Characters To Glomp

Bleach
Ulquiorra Schiffer (he's like an icicle ... but cute.)
Ishida Uryuu (he sews. no more explanation needed.)
Abarai Renji (gotta love the whole stray dog thing he's got going on.)
Kuchiki Rukia (her kicking skills are ledgendary.)
Inoue Orihime (i don't get why so many people hate her; just cause she gets in the way of precious ichiruki, hime's awesome!)
Grimmjow (yeah, i'm not gonna even try and spell his second name name, but his grin is so creepy it's hot.)

Fruits Basket
Sohma Kureno (love the can't-leave-akito thing, kure's so adorable.)
Sohma Kyo (hot-headed, and just generally hot. but he's such a softy underneathe.)
Honda Tohru (this girl is remarkably happy, despite all the shit that's happened to her.)
Sohma Akito (abusive, possessive, manipulative physco ... what's not to love?)
Sohma Hatsuharu (he's practically a nudist.)

Harry Potter
Remus Lupin (he's so cute! and a werewolf who's constantly on a sugar high.)
Draco Malfoy (loved him in hbp.)
Luna Lovegood (she reminds me of my best mate, to be honest.)

One Piece
Black Leg Sanji (he doesn't get enough credit. he's just as strong and awesome - he only uses his feet and he's a chef! - as zoro, and yet we don't even know what happened to his parents!? bias or what.)
Monkey D. Luffy (how can someone not love him. he's too funny!)
Roronoa Zoro (shitty marimo, love 'im. i'm sure 'north' means 'up', zoro. not as much as sanji, though)
Usopp (the brave warrior of the sea, who just happens to have allergies to everything dangerous.)
Nami (when she stabbed herself in the arm ...)

Ships That Set My Sail

Bleach
Ulquiorra/Orihime (he gave her his heart as he died, aww)
Renji/Rukia (star and stray dog, so much cuter than death and strawberry)
Uryuu/Rukia (yes, I know it's utter crack, but still ... Orihime agrees with me)
Ulquiorra/Grimmjow (so I'm a secret slash fan, sue me. Ulqui is adorable.)
Byakuya/Rukia (they're not actually related)

Fruits Basket
Kyo/Tohru (haha, bullied Yuki/Tohru fans - she picked Kyo!)
Kureno/Akito (the only non-canon FB pairing I ship)
Haru/Rin (only Haru could get through to a girl like Rin)
Yuki/Machi (I was a shipper the moment she threw a paper flower in his face)

Harry Potter
Remus/Sirius (slash again, oh well. puppy love.)
Draco/Hermione (she punched him, and I was a done deal.)
Remus/Lily (it's so cute! it's like nerd love, only she's dead and he's married.)
Draco/Ginny (yeah, so maybe I just like Draco, oh well.)

One Piece
Sanji/Zoro (they've come closer to kissing than any other OP couple - twice. I love 'em. Except when writers think that Sanji will just be all wifey for Zoro. That pisses me off.)
Sanji/Nami (it's so cute! he crashed her wedding - twice!)
Sanji/Ace (all AceSan fans picked up on that smile Ace gave Sanji. And they both set on fire a lot.)

Characters I Want To Drown

Bleach
Kurosaki Ichigo (it's actually just annoying now. at first, the 'unexpected' boosts of power were pretty cool, now it's actually stupid. He shouldn't have won against Byakuya or Ulquiorra. Stupid fucking hollow.)
Kaname Tousen (yep, you are so moral, aren't you, Tou-chan?)

Fruits Basket
Sohma Ren (envious bitch, leave akito alone!)

Harry Potter
Ginny Weasley (why did she suddenly become so perfect?)
Peter Pettigrew (that traitor! wish they'd killed him in poa.)

One Piece
Tashigi (leave zoro alone! sure, his reactions are funny - but i can't stand zotash! go away!)

Ships That Sink Me

Bleach
Ichigo/Rukia (as mates, they're okay, but anytime i read a fic with them as the couple, it's so ooc! just doesn't work for moi.)
Byakuya/Ichigo (twitch. twitch.)
Ichigo/Orihime (her love for him is sweet, but only as a one sided thing. i don't think ichi loves anyone.)

Fruits Basket
Yuki/Tohru (he thinks of her as a mother. she blatantly picked kyo. how can people still think they're in love?)
Hatori/Kana (wish it'd worked out, but he's got someone else now, girly! go away!)
Momiji/Tohru (sorry mate, she's with kyon-kyon now. move on, bunny rabs.)
Kagura/Kyo (as a one sided thing, yes. when she shouted "i really do love you!" in tears, i really felt for her, but he just doesn't like her back.)

