Heso. Our names are Jenna and Jesse. You can call us whatever you want, and as long as we recognize it as some twisted version of our name, we will respond to it. A couple recent ones are "twins" and "minty"~ although we have the tendency to sign our fics with -DMTwins-, so feel free to use that, too. We have a tendency to switch between using "we" and "I" to refer to ourselves, so don't get caught off guard by that.

We're gonna share this account, less work maintaining one account rather than two. We co-author most of our stories. We love anime/manga, our favorite being One Piece. We love yaoi but het is just as good. A warning: productivity is cut in half at least when school starts up again. Or, if you want to be optimistic, we're super-productive during the summer XD

We tend to write AU. In fact, a good majority of our fics will be AU, or at least partly AU, because why try competing with Oda's awesome plots? His story is perfect, it's hard to compete with in IUs...I figure I'll save face and borrow his characters for my own stories.

We believe in leaving thorough reviews, that doesn't necessarily mean that the reviews will be long, but I don't want to leave a review where the author will think "Ok, that was pointless" or something else. And on that note, I'm going to point out that if your story has no more depth than a Dr. Seuss book, then my review won't either :P so don't be upset if your 200 word crack-fic doesn't get a very long review. Also, did we mention that we tend to be hypocrites? Yeah, our hypocrisy grows depending on our mood, or how pressed for time we are :P

Most of our stories are based on books or inspired by movies or songs (although you'll never see us write a song-fic) Brownie points to you if you can connect the dots. (Unless you're T... T doesn't get any because that'd be cheating)

If you live in North America, and are dying to get your hands on One Piece Unlimited Cruise, or if you live somewhere else and have pity for us poor One Piece-less fellows, go here!

A note about Dim the Lights--we have EVERY intention of finishing this story... eventually. We haven't looked at it in a while, and the plot needs a lot of re-thinking. Frankly, we have some other stories we're more interested in writing at the moment, but we will (eventually) work our way around to this story again. So, like I said, it will be finished, but you'd be wise to not hold your breath in anticipation XD Unless, of course, you can hold your breath for several days/weeks/months at a time. In which case, carry on.

About us:

Gender: female(s)

Occupation: high school students. As far as money goes, we're the kind of people who really don't want jobs. We babysit our siblings for cash sometimes, otherwise we're just fishing around underneath the couch cushions for spare change which, in my house, tends to work very well... (we have a jar with 80 dollars of couch-change in it!)

B-day: July 22

Goals: My goals...probably to write well, do good work, get hits and reviews, and who knows? Maybe even get fanart for one of my stories...

Dedications:

Kei Luna Shoryu: Yes, this is the elusive "T" that you may hear me refering to (she sometimes refers to herself as KLS~). I am fortunate enough to know her personally, we go to school together. She's a really great friend (we're sisters, though not related by blood) and an amazing author, but she hardly ever uploads her stories! I've gotta twist her arm to make her post anything TT_TT Currently we are co-authoring an OP fic with her. I wonder if it will ever see the light of day... ~ponders~

Splatter Fall: She's awesome, I love her, and I'm not sure she even knows it XD Still, she's great, really fun to talk to, and we have a lot in common. Even our writing styles are similar... ehh, no, that's a lie, she's way better than we are :P

blanc-hiver: We are currently beta-ing for her, and not only are her stories awesome, but she's an all-around fun person to talk to. So go, go and give her the reviews she deserves!

Favorite Animes/Manga: One Piece, Fairy Tail, Great Teacher Onizuka, Bakuman, Naruto, just to name a few...

Likes: Anime, Manga, Drawing, going to the movies, loitering in grocery stores with friends, school(well... more like the people at school), Reading (particularly Dean Koontz), Reviews, Writing Fanfics, Internet, House M.D, and reading Marvel comics (Nightcrawler and Spidey are our favorite XD)

We're in Drama, and we love that to bits. It's really fun, and although it sounds cliche, our thespian troupe really is like a big family. My sisters and I do lights for all the plays, and we're considering doing Choral Reading or Group Inprovisation this year too... the only reason we haven't is because in our Freshman year we didn't think we would like to be on stage, but our Drama director is really fun, so we figured we'd give it a go since we we would all be really good at it (at least in our own minds .)

