Interests:

Drawing, Writing, Reading, Watching Teen Titans

Inspiration:

The whole reason I came to this website was looking for Teen Titans stories. Now I'm writing them!

Goal:

I want to be a teacher.

As you can tell, I'm a huge Teen Titans fan. Mainly a BB/RAE fan. You will soon realize this if you even glance at my stories.

Reasons for paring:

I love this paring because of the simple fact that it makes perfect sense. I know that Beast Boy obviously had a crush on Terra and Raven loved Malcior, but think about it; Who is always there for them, how many episodes have Beast Boy and Raven involved in some way, and have you ever noticed that they blush every time anything happens between them; I mean, Raven never blushes, how is it that only Beast Boy can make her do that? The only other time I have EVER seen her blush that wasn't in front of Beast Boy was the time Terra ran past her and she got those flashes.

Plus think about it; Raven is never THAT mean to anyone (Look at her meet other people in other episodes, ie. Kole), she may be cold, but not mean (except maybe when she's a little annoyed with Beast Boy), but suddenly she is being a total bitch to Terra. Any explanations? And look at Beast Boy's reaction when both Raven AND Terra are in the same frame in 'Titans Rising'. I could point out SOOOO much more, but I'll stop now...Okay, just one more.

In 'Date with Destiny' while they are retaining the moths, and after Robin crushes the controller, you can see that as the bugs fall to the floor Beast Boy pops out from Raven's cloak. My question is, why would Raven alow him under there if she disliked him completely? And why would he go under there unless he didn't find comfort there. Sorry, I just couldn't resist telling you all this, and let me tell you, If you want more of what I agree with, you need to check out

First of all, his stories are amazing, and second of all, I absolutely agree with ALL of his opinions.

Ps. I know there is alot of turmoil over the whole 'The End' episode where when Raven is still a little girl she jumps over the limp form of Beast Boy and goes strait to Robin. Now You all may think 'oh, its because she loves him, thats why' but here's my theory.

Raven is a little kid, right? Who do little girls go to when they're scared? They're dad. Robin acts like a father figure to Raven throughout the entire thing, like a protector. Plus at that age, how could Raven remeber her feelings for Beast Boy? She's just a little girl after all, and I'm sure she barely remembers Rob. She said so, in fact. Well, thats my theory, anyway.

Parings I approve of:

BB/RAE-Beast Boy and Raven don't belong with anyone else. I loath what Terra did to him, so this is the closest to any romance I think he will ever get, that I approve of. And believe it or not, the parring has grown on me. Alot.

ROB/STAR-Truthfully I really don't care about Robin or Starfire. In fact, I probably could care less what happened to them. But they are the only ones that should absolutely be together. All of the signs are there, so they can never be with anyone other then themselves.

CY-I don't think Cyborg should be with anyone. He seems more like the big brother of the group to me. But, if he must, he should find a nice civilian girl.

Main fics I enjoy:

I like Beast Boy if, for some strange reason, you missed my username. I enjoy reading fics that include him being hurt, depressed, or damaged in some way (EX: Losing his memory). I know I am a horrible person to like those things, but I like to see my favorite character suffer. If you know of any and I mean ANY stories like that please email it to me. I get bored easily so I need fics to entertain me. If you send it to me and I like it I will send you a 'thank you' email and will review to the story and add it to my fav list. Even if I don't like it I will send you a 'thank you' letter and send them a review. Please I need entertainment!!!! I will also be posting this message at the beginning of the last chapter in my story when I get around to finishing it. Thank you for your time.

PS. I also enjoy comedies, future fics and ANGSTY stories. Seriously, if you have any, PLEASE send them. Please? -whimper-

Things I can’t stand to read in a story:

Nicknames. Now nicknames can be fine when someone is talking, and, they may be fine when they are thinking sometimes. But when someone uses it in the following way, I just can’t stand it.

“So what are we going to do?” Rae asked BB as they walked down the hall. They met Cy on their way, and all of a sudden he asked about Star and Rob’s whereabouts.

Now this is obviously exaggerated, but seriously. Try not to use nicknames unless someone is speaking them. It just doesn’t sound right and it makes the writer look unprofessional.

