My opinion on Flames and Constructive Criticism:

Flames: It has recently come to my attention that there is a pantheon of people who go around and flame Mary Sue stories. They say they do it because they are sick and tired of slogging through Mary Sue fics. I have one question about that theory. If you are so sick and tired of it, then why do you go, read the fics, then flame them?I don't get it. If you really want to get your point across that they suck, DON'T read their story and DON'T review it. The worst thing you can do to them, is not flames, but not review period. No reviews is a lot worse then flames.

Constructive Criticism: The term Constructive Criticism is an Oxymoron. Constructive means to bring them up; build them up. Criticism means to bring them down. Believe me, you are doing only one of the two. Criticism.

Remember that my opinion is just that; an opinion. Just because I post it on the internet doesn't make me right! So, my opinion above, could be right; could be wrong. Thank you for reading my rant. You may now get on with your lives. :)

My Stories

In Progress/Hiatus:

Pillar of Light- When Katara and Zuko are plagued by troubling dreams, what extremes will they go to to find out what they mean? and more importantly, what will they hold in store for them, when they do?

Lord of the Rings Avatar style part 1- The ring of power has been found, and Souzen has unleashed his armies. Now, A fellowship must protect Aang, the ring bearer, in his quest to destroy it. Attention! I am thinking of rewriting this story, cause I reread it the other day. And I thought it sucked. It just didn't flow. So, tell me if I should rewrite it or if you like it the way it is. PLEASE RESPOND! I can't read minds (although I am pretty good sometimes) so I would really like to know what you amazing reviewers think. It would be much appreciated.

Stepping Stones of Life and Death- Katara is wounded on the battlefield and Aang keeps her company in her darkest moment. Songfic.
