NewMoonFlicker - FanFiction.Net

Heyya! ((enthusiastic wave to anyone dropping by))
I figure it's time for me to update this, it's been forever (stinking internet connections, grrr... :D)
I write under the name NewMoon, though you can just call me Ari if you wish. I'm 21, currently living in Idaho, cleverly disguised as a responsible adult - love to write, read, and draw almost anything. I do take requests for writing, and drawing - I have done artwork for CaptainKase (GO READ HER WORK IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY - IT'S AMAZING!) and will for anyone who asks me! I am also a severe yaoi/yuri/incest avoider - I will not read it, write it, beta it, or support it. Do not ask me to write it, I will be most upset. Simple as that. Aye?
I don't have many stories out or in the works and don't know if I ever will, but I do currently have one story for Inuyasha out (Listening Sunshine) and two for FMA (Breathe With Me and Reckless) with another story or two in the works. I'm hoping I'll have those done soon! Until then, I'll be around, searching for good stories and awesome writers. :)

For every one hundred men you send us,
Ten should not even be here.
Eighty are nothing but targets.
Nine of them are real fighters;
We are lucky to have them, they the battle make.
Ah, but the one. One of them is a warrior.
And he will bring the others back.
~ Heraclitus, 500 BC
~For my big brother~
I love you Don!

Full Metal Alchemist ~
"Tell me Wrath, if you take my limbs and attach them to your body, do you really think that will make you a human being? I have artifical limbs and Al's a suit of armor, but our souls make us human. That's something you'll never have!" -Edward Elric
"Who are you calling a half-pint bean sprout midget?! I'm still growing you backwater desert idiots!" -Edward Elric
"When I was certain he was going to kill me, my mind went blank, and I didn't have any hope anymore. All I could do was scream my lungs out. I felt so helpless; I couldn't even bring myself to believe someone might save me. And then you showed up Al, and I realized that if we doing take care of each other, then no one else will. So I'll do anything in my power to get our bodies back, even if it means being the military's lap dog. And we'll just have to hope our powers are good enough to help us rise above our own limits. Becuase we're not gods, we're humans, tiny insignificant humans... who couldn't even save a little girl." -Edward Elric

He turned his back on the teachings of Ishbala to immerse himself in the sacrilege of alchemy instead, and even though I knew he gave me his arm to save my life, still there was no room in my hate-filled heart for forgiveness. But the Elric brothers... they live only for each other. Seeing their love for each other, it made me want to say those words myself. Brother... I love you." -Scar
"I know Equivalent Exchange is true. If it's childish to believe in this, so be it. I'd rather be considered a child than follow a doctrine of cynicism and choas. Apathy - I thought I didn't care Dad, that I didn't have to believe in things, but I was wrong." -Edward Elric (emphasis added)
