little about me... well lets see...

Name (or what you can call me since I.Heart.Hatake.Kakashi is way too long): E
Age: apparently twice as old as I look... okay maybe not that old... 25
Interests: lots of things...
Hobbies: well with school i barely have any time for hobbies... but I like reading, writing, watching tv, MANGA!!... I have lots of hobbies...hehehe
Animes: Vampire Knight, Prefect Girl Evolution,Naruto, Bleach, InuYasha, Fullmetal Alchemist, Rurouni Kenshin, Fruits Basket, Ouran High School Host Club, Bloodplus, Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, Trinity Blood, Wolf's Rain, Escaflowne, Eureka 7, One-Piece, and Sailor Moon (and probably a whole lot more that i've somewhat outgrown...but there's more... but for now as far as what i look for on fanfic, i mostly just read Naruto and some Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo... and prefect girl evolution...)
Naruto couples: NejiTen, KibaHina, ShikaTem, and NaruSaku okay couples: ShikaTen, KibaTen, GaaTen (now), NaruHina, SasuSaku, InoCho, ShikaIno (i'll tolerate, but i prefer Temari... and of the Tenten ones... well they have to be love triangles where she ultimately ends up with Neji XP)...

MY WRITING PROCESS
FANFICTION WRITING COMMUNITY

i am willing to read people's stuff (not as a beta, mind you... just reviewing and giving tips and suggestions)... but i do warn you now, if you take me up on my offer, please have thick skin, or at least understand that if my words come out overly critical (which i try to avoid), don't think i'm trying to tear it down... if fact, quite the opposite... i'm trying help because i do think there's potentional... everyone has the potential to write amazing stories... just practice, practice, practice... and never give up.

10 for NejiTen Challenge

As some of you know, I haven’t been reading any fics lately, and I’m too lazy to go search for any… but as those of you who are consistent reviewers know, my laziness tends to steer me toward my reviewer’s stories on occasion, and so I thought… ‘huh… what if I played a game with some of them and did a prompt challenge?"
It’d be just for fun… no contest, no prizes, no deadlines, just fun… I want to see what other people would come up with…

TOP 3 MUST READS OF THE MOMENT

(in no particular order, just some fics I love; one story per author, but if it's on here chances are I love most if not all of their other stories)

- First: Just cos I freaking love this story... honestly I've read it at least a dozen times already... (SHIKATEN... although really, it's a NejiTen, Shika's love in unrequited)
-The Sound of Memory: So freaking amazing. It's DEATHNOTE fic... Midnight Memories' stuff is all good, but this one is by far my favorite of her pieces (L)
-When Neji met Tenten: I'm not an AU person, especially not High School Fics, but I love this one... so good. (also Check out her other ones too) (NEJITEN)

It was going to be the "top 10" but I couldn't come up with anymore... well from different authors that is...

My MID-YEAR FANFIC Resolutions (i.e what i want to accomplish before the year ends)...

1. Update all of my "in-progress" stories at least once (some of them I know I'll update plenty of times before then)
2. Attempt writing an AU (i've got one in mind actually)
3. Finish my 10 for NejiTen Challenge (I've got 3 down, 7 to go)
4. Maybe venture out into different fandoms (like PGE and VK maybe)
5. Sleep (why is sleep last? I think it should be number 1... lol... and yes, i consider this fanfic related before I always seem to update around 2am...)

Favorite Manga: (I read way too much manga... seriously, it's an obsession... I've listed my top 10 here... but there's so many others I love)

1. Hatenkou Yuugi (aka Dazzle)
2. Perfect Girl Evolution
3. Vampire Knight
4. Naruto
5. La Corda d'Oro
6. Ouran High School Host Club
7. KouKou Debut
8. Kimi ni Todoke (aka Reaching You)
9. Special A
10.Nadeshiko Club

anyone notice anything about my favs?...lol... yeah a lot of them (7 of 10) are "harem" genres...lol... wonder what that says about me... ;P

A Little about my stories... (the italisized titles are completed)

