As of 11/22/09 9:05 pm: First Eureka seveN fic EVER, just posted. It sucks, but it's all good. I'll try to get some IshiHime done soon. (I honestly think that my icon is amazing. Though, I am pretty lame, haha.)

"There was no explosion when I reached my limit." --Uryu Ishida, from episode 107 of the English dub of the horribly sucky "Bount" arc (if you're a perv you'd find that quote EXTREMELY funny...I for sure did)

Salutations, people! I am the Otaku Samurai! (If you found the quote disturbing, I'm sorry). I'm primarily a writer of Bleach, but I have some side stories (which I need to update, by the way) with other titles such as Samurai 7 and Vampire Knight. I hope that you, yes YOU the lucky reader of this profile, like the stuff I write. I may be lazy in updating (haha), but if you give me a chance, you'll love me. Wow...I sound like a suck up. Yeah...I don't know. If you read my stuff and like it, then you are greatly appreciated. And if you review, you're even more appreciated because I say "Thank You" at least two times. Lolz.

More info on me:

Name: Otaku Samurai / Shalica (pronounced "Shuh-lee-kuh")
Age: Just turned 16, baby!!
Gender: I'm a chick.
Height: 5' 1 and 1/2" (approximately)
Random Quirks: People think I'm funny, but really, the only thing funny is the dumb crap I do/say. Yep. I guess I'm one of those "cool-yet-dorky" people.
Favorite Pairings: ISHIHIME and DOMINIC/ANEMONE!!

Most issues with me not updating are just school...and then lethargy. I totally remember when I was just an anonymous reader back in '04. Never did I think I was good at writing. And I still don't. Ha. A GREAT BIG THANKS to all of my reviewers! You people are AWESOME for putting up with my bad updating skills!...and all of my lamo skills in general.

Y'know, I'm not much "otaku" anymore...I've kind of grown out of the "OMG Bleach is on at 2 in the morning I'm gonna so stay up for it," phase. I'm kinda just like, "Okay, yeah, Bleach. Cool. I guess," now. Yeah...I'm not much of a samurai either (dur). I just like to write about sappy anime pairings that SHOULD happen :3 Though lately whenever Uryu Ishida appears, or even just a little bit, I "fangirl squee". Pathetic, much?

Indeed, I like feudal Japanese warriors. Just look at my pen name.

I am a user of Yahoo! Messanger. My name is otaku_samurai. So, yeah...friends are always nice. Be free to add me!

Some other random stuff...

-I use Facebook. Yeah, I know. You don't have to criticize me. Join my IshiHime group! I'm in need of more members!...I actually think I gained some people since I made it off of this. That's cool.

-My DeviantART account. It's mostly lamo doodles, but I'll put some other crap on there soon. Like my IshiHime Christmas card thingers! :D

-I realize that my profile sucks, but hey, beggars can't be choosers. I honestly don't know what to say...well, at the moment. That's why I shall insert...

A RANDOM FANFICTION SURVEY! THOUGH PROBABLY NONE OF YOU CARE!! WOO!!

How many fanfictions do you have submitted?
Eleven, and counting.

Which one has the most reviews?
OoLH is just pwning everything I have written so far. It's funny, because I like SWBL so much more, but...yeah. People like the aspects of "XBox" more than "Sweet love found in the rain". Essentially. Huh. I realize that sounded kind of stupid. Ah well.

Least?
Cliche, and a Tease is last right now with 0, since I just posted. So yeah...

Which fanfiction has the most words?
She Will Be Loved, baby! With 26,379 beautiful words!

Which fanfiction has the most chapters?
She Will Be Loved, with six sexy chapters :D

What category are the majority of your fanfictions in?
Anime. All of my fics are Anime. Oh my...I'm a nerd...

What do you like most in reviews:
The ways people present themselves through the reviews, if you know what I mean. Like...if they're spazzy, or very...cultured(?) and experienced(?). But, I like it when people tell me that I have typos, because I would like to evolve more as a writer, and I'd like to know my flaws. Crap like that. I value the reviews that make me laugh, because then I can value the person as someone worthwhile.

Have any of your fanfictions made it into at least one C2?
Indeed, some have. And I still have no idea what a C2 is. And I've been on this site for how long already?

Are any of your fanfictions on at least one person's favorites list?
Yeah!

Are any of your fanfictions on at least one person's alert list?
YEAH!! Even if I'm not on their faves, they still get the alert, so in a weird way I still kinda know that they do still have the time to read the update. More-or-less.

What genre do you most frequently write in?
So far...it's been mostly "romance". Wow. I think "drama" and "humor" are kinda tied for second.

Do you leave comments before and after a chapter?
Of course! Cuz I have a lot of random crap to say before and after the chapter, maybe to explain things, maybe to just get a random message across. I like to add that comical relief, too, if the chapter is like...depressing or whatever.

Do you update frequently?
HA! Only when I'm not in my emo-hole aka Writer's Block (SWBL reference chapter 4). Though, school does take time away, and then there is lethargy...as stated above...

Do you frequently use original characters?
No no no. I don't wanna butcher the things that are already good as they are. Y'know, Mary Sues and stuffs. Why the flip are they called "Mary Sues"?? Though, if I did (which I'm kind of planning for an upcoming fic of mine), I'd make sure that they're (heh) not too perfect, just to preserve the epicness that I'm trying to create. And I tell you know, my ideas are pretty epic.

Are any of your fanfictions based on things that happened to you in real life?
Oh yeah, totally. I have a giant sword and a blue glow-in-the-dark bow and, after swallowing suspicious candies from Pez dispenser-esque contraptions, I dress up in a black and white get-up, spikey hair and all, and stand out in the rain making-out with a dude that randomly looks like a certain smexy Quincy with "She Will Be Loved" in the background. Just kidding. Though, the make-out part I wouldn't object too...But yeah, OoLH was sort of based on my life, and a good friend of mine. We were playing Halo 2 and I totally pwn3d him, and he got PISSED. Thus, the "Uryu vs. Ichigo Halo 2" idea. WHICH I UPDATED BY THE WAY!

What fanfiction is your favorite one that you've written?
Dude, I can't say this enough: SWBL is my IshiHime lovechild. No other fic can replace the feelings I have for it. I mean, 'She Will Be Loved' is the PERFECT song for them! But then...I do really like The Apprentice's Journey only because I love Katsushiro and he gets no love whatsoever, and every time I need a good laugh, I aways turn to Orihime's Essay.

Well, that was eventful. Haha.

I dunno. I any of you people wanna contact me, then do so by Private Message, Email, IM, carrier pigeon, and/or that telekinesis/ESP stuff :D
