upcoming work:
Unbreakable
Legend says that there was once a great love between the spirits Agni and Tui, but a jealous spirit ripped them apart. Gifted with partial telepathy from an air spirit, they were able to talk to one another in their minds. Now Tui has passed the power on to her children in whose destiny she foresaw an impossible love, and a very young, blue-eyed waterbender is one of the few over the centuries to be blessed with it.
Name: Jenn
Age: 21
Location: East Tennessee, U.S.
Job: Diehard Avatar freak, avid Zutara fanfic writer, part-time fanartist, full-time assembly line worker at USi, and most importantly, a mom. I'm also the owner of the Avatar fansite, Bluetarako. That's Blue Spirit, Katara, and Zuko in case you didn't catch that.
Likes: Avatar (obviously), playing with my 2-year old daughter Kaybri, watching movies, studying martial arts, meditating (you wouldn't believe how relaxing it is), stargazing, full moons, dancing in the rain, music, writing, drawing, singing, playing instruments, internet, Tim Burton movies, Dante Basco (yum!), Myspace, dressing up in goth cuz it's hott lol, the color purple, Hot Topic, Fuck the Mainstream site, M. Night Shyamalan for having the guts to make Avatar his first kids movie (I hope it doesn't suck!), my website above, funny words like "plop" and "gurgle" lmao, and it goes on from there.
Dislikes: Close-minded people, our stupid president, the war, rap, country, Tennessee, people who hate me and don't have a valid reason, odd numbers except for 3 and 7 (I know that's really freaking weird, but what can I say), gay-bashers, preps, posers, fake people, stuck-up rich snobs, spoiled people, reality shows, all the damn rich people with their own reality shows (as if they're not rich enough), my younger sister Heather, MTV, animal abuse, I think I'll stop there.
Music: Metallica, Copper (the guitar player is my friend :D), shadowWax, Slipknot, Mudvayne, Faktion, Smile Empty Soul, Seether, Evanescence, Lacuna Coil, Vertigo, Otep, Nirvana, As They Sleep (I'm their promoter, check out their Myspace and tell them I sent you!), 3 Doors Down, Three Days Grace, Adema, Ill Nino, Jonas Brothers, Hinder, Nickelback, Chevelle, Taproot, A Perfect Circle, Tool, Papa Roach, Trust Company, Chimaira, Fear Factory, Bush, 10 Years, wow that's alot.. there's more, but I won't go on for your sake.
I'm hoping to make some kind of an impact on the writers for the show with my stories so it'll go in that direction. I have a baby girl named Kaybri who actually watches the show with me and even helps me write some (yay for me!). She just turned 2, by the way. I spend most of my time writing and playing with her, but every once in a while I'll get away from the keyboard and pick up my sketchpad and draw fanart (no longer just Zutara or Avatar due to my much love for other ships and shows). If you have a Myspace, I always appreciate more friends! My last name is Martin if you want to add me.
My deviantART account! Check it out! Awesome fanart and I've recently posted Fire Behind Blue Eyes there and even updated it just a little, so if you want the better and more updated version of the story, check it out!
You should feel lucky if you're on my favorite stories list. Even more so if you're on my favorite authors list. It takes some damn good writing to get on my lists. I mean, I subscribe to alot of stories that I think have potential, but like I said, it takes some damn good writing. Don't feel bad if you're not on it, just read more stories and keep writing and that alone can improve your writing skills. See how far mine have come since Blue and Gold? It works that well, I'm telling you lol.
Jamie Hasaku has pointed out in a recent chapter of her fanfic story, "When The Mask Comes Off", that she discovered the perfect Zutara song and I completely agree with it. It's perfect!! It's called "Far Away" by Nickelback. If you've never heard the song, here are the lyrics:
This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know,
you know, you know
CHORUS
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore
On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up
'Cause you know,
you know, you know
CHORUS
So far away
Been far away for far too long
So far away
Been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know
I wanted
I wanted you to stay
'Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go
I told you it was perfect!! (happy dance) I even did a songfic with it in Drabbles, Anyone? so go read that and spread the word!
