Hey everyone, sorry for having fallen completely off the earth... I had quite some drama the past many moons, not unlike a fanfiction story in itself... I hope to get back in action at some point, and thank so much for all the reviews I'm still getting for the stories I've written!

I don't consider any of my stories 'discontinued', just 'on hiatus' if you see that the update date is like crazy old. =) I have to really get into the mood of the story in order to write, and I can only be writing one story at a time when the bug bites me...so, yeah, that's why... Current story in the grind is my AtLA fanfic: Catacombs of Destiny! Check it out!

Name: cyathula

Age: decrepit.

Country: USA

About me: I would call myself a neurotic eccentric. My humor is mostly dry, sarcastic, and falls in the darker category most of the time. A friend of mine pointed out that I almost always fall for the 'bad guy that turns good'. Still appears to hold true to this day.

About my likes and dislikes: I hate tragedy. But they are the best fuel to get me started on writing something. I think I get most of my inspiration trying to right something that seemed so unfair. So yeah, my stories are mostly reversals of tragic misfortunes for the most part. If you love tragedy, the world's full of it, and I don't care to voluntarily add to it! Also, I love constructive critiques and open discussion on how to improve on writing.

Music: I mostly like listening to game music from most of the games I've ever played. I also like listening to backgroundy music like Thievery Corporation, Air, Massive Attack, and ATB. Good for an over-daydreamy mind. When I work on monotonous things, I like to listen to podcasts like Stuff You Should Know.

Games & Anime: I would normally classify myself now as an ye-old-school-gamer who grew up on Final Fantasy 1,4,6,7, Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger, Super Metroid, Zelda: Link to the Past.

Um, what else, I used to watch a lot of anime, favorites being Escaflowne, Dragonball (the manga), Slayers, and Kenshin (especially the OVA's)... a new manga I just read is Monster.

Books: As far as books, I definitely don't read as much as I should. I generally read fantasy books and some non-fiction. I do like Harry Potter (all but book 5, and I'm lukewarm towards 6). Did read Twilight, which was a fun series. Am keeping up with the 'A Song of Ice & Fire' series (by George RR Martin). On the other side of the spectrum, is my favorite book of all time, Pride and Prejudice, by the excellent Jane Austen. I have two copies of the book (don't know why) and I've watched my copy of BBC's miniseries of P&P only about 20 times (and counting).

Pairings: I'm not a huge 'shipper fanatic but I do got some preferences. As far as my writing style, I really don't like fluffy romantic stuff, especially if it's just dripping with splenda and whatnot. I'm more the action/adventure and if someone likes someone, then it should be obvious by the way they interact and talk to each other. I have issues with yaoi, incest, and stuff, it makes me squeamish when they're not that way to begin with.

Favorite pairs:

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Zuko x Katara (I have no problem with Maiko, but if Katara hadn't gone down the path of annoyance later in the series, they would have made a much more interesting pair). For the record, Aang hasn't even reached puberty yet; to me, he and Katara are definitely, strictly of a sibling/mother-figure relationship.

Tekken 6BR: Lars x Alisa (she's got human in her), Jin and Asuka, Kazuya x Jun

Tales of Symphonia: Kratos x Anna, Kratos and Lloyd (FATHER-SON fluff), Sheena x Zelos, possibly Regal x Presea (when she grows up physically, they'd definitely be very good friends anyway), possibly Yuan x Raine (if done right)

Final Fantasy IV: Kain x Rydia (the one I'm most interested in!), Cecil x Rosa ('cause they're both wonderful boring saints!), Edge can stay married to himself

Final Fantasy VII: Zack and Cloud (yes, great brotherly/best friendness), Zack x Aerith, Cloud x Tifa

Final Fantasy Tactics: Delita x Ovelia (If only they never included that stupid scene at the very, very end! Aaargh, it plagues me!!)

Escaflowne: Van x Hitome (they were smiling at the end because she was gonna come back to Gaia very SOON)

Slayers: Xelloss x Filia (except in my world, Filia's not such an airhead), Lina x Zelgadis

Zelda: Link x Midna (sadly I don't think they'll ever work it out...). As far as Zelda, I can't help but think of Zelda as kinda Link's sister, they just never seemed all that romantic. It's like saying Mario is going to hook up with Peach.

Harry Potter: Draco x Hermione (funky, yes)

Dragonball: Vegeta x Bulma (because it's so weird! Wow, I haven't thought about them for years... yeah I still like them!)
