My Story:

Not quite sure what to say here. Not too much to say really. I'm an Italian-American female currently attending college. I'm a hard person to get to know and I don't really share more of myself than is strictly necessary. Humor is my defense mechanism and I'm prone to bouts of deep uncertainty. I'm a Disney kid (born and raised in the classic age of hand-drawn masterpieces like The Lion King and Beauty and the Beast) and my idealism tends to collide painfully with the realities of the world in which I live.

I'm a complete fanatic when it comes to all things anime and manga, especially Inuyasha as it was the first anime that I ever saw. If you ever want to get me talking, the surest way is to bring up an anime, manga, or book that I like. Otherwise I prefer to listen rather than speaking.

I currently only have one fic out there (Behind the Silk Screen) and, short of a massive explosion of creative genius, I probably won't be writing any others until it's finished. I'm afraid, however, that updates will probably be irregular, subject as I am to my creative muse. And to less glamorous things like work and school. That's about it, I guess. Feel free to PM me with any questions or concerns you may have.

My Stories:

Behind the Silk Screen : In Progress- The story of a nation in conflict, courtly intrigue, spiritual unrest, impending revolution, and two people so tangled together by the red strings of fate that not even the silk screen could divide them. A historical AU IYKag romance. Takes place in the classical Japanese Heian period, though I generally only make use of the time period and not the events that happened within it (with a few exceptions).
