Raven Akuma Profile

"Say what you mean and mean what you say. Confront what frightens or offends you. Reckless or insulting talk should never go unchallenged."

- Cheshire Cat (Alice: Madness Returns)

Ladies and gentlemen, one and all, welcome to my profile page! I am Raven Akuma; the metalhead, otaku writer. It's nice to meet 'ya all!

My role as a reader:  I'm pretty busy organizing my own chaos on here, especially with constant writer's block, and I'm so easily overwhelmed/depressed/stressed that reading has become kind of a hassle. I try, though when I do, comments are scarce. Still, if you want feedback on a good poem or short story, I'll be happy to help there.

My role as a writer:  Yes, my writing is amateur, but my imagination is not! I'll write shortstories or poems as side-projects, as well as "Twisted Souls", but the majority of my time is spent writing my series 'The Forsaken Race.' (TFR for short). This is a fantasy book series inspired by my crazy imagination and love of anime. I started planning this series a few years back, put it to page two years ago, and I haven't stopped since! Nor do I plan to until I see this series published as a manga at the very least.

Tips for reading my book(s):

1: some minor things are always subject to change, so if you go back and notice I replaced some words in a description, please don't be surprised. The story itself is always intact.

2: I use double-spaced paragraphs to move between dreams/visions/flashbacks. I use \\\\\ to switch POV.

3: TFR is rated "Mature." It has strong language, gore, and what I guess some people call "traumatic content" (idk, haha). So if you're a sensitive reader, beware.

I can ensure anybody that I will never sell out in any way just for more attention; I stick to what I have. I'm not targeting some audiences over others, I'm hopefully making my own and catering to it. I don't approve of PC things, or other moves that ruin a series' characters, settings, messages, or overall story.

I will say that I enjoy experimenting with my style of writing, though. Sometimes it comes out well, other times not. In the end, though, I try to make sure everything comes out better than before. so if you read my stories once before and didn't like it, then I encourage you to come back and try again later. You may just find yourself surprised! And of course, I ALWAYS encourage you to criticize me.