So, what are we going to do?” Raven asked Beast Boy as they walked down the hall. They met Cyborg on their way, and all of a sudden he asked about Starfire and Robin.

On a side note, Just so EVERYONE knows, Raven and Starfire DO NOT call others by nicknames. This is one of the things that gets on my nerves in this catogory. Starfire is gramaticly correct EVER TIME so if anything she'd say their names to the fullest extent, if not adding Friend to the begining of it. Raven is not going to degrade herself by calling someone their nickname, because she hates being called one herself. There are exemptions, though. Happy Raven can call them by nicknames, and SOMETIMES if Raven is like, dating Beast Boy or something, then she SOMETIMES calls him BB. Sometimes. Starfire will not EVER say 'Friend BB' or something to that extent with anyone. It really is annoying, so please dont do it. It ruins the air of the story. Really.

Over using names/not using them enough. This is very annoying. If you use a person’s whole name in every sentence, or use pronouns too commonly, you confuse the reader or the writing seems tacky and annoying. Here are 2 examples.

1. Raven ran through the halls. Raven began to slow, seeing Beast Boy. Raven stopped completely and kissed Beast Boy. Raven and Beast Boy seemed to stay that way for awhile before breaking apart as Starfire came across Raven and Beast Boy.

2. She ran through the halls. She began to slow, seeing him. She stopped completely and kissed him. They seemed to stay that way for awhile before breaking apart as she came across them.

Now, the pronoun one can work for a certain amount of time if your going for mysterious, but you should add a few names in there eventually or you will confuse someone, most likely everyone. 1 is how I would write it if I was going for normal and 2 is how I would go for interesting and more complex.

1. Raven ran through the halls. She began to slow, seeing Beast Boy. She stopped completely and kissed him. They seemed to stay that way for awhile before breaking apart as Starfire came across them.

2. She ran through the halls. Her pace began to slow as soon as she saw him. She stopped completely, and kissed him. He didn’t argue, and deepened the kiss. They seemed to stay that way, Raven wrapped in Beast Boy’s arms, until Starfire came across them.

Doesn’t that make much more sense now, though?

Repetitive grammar mistakes. Now I can understand if you don’t have a spell check or something, but if you make constant mistakes, not only in using the same words but in capitalization and punctuation, it gets on the reader’s nerves and most of the time they’ll stop reading before the end of the chapter.

“how are us gonna be doin this. asked robin to starfire. ‘there defnses are too strongs We cant beet them.” his mask lifted up and down as he speak.

Once again, over exaggerated, but you should get the point. At least go over it afew times to make sure your tenses are correct, that you have everything that needs to be capitalized done so, and try to make sure you have your words spelled right. If you don’t have a spell check, I suggest you get a beta reader. They do wonders, and they never criticize your work. I would love to be a beta reader, so if anyone needs help, don’t hesitate to ask.

“How are we going to do this?” asked Robin, directing the comment to Starfire. “Their defenses are to strong. We can’t beat them.” His mask bobbed up and down as he spoke.

Repeating words. I am just as guilty as anyone, unfortunately. I over use Suddenly, constantly, but I am trying to fix this. If you need any proof of this, check out ‘The Fading Light’. I so need to fix that story.

He suddenly found himself wrapped suddenly around a pole suddenly. Just as suddenly he saw his captor as he suddenly stepped out of the shadows.

For once, this isn’t an over dramatization. I actually have written this sentence for one of my older stories, which has fortunately been edited since. It does happen, but there is an easy way to fix this problem. Get a thesaurus. Use one on the computer, a hand held one, what ever. You can even ask a beta reader to help with words. Remember, the more unique words you use in your story the more interested the readers will be.

He found himself wrapped around a pole unexpectedly. Just as abruptly he saw his captor as he suddenly stepped from the shadows.

See! One suddenly will do. Just not more than one, at least per a chapter.

Underly descriptive/incomplete sentences. Okay, if you don’t have any description in your sentences you may confuse the reader. For example:

He flew. He stood by her now, staring.

