The General Overview:

     I write solely for therapeutic purposes, creative expression and to quench my boredom. I have been writing online for eight fourteen years already and counting. I started writing Anime fanfictions, then crossed over to writing Gassoo fanfictions, and eventually, I started writing original fiction stories.

     In 2009, I won Midnight-Tree's "A Penny For Your Thoughts" Fanfiction Contest with my fanfic entitled "A Bittersweet Reunion". 

     In 2011, writing under the pseudonym DaniFire, I won the Best Original Comedy One-Short/Short Story of the Year on Soompi with my original fiction story entitled "She Caught Me".

     My best work to date would probably be "She Caught Me", but I am most notably recognized for spawning Boys Over Flowers fanfics about So Yi Jung and Chu Ga Eul (namely Capturing the Casanova and Keeping the Casanova). 

    In 2011, I started law school and has since then, been very busy with my off-line life, hence the slow updates. Interesting is the fact that, despite writing online for eight fourteen years already, I have kept this from family until now and I never really joined any academic publication.

    In 2014, I had an original story independently published in an anthology under the pseudonym Charlie Pelaez / D.R. Lee. My story is called "Picture Me Naked" and it's included in Kids These Days (Stories From Luna East Arts Academy Vol. 1). It is available on Amazon & Buqo.

    In 2017, I formally entered the legal profession. I also had another short story published independently published as part of an anthology under the pseudonym Charlie Dio. My story is called "Busy Out of the Friendzone"and it's part of Summer Feels: A #romanceclass Anthology. It's available on Amazon.

    I'm currently a legal practitioner in the Philippines.

    That's about it.
