I am an individual of rather obvious gender if anyone can be bothered to think about it. I wouldn't be on fanfiction if I didn't love it and I wouldn't have such an overly extensive favourites list if I didn't read as much as that implied. Writing is a hobby whereupon I'm hit by random bouts of inspiration, after which I wage battle against my slothful inclinations to put words to screen. Sadly, laziness finds itself victorious all too often - approximately 90% of the time. And so, alas, I'm a shamefully slow updater. I like sport (that should be ambiguous enough), watching anime & reading manga (no, duh), finding quotes, and marvelling at my own unadulterated sarcasm (ego much?). I also enjoy imagining myself as a kick-ass martial artist; but since osmosis is impossible between the real world and my mind, that's not going to happen anytime soon. I believe that's about enough personal information I'm comfortable flinging into the faces of anyone sufficiently interested to check out my profile.

A Note on Reviewing:I think it's a good policy to review as much as you can. All authors like some form of feedback - even if it's just a couple of words of appreciation. I bet it's frustrating for them to have only 1 person out of every 50 who've read the story to review. Personally, I think signed reviews are nice because you can reply ^^.

As for all the fandoms I tend to venture into, here's most of them: Naruto, HP, LoTR, Code Geass, Bleach, Inuyasha, Alex Rider, Tamora Pierce, BtVS & crossovers, Sailor Moon, D-Gray.man, Katekyo Hitman, Fullmetal Alchemist, FFVII, Skip Beat!, Hikaru no Go, Gokusen, Ouran High School Host Club, Rurouni Kenshin, La Corda D'Oro, Prince of Tennis, Eyeshield 21 (my new love!).

The older stories on my account are utterly embarrassing. No really - I want to cover my head in shame when I read over some of them. I would delete them but for the smidgeon of sentimental value they hold. As for the more recent stories, enjoy if you dare.

Uzumaki Genesis Status Update 22/07/10:

Just posted Chapter the First after the Prologue. Unlike some well-prepared writers who have chapter or even story outlines prepared or have yet-to-be-posted chapters already written that are only in need of editing, I fly by the seat of my pants. Rather unstably as well, if I might add. In other words, I have nothing of what's going to be in Chapter 2 but vague ideas in my mind that will eventually coalesce into something resembling a plot. I have a sinking feeling that this might leave the story rather susceptible to developing massive plot holes later on but I'll deal with it when it comes. Now that I've actually updated for the first time, I'm loathe to leave this story on the sidewalk, so you should expect another update of similar length to my previous chapter in a couple months or so. Still, I might surprise you and update sooner than expected.

Uzumaki Genesis Status Update 26/10/10:

If anyone cares, I've got about half of the next chapter written and have actually planned the next two - woot for me. I'm just being exceptionally lazy about writing the next half of the chapter. Anyway, should have the next chapter finished next month sometime.

04/09/10: If Eisfuchs comes across this in my profile, hopefully she'll pm me again and tell me her email address. I couldn't get into contact with you since you disabled your pm function on fanfic.net. Betaing is all well and good, but I'd like to be able to talk you first lol.
