Author has written 16 stories for Naruto, Beauty and the Beast, Tales of the Abyss, Ouran High School Host Club, Hetalia - Axis Powers, Toy Story, Beetlejuice, and Kuroshitsuji. Who I am: I'm a recent college graduate, recently married, and hopelessly nerdy. Most of my interests are steeped in fandom and other related pursuits. Oh, and I'm a girl (in case the name "Emily" didn't give it away). As you can tell from my pen name, I like books a lot. I won't bore you (the reader) with a list of my favorite books, but suffice it to say, I enjoy reading. However, I usually don't like fan fiction of my favorite books, especially not Les Miserables. That book is perfect the way it is. What I like to read: My favorite things to read are stories from Tales of the Abyss, particularly ones that feature Jade and/or Dist as the main character(s). Jade/Dist is my OTP, not just in this fandom, but in general. I also enjoy reading stories about Avatar: The Last Airbender, Beetlejuice, The Princess and the Frog, Teen Titans, and miscellaneous other fandoms. What I write: I like to write one shots, as they are quick, easy to read over and work into a coherent story, and don't require updating. However, I have been experimenting with writing longer works, but as I am not always great at thinking my story plots through, I try to make sure I have everything lined up before publishing a chapter. I do insane amounts of research for my stories and have a very hard time posting anything I feel is less than perfect. While I am sensitive to criticism, I would rather have a gentle critique or common mistakes pointed out to me so that I may fix what is wrong than have someone be afraid to point it out. While I'm most inspired by Tales of the Abyss, particularly by the Jade-Dist dynamic, I will write stories about other pairings and from other fandoms. In particular, I am an avid Beetlejuice (cartoon) fan and recently published my first story for that. It is my greatest desire to finally write a Princess and the Frog story I've been stewing over for years, but that will be a while in coming. A Note about Pairings: I am a shipper. A lot of my stories involve pairings of some sort, but I am trying to broaden my writing and make romance less of a focus. There are also certain pairings I adore and pairings I loathe. I am content to either ignore or not comment on pairings I do not enjoy and ask the reader to employ the same policy if an undesirable pairing is found in one of my stories. I am referring in particular to my great love for the Neji/Hinata (Naruto) pairing; I am well-aware of cultural taboos and believe that when it comes down to it, fandom is fandom. If you like my stories, I assure you that there is more coming from my crazy brain, but it comes very, very slowly. | |||||||
