Hello and welcome to the profile of the infamous kitty demon, (aka starwberry_nerd on portkey just so everyone knows and yes, I know about the mispelling) my choice of pen name comes from a point in my life where I was not only an idiot but I also was not allergic to cats and was a fan of inuyasha- I'm still a fan of inuyasha but hopefully i'm no longer an idiot.

This unusual female can only ever be found in either the mountains of Utah or the mountains of Tennessee, depending on the season but no matter what she will be in the mountains. This creature has tried her hand/paw mostly at the humorous genre of fics with an occasional dabbling into some angsty/thought provoking stuff which supposedly she is good at though she remains unconvinced. Since she has no great amount of experience in the romantic area she apologizes if any romance she may add or write seems unusually corny or unbelievable. She will not attempt to force romance into a fic and she will avoid writing a sue at all costs. She is vaguely annoyed when she sees that her stories have an awesome number of hits but not even a fraction of the same number of reviews. She will now stop speaking in third person, even thought it's kinda fun.

I love to read all sorts of books, usually fantasy stuff and a lot of mysteries. I like anime, My Neighbor Totoro was the first then Sailor Moon and it went on from there. I was born in the year of the snake and during the traditional time of Cancer in the Greek zodiac- try guessing my age for yourself. I've got a bunch of younger siblings, no older sibs and more cousins than I know what to do with. I started reading fanfiction in middle school, much to my mother's dismay, and started writing it in high school but I didn't post until my senior year. I'm now working on earning my bachelors in east asian history. I believe in love but I don't believe in soul mates, I don't drink, and I don't smoke or use any other sort of drug. I dislike onions but love garlic and am a reasonably good cook. I'm impatient and often restless. Science makes me sleepy even if it is pretty cool, I love history, English is fun, I will mentally correct peoples' grammar as they speak or as I read whatever they've written, and anthropology fascinates me. I've also recently fallen in love with a manga called Skip Beat, it's absolutely adorable and I love it! And I've become hooked on Criminal Minds.

If there's a type of story you'd like to see me write then all you have to do is ask and I'd probably be willing to take up the challenge, though be warned that I won't write yaoi or yuri and I don't write smut.

I'm annoyed by people who attempt to use 'thy' 'thee' and 'thou' in their stories and get it wrong and I hate it when people use 'omg' 'lol' or any other text speak in their stories or their summaries because for goodness sakes, speaking and writing are two different things! 'U' cannot replace 'you' nor can 'no' replace 'know', 2 cannot replace to or too and two (see, the word, not the frikkin' number! There are rules for this sort of thing and they are not the sort of rules to break just so you can be different, they are the sort of rules created so people can actually read the story and believe the writer has some form of maturity/class/some other complimentary word and to those who break these rules then I can only say, read a gosh darn book and stop texting all the time! The phrase "little did he/she know" drives me INSANE, not really sure why but it absolutely drives me up the wall. And if you suck at summaries, DO NOT SAY SO IN THE SUMMARY! People can tell if a story or the summary is crap or not without it being announced to the world. In an emergency find a friend or even another ffn writer who seems to be good at writing summaries and ask them to do it for you. And learn how to spell the characters' names! Also I hate mature situations or even romantic situations between characters who aren't even of the age of consent, twelve year olds are not running around making out with each other! If they are, don't tell me, just let me believe in the innocence of children and that it lasts longer than it apparently does. Yes I am a bit of a prude, sorry but it's just how I am. I can stand characters acting ooc, but only to a certain degree. For example, Ron abandoning Harry is believable, Hermione knowingly and willingly abandoning or betraying Harry is not even within the realms of possibility. I have other examples of impossible oocness but I can't think of them at the moment. I have, just barely, restrained myself far too many times from sending rather vicious reviews to people who insist on continuing with the previously mentioned mistakes. Be warned that my patience will not last forever.

Random thing that I'll mention just because, to all guys out there, girls will appreciate it if you tell them they look pretty, especially if it's a first date, especially if you got there twenty minutes late and she was actually nice enough to wait for you, especially if she obviously took some effort to look nice and you just showed up looking like you just got out of class/work/whatever, especially if this was the first date and you want to even dream of going on a second it wouldn't kill you to take the effort of saying something to the effect of "you look pretty"

Currently I've got technically three living ocs, possibly four or five, and one dead oc. The ocs act as matckmakers, villians or they just give out information that is necessary to move the story on that I can't make anyone else give because it would be ooc.

If any of these ocs seem in danger of becoming a mary/gary sue please please please tell me! Unless its Destiny, that'll be on purpose

Also, I've got several challenges, all centering around the Harry Potter fandom but they could probably be altered to suit other things, anyone who wants to check them out should go look at my forum
