“A good friend is a connection to life - a tie to the past, a road to the future, the key to sanity in a totally insane world.”

Hey there!

I suppose I should tell you a bit about myself.

I'm 20 (!), female, single, a recent College graduate (still trying to let that aspect of my life sink in lol), and I absolutely adore fanfiction! Although I prefer the anime section, I've found some surprisingly decent stories for my fav tv shows, books and movies. Anyone obsessed with fanfics like I am should really check out my Favorites list OR my Community!! Anywho, I'm afraid that my experience in writing fanfics is a bit lacking, but I've written multiple, purely original stories over the years, just because I felt like it. The fact of whether or not I suck, remains to be seen and anyone who could clear that up would be added to my Best Friends 4 Life list (once I make one).

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

I am also going to shamelessly advertise myself. Since I am now a certified graphic artist and photographer, I am looking for work. I prefer freelance, hence this message. If anyone out there would like to commission me for doujinshi covers, posters, ads...ect (basically anything for print... I hate web design... code drives me crazy), just PM me and we can... 'discuss the plan' and trade email addresses. If you want the link to my deviant art gallery, PM me. I've only got a few things on there so far, but if you want an example, check out my DP for this profile. It's actually the first of 8 (i think) and two others are in the works. They are characters in a story I'm writing... I'd like to do a manga too, but I think that's quite a long ways off. Anyway, if you or any of your friends are interested in hiring me, give me a shout...and spread the word!

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: My story Blood Lily has been DISCONTINUED! It was complete and utter CRAP, and I can't in good faith, continue my attempts to write more of it. Instead I'm working on a few other SHORT stories, which seem to be my forte.

If anyone has any input or ideas for my stories, please feel free to PM me. My inbox is always open! Constructive criticism is also welcome and please please PLEASE review my stories.

CURRENT PROJECTS:

- Supernova- sequel to "Fatal Weakness" (so far I've only managed to write the intro...ugh. HELP!)

- Nightmares- a Naruto, Boy x Boy lemon fic FINISHED!! Oh, and for the un-edited version, click on the Homepage link above. You'll have to Friend me to read it though...It shouldn't be hard to find since I only have a couple LJ entries anyway...

PLEASE REMEMBER: I am a heterosexual girl, therefore, I WILL NOT write Girl x Girl romance. I'm not disgusted by it, though I dont really believe that it's right, but I cant write something without putting a bit of myself into it. And I really cant pretend to be lesbian for the fic. Sorry...my imagination is good, but not THAT good. It's a bit outside of my comfort zone, lol.

...And the pairing will be...GaaraxNaru...NOPE!! SASU X NARU!! (I know, I changed it... sigh I finished writing Nightmares, then went and checked the poll. I saw that the pairing I used was the wrong one, but I was too lazy to write another at the moment. I mean, Nightmares was 15 PAGES long, and I wrote it in ONE DAY!)

~HEY PEOPLE! I'm in dire need of some help! There's an amazing story out there that I read part of, a long time ago. Unfortunately, I didn't save it or add it, since I was new to this site at the time. I can't remember the title or the author, but I do remember most of what it was about. Apparently, Naruto leaves Konoha to gain more control over his chakra (and the Kyuubi's), and ends up living in the deserts of Suna. There he gets insane training from a mysterious stranger. Later on, after he masters the insane methods, the stranger introduces himself, and trains Naruto to control his wind chakra. The stranger is kind of like a ghost, in that his body is like the wind. As a final test, he and Naruto battle it out, and Naruto supposedly kills him by accident. The emotional trauma he goes through after thinking he killed his sensei, was part of the test. ...And that's all I have. If ANYONE can give me the title of a story that sounds similar to this, or even an author's name, it would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!~

~ Yo, my Peeps! I was watching a show called "The Secret Millionaire" and it resulted in an epiphany. What if there was someone to write a SasukeXNaruto or a KakashiXIruka story with that kind of plotline?! And for those of you who don't know about the show, I'll explain my idea. First off, in the show, a millionaire is sent undercover in a poor area of the country, and forced to live like the locals for a week. While living in those conditions, they must find several people that could really use some money. At the end of the week, they must give away at least 100,000 bucks from their own pocket. This also involves telling the chosen people the truth about their identity and such. The millionaires also learn quite a bit along the way... Like the true value of money, and real reasons why some people are homeless, and how people are able to or forced to survive on 47-150 bucks a week... Not to mention all the kindhearted and generous people out there who try to help, even at their own expense... It's quite inspirational. So. My idea for the story is along those same lines, but with some major differences:

