Hi everybody this is authoress brightredcherries!!

Here's my 1st homepage (since I changed it):

www.freewebs.com/strawberry_anzu

Name: Kendall

Nicknames: not any news ones as of now...

Age: 16

Favorite Anime: Yu-Gi-Oh, Yu-Gi-Oh GX, Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's

Favorite Book Series: Harry Potter, The Specialists, The Series of Unfortunate Events, The House of Night is the BEST VAMPYRE SERIES EVER!!

Favorite Anime characters and pairings:

Atemu x Tea= All time fav, the best of the best!!

Joey x Mai= so so

Tristan x Serenity= mmmm hmmm

Rebecca x Yugi= Second best

Harry Potter pairings...

HarryxGinny

HermionexRon

AngelinaxFred

PenelopexPercy

LunaxNeville

GX pairings...

Alexis x Chazz= The best hands down...no questions asked!!

Alexis x Jaden= It's aight, not my all time fav, but still a fav and it's aight!

Jaden x Blair= OMG!! They are so cute together!!

Alexis x Zane= Hmmmmmm, it's second best to Alexis x Chazz

Jasmine x Jim= I don't know why, I just really think that they look good together.

5D's pairings...

Yusei x Akiza (Aki)= They are the most noticeable and possible couple in the entire series! Totally number 1!

Jack x Carly= This pairing is my second favorite...

Luna x Dexter= I don't even know why I put this...I really don't know who Luna likes so...yeah...

House of Night...

Zoey x Stark= I change my mind, I love this couple a lot after reading Tempted!!

Shaunee x Cole= Even though they aren't described to often, Shaunee's blackness will totally rock Cole's world!!

Erin x T.J.= I don't know if they're going out but T.J. should totally hit Erin up!!

Couples that are okay:

GX...

Alexis x Edo= Well, like I've said it's okay. Not my fav, but it's sort of cute.

Jasmine x Chazz= Ummmm, idk about this one...okay though.

5D's...

Jack x Mina= I mean, they're kind of cool, but I just see their relationship as more of a work thing; if she doesn't keep him in check, then she's going to lose her job. Basically, from what I see in the series, Mina is sort of someone that Jack can talk to because he doesn't really have any other friends. They have more of a brother and sister relationship, even though further into the Japanese version he sees her as a pest because she's jealous that he's focused on Carly.

Couples that I dislike (Hate is a cruel word):

YGO...

Good Bakura x Tea= It's not that I hate this one it's just they weren't meant to be!!

Atemu x Shizuka= Who came up with this one?? I would really like to know please (no offense to whomever likes this paticular pairing).

Yami bakura x Tea= this pairing is just straight up stupid!! That's all I have to say, but I'm sorry to those who like this one, but it's straight up stupid!!

Seto x Tea= (really gay! Seto belongs wih Kisara) and I proved my point exactly!!

GX...

Chazz x Blair= They obviously do not, I mean DO NOT get along!!

Alexis x Jesse= No offense but the wouldn't really click like the other characters, they're just friends.

Alexis x Hell Kaiser Zane= My views on this one is has changed because well, some fics of this couple are biased. Like some people perceive him to be cruel against her and forceful, others believe there's good within him, but he's just being stubborn about it.

Alexis x Syrus= I'm not bashing Syrus when I say this but he's really too shy to ask her out, plus he likes DMG so he's pretty much taken (he says).

Harry Potter...

Harry x Hermione= It may be easy for people who have never read the series assume that just because Hermione is the most common female protagonist that she and Harry might get together sometime down the road but that ends up not happening, he ends up in love with Ginny. Like J.K. Rowling said in her interview...'Harry and Hermione? It's Ron and Hermione' (that was paraphrased).

Ginny x Draco= For one thing Ginny doesn't like Draco in the first place, and secondly Draco hates the Weasley's all together from them being blood traitors.

Hermione x Draco= Ummmm, he constantly calls her a 'Mudblood' because she happens to be smarter and more intellegent and not as spoiled and immature like he is. If they were ever in an arguement, Hermione would win no if ands about it!!

Harry x Cho= Obviously, they're not that...idk cute together like him and Ginny.

5D's...

none...I mean, Jack x Akiza (Aki) could be one, but it's painfully obvious from the series so far that they wouldn't be together. They don't like each other.

House of Night...

Zoey x Loren= Whenever you people read the third House of Night book...you'll know why I hate this couple/pairing.

Zoey x Erik= I think for those who are reading Hunted and Tempted, you'll understand why.
