I have a love of randomness and funny OOC-ness, and a pet peeve for cliches, Mary Sue's, and Gary Stu's. I am not a big slash person, but I can get into it if it's well-written. I also have a growing fear that if Hollywood continues making sequels of my favorite movies or making my favorite books into movies, they'll ruin everything I know and love. My fave peeps on this site are PhantomKat (my awesome beta), shkamaru15, Tobi'sgoodgirllovesSasuSaku (GG for short), ArcTheJedi, and armywife. They, for lack of a better word, ROCK the fanfictional world.

Yay! If you've read this far, you must like my stories--so go back and review them, for goodness sake! That's the best gift you can give a person like me. Read on, fair readers, read on...
