Hello! I'm StrixUmbra (or Strix for short), and... uhh... I don't introduce myself much, evidently.
I'm currently working on an original story, but I have a number of PMD or PMD-esque fics that I'd love to get out into the world! My main priority is called PMD: Students of Moonlight, and, among other things, it's about a human-turned Vulpix, a Torchic raised in secrecy, the Lunala stuck in the Vulpix's mind, the Flygon who knows all three of them in rather significant ways, a school for adventurers-to-be... I'm trying not to set my expectations too high, given my track record with finishing stories, but I can't help but be at least a bit excited for what it could be, in the most optimistic timeline!
As for what I like when I read, I tend to gravitate towards PMD or PMD-type stories, but I'll read anything if it looks good enough! I've noticed a lot of really good-looking fics here that I'm sooooo excited to read. I like reading about angst, found family, good guys being good, bad guys turning good, bad guys being incredibly dangerous while they turn good, and anything with LGBT themes is a huge plus in my book, of course!
Outside of writing, I like owls, most other animals, RPGs (both the tabletop and video game kind!), theater, ghosts, dragons, other legendary creatures, mythology, 80's music, and of course, Pokemon. I love Nuzlockes, too, but I've only ever finished one Nuzlocke of Y (which I actually beat this month! I'm still kind of reeling over it). My favourite Pokemon is Decidueye, because it's literally a ghost owl. What's not to love?
In general, I'm just very excited to be a part of this community! I have a bit of social anxiety (and I've never been part of a forum before!) so I might not be as active as I'd like, but I'll try my best!
