I write fanfiction to practice for the novel that I am sure I will publish (well, 95 sure). And while I currently only have my lyric thing up right now, I have other things that I plan on putting up eventually. I really only write Fullmetal Alchemist, usually adventure. I do have a few romances that I keep seperate from the main stories, but they're just for my own enjoyment. If I do romance, it's almost always heterosexual - I do yaoi only once in a blue moon and nothing too steamy. I think overly-descriptive words are weird and I try to avoid doing things like that in my writing. If there's a train chugging along the side of a hill, I'm not going to tell you that the smoke is like a fluffy ivory cloud and that the dew on the blades of grass sparkle like emeralds in the mid-afternoon sun. That's weird. Sorry, but no one talks like that. I sure you're imagining smoke out of a train and green grass. As for anything else I have to say...I don't think I have anything too pressing. So, thanks for reading, love you, hope you like my stuff! See ya'll in Amestris!