1. What Sakura found out (WSFO): Is the fist story I began writing, it's a NejixTen, of course. It's just a majorly fluffy romance... 'I' think it's really cute... and honestly I think it's the only one I've gotten no complaints about...
2. Henge no Jutsu (HNJ): Is the companion story to WSFO. I really liked the part with the guys at the end of the first chapter of WSFO, so I decided to make this companion piece to explore what occurred during the day for each boy of the rookie 9 and team Gai. There's also some funny guest apperances from my favorite character, Kakashi, as well as some Gai and Jiraya action.
3. Soraoi: Is a funny little story that popped into my head about what it might be like if Shikamaru had a overyly energetic ('cough'completely opposite to him 'cough') sister. Somehow that tiny little idea evolved into a story about an OC who falls in love with Gaara. Honestly, it started out as a ShikaxTem, but some how became a GaaraxOC... but I absolutely loved this story... and lately have been contemplating writing a sequel to it, but focusing on ShikaxTem this time... But that probably won't happen until I can find a good long time to dedicate myself to writing it...
4. One shots: Neji and Tenten: (1S:NxT): These two are my favorite couple and I was thinking I could just write one after another story about them, but I figure since that would just end up taking so much space, I might just keep it open indefinitely and just put them all together in a collection. So far I love it, and it's the only one I'm still working on actively (I also have the Kiba/Hinata and Shika/Temari collections open, but won't likely be working on them as much as this one). I accept ideas if anyone has anything they'd like to see...
5. Itsu: I will not deny it... Itsu is my Mary Sue... but for a Mary Sue, it's not written all that badly XP...
6. One shots: Kiba and Hinata (1S:KxH): KibaHina is my 2nd favorite Naruto pairing. I've only got one shot up so far... but I'll likely add more later on...
7. Wind and Dragon (W&D): I moved all of the Ryoku/Xiu-Juan (and Bu-Mu...lol) shots (aka: stories) from 1S:NxT into one fic.This one will likely be updated sporadically as well, though not as much as the 1shot-collections (with the exception of 1S:NxT of course).
8. One shots: Shikamaru and Temari ( 1S:SxT): Much like 1S:KxH, I'm probably not going to update this one as much as 1S:NxT. ShikaTem is my 3rd favorite Naruto pairing... (there will be one more 1S_ collection eventually).
9. One shots:HaPpY BiRtHdAy! (1S: HP): I started it on Tenten's birthday. Will be adding to it one each character's birthdays.. hopefully... Sakura's next I think...
10. Naruto Ipod Shuffle (NIS): I started this one because of my good friend Midnight Memories' Music Shuffle Meme, it's good... you should check it out too... anyway, this one is the one I'm most working on, since it's the one that fits into my busy schedule the easiest... It's much more random, with all sort of pairings and characters... I'll probably update this one the most frequently... but still... 1S:NxT is and probably always will be my #1 priority...
11. What is Love? (WIS?) Based on this chapter in NIS. Will be a NejiTen, with some Gaara yumminess... SUMMARY: Tenten loves Neji; Neji loves Tenten. But of course, neither knows. She's given up. Set up on a blind date; but with who? and how will Neji react? What's going to come of our favorite couple? And will "he" find the answer to his question?...What is love? Tentative Plot: Gaara's being pressured to find a bride by the Suna Council; Tenten's tired of waiting for Neji; Neji's madly in love with Tenten, but is hesitant to act on his feelings because he assumes he'll never lose her. What happens when three sneaky kunoichi (because Hinata refuses to participate) try set up Gaara and Tenten? How will Neji take this? (like we need to ask?...lol)...
12. Five Noble Clans(SEQUEL TO WIND AND DRAGON): Neji and Tenten were forced to leave their home; 5 years later, they and their twin sons return to the village. How have things changed? & will everything be 'happily-ever-after? or will shadows from the past shatter their happy lives? Wind&Dragon Sequel
13. On the Road of Life: I LOVE Kakashi... but who doesn't know that already? This is my newest collection story, and it will be centered entirely around KAKASHI!!
14. A New Leaf: (Sequel to W&D and 5NC) centered around the Konoha 11's kids... specifically Neji and Tenten's kids... checkout the profiles for each of them below

FUTURE STORY IDEAS: (not including all the one-shot ideas I have in my journals)

1. KOUDO ARC: Based on chapters 59-61 of 1S:NxT.
2. IF NARUTO WERE A SHOUJO MANGA: (love my title?) I've finally decided I will try my hand at an AU fic... I've got a plot sort of worked out... It'll be a high school fic of course... XP
3. A LEAF IN THE WIND: Soraoi was supposed to be a SHIKATEM, but somehow it became a GaaraOC fic... so I've been saying I was going to do a 2nd part, for a few months now, that would focus on ShikaTem... but I loved Shika and Soraoi's relationship, so I want to keep her around. You know what, It's going to be a GaaraOC with a side of ShikaTem again... lol... It's going to take place between chapters 11 and 12.
4. ITSU GAIDEN: I've been thinking about doing the background story to my mary-sue fic... her childhood... falling in love with Kakashi and all. :D I think it'd be fun.
5. UNTITLED STORY ABOUT NEJI'S MOM: It's a request I got... not sure if it'll be a one-shot, but I doubt it... it's going to be about Neji going in search of his long lost mother... and of course Tenten will go with him. (non-Ryoku universe... sadly... I'll be so sad when Ryoku leave... T.T)
6. What You Waiting For? : #6 drabble on Chapter 9 of NIS. Tentative summery. Neji overhears Kiba calling Tenten cute; uber jealousy ensues... but it's all a misunderstanding... right? not sure if it'll be a one-shot or a multi-chapter story. probably one-shot
7. Speechless : Also from Chapter 9 of NIS. Songfic; Speechless by the Veronicas. So captures NejiTen... will definitely be a one-shot only.
8. UNTITLED KIBAHINA Story: based on the couple's forbidden love plot in WHAT IS LOVE... hopefully i'll eventually get to this one
