Pen Name: Geek Squared 1307
Welcome to my little corner of the infinite Multiiverse. My love of writing and conquest have lead me to obtaining a place where I can be creative and share my ideas with others who have similar interests. Before I write more about myself, I would like to thank a good friend who also writes on this site under the pen name Sins of Angels. She is awesome and encouraged me to post my writing on this site.
Currently, I am nineteen years old. I am a second-year college student majoring in pharmacy. I am a self-proclaimed geek who loves books, especially those of the fantasy and/or science fiction genres. I love Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, and X-Men, just to name a few. Writing is my favorite hobby. I think that writing is a great way to not only tell great stories but also to express my opinions. Through my writing, I can be creative and make myself heard.
That being said, I would like to take this opportunity to post some information about my fanfiction.
Although not all my fanfiction is of the romance genre, romance-genre stories that I write are usually slash. For those who do not know, slash means same-sex pairings. I know that there are those who may find such stories offensive, and my intention in writing is not to offend, but to share my ideas. For those who would be okay with reading slash stories, please know that most of my stories contain nothing too, er, explicit, shall we say. The most characters ever do is kiss and, of course, say "I love you." There may besome slight language, mostly of the hell/damn variety, and maybe some jokes that very little children may not understand.
In Harry Potter and X-Men, there is a clear message of accepting people who are different. Harry and his friends face the prejudiced ideas of those who think that Muggle-borns, such as Hermione, and half-breeds, such as Lupin, are inferior to pure-bloods like the Malfoys. The X-Men are trying to make the world realize that mutants should not be feared for being different. Just having powers doesn't make them good or bad; what they do with their powers determines if they are good or bad. My intent in writing slash romance stories is to express my opinion that the love between two people of the same gender can be just as real and wonderful as the love between a guy and a girl, a message which I think fits in very well with this idea. For anyone who is opposed to slash pairings: please don't read my romance stories. However, feel free to read my non-romance stories.
Also, since I am writing about characters from fanasy/science fiction/superhero stories, some fanfiction will contain violence. I am one of those people who loves the fight scenes in books and movies.
Please feel assured that I will rate all fanfiction to the best of my ability. Again, my intentions are to be creative and share ideas. Now, on to less serious topics...after all, who can be serious in a Universe that thrives on chaos.
Some of my thoughts on writing:
Everyone has their own reasons for reading and writing and thier own opinions about what makes a good book. The way I know I've found a good book is when I can make myself at home in it, when the characters seem as real as the people I see every day, and I can feel what they feel. To me, the idea behind reading is not only to be distracted from the real world for a little while -- although that is no doubt a benefit at certain times -- but todiscover a whole other Universe that seems as real as ours. If I write fanfiction based upon a book or movie, it means that it is one of the Universes I have stumbled across and fallen in love with. Writing fanfiction is my way to explore these Universes that I love and keep a part of them safe in my heart.
When I write my own original stories, it is my attempt to create Universes of my own-to add the ideas of my own mind to the mass chaos that is existence.
Here is a list of my stories:
1. "Why You Don't Want Me To Be Your Boyfriend": The entire title of this story is "Harry Potter's Why You Don't Want Me To Be Your Boyfriend," but the title box would not let me type the entire title. The story takes place post-Book Seven. Basically, after Harry defeats Lord Voldemort, lots of people want to go out with him. Members of the We Love Harry Potter Fan Club even try to break down the door of the Hospital Wing to get to him. The truth is that Harry is already in a relationship. When Professor McGonagall announces that there will be a Grand Ball in Harry's honor on his birthday, Harry gets an idea. He writes an article called Why You Don't Want Me To Be Your Boyfriend, which Luna's father publishes in the Quibbler, and in which says that he's already in a relationship, hoping that the crazy fans will leave him alone. Hewrites that the person he's going out with will be his date to the ball. Who does Harry love? Read to find out. Note: I posted this story before, but was later informed of and noticed some errors and contradictions within it. Because of my eagerness to post my first fanfiction, I hadn't edited properly. Therefore, I deleted it, edited it, and posted it again.
2. "Mythical Beings, Real Love": This is a one-shot love story between Scott and Angel. They come back to the Institute after a date and have a late-night, heart-felt conversation. It's sweet and funny, and just might make you laugh, cry, and go "Aww," all at the same time. Note: I posted this story before under the title "Mythological Beings, Real Love," but later noticed some errors due to a lack of editing. Therefore, I deleted the story, did some editing, and posted it again.
3. "Of Fire and Ice": This is a story of the romance between Bobby and John, in which their powers present an obstacle in their relationship. There is also a pairing of Scott and Logan, who become friends with Bobby and John. While all of these relationship issues are going on, the cure is gaining support, and mutants must fight for their rights. This is my first multi-chapter story.
Here are some quotes I find inspiring, funny, or otherwise interesting. Thanks again to Sins of Angels for the idea.

Although humans do not live forever, we members of mankind can achieve a more meaningful type of immortality by doing things worth remembering and writing thing worth reading. Happy reading and writing.
May the Force be with you.
