x About Me x
Name
You may call me Paper-Dreams-Are-Made-Of-These, or Paper Dreamer for short.
Age
Not quite a child, not quite an adult.
Location
It's not where you are. It's where you'll go.
Dreams
As the name would suggest, I want to be a writer.
It's a long story, but here's the abridged version: I read a lot as a child, watched a lot of "weird" cartoons (Cardcaptors, Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokémon, Anime dubs). The cartoons gave me "different" ideas, and by the time I was starting middle school, I began imitating what I read. (All good works probably come from imitating art imitating art imitating life). Now, I write my own stories.
Must Know
-My Family is supportive of my writing, but my Brothers are extremely supportive with all I write, including Fanfictions for animes. They're probably the only ones who're not scared of my 'darker' works, excluding my mentor/editor. (you know who you are!)
-Music is all with me, I accept any type of music.
-I have friends, but not really any best friends.
-I fall into obsession easily.
-I am President of a Youtube Group.
-I’m slow. I am oblivious to the updates on games, information, anime, everything.
-Little Bro is Following in my footsteps! He's InkHeart XIII and I am now his proud editor!
-Delights in Romantic plotting, whether it's with my friends, teachers, TV characters, Anime Characters.
-Had to put up with parents who simply hated KidsWB Anime Dubs.
Hobbies
-Piano.
-Writing stories, poems, quotes, short stories, songs.
-Reading anything I can get my hands on.
-Watching movies, anime, old cartoons from my youth, crime dramas.
-Skating with fuzzy socks on hardwood floors.
-Walking in the Woods.
-Swimming
-Playing Pokemon on my Gameboy.
-Blowing bubbles.
x On Writing x
About My Writing
-I write to release and capture. Release bottled emotions, Capture a certain feeling.
-I normally write dark, angst, depressing original stories. I don't know why.
-Fluff is getting very difficult to write for me.
-My ideas snowball. One leads to another, and another, and another...
-It takes time for my stories to develop. Sometimes because I feel I have to research it to make it more realistic.
-I Plan. I make character profiles, I make setting maps, and I am detailed. Every little detail counts.
-Inspiration is in the least likely places, in the smallest things.
-My Grammar is horrible. My Spelling is atrocious
-Expect first chapter to be short.
-Trade Secret: My best ideas come in the shower or in a pool.
-Techno is Brain Fuel. Seriously, just type your first draft to some DDR music or something. It feels brilliant.
About Other People's Writing
-I enjoy happy writing, Fluff included.
-As always, the golden rule for all writing: Show us, don't tell!
-Romance is one of my favorite genres on this site, but I dislike Citrus.
-Paragraphs are good. Please space them so.
-I prefer not to read stories with Original Characters on Fanfiction. I DO enjoy stories that somehow have to do with the concept of the story. Like a time-skip, or a person doing something related to the original story.
-Role-play Stories (In other words, characters from one story in the roles of another story's plot.(For example, the cast of Naruto in The Breakfast Club.) These are entertaining, but very few can be pulled off, if they stick to the storyline.
-Out Of Character. Unless it involves some logic, a reason for this, I don't read.
-Fairy Tale Remix. I really enjoy this; I even might do a few of my own.
-Alternate Universe has got to be one of my favorite unofficial genres. My favorites are Kingdoms and High School.
-Crossovers: has to be with a related show, like Naruto and Bleach. Polar Opposites, Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokémon, do not mix well.
- If you decided to abandon a story, please have the decency to delete it. I hate being led on like that. Thinking that this amazing story will one say be finished, and I see it hasn't been updated since 2003. Five years is a long time to wait.
x On Anime & Cartoons x
I was one of those children who grew up on shows like Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh without knowing that they were Japanese. I got my first manga, Tsubasa volume 1, from an old boyfriend when I was thirteen. A year after that, I began watching Cardcaptor Sakura in subtitled and buying manga. (at the disapproval of some friends and family)I prefer some Subtitled for my favorite animes, and Dubbed versions if they aren't that different from the manga. I also watch Dub for convience.
Flames against my position on Sub/Dub are not welcome.
I enjoy cartoons with an actual plot and superheroes. It disappoints me how much the industry has gone down. I enjoy some mindless entertainment, just not overly stupid. '90's cartoons are the best though, and Butch Hartman's.
