Welcome!

I am Anime Aficionada, your fellow author, illustrator and FanFiction.net cohort. Many appear to address me by condensed forms of former pennames, usernames (over in external websites), and my real name (only if you're close enough to know, that is), so I don't really mind being squared off to just Anime, Aficionada, a_f-chan, or any other nickname you seem to come up with.

Being the indolent twat that I am, I'll just expect you to email me about any personal questions (i.e. favourite colour, hair length, ethnicity etc.) mainly because I cannot be bothered to post them up on my own immaterial whim. Funny that? :D

As a firm disbeliever of discrimination of any sort, I will keenly act to report those who seem to think and/or feel that it is humorous, even entertaining in some way to defeat one another’s soul just by belittling them in the course of bashing, flaming and other forms of maltreatment. It is certainly not “funny” or “amusing” in any way - so just remember, karma will be just as much of a bitch as you are; don’t do to others what you wouldn’t want done to yourself.

Another point I’d notably like to bring up is the ongoing bashing and flaming issue. This site was distributed to encourage writers to, well... write. By means of bashing and flaming for personal hilarity is on no account acceptable - the rules in real life very much the same apply on the net as well. There is a significant difference between constructive criticism and destructive criticism. It will be wise to keep that in mind in the future.

All that ugly stuff aside, it is actually rather hard to get on my bad side, unless you, like, murder my mother or something! But, it would be quite difficult to successfully achieve the such said task anyway. So I suggest that you quit while you’re ahead. Instead, alter your interests towards the fanfiction or artwork (external links will be posted here and there sometime soon) and I hope that you enjoy whatever I have to offer.

Keep Smiling/Writing/Drawing/Reading,
With your stolen two cents of eternal peace,

Anime Aficionada.

Also, to all my beloved readers taking a look at Quantum Reiatsu:

I humbly apologise to all those who have read my fic and are disappointed with my admittedly lacklustre work. Right now, I am in the midst of exam period and it’s vital for me to maintain my grade this year.

As such, I still have been writing (and rewriting/revising previous chapters) in my quite minimal free time, and have gone over my fiction with a very critical eye. I must admit that I regret choosing the base storyline of FMA’s initial anime instead of the manga for my fic. The thing is, the first anime butchered out so many parts (heavenly, great, parts might I add) from the manga, which, to a fan is horrible, but to a fiction writer very pleasant. Why? Because it leaves so much room to work with the plotholes. Even so, I find the manga wholly more satisfying, and by bringing Brotherhood into fruition I greatly applaud Bones. Because, damn. How great did they pull off Ed and Riza’s “You love Winry” scene.

But I digress.

Right now, I’m working out some sort of storyline so that it retains most of the elements and key scenes from the original manga, yet somehow incorporate Edward’s transfer into our world at the same time, as his separation from Winry is crucial to making my storyline map out in accordance.

Again, I would like to express how truly sorry I am, but I suppose it’s just how life rolls sometimes.

Till the next time.

RACISM IS WRONG!

Racism is wrong and can often times destroy people's self confidence. It's a horrible and cruel way to treat people. To prove that we are all alike, try this simple experiment: Hold your hand up to a light of some kind. You'll see a shadow cast nearby. Now, have someone of a different race hold their hand up too. You'll see, essentially, the same image. Five fingers and a palm. Skin color doesn't matter when you get right down to it. If you are against racism, copy this message.

A black man walked into a cafe and sat down. A white man sat down behind him, curtly stating, “Colored people aren’t allowed in here!”

Taken aback, the black man replied,

“When I was born I was BLACK-“
“When I grew up I was BLACK-”
“When I am sick I am BLACK-”
“When I am in the sun I am BLACK-”
“When I am cold I am BLACK-”
“When I die I am BLACK.”

He took breath, ready to continue. “But you sir...-“

"WHEN YOU WERE BORN YOU WERE PINK!-"
"WHEN YOU’RE SICK YOU TURN GREEN!-"
"WHEN YOU STAY IN THE SUN YOU’RE RED!-"
"WHEN YOU’RE COLD YOU TURN BLUE!-"
"WHEN YOU DIE YOU TURN PURPLE!-"
"AND YET YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO DIS MY COLOR!"

The black man turned around the white one walked away in silence.

IS EVERYBODY GOING CRAAAZYYY?!

For me, crazy is a loose term. Crazy is when you stare at a pencil and laugh when someone asks you just what you find so interesting about the eraser. Crazy is when you have an hour long sob-fest, then start singing and dancing when your favorite song plays. Crazy is when you do or say a totally random thing, like "do you ever wonder where the eraser bits go?" or start having a thumbwar with yourself. So if you're crazy, copy this onto your profile.

ARGUMENTS

There's nothing wrong with arguing with yourself. It's when you argue with yourself and LOSE when it's weird. If you agree, copy this and put it in your profile.

HATE EMOS?

READ THIS-

Isn’t it funny that when you go to the shops with your friends you look down at the girl with black jeans and studs but smile at the girl wearing a a mini with a tshirt that barely cover anything?

Isn’t it funny you can change your music taste to impress a girl but when it comes to a girl who likes her own music and her own style, you give her a mouthful?

Isn’t it funny that a guy can get away with being a gangsta but the emo gets a mouthful from everyone.

Are you laughing?

Isn’t it funny an emo can be quiet all through the week but gets more shit from everyone than the girl who sleeps around and sells her virginity?

Isn’t it funny that you dont mind your friends drinking, smoking but the minute someone mentions emo music you can give them a lecture on melodramatic teenage outcasts?

I’m not laughing.

It’s so funny that you and your friends can make a girl’s life hell and not know anything about the silent battle she might be fighting.

Isn’t it funny that you can call emos, punks, goths the retards but still manage to get through your day without an inch of guilt in your heart.

HOW YOU CAN CALL A GIRL OR GUY A POSER, HOW CAN YOU SAY "YOUR NOT EMO" OR "ATTENTION SEEKER" WITHOUT SPENDING A SECOND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY THERE ARE CUTS ON HER WRISTS AND WHY SHE SPENDS HER LUNCHTIMES CRYING INSTEAD OR LAUGHING WITH HER FRIENDS

Keep on laughing.

Isn’t it funny you can say and do all this without any idea of what is going on in this person’s life?

This, without knowing her situation with her/his friends
- or her/his family
- or her/his LIFE

BRAVE ISN’T

- GOING UP ON STAGE AND STRIPPING
- BRAVE IS NOT SAYING A SPEECH.
- OR DUMPING YOUR BOYFRIEND.

BRAVE IS

- GOING TO SCHOOL ON MUFTI DAY AND NOT FOR A SECOND CARE WHAT THE WHORES AROUND YOU ARE SAYING ABOUT YOUR CLOTHES!
- ITS LISTENING TO YOUR OWN MUSIC AND BEING PROUD OF IT!
- ITS GOING THROUGH EVERY DAY WITH THE THINGS PEOPLE SAY TO YOUR FACE AND BEHIND YOUR BACK AND YOU STILL KEEP QUIET!
- ITS KNOWING WHAT YOUR "FRIENDS" ARE SAYING ABOUT YOU AND STILL CALLING THEM YOUR FRIENDS!
- BRAVE IS KNOWING THAT TOMOROW ISNT A BRIGHT AND HAPPY FUTURE!
- KNOWING IT’S ANOTHER DAY OF BITCHING AND DODGING RUMORS!

Keep on laughing.
