Name: Tam

Gender: Female

Occupation: student and ff writer. Mostly student and then ff writer when I am not dead from classes...

Likes:I love to read and write, and firmly believe that reading well is the best way to become a better writer. I like quotes, be they from famous people, movies, books, whatever. I like buttons/pins or whatever you refer to them as.

Dislikes:Flames are stupid and rude. I hate it when people write something awful to someone they have never met when probably in real life they would never say something like that. Anonymity breeds incredible cruelty. Overdone angst is also incredibly annoying, except in teeny tiny pieces. Hence why I don't read Twilight (sorry Twilight lovers).

Manga: I like shonen and shojo. Shonen-ai or yaoi is fine, but I don't do hentai or really explicit stuff. I feel like that's just a little too much like porn. I read: Naruto, Alice 19th, Saiyuki (not so much now though...), Offbeat (I'm still waiting on the LAST MANGA...), Chibi Vampire...the list goes on. I might add more later. Oh, and I like The Corda D'Oro. It's cute, if silly that all the boys seem to like the main character.

Books: Harry Potter, Ranger's Apprentice, Sisters Grimm, anything by Tamora Pierce except for the Alanna series, Black Beauty, Sherlock Holmes, ...

Fandoms: Harry Potter and Sisters Grimm for the moment. Also Mythology.

What I might write in future?

I have loads upon loads of ideas in my head, some of which I have written down. I would like to write them all, but who knows...school and all.

I'm planning on putting up stuff over the summers. I will probably continue writing during the year though.

My OC's: Sasha/Nachshon/Nach. Apolla and her mom from my HP story "Apolla." There are others yet to come.