Harry Potter
Harry/Draco (just ... shudder.)
James/Lily (i don't know why, but everytime i read them marauder-era, i cringe.)

One Piece
Zoro/Luffy (same as kaname/yuuki. it's incest, damn it. mentally. and it just seems peado-ish, luffy and anyone.)
Zoro/Nami (just wrong on every level; can't see them together at all)
Luffy/Nami (the guy only knows love in the form of meat)

Vampire Knight
Kaname/Yuuki (one word: incest.)

Current Stories
All my stories have some sort of musical influence. Any fic of mine not listed is either completed, or on hiatus. Which is most of them.

Olvidado
Fandom: Bleach.
Character/Pairing: UlquiHime.
Music: Trading Yesterday - The Beauty and the Tragedy. The title itself fits UlquiHime, but the lyric do so even more.
Notes: Due to my fangirl love for Ulquiorra, and that now he'd dead, I need some other way to keep from going into withdrawl.

The Killing Moon
Fandom: One Piece.
Character/Pairing: Sanji and Zoro nakamaship.
Music: Echo and the Bunnymen - The Killing Moon
Notes: I toyed around with the idea of making this yaoi, but in the end decided against it. It'll be good to write something that isn't just about romance. This is Sanji-centric, if only because it's him that gets messed about, but Zoro is certainly a lead role as well. I love the way they interact.

Sometime Around Midnight
Fandom: Twilight.
Character/Pairing: JaspBell
Music: The Airbourne Traffic Event - Sometime Around Midnight
Notes: VERY close to being on hiatus, but I figure I may as well just go ahead. But this comes after all other fics, including oneshots.

Up-coming Stories

Whispers in the Dark
Fandom: One Piece.
Summary: "Just how far would you go to protect Roronoa?"
Character/Pairing: Mihawk/Sanji, Zoro/Sanji
Rating: T.
Music: Skillet - Whispers in the Dark
Length: Oneshot. Maybe more, depending on if anyone's interested really.
Notes: I saw a Mihawk/Zoro fic, and was just thinking to myself (unseriously, obviously), "Mihawk and Zoro? I doubt Sanji would stand for that," and then my brain just sort of swapped Sanji's and Zoro's names.

Tongues Always Pressed to Your Cheeks
Fandom: One Piece.
Summary: Sanji is a slut.
Character/Pairing: Sanji/Zoro, Sanji/Drunk-Strangers.
Rating: T.
Music: 3oh!3 - Don't Trust a Hoe
Length: Oneshot.
Notes: I can just imagine Sanji being a great dancer, and that attracting a lot of attention on a night out. And Zoro's glass breaking. Repeatedly.

Musics Oneshots
Fandom: One Piece.
Notes: I think I'll do one of those shuffle-song-story things again, but all seperate oneshots. Just 'cause I love doing them so, so much.
Music:
Elbow - Grounds for Divorse.
Skillet - Whispers in the Dark.
Placebo - Blind.
Gabriella Cilmi - Sweet About Me.
The Pierces - Secret.

The sorting hat says that I belong in Slytherin!
Said Slytherin, "We'll teach just those whose ancestry is purest."
Slytherin students are typically cunning and hungry for power. Important members include Draco Malfoy (Harry's nemesis), Professor Severus Snape (head of Slytherin), and Lord Voldemort.

I took a quiz called "What's Your One Piece Occupation?" and got the answer: Pirate! Bold and adventurous, you look Death in the eye and laugh. The seas are your home and you wouldn't have it any other way. But don't make the mistake of becoming over confident, being a pirate is not easy. Not only are there rival pirates, there's also marines and bounty hunters who want your head!

I took a quiz called "What's Your One Piece Doujinshi Personality?" and got the result: Nico Robin-type! You're the Thai cafe in a block of Burger Kings, though the chances are you already know this and use it to your advantage at every possible opening. You're smooth, mysterious and like to keep 'em all guessing.

98 of teenagers have smoked weed, if you're one of the 98 who can say they've experienced life, then copy and paste this to your profile.
(seriously now guys, if I first smoked weed when I was thirteen and you lot still haven't ... what the hell you you do at weekends?)

I'm a very opinionated girl for a fourteen-year-old, but that's alrighty in my opinion (see what I mean?) Here's some of my views on life and other such trivial matters:
I don't believe in the Death Penelty and am so happy England doesn't have it. What if you get the wrong person? And what gives you the power to take away another person's life?
I believe in Darwinism and the Big Bang theory, and am also an ignostic in a Catholic family and Protestant country.
I believe in abortion (it's my body to do with what I want. a fetus is a fetus and not a human being. pro-choice) and sex before marrige (for obvious reasons) and condoms and divorse (why stay with someone you don't love?) other such stuff that makes my darling parents scowl.

