Author has written 9 stories for Percy Jackson and the Olympians, and Naruto.

Read and enjoy. :)

See that picture there? I REALLY LOOK LIKE THAT.

Not really much to say here, let's keep it ambiguous.

A thank you note to my readers: I never, ever thought in a bajillion years that my oneshots would ever be this popular. Thanks for the support!

Story Status:

Chronicle of Seasons: Sigh, still hoping it will tie up in a good way. It'll be a while.

Illogical: I'm working on it! I will update, I SWEAR.

Kuchiki: I lack the motivation to continue. Apologies...I deleted this story: don't want any one waiting forever. And to the readers who enjoyed this, I'm sorry, I am. Hopefully I can get something else, but I doubt it.

Managers and Other Side Jobs: Wow, a little obsessed with this one. New idea, and hopefully in a different style than Illogical. A long chapter's coming. Hoping it'll pick up more and more fans at it progresses. Still in progress...but at least I know where it's going. :)

Saltines: Now a two shot!

Crossing the Middle Line: Finished. The first multi-chapter thing I have successfully finished. I would like to thank the power of an outline.

Hm, on Naruto pairings, let me say this: not a big fan of Sakura + Sasuke. So, don't expect to see too much interaction between them in my writing...sorry 'bout that. :/



New story ideas?

Antelope Runner: Show business is survival of the fittest. And seeing as country-hick Tenten doesn't even know how to get on Tokyo's subway, she has virtually no chances of living. It's a jungle out there.


Things that mildly irk me in FF

1. Caps: Why do writers feel like putting things in ALL CAPS is equivalent to screaming or loud voices? It is just as effective in lowercase, and it will not give some readers headaches. Of course, sometimes they can be used; but in a yelling match, it's not needed. Trust me.

2. Bolding, underlining, italics: Please don't make each of them equal different things, like written letters or inner thoughts--I don't really care to read that information before starting a story. It's enough to write "the spirit says" "they think". Characters can think things without being underlined. I can understand it's a spell/incantation even when nothing's done to the text. So make it easier for yourself, and just type :)

3. Missing commas or other forms of punctuation: Enough said.

4. Descriptions that really are too long: Three paragraphs describing an outfit are not necessary. Trim down your words! It'll make it easier to read, and allow a bit of room for the reader's imagination.

5. Changing tenses: If it's past tense, keep it that way. Don't change halfway, in the beginning, or at the end.

6. Lots of !: Exclamation points are to be used sparingly. Limit yourself, please. Periods are also great, so don't leave them out.

7. Your You're: PLEASE don't mix these up! They are different.

8. Mary Sues: They shouldn't exist. If they do, we need to eradicate them. IMMEDIATELY.

9. Reviewers who think that not signing their names and blowing insignificant holes in your fic with harsh, condescending words is ok: self explanatory. If you're going to say it, please say it with respect and courtesy of a reader who is just trying to improve the writer. We do need to be set down from our high-horses sometimes, but a good balance of praise and criticism is necessary to not come off as rude. Please and thank you.

That's about it, as more things pop up I'll add them on.

Thanks a ton for reading! Hopefully I won't disappoint in the future.

1. Manager and Other Side Jobs » reviews
Accepting the shady job offer wasn't really one of her best choices…but discovering she threw up on her future boss was even worse. Tenten's new relationship brings a whole new meaning to complete and utter servitude. Nejiten AU.

2. Chronicle of Seasons » reviews
He stared at me for a few seconds, and choked out a few surprising words in a raspy voice. "You're Asian." I frowned. Not really the type of thing people say when they first meet someone, or when they're about to die.

4. Chance Encounters reviews
That humiliating moment where Tenten grabs the shoulder of a person who she thinks she knows, turns him around, and doesn't recognize him. At all. And things just go downhill from there. Nejiten, oneshot.

6. Saltines » reviews
Each time she took the entrance exams, he saw she had crackers in her hands. When he asked her for one, she laughed in his face. And then she ran away. Nejiten, AU. Two shot.

8. Bottled Up reviews
"You're just like that knife." "Are you calling me dull …?" And a fist was planted right in the kisser. He tried to praise her, but could never find the right words. Nejiten oneshot.