I also love animated Disney films, but its even better if the characters actually sing original songs, which disney and other animation films don't do often enough anymore...if at all. My favorites include Aladdin, Sinbad and Mulan, and although I only believe in God when it's convenient for me (You can't say I'm not honest...) I still love The Prince of Egypt and Joseph King of Dreams, because of the music and the plot. I'm a complex person...that, or I'm so simple that most people can't wrap their minds around it O.O not sure which.

Dislikes: writers block, 1337 speak, terrible grammar, stupid/annoying people, disrespectful people

Just something I'd like to point out: It's so annoying when One Piece fans post stories with an unbearable OC that has the Will of 'D'. We don't even know what it is, and they're just handing it out like a pamphlet. For all we know, you just gave your OC the One Piece equivalent of AIDS... Think about that >.>

And on that note, I have chosen this moment to apologise for anything I say that may offend someone, because we can be very socially awkward at times.

If you have an original character, try this Mary-Sue test! (It's kinda fun.)

Listening to: Man of Constant Sorrow- Dan Tyminski, 21 Guns- Green Day

Reading: Beowulf by Unknown and the Canterbury Tales by Chaucer

Favorite Books: Fear Nothing, Seize the Night and (soon to be) Ride the Storm(It's the Moonlight Bay series Dean Koontz)

Favorite Class: Our English Literature class! We love it to bits! Our drama director is the teacher, and half of the class are part of our thespian troupe, so we have tons on fun in that class. Not to mention the fact that almost everyone in that class are upperclassmen, and we are taking it as an advanced class, but they're all really good to us (or don't realize that we're not seniors... We had a guy flip out the other day when he asked if there would be homework in a senior class, thinking that we would know XD) Either way, it is the only class I've ever been in that watched Monty Python and called it "Learning about English History." Good fun, good fun~

Favorite Movies:Iron Man, The Shooter, District 9, The Fast and the Furious, The Riddick Chronicles

Favorite Pastime: Reading/writing Fanfics, making AMVs... and E-mails! ( if you suddenly get the urge to E-mail us, especially about a story, feel free), drawing every now and again, sleeping, and obviously we love watching anime/reading manga.

Favorite One Piece Pairings: ZoLu, ZoSan, SanUso, SmoAce, SanNam, SanAce, UsoKaya, ViviKohza, Fem!IvaInazuma, Frobin.

There are some shows (like One Piece) that have few or no canon pairings. I believe that anyone who tries to force a pairing to be canon by pointing out all of the "hard evidance" of said pairing, is a fool. Some shows simply don't have canon pairings. However, I'm totally fine with people creating and enjoying pairings, so long as they don't try to force thier pairing to be the "right one". After all, just because One Piece doesn't have pairings doesn't mean it's not fun to put them into your stories!

Usopp the Warrior:I personally have a problem with people that say that Usopp is a wimp. I mean, he's more badass than a lot of people give him credit for, and it's kind of sad V_V We love Usopp, and frankly, he's awesome, and a badass. Just because he can't lose five or six liters of blood, and isn't willing to stupidly jump into battle without a plan doesn't mean he isn't strong.

Brothers: Luffy and Ace are brothers, brothers.Just because they may-or-may-not be related by blood doesn't change a thing for me. I will still refer to them as brothers, because frankly, when two people are close enough to each other that they say that they are brothers, I don't really care if it's true in a literal sense. Really, the only reason I'm so adamant on this topic is because I have a similar relationship with my brother :D I Love these two--they're the cutest brothers in the manga world~!

We are aiming to write 100 One Piece stories, so naturally we will accept challenges, assuming that they are interesting and that we like the idea. The only limit is that the story must be One Piece.

We are the kind of people that will watch Jurassic Park with bored eyes during all the scenes with the Velociraptors and the T-Rex and then get scared shitless by the little tiny lizard-things with frills(looks like you should be able to punt them, but they're freaky so you don't wanna touch it) You know, the Dilophosaurus that spits the venom in the person-who's-name-escapes-me's eyes? Yeah, nightmares, right there. For some reason the fact that it was tiny and had a frill-thing really scared me, way more than any of the big dinosaurs did... I realise that both of these features were just dramatic liscence taken by the movie... but still O.O

WE DO NOT OWN ONE PIECE OR ITS CHARACTERS! This applies to all of our stories, so don't say we didn't use a disclaimer if I forget! :D