"Sasuke (or Kakashi) is a multi-millionaire with a rather eccentric, yet dark, personality. His best friends, Shikamaru (Genma), Neji (Asuma) and Sai (Kurenai) all seem to be the classic rich kids (people), and Sasuke (Kakashi) is tired of the money wasting, excessive parties and other such behaviour. He decides he wants to get away from the shallow life he's been living, leaves behind most of his money and possessions, and travels to the little run-down village of Konoha. There he's forced to confront 'real life'. Including getting a minimum wage, crappy job, new "hick" friends, and having to room with a hyper, overly cheerful blonde boy (or kind, shy, brown haired school teacher) with secret and deadly health problems. Eventually the two boys (men) fall in love, but when responsibilites back home bring Sasuke's (Kakashi's) friends to the little village, he's forced to admit his identity and his generous intentions. However, Naruto (Iruka) doesn't take it well. In fact, he sees it as a complete betrayal, and rejects the money (and with it, medical assistance) that Sasuke (Kakashi) offers. Sasuke (Kakashi) is distraught, having absolutely fallen in love with the blond (brunette), and decides that maybe some time apart would show how much they need each other. But when Naruto's (Iruka's) health takes a major turn for the worst, the raven (cyclops, lol) must find a way to prove his love to the blonde (brunette). Will he be too late?" I suppose that's up to the author...Alternate endings might be a good idea. One happy, and one tragic...I dont know if I want to write this or not. The last time I tried writing a multi-chaptered story...it- well, sucked. So, if any of my fav authors out there want to give this one a try, and you know who you are (if you are on my fav authors list or if any of your stories are in my community), then feel free. Perhaps several of you would like to use this storyline... I think it would be interesting to see how each different version turns out... SO LET ME KNOW WILL YA?? But please! Give me credit for the idea...? AND IF YOU WANT TO ASK ME QUESTIONS ABOUT A MORE DETAILED PLOTLINE, FEEL FREE TO PM ME!! I want this to turn out really well! :D

NOTE: It could even be a COLLABORATION FIC!!

The black man turned around and stood up. He then said: "Listen sir...when I was born I was BLACK, When I grew up I was BLACK, When I'm sick I'm BLACK, When I go in the sun I'm BLACK, When I'm cold I'm BLACK, When I die I'll be BLACK. But you sir, When you're born you're PINK, When you grow up you're WHITE, When you're sick, you're GREEN, When you go in the sun you turn RED, When you're cold you turn BLUE, And when you die you turn PURPLE. And you have the nerve to call me colored?" The black man then sat back down and the white man walked away... Post this on your profile if you hate racism.

I have a one-time gift. A beautiful gift that many people are ridiculed for in today's culture. A precious gift that many people throw away. It's called "virginity", and I plan to not waste it on some jerk of a boyfriend who's just gonna dump me later. I choose to be faithful to my future husband, the man who will love me for the rest of my life, and to wait for the wedding day!! If you have chosen to save your one-time gift and are PROUD of your purity, paste this into your profile and add your name to the list: Dearheart, fowl68, Blood Zephyr

-.- I'm sorry for this, and I know I'll probably sound like a total bitch, but I cant keep from saying this any longer.

YES. I know it's fanfiction, but one can only stray so far from the base facts of the anime or manga and its characters before it's not FANFICTION anymore. You cant just change things willy-nilly, without logic to back it up. Especially since most of the people reading these stories are quite knowledgeable about said original Anime and its characters. I run into this issue with other more... deviant authors, and I thought I should let you guys know this stuff. I can guarantee other authors out there agree with me.

Pairings I Like and Would LOVE to read: (Feel free to recommend stories with these pairings... Though I'm pretty sure I've read just about EVERY KakaIru and IruKaka story on this site...)

NARUTO

~ Kakashi X Iruka

~ Kakashi X OC (guy or girl)

~ Kakashi X Naruto (mostly in the time travel fics, where they end up close in age...I dont like pedophiles.)

~ Iruka X Kakashi

~ Iruka X OC (guy or girl)

~ Naruto X Sasuke

~ Naruto X Shikamaru (It would take someone very...special to get Shika to top.)

~ Naruto X Neji (Hey, if you can beat him, you can- er...um...you know...)

~ Naruto X Kiba ;p

~ Sasuke X Naruto

~ Sasuke X OC (guy or girl, though guy would be the most interesting...lol)

~ Genma X Iruka

~ Genma X Kakashi (?)

~ Genma X OC (...guy...sorry. I just can't see Genma with a woman, lol! He's too SEME...)

~ Itachi X Naruto

~ Itachi X OC

~ Itachi X Deidara, though mostly as a side pairing... we dont know enough about them to really make them the main characters...

~ Shikamaru X Neji (Neji's pretty enough to pass for a girl...at least til the clothes come off...)

~ Shikamaru X Naruto

~ Shikamaru X OC (...guy... I think he would find most girls too troublesome...)

~ Neji X Shikamaru (Hey... Shika's lazy, remember?)

~ Neji X Naruto (...Neji could always use an ego boost...this is how he can get one...)

~ Neji X OC (guy or girl, but mainly guy, cuz most of the time Neji would be prettier than the girl and that...well... just isnt right, lol. So GUY!)

~ Gaara X ...Hmmm, that's a tough one. I think he could be dominated, but the Seme would likely need to be a bit older...like Kakashi, Genma or someone... maybe even Itachi...

~ Gaara X OC (probably guy, cuz Gaa-chan probably doesnt know much about sex given his past, so topping would likely lead to disaster. With a guy, he could bottom, where with a girl, obviously, he'd HAVE to top...)

~ Oddly enough, I read a couple fics where Jiraiya topped Iruka and they were...pretty hot. Well, if you can picture the Old Fart as a HANDSOME Old Fart anyway...

I also LOVE threesomes! Especially with any of these aforementioned Hotties... kukukukuku...drools

I HATE most Hetero pairings since most of the girls on the show are total bimbos. Hinata is one of the few I dont mind, but I cant really see her as a main pairing if you know what I mean...

BLEACH
