--About Me

Name: It starts with a K. That's all you should know. Just call me Zilo. (ZAI-low)
Nicknames: Short Stuff, Little One, Shorty, Zilo (obviously), Sugar, Weeble, Biscuit, BB, Tiny Sis
Age: 22
Height: Unfortunately, without my platform footwear, I only get up to 5'1''. How mean is that?
Weight: ...AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Ethnicity: Black, African American, Negro--take your pick!
Location: Somewhere in the Central Time Zone.
Hair: Dark brown with auburn highlights, chest-length
Quote: "Well that's no bueno," and "Exsqueeze me?"
Personality: Well, I'm one of those kinds of people that is really shy and quiet until I get to know you, and then I become much more relaxed and talk away. I scare easily, and I'm generally nice, unless you piss me off. When I'm around my friends, I am much more relaxed and, well, unhinged. When I have to be, I can be quite sarcastic at a normal volume. I also love being funny and random. If you hit on me, I will glare at you and order you to go away. I use big words a lot, and not even on purpose.

Fav. Anime:
Let's just say I like a lot of anime and manga and leave it at that.

Things I Like
Ramen, instrumentals, techno, eating with chopsticks, making friends, smiling, saying and doing funny things, hanging with friends, watching anime, reading books and manga, writing, drawing manga, looking up stuff on Wikipedia, reading the thesaurus, the color green, painting, nachos, roleplaying, listening to music, looking up stuff on TVTropes, cosplaying, unprofessional dancing, power ballads, fruit, running up and down the stairs, Googewhacking, Photoshopping, AMVs, experimenting in the kitchen, bike riding, starting trends, rambling, driving, the library, getting along, fanfics, going clothes shopping, making my own accessories, cutting or styling hair, showing off my hand flexibility, hugging, satire.

Things I Dislike
Smug people, people with constantly dirty hands, someone changing the channel without my permission, spicy foods, overly sweet things, really sad endings, long movies, the Discovery Health Channel, dumb people, dumb people who don’t want to change, bashers, perverts, people who say I "act white", being interrupted, scrubs, thugs, guys who don't get the hint that I don't want to go out with them, underwear showing, dial-up, upskirt anime, cockroaches, onscreen barfing, onscreen kissing, math, changing voice actors, psychopath feminists, psychopath animal rights activists, April Fools' Day, pessimism, fake tans, hatred, lack of depth perception, name-calling, the words "right-wing" together in any context for any reason, religious psychopaths, debates, phlegm, bad grammar, killing off minorities on TV, homeschool stereotypes, greens, dumb questions, throwing up, hangovers.

Some Random Facts About Me
I can actually sense whenever electronic devices like TVs or computers are on or off, even if I'm not looking or in another room.
I talk in my sleep, and apparently I can also ask and answer questions in my sleep.
I'm double-jointed. My best trick is my "basket hands" or turning my feet around.
I'm a Christian.
I can use my feet like hands--that is, I can pick up something small with my foot and transfer it to my hand.
I like to invent swear words or swear in Japanese.
I'm left-handed, but I do a lot of things with my right hand, such as open cans, use the computer's mouse, cut hair, etc.
I adore funny socks, leg warmers, arm warmers, and homeade accessories.
I will climb out my bedroom window to avoid talking to people.

--About My Writing/Reading

Things I Like (in fanfiction)

Good plots, good-sized chapters, interesting and well-thought-out OCs, funny OOC stories, parental RoyEd stories, parodies, friendship EnvyEd stories, stories that are just the right length, people who respond to my reviews, really original ideas, lots of reviews, long reviews, really encouraging reviews, funny reviews, good characterization, cliché-bashing stories, good constructive criticism, honest reviewers who tell you when you need to fix stuff, well-written EdxOC.

Things I Dislike (in fanfiction)

Mary Sues, really short chapters, really long chapters, really long stories, really sad stories, badly-written anybodyxOC pairings, flamers, bashers, overused cliches with nothing new to add, people who don’t bother to spell check, yuri, yaoi, lemons and limes (and grapes and kumquats), OOC when it isn’t supposed to be funny, killing off Al (WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE DO THAT?), killing off Ed, OCs related to main characters, heavy swearing, EnvyxOC pairings.

When I write...

I welcome encouraging reviews and constructive criticism. Feel free to point out any typos, because that's the only way I'll get better at it. (So I can whack my beta(s) over the head with a frying pan...maybe) But flames, no. They're lame, and usually the people who write them are just being mean for the sake of being mean. I like to be told if I'm doing something wrong so I can fix it, not called names and told I just suck without any reason.

No romance for me, no siree. Hints I'm fine with, but I absolutely suck at sappy love scenes. Whenever I write pairings, I don't write them like they're normally written. Honestly, they're written more like close friends than a pairing. So I don't even bother.

And I try so hard not to be OOC if it's not an AU story. I really do.

Oh yeah, one more thing. I usually don't do sad endings. I hate crying over my own stories, which is what happens if the ending is sad. I can do some good angst in the middle, but as long as it turns out happy, I'm good.

I love co-writing with people. I've co-written twenty different stories (though only a few were shown to the public) and I'm always willing to co-write with someone. However, I do prefer that they have at least some spelling and grammar skills, otherwise I will explode.

When I make OCs, I try to make them actually human, and usually try to go for unusual traits and plots so they don't turn into Mary-Sues. It seems I've been successful so far, yay!

To avoid clutter, all the fanarts have been moved to this nifty link! So check them out!

And of course, if you want to see the art I've drawn myself for TSG (and some other stuff) visit my DeviantArt page!

If you realized your "copy-and-paste" section got so huge that it frightened little children, copy and pa--actually, don't copy and paste this. It might add to the problem. And the last thing we need is MORE frightened children. So if you've realized the above, cut that section in half (or get rid of it altogether), and give the kids some candy to calm their fears.

--Zilo

--Afterword

You can find me on DeviantArt, YouTube, GaiaOnline, (zilonshidainsane) Yahoo!, Twitter, Facebook, and some other places I can't remember. If you go to Texas, point north, and start walking, eventually you'll run into my place. While you're there, please bring me fuzzy socks and hot beverages. I'm cold.

Ja!
