i'm not very good at writing about myself...i feel conceited and then i feel bad...haha...but...i've been told that i'm pretty good at writing (not that i believe them), but i hope that by posting my stories here and receiving some reviews that i can be proved wrong. but don't count on it.
i sigh right now because my obsession with anime can NOT be expressed in enough words. i can't even call it an obsession because i don't feel obsessed with it as much as i am in LOVE with it.
the novel that i am currently in the middle of writing is the second in a trilogy that i'm hoping can get more reviews than the first story. if not, oh well, i'll just keep trying. i must admit, though, that the chapters are shorter in this one...which may part of the reason it's doing so much better...;
i have also been told that i'm good at suspense. i'd like to think so, but that's not up to me. that would be up to you, the reader. i would also like to think that i've put some good humor in there while also adding something tragic or putting in a good fight, which, btw, i'm not sure if there will be any kind of fighting in this sequel...; A Falcon's Spirit will definitely involve battle, though!! :D
YYH has always been my top favorite, even though i've fallen in love with MANY animes and manga as well. i fear, however, that i don't always have the time to write fanfictions for all of them. i have many ideas for fanfictions for many different animes... not so much manga, though.
The way to my heart is through peanut butter cookies (really just cookies in general. peanut butter just happen to be my favorite) and Reese's.
I have a sister (that is out of this world, totally indescribable, and is always ready for a good laugh) by the name of Shadowess 88!!
Okay! Here's a list of all my pet peeves for all you authors out there! Not only that, but they are good, VERY good, grammar tips:
1. KNOW HOW TO USE A COMMA PROPERLY! in case you don't know what it looks like...it looks a lot like this - ,
2. words such as YOUR, YOU'RE, THEN, THAN, THREW, THROUGH, TO, TOO, THEIR, and THEY'RE...are ALL DIFFERENT WORDS! know which one to use! ugh! i hate this one almost the most! there's more i just can't think of them to list them.
3. periods? ever hear of them? they're not just something girls have once a month...they are actually a part of every sentence you write...USE THEM!
4. past, present, and future tense...which ever you decide to use...STICK WITH IT! however, it's not uncommon to slip up every now and then...i do it, too...i see it, but then i go back and fix it...
5. state who it is that is speaking! for the good Lord, people! unless you only have two people talking and it's pretty obvious who is saying what, then you should be saying, "so-and-so said this" and "so-and-so said that"...otherwise it just gets WAY too confusing...
if i have any more pet peeves, i can't think of them at the moment...but, just because they are my pet peeves, doesn't mean i'm not human...because i am, and because i am human, i make mistakes...just like everyone else...except for JaganshiKenshin...who is the god of fanfiction here on this site...never have i read a better fanfic than JaganshiKenshin's...but, because i make mistakes, i know that the rest of you are human and make mistakes as well...so i forgive you and try to plow through some of the worst grammar-murdering fanfics out there simply because of good plots and character pairings...but mostly good plots...even though half-way through the first chapter i want to pull out my hair from all the grammatical errors...
so, anyway...there you have it...my pet peeves...and a bit of my flaws, but yet, some good qualities i like to think i have...yeesh...i'm way too nice to people...lol
GAH! THAT REMINDS ME!
6. when writing a story...KEEP OUT ALL INTERNET LINGO AND ACRONYMS!! not only is it grammatically incorrect, it is EXTREMELY tacky! some examples of this would be...LOL, JK, ROFL, LMAO, etc...please don't make me list more...it's too excruciating...
7.HYPHENS! they don't-get-placed-wherever-you-feel-like-putting-them...MOST WORDS ARE NOT HYPHENATED! LEARN WHICH ONES ARE AND DON'T HYPHENATE THE ONES THAT AREN'T! it's freaking annoying...
8. the word OF does NOT follow the contraction WOULD'VE...which in case some people don't know, it means WOULD HAVE...seriously think about this...does it make any sense?
9. RECYCLING WORDS OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER...it's quite annoying isn't it? OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER...yeah...that's what i thought...
and now...for a couple of my favorite quotes...
Crazy? Crazy? i was crazy once. they locked me in a room. a rubber room. they told me to get a life. life is a magazine worth 25 cents, but i only had 15...now THAT'S crazy. - my sista, Shadowess 88. it's on her profile anyway...
Honky crap?? - Just 2 Dream of You...newly discovered author that has absolutely amazing work...right after JaganshiKenshin!!
Who is that nun and why is she standing on a rock? - JaganshiKenshin...favorite author on this site...hands down...
COOKIES!! - me...'nuff said...lol
Hey, there's a wall there - my best friend's boyfriend as i am banging my head up against the wall...due to him in the first place...yeah...it's a love/hate relationship...he loves me...i hate him...
Some emotional detachment right there - some kid in my Geometry class while talking about being shot in the foot (don't ask)
i want people to chop up my arms so i can be called "nubby" - another random kid in my Geometry class (I HAVE NO IDEA!! O.O)
You didn't have to die! You could've had a V8! - me (again, don't ask...lol)
EVIL BUNNY!! - Just 2 Dream of You (lmao)
He's probably pissier than a bull that's seen red. - me (lmao)
PINEAPPLES!! - my friends and i that share a joke (if you'd like to hear, then pm me and i'll tell you. LMAO)
I had something funny and witty to say, but i forgot - me...i DON'T know...i forgot...lol
I've heard that it's not wise to piss off a fire demon - a line in A Falcon's Spirit by Hiei himself...lol
