Salut, tout le monde! Hey, everybody! My name's Girlbender, for Katara, Azula, and Toph; awesome girls who can kick anybody's butt with their bending! I am a major Star Wars, Harry Potter, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Rurouni Kenshin, and Avatar: The Last Airbender fan.

I'm the kind of person who's all for adventure and humor, so most of my stories are like that. I won't read anything that has to do with explicit sex, homosexual couples, and other such couples. The only kind of couple I don't mind is a guy and a girl who are not related in any way.

For those of you who want to know, I do not like the idea of Anakin having Ashoka as a Padawan. It's nothing really against Ashoka (although I've heard that she's quite a Mary Sue, I've never actually watched the new Clone War series or movie), it's just that I don't think Anakin's really ready to have a Padawan in the first place (not to mention it breaks up the Ani/Obi team! Horrors!! O_o )

Well, that's about it for me. I hope you all enjoy my stories, and don't be afraid to give me tips! I need them! Also, PLEASE REVIEW THEM; I can see how many visitors they get through my "Traffic" setting and it depresses me that less than half actually leave a review. :-(

BETA UPDATE:

I'm not accepting any stories or chapters right now because works starting up and I know it's going to get heavy. Sorry!

NOTES:

Hello! Due to severe stress and work piled on top of me, I can only guarantee updating one or two stories at a time for the time being. Sorry!!

The Skywalker Legacy: I'm working on the next chapter right now, so it shouldn't be too long a wait.

The Unbalanced Force: DONE! Oh my, it only took me a little bit over TWO YEARS to finish. -_-' At least I'm finally DONE!! :-D

Imperial Child: DONE! YAY! My first finished story!

Children of Rebellion: I've got ideas for the next chapter and I've already begun working on it. Expect an update soon.

Medic Maleera: I don't know if I'll update this one sooner or not, so hang tight!

Hocus Pocus Jedi: ON HOLD. I removed the old version and am re-doing the intro as of now because it leaves too many questions hanging. So sorry, no quick update in the foreseeable future.

Kita: This will kind of be updated on and off.

Little One: I've still got plenty of more chapters but I'm changing the order of a few things and tweaking my chapters around, so the updates will be steady but not fast.

World of Darkness, Part I: Domino Alternative High School: Whew, what a title. :-P Anyway, I've got practically half of the story written already so the updates should be smooth.

Nubian Rose: This is the Adventure/Romance fic that my readers have voted for on the most recent poll. Since I've got a lot of work and so many other stories, this won't be published for a while.

New stories: I might be bringing in some one-shot fics, so that'll probably slow progress for my other stuff.

Okay, I've got six stories that are all works in progress. If I devoted my time to updating each and every story about once a week, I would barely have time for anything else. I am going to have to warn you all that my updates may be sluggish, but I WILL NOT let you guys hang for too long. I am sorry in advanced for any late updates!

My pet peeves:

1. Character bashing. If you don't like a character, that's your opinion, and as much as everyone has a right to express their opinion, it should be in a well-mannered, polite, and intellectual way, not bashing someone you hate. The whole idea is pretty ridiculous if you think about it considering that the character is a two-dimensional piece of fiction.

2. Heterosexual people turned homosexual. I'm not a homophobiac, but I really, REALLY hate it when people take characters that are quite clearly shown as heterosexual and put them in a homosexual relationship. It really ticks me off.

3. Flamers. If you think that someone could write a story better, than give them a review that has constructive criticism. For those of you who don't know, constructive criticism is when you state what you think is doing well and then you state what you think could use some improvement. All of this is done in a helpful and optimistic light. People post stuff on fanfiction.net to improve themselves, not to get beaten down by people who have neither patience nor intellect.

4. Rabid Fans. I don't mind when people are really into a show, movie, book, etc. but it gets really annoying when something happens in a show or movie and then the fans go "That's not supposed to happen! They did it wrong!" HELLO-O, YOU'RE not the creator, THEY ARE. It really bugs me when someone is ranting on and on about the creators doing it wrong. It's THEIR story. We just get to play in their world. They can do whatever they want to do with it!

QUOTE OF THE MONTH:

Kate: If you're so bored, why don't you read?

Doug: What, you mean like a book?

Kate: That is a traditionally accepted format, yes.

Doug: Is this the beginning of a conversation here?

Kate: I was simply asking if you knew how to read.

Doug: Yes. Doug can read.

Kate: What was the last book you read? You were in college?

Doug: The last thing I read in college was the letter canceling my scholarship when I couldn't play anymore.

Kate: Okay, high school.

Doug: I was a hockey player. The only thing I had to read was a scoreboard.

Kate: And they graduated you?

Doug: They revered me. I was a god.

Kate: What a tragic commentary on our times.

OBITUARY FOR THE LATE MR. COMMON SENSE

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.

He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as: Knowing when to come in out of the rain; why the early bird gets the worm; Life isn't always fair; and Maybe it was my fault.

Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge). His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6 year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get Parental consent to administer Calpol, sun lotion or a band-aid to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband; churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.

Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust; his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason.

He is survived by his 3 stepbrothers; I Know My Rights, Someone Else Is To Blame, and I'm A Victim. Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.