.o.o.

Name twelve of your favourite characters from a fandom of your choice. (I re-do this, like, every other week. Heh heh.)
Fandom: ONE PIECE! (Yeah, so my favourites are basically the Strawhat crew - how can they NOT be?)
1) Portgas D. Ace 2) Nami 3) Chopper 4) Blackleg Sanji 5) Nico Robin 6) Franky 7) Monkey D. Luffy 8) Roronoa Zoro 9) Brooke 10) Zeff 11) Bon Clay 12) Mihawk

1) Have you read a five/ten fic before?
Robin/Zeff. No. No, I can't say I have ...

2) Do you think three is hot? How hot?
Chopper. Erm, not 'hot'. Cute, perhaps.

3) What would happen if six got one pregnant?
If Franky got Ace pregnant? LOL. Well, Franky might be able to build a womb, you never know.

4) Do you recall any good fics about nine?
Brooke? Yep, Brooke and Sanji starving on an island, but that's all I can remember.

5) Would seven and two make a good couple?
Luffy/Nami. Ah, not in my eyes.

6) Four/eight or four/nine?
Sanji/Zoro or Sanji/Brooke. Do I even have to answer? Sanji/Zoro! My OTP!!

7) What would happen if seven discovered three and eight in a secret relationship?
Luffy discovered Chopper/Zoro. Luffy would scream at Zoro for 'eating' their emergency food supply.

8) Make a summary of at least twenty words for a two/six fic.
Nami/Franky. She may have spent her whole life building walls around her, but who better than the ship's repairman to send them crumbling to the ground? (That was awful. I am so sorry.)

9). Is there such a thing as a four/ten romantic fluff story?
Sanji/Zeff. No, I doubt there is - though, lets be honest, I really hope there isn't. It's just wrong.

10) Suggest a title for a one/five Hurt/Comfort fic.
Ace/Robin. 'Stop the World and Melt'. (Song fics are my thing.)

11. What kind of plot would you use if four wanted to seduce one?
Sanji/Ace. Accept that oh-so-subtle invitation to help with the dishes, and when everyone's gone, dump the bowl of water over his head. No one can resit a wet Sanji. NO ONE.

12. Does anyone on your friends list read number seven het? What about nine slash?
Het Luffy. Slash Brooke. Well, I doubt Luffy knows any love past meat, and Brooke is downright asexual. So, no.

13. If you wrote a songfic about number ten, what song would you chose?
Zeff. Brand New - Play Crack the Sky. Zeff dies, and the Strawhat pirates must pick up the wreckage that once was their cook. (I'm actually working on this, haha.)

14. If you wrote a two/three/six fic, what would the warning be?
Nami/Chopper/Franky. Character death. Because really, for any chance of this, everyone else has got to be dead.

15. What pick-up line might eight use on five?
Zoro use on Robin. "Want to see how I wield my forth sword?"

16. Challenge: Write a drabblefic for ten/eight.
Zeff/Zoro. If I throw in some Sanji, and make it a misunderstanding, then easy peasy.

17) Have you ever read a Six/Eleven fanfic before?
Franky/Bon Clay. choking a bit NO!

18) Do you think Four is hot? How hot?
Sanji. Oh my GOD. Fangirl attack coming on here.

19) What would happen if Twelve got Eight pregnant?
Mihawk got Zoro pregnant - LMAO. Oh, the irony. They could have uber-swordsman babies!

20) Do you recall any fics about Nine? Can you rec any?
Brooke - sure, and they're nearly all of them piss funny.

21) Would two and four make a good couple?
Nami/Sanji. One of my favourite pairings, and the first ship I jumped on in OP. It's hard to write them and keep them both in character, unless you make Nami very enigmatic - which isn't always a bad thing. I don't like fics were she just jumps into his arms, rather ones that take things really slowly. Fluff suits this pairing.

22) Five/Nine or Five/Eleven?
Robin/Brooke or Robin/Bon Clay. Weird to say, but the latter. I can just see it being so funny!

23) What would happen if seven walked in on one and twelve having sex?
Luffy walks in on Ace/Mihawk. Probably laugh and then shout for Zoro.

24) Make up a summary of a Three/Ten Fanfic.
Chopper/Zeff. Adventure finally over, the crew visit the Baratie once more, and Chopper finds out that 'emergency food supply' is a term of affection in this odd make-shift family.

9) Is there any such thing as a One/Eight fluff?
Ace/Zoro. Not that I've read.

