a trenchcoat just trying to make it through life. You know how it is. I have a full time job so unfortunately I am not able to devote as much time to my passions as I would like to, but we make do with what we have.
Fanfiction exists as my escape from reality, but in some ways, fanfiction is the truest window into my reality. You will not find me in a blog post - you will find me in the words I write and the worlds I create. It has helped me come to terms with a lot about myself, which might sound crazy when you look at the content of my fics, but I swear it's the truth.
...and also I'm a pervert so don't take everything in my fics as a genuine reflection of my real-life convictions, okay? We went over this before you got to this page.
FAQ
Q: When is [fic title] going to be updated?
A: Depends on my motivation, honestly. I have so many ideas and so little time, it's hard to say when any of my longer fics will be updated and/or completed. The muse is fickle and cruel to me, so some fics may not be updated for years. Try not to lose hope, okay?
Q: Is [fic title] abandoned?
A: God I hope not.
