Author has written 39 stories for Xiaolin Showdown, Avatar: Last Airbender, Naruto, Invader Zim, Death Note, Jhonen Vasquez, Ben 10, and Futurama. Hey y'all! I like many many things. I'm rather surprised that you care enough to read this, but I suppose one or two of my stories HAVE gathered a small following... What do you need to know about me? -I love to pair up enemies and rivals. Observe the MXN, ZADR, and LXLight for a start. -I like yaoi, but I also like het and yuri. (Nny/Devi and GATR, for example.) -Basically, I'll read anything that's written well and has interesting characters. -I am a TERRIBLE updater. TERRIBLE. The only way things ever get done on time is if they're already long written when I start publishing. -I'm seventeen, but I have no personal experience in romance. How do I write all the romantic stories, then? How the Hell should I know? I just write 'em. -I SUPPORT UNUSUAL PAIRINGS! ie: OrochiKabu--Kabuto's undying devotion coupled with... stuff makes a lot of sense. Uchihacest--I can see it, can't you? We already know sasuke is gay. DAGR- as in "Dib and Gaz" because who else believes Dib? And if he's not Gay... (if you agree, read Daggers). GAGR- it's twisted and cute at the same time! Scri/Edgar- okay, so maybe it's not 'unusual', just very old. Can't beat the classics. And Vargas is THE classic. http://desdemonakakalose.deviantart.com/ is my Deviantart account. I have some halfway descent stuff. GO THERE Story statuses: Angel Born in Hell: Long completed. So many fond memories of this one... I actually got class credit for writing it, which forced me to update regularly. It's over, but seeing as it was the start of everything else... Well, it had to get a blurb. It began as a poem, obviously, and a got a couple reviews asking for a story to match. Then it became a chance for me to clear Jack Spicer's good name to the world! Okay, cut me some slack, I was in eighth grade and in love with a cartoon villain. Tick for Tack: Despite the fact that it has been nearly a year since my last update, this story is not abandoned! It is merely sleeping after being hit over the head with Real Life and is just now resurfacing from its coma. The story was written in the begining to provide basic knowlege of the IZ universe, but quickly became my outlet for all the things I wanted to see done in the fandom. Bullet With Butterfly Wings: (BWBW) is currently on indefinate hiatus. My inspiration has, ironically enough, being dried up by the very small following I've gathered. Too many expectations! Whilst I grapple with my insecurities and school, readers will have do do without. That shouldn't be hard. The story was written in response to an AMV of Death Note. I saw this video before I even knew what the show's title was, and I mistakenly believed that L was the murderer and Light was the detective. Thus, BWBW was born. Eternity in a Pickle Jar: I'm a slow updater by nature. This one is getting new chapters whenever the inspiration strikes me, so the chapter posts are erratic. However, I have a deep love for this story, and I can work myself up to it by listening to MSI. The idea was simply that there were currently two (count 'em, TWO) fics for this pairing, and I was apalled by that. SO. EIPJ was born, and took on a life of its own. I just love Edgar. WIP Phantasmaphilia: this... I probably shouldn't have started. I really like it, but it's a fanfiction of a fanfiction... which makes securing an audience hard. See, the whole thing started from a drawing of Edgar and Scriabin I drew on pink paper, and then I had to write a scene to match it, and then I had to write a chapter, and before you know it... BAM. I blame Scriabin. He's addictive. Complete now, but I may go back and revise it one day. The Change this is currently what I'm all about. All my free time goes into writing and editing future chapters (the whole 'writing in advance' thing worked very well for BWBW, until I ran out of chapters, so I tried it again here). It is based in the universe of the novel Dies the Fire, or more broadly The Change Series. It started with the thought that Johnny would probably do well in the post-apocalyptic-world-of-tommorow, and spun off from there. I hadn't intended it to be a romance, but it's kinda turned into one. WIP One Little Song: It actually has a follow-up chapter. I decided not to make it a multi-chapter, but I didn't like it as a two-shot, so... the second chapter remains on Deviantart and will not be added to FFnet. My Bevin enthusiasm crashed as the show went on. It got to be a hassle to simply watch the episodes. Blah. ZADR Anthology: my deep abiding shame. A few of you MAY remember it... but I hope not. I got fed up with the reminder and deleted it in september. Gay marriage: 2) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall. 3) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract. 4) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal. 5) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Brittany Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed. 6) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children. 7) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children. 8) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America. 9) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children. 10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans... -- | |||||||||
1. Sick reviewsOne of the greatest ironies of life is that you never really know what kind of disturbing things the man sitting beside you might be thinking.