10) Suggest a title for a two/eleven tradgey fic.
Nami/Bon Clay. 'Masquerade'.

11) What kind of plot would you use if you wanted Four to de-flower One?
Sanji/Ace. Oh, something tells me it's a bit late for the both of them.

12) Does anyone on your friends list read Seven slash?
(What's this friends list you keep on about? MSN? Then none of them read fanfics.) Luffy slash, that's like the main thing for Luffy, aint it? ZoLu. Personally, I can't stand it, but you know.

13) Does anyone on your friends list read Three het?
Chopper and romance don't go well together. At all.

14) Does anyone on your friends list write or draw Eleven?
Bon Clay. Haha, not that I'm aware of.

15) Would anyone you know write Two/Four/Five?
Nami/Sanji/Robin. As a devouted Sanji-fangirl, I would gladly write out Sanji's one true dream (having the two girls fight over him - screw All Blue!).

16) What might Ten scream at a moment of great passion?
Zeff. Ugh, I'd, erm, rather not think about that. Something about fish?

17) If you wrote a song-fic about Eight, what song would you choose?
Zoro. It'd have to be ZoSan, and I'm writing one atm with the song Unkle Bob - Swans.

18) If you wrote a One/Six/Twelve fic, what would the warning be?
Ace/Franky/Mihawk. Run.

19) What might be a good pick-up line for Ten to use on Two?
Zeff on Nami. "The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree."

20) When was the last time you read a fic about Five?
Robin. Only when it's SaRo, which is pretty rare. So, about a month ago.

21) What is Six's super-secret kink?
Franky. It's all made out of metal down there. And speedo's. Obviously.

22) Would Eleven shag Nine? Drunk or sober?
Bon Clay/Brooke. It's Bon Clay. He'd probably shag anyone who's a guy, and then pretend that they're Sanji while he's at it. And then Brooke would go yohohoho-ing about it to the crew, and Sanji would never sleep again.

23) If Three and Seven get together, who tops?
Chopper/Luffy. Honestly, I don't think Chopper has the, ugh, things vital for such ... acts. You know, being a reindeer and all.

24) "One and Nine are in a happy relationship until Nine suddenly runs off with Four. One, broken-hearted, has a hot one-night stand with Eleven and a brief unhappy affair with Twelve, then follows the wise advice of Five and finds true love with Three." What title would you give this fic?
Ace and Brooke are in a happy relationship until Brooke suddenly runs off with Sanji. Ace, broken-hearted, has a hot one-night stand with Bon Clay and a brief unhappy affair with Mihawk, then follows the wise advice of Robin (of course) and finds true love with Chopper. "Venison Roast."

25) "After drinking too much, four and six get together and four winds up pregnant with twelve. Six runs off with nine, who was previously in a threesome relationship with eight and two. Eight and four turn to each other, but two, feeling betrayed, tries to kill them." What would the outcome of this fic be?
After drinking too much, Sanji and Franky get together and Sanji winds up pregnant with Mihawk. Franky runs off with Brooke, who was previously in a threesome relationship with Zoro and Nami. Zoro and Sanji turn to each other, but two, feeling betrayed, tries to kill them." Zoro would slice up Nami, and in turn get kicked to death by Sanji in revenge. Just before he dies, Zoro learns the truth - that the boy he rasied as his own (Sanji and Franky's kid) is actually Mihawk, the man he's been training so hard to defeat!

26) How would you feel if seven/eleven was canon?
Luffy/Bon Clay. Not all that surprised, if I'm going to be honest.

.o.o.

14/08/2009 i really, really don't want to finish any of the twilight fics i've started ... but i'll feel bad if i don't. writing is writing, i suppose. let this be brain exercise and what not. though i don't know where i'm going with either of them, nor do i have any plans. but, still. perseverance. i'll get round to them, at some point. just ... after the fics i actually enjoy writing. so i'm concentrating on ulquihime and zosan, not jaspbell. sorry guys. a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do.

21/08/2009 okay. i've seen so many people writing on their profiles that their a geek (does anyone actually say that word anymore?) 'cause they like anime and that's utter shit. i like anime and manga, i'm smart and i am in no way a geek-nerd-whatever-you-wanna-call-it. i'm friends with everyone in my year (bar two, those bitches) and i go out and drink and go to all their little parties and who cares if i'm short sighted, i happen to like my glasses (though i only need them to read the whiteboards in school). you guys that think liking anime makes you a nerd need to get some confidence, or something.

and what it all comes down to
is that everything's gonna be fine fine fine
cause i've got one hand in my pocket
and the other one's giving a hi-five