Now I know this is a perfectly fine sentence, but it has no substance. You may just want to say ‘He flew.’ but if you don’t add any details then your reader may think it’s too bland. The sentence seems to be fragmented too. Also, the reader may get confused to why all of a sudden he is by her. And why is he staring at her?

He flew to her, quicker that he ever imagined possible. He stood by her, staring down sadly.

This gives the reader an image to go on now, and by adding this they can picture the scene properly.

Overly descriptive sentences. Now I know I just lectured about descriptiveness. But if you over do it, the reader may get a bit bored before the end of the sentence.

The beautiful, wonderful, excellently dressed gothic dark girl stood, slowly walking over to the door, which was very large and very far away, glancing back at every step, making sure that nothing was wrong.

Now say that sentence 5 times fast without taking a deep breath every 6 seconds. There is just to much detail in the sentence. You could break it into little sentences, and they would make perfect sense then. And way too many descriptive words get redundant very quickly. Some words aren’t even relevant.

The beautiful girl stood. She slowly walked to the large door, glancing back at every step, making sure everything was the same as before.

That may even be a bit much. Still, the concept remains the same. Don’t overly describe.

One big paragraph for everything. This may be the most annoying of all of them. I cant stand it when everything is squeezed in one big paragraph. Even when different people speak. Here is an excerpt from my story with no new paragraphs.

“Friend Raven, I must insist, you need to rest! How will you be able to sustain your energy if you do not-”

“I don’t need to sleep. I need to be here. I need to watch him. I can’t go.” Raven’s voice was clearly exhausted, as was she, but she refused to relinquish her position. She would not leave him, no matter what. He would never be taken from her again, so long as she lived. Never again.” Raven, if you don’t sleep how will you be able to take care of him? If you fall asleep and something happens…” Her eyes widened, turning to find the speaker of these accusative words. They stopped on her leader, giving him a glare frightening enough to scar even the bravest man.” What are you trying to say? That I’m not responsible enough to take care of him?! If anything, Rob-bin, I am the most qualified, and if you even thin-”

“Raven, I didn’t mean that. I just meant that if something happened and you weren’t in your best physical and mental states then you could, possibly, might make a small mistake…could.” Raven looked at the frightened boy, still making an effort to get her to rest, and glanced back at the boy who held her heart. She was about to respond when she was overtaken by the need to yawn, and did so. Cyborg took this opportunity to convince her while she was quieted. “Don’t worry, Raven. We can handle him. You need to get some rest. Go.” She sighed, stifling another yawn. She raised her head up to face him. “Fine, but so help you if anything happens while I’m gone and you don’t tell me…” and with that she took one receding glance at the boy lying stilly in the bed, and left for her room.

What annoys me the most is people randomly decide to add a space where every they feel like. When someone tries to read that, they are easily lost, end up getting confused very easily and may begin to get a headache by the time they finish. Here it is with all the normal spacing.

“Friend Raven, I must insist, you need to rest! How will you be able to sustain your energy if you do not-”

“I don’t need to sleep. I need to be here. I need to watch him. I can’t go.” Raven’s voice was clearly exhausted, as was she, but she refused to relinquish her position. She would not leave him, no matter what. He would never be taken from her again, so long as she lived. Never again.

“Raven, if you don’t sleep how will you be able to take care of him? If you fall asleep and something happens…” Her eyes widened, turning to find the speaker of these accusative words. They stopped on her leader, giving him a glare frightening enough to scar even the bravest man.

“Raven, I didn’t mean that. I just meant that if something happened and you weren’t in your best physical and mental states then you could, possibly, might make a small mistake…could.” Raven looked at the frightened boy, still making an effort to get her to rest, and glanced back at the boy who held her heart.

Now isn’t that ten times better? All you need to remember is whenever someone new speaks, start a new paragraph. You can never have to small of a paragraph here, and when you have more it seems to lengthen the story. Especially if you have a very short story. Now I’m not saying start a new paragraph every sentence, but try to start one every time the subject changes. Even if it’s a small change. I’ll make it easier to read. I promise.

