Take a look around you, nothing´s what it seems
We're living in a broken home of hopes and dreams,
Let me be the first to shake a helping hand.
Anybody, brave enough to take a stand,
I've knocked on every door, on every dead-end street,
Looking for forgiveness and what's left to believe
~Have a Nice Day by Bon Jovi~

You may see that I've disabled PMs. No, it's not because I've been getting hate mail from some n00bs who I flamed, or from someone who flamed me. My e-mail still isn't working. D8 Anyway, I decided to enable PMs on my alternate account. Clicking that little link right there should bring you to it, unless I scewed up with the hyperlink again. . .

9/02/08: 'Tis September. Let's see if I can update more fics this month than in August. Fat chance, though. I've slipped into procrastination mode, and when you couple that with writer's block, you get a lazy author who can't even write the crap one so often finds in the Warriors fandom. I'm trying to write a Harvest Moon drabble about Takakura, though. Key word: trying.

Hmm. Well, I suck at describing myself. Anyone who has read this section before will know this. But, let's see if I can redeem myself, shall we?
I like to say I'm a pessimist. A lot. Honestly, though, if you were to take a glass of water, put water in it, set it in front of me, and ask me if it's half full or half empty, I'd say half full, because, when you look at it logically, it is half full. No glass of water is going to dictate my outlook on life, I promise you that. However, people keep thinking I'm an optimist. Considering the fact that every time I lose track of one of my DS games - which happens a lot, because I have short-term memory problems and can't remember where I put them - I freak out and think it somehow found its way into the furnace or it was tossed into the garbage, I always think these people are nuts.
That aside, I'm also claustrophobic. I have no idea why I'm afraid of enclosed spaces. There's no scarring childhood experience of being trapped in a small cave with bats, huge spiders, and rats - none of which I'm particularly fond of, but I can stand them - that I can remember. Still, I'm afraid of enclosed spaces, and what can you do?
So far, you know I'm a pessimist who contradicts myself, I have short-term memory problems, and I have claustrophobia. Pleasant, isn't it? Well, I also have a very addictive personality, hence the fact I spend half my time playing video games. None of these games - except for Super Smash Bros. Brawl - involve beating the crap out of anybody. In fact, my favorite games are the Ace Attorney series and the Harvest Moon games, the latter being the game where you are least likely to beat up Bowser with a baseball bat. Courtroom games and farming sims for the win! XD
I read, too. Some of my favorite books are the Harry Potter series, the original Warriors series (almost everything after book three in the New Prophecy series is a mess of recycled and cliche plots), The Book of Story Beginnings, which I recently read, and Heidi, even though Clara's getting well is an impossibility. Then again, it was written in the 1880s, so you can't blame the author. Most of the fics I read on this site are either excellent in plot, description, grammar, and spelling, or need constructive criticism. Badly.
I don't kiss the ground that the Jonas Brothers walk on. Almost all of my RL friends (the girls) are in love with them, and the guys love Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana, but that's another rant altogether. I think that's pathetic. How can someone find a guy with sideburns attractive? The group aren't even that good of musicians. The only reason they're this popular is because teenagers are easily influenced by the media, myself included. There are two reasons why I hate pop stars:
1. Their music sucks, and I tend to judge bands more by their music, not how hot they are. (They aren't even hot, but I can't really stray off-topic right now.)
2. I was introduced to rock at an early age. By the time I actually started paying attention to pop stars, I'd grown attatched to rock music.
Other than my dislike for pop and the majority of new rock, the following is one of the most important things (read: the most important thing) about me: I'm Christian. I always have, and always will, believe in God. I'd quote C.S. Lewis, but. . . I forget the quote. :(
. . . I reckon that's all you need to know at present. You can find me at three differnet forums. Links to all of them are in the Links section. Duh. Ask for Alette if you want to talk to me.

Multi-Chapter Stories
1. How Does It Feel? - How does it feel, to know you will never become a warrior? How does it feel, to know you will never see? How does it feel, to be driven from your home? How does it feel, to be in a love triangle and be the loser? A collection of eight one-shots from the point of view of those who are hated, or are never spared a second glance.
Status: Complete.
Thoughts: I'm glad I'm finished with this. It took me forever. :(
2. What Hides in the Night - Midnight was killed before she could warn the Clans, and the badgers succeeded; the lake territory is theirs once again. Almost all the Clan cats have been killed, save for a few survivors. Those survivors are injured, alone, hungry, and helpless as they grapple with the elements, unless they band together for survival.
But no one would ever have suspected that there is another, more terrible threat than the badgers lurking in the night, nor that they are plotting an attack that could wipe out the remaining Clan cats forever. They leave nowhere for the survivors to run, nowhere for the survivors to hide. . . unless the wildcats help them with something else entirely.
Status: In progress.
Thoughts: Updated. Again. Yay. Again.
3. Impasse - An impasse is a predicament from which there is no easy escape. It was also the perfect word to describe the situation of the Hawthorne sisters.
Status: In progress.
Thoughts: -loves-
4. The_Smallest_Thing - You never know when something, no matter how small, will appear in your life. . . and then proceed to rip it apart so completely it can never be mended.
Status: In progress.
Thoughts: I love this, even if I just started it. I dunno why, really. Do I need a reason?
One-shots
1. Nightmares- On a midnight hunt, Darkstripe is forced to hear a message he doesn't want to hear from a voice that won't leave him alone ... Darkstripe/Brindleface.
Status: Complete.
Thoughts: It's okay, for a one-shot I wrote out of pure boredom.
2. Dry Your Tears - After her traumatic first case, Mia tries and fails to get on with her law career. She probably would have quit, if a certain coffee addict hadn't tried to stop that from happening ...
Status: Complete.
Thoughts: Well, it implies Mia x Diego, one of my favorite pairings. Seriously, who doesn't like Miego?
3. Last Promise - She didn't want him to go, she thought it was dangerous. But, if there was one person who could talk her around, it was him. And, unfortunately, she turned out to be right.
Status: Complete.
Thoughts: How the heck did I write a one-shot this long? Then again, I had a lot of stuff to cover. Anyway, another Miego one-shot. Joy.
4. Who Is He? - Phoenix sees a photo of Mia and a man he doesn’t recognize, and he can’t help but ask: Who is he?
Status: Complete
Thoughts: Mia x Diego. Again. Anyway, I really like this one, even if I constantly forget the title. I hate my short-term memory. :)

How many times has someone begged for reviews at the end of each chapter, and when you give them friendly, well-intended criticism on how to make their story better, you suddenly get shouted at by the author of the fic and their loyal reviewers?
It happens to me way too often. Well, technically, my criticism isn't really that friendly. I like the harsh approach best. But it's always well-intended. And that counts for something.
Let me be clear on one very, very important point here; I do not flame actual stories. I have been given very angry review replies, both of my accounts have been blocked, and I have, of course, been called a flamer by countless n00bs. (I say countless because about fifty percent of the stories I give constructive criticism to are deleted, not because I can't count. XD)
However, I do flame "fics" that are illegal on FF. These are mostly in the Warriors fandom; the naming guides, the Create a Cats, the Ask fics, the Truth or Dare "stories", and fics that steal ideas from another story that was on the site before it was. These aren't real fics, and I tend to point this out very bluntly when I review them. This is the only time I will admit to flaming. Everything else is constructive criticism that no one seems to be able to take. The exceptions to what I just said are the whole Phoenix Wright fandom and the odd Harvest Moon writer; they can take constructive cricitism, and they rock because of it. :)
