I recently created a video and posted it on YouTube. It is for my story, "Hear No Evil" in the Twilight ficdom. It does contain spoiler material for the upcoming plot, so if you don't want to be clued in to anything whatsoever, avoid watching! My Youtube account is http://www.youtube.com/user/BlueSea14. The video should be there, I hope. And if it's not, then tell me, please! :)
Basic Information About Me:
LiveJournal: http://bookworm-rose.livejournal.com/
Pel's Site: http://www.ramblingsandthoughts.com/twilight/index.php Same name, and I'm putting 'Sunrise' there - slowly but surely! :D
I am a junior in high school. My goal on this site is to improve my writing. If you think something needs to be worked on in my stories, tell me! I can't improve if you don't! Even if it's the smallest grammar, spelling or punctuation mistake, I want to know!
No real surprise: I love reading. I used to sit by a bench at my elementary school and read books at recess, from LOTR and Harry Potter to...well, anything. I really will read almost any book that lands under my nose, unless I get about one chapter in and find that I can't stand trying to understand what is written.
I like swimming, but I don't look good in bathing suits so I usually don't like to be around people when I swim. It's a good thing we have a pool in our backyard. :) I would like to think I am an artsy person; I have enough imagination to see things clearly in my head, but getting the ideas out on paper I absolutely stink at.
I write a lot. I always have a notebook in my backpack and in between classes and after tests, I jot all the story ideas I get through the day. That's when I think of what to update my stories with.
My dad and I like the same bands. And I listen to a lot of different types of music. Here's every artist on my i-Pod. :)

The Random Facts About Me:
1. I am obsessed with Goldfish crackers. 2. I am a chocoholic - and my absolute favorite is M&M's. 3. I have a a small library in my bedroom because almost all of my allowence is spent on books. 4. I have always wanted one of those Dove chocolate roses for Valentine's Day that my mom gets from at least two of her students every year, but I can never find any. 5. I think Governor Schwarzeneggar is an ahole and needs to be kicked out of office, because he's a liar and an idiot. 6. The same sentiment goes to our current Moron-In-Chief, President George W. Bush. 7. I love re-reading books.
Favorite Stories (And TV Shows):
The Twilight series (www.stepheniemeyer.com) . The Harry Potter series. Maximum Ride books (www.maximumride.com). Speak (by Laurie Halse Anderson). Lord Of The Rings (by J R R Tolkein). Mediator series, Princess Diaries, All-American Girl and Ready or Not, Teen Idol, and 1-800-Missing series (all by Meg Cabot). Sabriel, Lireal, and Abhorsen (by Garth Nix). Enchanted Forest Chronicles. Ella Enchanted (by Gail Carson Levine). Cirque du Freak (by Darren Shan). Animorphs. Holes. Halo.
Supernatural. (on Thursdays, the CW. Absolutely the most awesome TV show ever, in a different way than Bones, of course)
Bones. (on Fox. Absolutely the most awesome TV show ever, in a different way than Supernatural, of course)
Personal 'Ship Preferences
Twilight: Canon only for the Cullens and Bella. (With the release of "Breaking Dawn", my story with an Angela/Jake pairing is officially AU and against canon - however, since I started it a long time ago, I want to finish it up in that universe. I'm usually pretty straight-forward canon-shipper, but I also don't like abandoning stories. Therefore - I'm finishing up that trilogy...whenever I finish it...and from then on, it's Jake/Nessie all the way).
Harry Potter:
Relationships I love to read: Harry/Ginny (but never the ones where either of them has died). Ron/Hermione, Remus/Tonks, James/Lily
Relationships I like: Bill/Fleur, Fred/Angelina, George/Alicia, Hermione/Sirius (okay, this one needs a footnote: I like this in a few time-travel fanfics, but ultimately I would chose RW/HG - and I'm guilty of a fic with this pairing, but since it was started before HP and the DH came out I can bend on my usual strict pairings rule of no 'ships not in the story. This is because before DH, Ron/Hermione was not officially a pairing, but a very strongly suggested one).
Relationships that I don't like: Noncannon. (see my Sirius/Hermione footnote - that applies to other relationships as well whenever I chose to read one or not). Slash of any type. (No, I'm not homophobic. I just don't like reading it).
Supernatural: For the love of all things holy, no Wincest! (Again - I'm not homophobic. I just don't like reading incest).
Bones: Booth/Brennan. Hodgins/Angela. (Without exception). :)
