Hello! I'm Austheke, more commonly and more pronounceably called Aus.

I've been writing for about seven years now, with a full-length novel-thing currently in the works and a lot of short fiction. I don't currently write fanfic, because I think that good fanfic should take a lot of effort, and all my effort is currently going towards bludgeoning the aforementioned novel into a readable and less stupid shape.

I am a huge fan of reading fanfic, though, which is why I'm here--to read lots of wonderful fiction and leave as many reviews as I can.

Speaking of reviews: I'm a firm believer in constructive criticism. If there's something I love about your writing, I'll try and tell you. If there's something I don't love as much because I think you could improve, I'll try and tell you. But I'll always do my best to be polite and constructive whenever I leave comments. If you don't like or disagree with something I say, please feel free to let me know.

One of these days I'll get around to writing some decent fanfic of my own, but until then, I look forward to reading your work!

ships ahoy!:

pairings I love dearly and that you will find wonderful examples of in my favorites:

Jareth/Sarah, from Labyrinth (My first real fandom, with the first fanfiction I really loved.)
Draco/Hermione, from Harry Potter (One of the most complex relationships in fandom, I think. It makes for fascinating reading.)
Katara/Zuko, from Avatar (0% sorry)
Severus/Hermione, from Harry Potter (SS/HG makes no sense and yet I adore them. My favorites include some truly stellar examples. Read before you judge.)
Ron/Hermione, from Harry Potter (Yes, Ron is an arse. Yes, I still love him. I think he would grow up well.)
Kestrel/Marius Ortiz, from Wind on Fire (It is a tragedy that these two aren't together. There also isn't nearly enough fic for this unbelievably lovely series.)

pairings I ship but don't read much:

Jayne/Kaylee, Mal/Inara, Mal/River, from Firefly
Nine/Rose, from Doctor Who
Han/Leia, from Star Wars
Castle/Beckett, from Castle
Brennan/Booth, from Bones
Katara/Aang, from Avatar

pairings I'm currently investigating:
