Hmmmm, whelp, this is gonna be a train wreck, but frak it, I'm off deployment!
So, allow me to introduce myself, I'm Ashley Glocker, Which is close enough to real name status to leave it at that. I'm young 20's which is as close to my age as I'll ever tell you, though I'll tell you I was born on leap day so you can figure it yourself I'm sure.
I've been writing fanfiction and roleplaying since I've been about... 12? Mmm, early middle school late elementary school anyway. I've always loved a well-told story or a interesting setting and have been reading full sized chapter books since I was in kindergarten. (It was Holes. Still love that book...)
As I've grown older, my writing and reading has grown quite well, though I've gotten very little success as a fanfic writer, mostly due to my recent (by three years now) change in career status by joining the US Military Service. Deployments make posting updates difficult.
I happened upon this merry little place just yesterday in fact. The idea of a 'badfic fixing/destroying' agency is one I've heard before but I wasn't aware of such a large community, much less the amount of quite-well written fanfics about it out there, and a few authors I know decently from reading their fics even are PPC members. (Looking at Herr Wozzeck here. Still Love Mass Vex.)
*glances at small clipboard in hand, scrolling down the checklist* Lets see, name, age, job status, why I'm even saying anything... oh, right. Fandoms.
Right, so, fandoms. I'm a Brony, I like Doctor Who but I'm not a Whovian, mostly because the only Doctor Who episode I've actually gotten to watch all the way through is 'Blink'. I -will- make you Praise the Sun or participate in Jolly Co-Operation, I've run the Shadows a few times chummer, and I promise to attempt to not rant your ear off about why the 'heat sinks' mechanic from Mass Effect 2 and 3 are horseapples.
In real life, my time can be limited due to my working schedule and deployments, which can lead to me suddenly vanishing. Don't worry, I'll be ok. Probably.
Feel free to ask any questions, I'll have an answer. And please forgive me if I swear a little here and there- You can take a sailor off the sea but you can't clean off his salt.
