A little about myself: I'm 24 years old, from the northeastern US. I'm the proud mother of a 3-year-old son. I work in a potato chip factory. I like eating, sleeping, and playing video games. I consider my fandoms to be Final Fantasy VI, VII, VIII, X/X-2, and XII, Star Ocean: Til The End of Time, Rurouni Kenshin and Neon Genesis Evangelion, although so far I've only written FF fanfic.

My main pairing is FFX-2: Yuna/Baralai (often shortened to Yunalai), and it's so ingrained in me that I replay the game in that mindset; giving the Awesome Sphere to New Yevon and often choosing for Tidus not to come back :p Other FF pairings I enjoy are Cloud/Tifa, Cloud/Aeris (yes, both of them), Irvine/Selphie, Zell/Selphie, Zell/Rinoa, Quistis/Seifer, Auron/Lulu, Wakka/Lulu, Rikku/Gippal, Balthier/Ashe, and Vossler/Ashe. In the Star Ocean fandom I'm less picky about pairings, I just want Cliff in the story :p And from NGE, I like Shinji/Asuka, Shinji/Rei, and Misato/Kaji. I also wouldn't mind some Asuka/Toji, because they're just on crack together :p

Music is a big part of my life, and a lot of my writing is influenced by the music I happen to be listening to. Sometimes I incorporated lyrics into my work, sometimes not. But there is almost always some sort of musical influence, and I could probably tell you what song I was listening to while writing a certain scene.

A word about reviews: Concrit =/= flame. I love reviews, obviously, and I love (that's right, love) when people give me constructive criticism, because it gives me a chance to improve my writing. I also give concrit, not because I hate a story, but because I like it and think it has potential, but just needs to be polished up a bit. So if I review your story giving you tips on how you could improve, take it as a compliment and don't PM or reply to me and be a complete wanker twit because I didn't give you glowing praise. The only time I will outright flame someone is if they really rub me the wrong way and I feel like they need to be put back in their place.