Switching Tense. Oh, my god, this is one of the worst. You may have written an excellent story, filled with wonderful details and amazing descriptions, and yet has constantly switching tenses. Here’s an example.

He sat in the dining room, sneaking glances at her whenever he thinks it safe. He is looking at her when she suddenly looks at him. She is beginning to yell at him for staring, but then notices his eyes. She thought to her self, Wow, those are beautiful. They continue staring until Robin sees them.

“What’s wrong?” They both shake their heads violently and blush. Robin smiles knowingly. Raven excused herself quickly, rushing from the room.

Now look at this.

He sat in the dining room, sneaking glances at her whenever he though it safe. He’s looking at her when she suddenly looked at him. She began to yell at him for staring, but then noticed his eyes. She thought to her self, ‘Wow, those are beautiful.’ They continue staring until Robin saw them.

“What’s wrong?” They both shook their heads violently and blush. Robin smiled knowingly. Raven excused herself quickly, rushing from the room.

Now THAT is better. I personally enjoy reading past tense, because it seems to flow better. Present tense is a bit difficult to write well and is generally used with beginners. I have read quite a few present tense stories, though, so it can be done. You just have to work extra hard.

I’ll continue to add to this list as I come up with more god awful sins to writing.

Ps. Just so you all know, we all make these mistakes, its just fixing them before you post the story that gets some people.

Fictions I have completed

The Fading Light:

This story is my first work. I admit it is very simple and not very well written. I am attempting to fix this. I am currently editing this story for the FORTH time. Yes, that is a lot. See, I suck at seeing mistakes. Until I have ALREADY updated the story and think its finally perfect, that is. I will continue (probably my entire boredom time) to re- and re-edit the story. No drastic changes (probably), but I have drastically changed Chapter 6 on my Second editing, so who knows. But if I do make a big change I will inform the public. Not that the public really cares...Any way, I'm sure that you want to here the story behind the story, right? RIGHT?!?! Well, if you've made it this far through my rant, I wont disappoint.

This story actually came to me in a dream. Ohhh, surprise, surprise. Yea, I know. The first five chapters came at least. I jotted them down, and then (me being the primitive mind I am) presumed to 'think' the rest up. Now how I did this was by lying down in my darkened bedroom and closed my eyes. I thought this would give me a good idea for the story, but all it did was give me a headache. Yay.

So anyway, I later typed the first chapters and (later when I actually found this site) posted them. Hence the reason they are extremely short. And the rest are 2- to 3-times longer then them.

Originally I had planned to in no way what so ever involve the 'thieves again, but when I was out of ideas, I talked with my mom and she wondered about them. So hence that came around.

Now this may really scare you...or not. Now when I began this story I was still in the phase where I was like, "Ohhh, Beast Boy loves Terra, and he would love her forever! I think she was a hero, I mean, come on, she saved the city! What a great gal, too bad she turned to stone..." Kinda think. I know, SOOOOOOO scary. Uggg...That’s why this has him thinking Terra would be 'the only one who would listen'. Sad, I know. But I am slowly converting it to a BB/RAE. I am adding sooooooo much fluff you wouldn't believe. I will be adding a new paragraph to Chapter 11 in the section where Johnson comes to get him.

Speaking of Johnson, I want to say that I had no intention in making an OC. None whatsoever. It just happened, and I must admit I went a bit overboard. Okay, maybe more than a bit, but it was my first time, give me a break!

If I come up with any more 'Behind the Scenes' for this story I will add it later. I promise.

Untitled:

Okay, this was a project for Language Arts. I needed to come up with original poetry, so I wrote about the things I loved: Raven and Beast Boy. I actually enjoy writing poems over stories, for one they are a heck of a lot easier to end, and two they can be as short as you want. Unfortunately no one really likes poetry, so that dream sorta went out the window. I would rather write something difficult for me to write and have more people enjoy it than write something that comes to me easily and have people snuff their noses at it. By the way, I got a B on it, but that was the total project. I'm not very good at illustrating. ; )

Also, I have not 'finished' this fic, but it could be finished at any time, so...

