I go by Tinuel. Just Tinuel. I've held this title for over 5 years on many other websites. If you ever locate a Tinuel...there is 95 percent chance its me ;)

Life is meant to be lived. Despite my age (which you shant know), i'm beyond a child at heart. I still randomly run into McDonalds and into the ballpit and stay as long as I can before they throw me out. I am literally one of those people who will be sitting there, and suddenly remember something funny that somebody said once upon a time...and burst out laughing. I will gain an awkward stare, try to supress my laughter, and find even more amusement in it. I'll scurry off to find a corner and burst into a fit of laughter, only to discover someone is staring at me with a very puzzled and frightened expression. I'm a sucker for Disney movies, I'm way too easily amused, and my attention span is rarely held over 2 minutes when engaged in conversation. Even as i'm nodding, smiling, or shaking my head...i'm not listening. I'm usually thinking about the latest plot I want to add to a story, or i'm recapping some lyrics in my mind. Eventually, i'll realize i'm BEYOND lost in the conversation..., but i'm polite enough to admit it. Now-a-days, all my friends just scoff at me and roll their eyes. My mother laughs...probably because shes the same. Even if she won't admit it.

I'm a college student, majoring in Music Education with a minor of Creative Writing. I want to get some sort of degree in Spanish. I have been writing since I was a child :-p My writer of a mother is to blame ;)
I also write poetry and music, but find no need to post any of that here..not to mention i'm extremely possessive of those works.

I never thought i'd write fanfiction. I never thought i'd even READ fanfiction. Long story short..I wanted a certain masked hero to live so badly, I found this site. When my thirsts were quenched, I had my own thoughts beginning to unwind. And thus...Boundaries was born.

Boundaries (VforVen) "You can't play God forever!" Aside from the conflict of V and Evey's defining their 'relationship', the revolution didn't take the turn V had expected. Evey wants the regular "explosive-free" love; V wants a "chain-free" country. Its my first fic ever..and I still love it! It was posted, just for kicks, on November 5th. Oriental was my reader when I was too nervous to put it up here. Her reviews were so amazing and helpful, and she encouraged me so much...Its finally up :)

Heaven:(PhantomOfTheOpera)"Its silly to call on the darkness.." Heaven is a Meg/Erik story. Her bestfriend runs off, and her mother dies. Meg needs someone to put her life back together. I'd say its just your basic romance. Erik is enough of a trial already! Have mercy on it. It doesn't have a beta..or even a proofreader. I've kept it to myself, and it makes edits harder.

Good of Mankind:(SkyHigh)"Warren sitting? That some kinda game? Warren/Layla. GOM is my newest addiction. Its much lighter in mood than my other fictions. It was written as a type of mystery revolving Layla found herself part of, and Warren getting dragged into the mess. Was not at first written as a romance, but upon rewritting it (twice -.-), it ended up that way. Accept it, because I LOVE this story and I love the pairing. Will not be posted until it has a Beta reader, and when Boundaries is 'Complete'.

Lyric of the month: Breathe - Anna Nalick

Cause you can't jump the track
We're like cars on a cable
And lifes like an hourglass glued to the table

First..lets define 'flame'. A flame is a rude review that rips a writers story to shreds. Its all complaints, and no compliments. Its all cruelty, and no advice. If the story is that damn bad, then actually have something to say before you comment on it. Don't say it 'sucks', and not have the intelligence to say why. Why flame something if you cant back up your words?
If you have the balls to flame someone...why don't you have the balls to sign it? Why don't you want us to respond? If you just pissed on our work, give the writer a chance to defend it. You left us shit, so cant we throw it back? If you find yourself unable to ignore your dislikes, and are forced to "flame" someone's story, then do three things.
First: Don't make the mistakes that you are yelling about. If you rant about someone doing something, and do the same damn thing in your stories...you're a damn hypocrite and don't deserve to be listened to.
Second: Be sure you know what your saying. Get your facts right before you open your mouth. Half the flames people leave on stories are inaccurate or illogical. Be sure the writer is in the wrong, and not that you simply misunderstood.
Third: Explain. Don't tell them you don't like their story, and never say why. Don't say you hate the idea, and never explain why. An explanation shouldn't be hard to think up. You know what it is you don't like...so you should be able to explain what you'd prefer as a reader.

NOW! I'm not one to normally leave 'flames'. Most of the time, I wont even bother with a review if I dont like something. But if theres something you can do to better your stories, I'll most likely drop my opinions. Leaving the outlooks on your story..showing what I see are you good and low points is not a flame. It is a critique. Whether or not you can handle the truth is not a reviewers job. I will not insult my own opinions by buttering them up. If you don't like my reviews, deal with it.
I find nothing more amusing than the comment "Well I didnt ask you to read it!" Cause..guess what? You posted it here. Posting a story here is OBVIOUSLY telling people to read it. Thats common sense. If you didn't want me to read it, keep the story to yourself. Now, if you dont want me to REVIEW..then state that clearly. I wont go against someone clearly stating they dont WANT critism. But that leads me to this..why the heck not? Nobody is perfect, and everyone needs help. If you love your story, why not consider others thoughts? Its a great feeling to know you've bettered yourself. If its merely for your OWN enjoyment and you dont give a damn who likes it..then print out your story and keep it to yourself. Tinuel out! poof
