-About and Contact-
Shadow's Library serves as a way for me to not only store my creations, but to share them. Its design is meant to showcase my creativity and make this site unique from other, similar sites, as well as pursuing the fantasy theme I'm always working with. More technical summaries of the different site pages are listed below:
Artistic Scrolls: All of my artwork is placed here. Due to lacking a scanner, all of my artwork is digital, and like my writing, usually has a fantasy/sci-fi theme to it. I have also made fanart for Dragon Cave©, Flight Rising©, and Tales of Ostlea©, three casual pet sites I've enjoyed. If you see these abbreviations on the site (DC, FR, and ToO respectively), that's what they are!
Handwritten Tomes: Where I host all of my writing works. This includes short stories and novels that I am working on; I don't plan on selling all of my novels (especially since some of them are fan works) but I would still like to share my ideas with others. This section is always the slowest to update, as it takes me forever to consider one of my works "finished".
Realm Archives: Everyone has a fear about something that comes with age, and my worry is that one day I'll forget about a bunch of things I made up! This is supposed to help me remember: a wiki for all of my creations. For the sake of the curious (and to make things a little easier when it comes to explaining my creations to people) the wiki is public. Sure, it's all fiction, but a little worldbuilding never hurt anything.
The Pine Desk: The Handwritten Tomes are meant to host my creative writing, but occasionally I will write down other miscellaneous information. When I want to share them, I'll put them here. I like to think of it as a blog without comments, that knicknack box that's interesting but doesn't really fit anywhere. For now, since it's small, it's located on the Handwritten Tomes page.
Caution:
As a final note, I try to be as courteous to my visitors as possible, including giving ratings to my own works. Additionally, because of the person I am you can always expect me to go no further than a Teen rating with any of my works; you will still have to worry about violence and bloodshed, but I never go into detail about anything explicit, sexual, concerning drugs and alcohol, concerning swearing, and other suggestive themes. In the rare cases that I do, I will mark those products with a higher rating indicating the existence of that material.
Please note that the site does not contain any safe-guards to keep minors from viewing any material. I am not responsible should anyone view material that should not have been viewed; that responsibility lies in the user's hands. I advise caution for those who desire to avoid certain amounts of bloodshed, gore, and violence (including any other themes I may dabble in as time goes on). If a user is particularly worried about certain content that may be used by minors I will not protest the use of an ad- or image-blocker on my site (but please, try to only block the images that are offensive).

Why "Shadow's Library"?
I am one person who loves her characters, and among many of them, I created one that fits me as a person best (don't be mistaken, she's still an entirely different person!). Like many of my characters, her name, design, history, pretty much everything about her just came to me, including her hilariously-edgy misnomer: Shadow. Long story short, quite far into the timeline of my Karitzuian Galaxy books she starts amassing information about almost anything she can discover (basically everything I have created). She has since created a library with all of this information stored in it. On the Realm Archives page you can discover a lot of this information for yourself. All of my finished (or at least mostly-finished) creations are stored there, from the ones who I have written extensively about, to the ones I've drawn once or twice, to the ones that have yet to see daylight. They're all there. (Or at least going to be; writing the pages for each one is taking quite some time...)
So what about the email, you ask? Any pointless lore tied to that? Sure! Kazul is a little bat-like helper of Shadow's, and he lives in a box on cold nights. He doesn't leave the library unless he's sent on errands, which tends to happen a lot. Stuff he takes back from trips he stores in his box. Yup. Your emails are put in a box covered in sprinkles, cut-out comics, shiny pebbles and black fuzz. Thankfully they're virtual and are received devoid of fuzz.
Fun Fact: The site was originally going to be called The Karitzuian Galaxy, but that was before I started writing about things outside of that timeline/universe as well, hence the domain name "www.karitzuiangalaxy.weebly.com".

About the Creator
Not exactly a resume. More if you're just curious and need something to do.
If you own a business and want to know more about me, I have written up a more official resume here!
- As evident in what I produce, I love fantasy, mythical, surreal, supernatural, science-fiction, and action and adventure content. I like a good story with its fair share of conflict, mysteries and puzzles for keeping me thinking, and of course a good splash of humor. I prefer clean humor, and am okay with slow-burn, unobtrusive romances. I also love good creature design. We have the technology to slap together the most heinous and curious monstrosities now, so why not?
- I'm a little too open-minded to possibility, probably as a result of determination to solve that one, irritating puzzle in a video game without a walkthrough? That's happened way too often. Just being fascinated by oddities in general has also made me open to theories on cryptids, aliens, divine powers and ghosts, and all related content in between. I'm logical enough to reject supposed evidence of something if it's not very convincing, but if I'm faced with something truly inexplicable, I won't deny that it could be something supernatural.
- I'm a fan of dreams. They are a long-time favorite of mine, and a fair number of my creations or their universes are inspired by dreams. Some dreams even help me piece together my stories and provide content, and it's fascinating to learn what other peoples' dreams are like. Sometimes the weirdest things make the best stories.
- My love for inhuman characters and creatures likely stemmed from a previous love for animals. I've lived with pets my whole life, and it looks like it'll stay that way. I'm even okay with bugs and insects, even if they do live in a pretty brutal world that makes me cringe sometimes. I do wish though that nature shows would focus on the behavior and abilities of animals, and not how they reproduce... that topic has been beaten to death my whole life, and no doubt longer than that. Maybe it'll change when we have another technology boom.
- Speaking of, I love technology too. It's amazing what we can make sometimes! There's also underlying humor to it all, because half of it was discovered by accident.
- I tend to run away with ideas, as evident by the Realm Archives. At the same time, I strive to not misinform, twist, or warp anything someone else has already established. This need to accurately represent everything makes me inclined to use my own content, so as a result I enjoy role-playing in my spare time. Makes use of all the worlds I've made up.
- Despite always feeding my creative side, I do have a logical side and strive to maintain personal principles. I believe principles - or lack thereof - are the defining traits for one's behavior and thoughts, and giving myself something to abide by has given me confidence in the future; something I've sorely needed for a long time, because believing anything is possible makes it difficult to trust everything will be fine. They have also reduced a ton of stress concerning controversial topics and grey areas I previously thought I could never find an answer to. There's always a solution for something!
- I try to stay positive, even if it is a more realistic form of it where I think things can only turn for the better because it can only go worse for so long. We have enough negativity in the world, and staying positive is healthier, anyway. It's just tricky to find the line between "optimism" and "denial". I think I found it. Maybe. Ah well, we'll find out!
- My memory is just awful. Life past sixty years is going to be exciting. Maybe literally.

Contacting Me
I do frequent certain sites, but I'm not a big social media user, so I'm not on sites that most other people use. I do plan on it staying that way, but in the future I might have to register an account to Facebook or something... but there are ways to contact me!