Beauty and the...Raven?:

This, once again, was a school project. I made this for my mastery teacher, for one of those 'Fractured Fairytales'. If you don't know what that is, go ahead and ask, but I'm pretty sure you can figure it out by reading the story. I never got a grade back for this one...peculiar...

Heads or Tails?:

This story was made on a whim. I had tried earlier to make something similar, but I couldn't get a good story with it, at least not until I read Hell Hath no Fury by DarkSideOfBlue. I am both happy and disappointed with my results. Happy because I like the fact that I made a workable story with it, but disappointed because I had originally wanted it to be Beast Boy instead of Raven. Oh well. You can’t win them all.

Cant live without you...

This is one of the fics I am most proud of. Three of my pics on deviant art are dedicated to this story, and anyone could identify them by the CLWY next to their names. I will post them, just to make you all happy, though. Remember, you have to get rid of the spaces.

(Chapter 4) http://bbissocute.deviantart.com/ art/ Here-for-you-62203465

Its funny, when I started this story, I wanted it to be Raven instead of Beast Boy. I was just gonna make it a small oneshot, like the beginning chapter, But with just the flashbacks. I thought about it more and more, and then I thought ' Well, if I make it Raven, she can show more emotion than Beast Boy, and her emotion would seem more signifiagant because of the fact she never shows alot of it.' So I changed it, but I'm thinking of posting the origanal version just because. I'm still debating over it, but if you happen to be reading this, and want me to post it really badly, go ahead and PM me. I would love that. I never get PMed.

I'm nothing without you

This is the fic I am talking about in the previous.

Okay, origianlly I was planning on killing Raven off in the first 'chapter' and stoping there, making it a oneshot. But, as I wrote on, I couldn't help but feel sorry for Beast Boy, and I just couldn't let Raven slip from him so easily. It would just be to cruel. So, I had to come up with a completely new idea and thanks to alot of cookies, I did.

I will try and finish it faster than my last story. More info to come.

Stories that I am currently working on/will be in the future

I am (as in maybe, might) considering posting the original idea for Cant Live Without You. It deals with the roles being reversed and wont have the same out come, in fact will probably be only a oneshot, but will be different none the less. I didn't know if that would be too redundant or if no body wanted to read it. Now its currently in its beginning stages, but it was the original idea for this fic. I didn't know if anyone would be interested in reading something similar to this...from me. It will not, I REPEAT, WILL NOT be an exact replica of it, in fact wont even have as nice of an out come as it. I need to know, so tell me if you want it. If there is no mention of this in a PM or Review, I will take it that no one wants to read it and wont post it. Now if people do want it and I decide not to post it, because it might sound like crap, I'll let you guys know. That probably wont be the case, though. AND I reserve the right to, if no one wants me to post it, or if I get no feed back, post it if I feel like it. Just because. I would really like to know what you think. Thank you.

Okay, this is what will be coming up, eventually. I am planing on completely revamping 'The Fading Light' one day, though don't expect it soon. Also, My sister made a comic strip that is basically an overview of the entire thing. I'll be posting that on my deviant art account sooner than later. AKA when I get time. Even if I don't get the okay for the next plausible oneshot I'll be doing, I'll be posting a picture for in on my deviant art account also. I will be posting new art every once in a while, so If you like BB/RAE art, and aren't scared away by my pathetic attempts at a story, go ahead and check it out. I cant promise it wont burn your eyes, though. Its a chance you'll have to take.

My deviant art account:

I am proud to announce that I have created and posted things on my new deviant art account. Here it is:

bbissocute

WARNING:

All of my fics (and future fics) are based on the TV show. I personally don't like the comics that much, even though I have, like, the entire collection of them. I love the TV show to death and I dearly hope that they put it back on the air.

ANOUNCEMENT:

Have you ever wondered what Beast Boy would look like if he were normal (TV series)? If you have, or even if you haven't, click on this link. This is not some drawing I did or anything else. This is off of the show (actually, the movie, but it’s the same thing.). Read the information on the link (don't worry, I wrote it all...well, maybe you should worry), its just I'm too lazy to retype it. Prepare to be freaked out.
