Heyas, people of Earth, my name is Lionfire5224, and this is my profile. (As if you didn't already know that.) Well, here goes something:
Notes
9/15/08
I'll apologize right now, it'll be a while before I can update Whenever I Fell. The power is completely out in my entire city except for those with a generator. I'm updating this at my county hospital where my mom works. I don't know when the power will be back. It could be tomorrow, it could be Sunday. I'm really not sure. SORRY!!
9/5/08
Whenever I Fell has offically started! I've gotten more reviews on this first chapter than any other chapter in any other story. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you reviewers! You're all amazing! Next chapter should be up sometime soon...TBA.
8/25/08
Love Immortal is not going well. At all. I'm very disappointed in it, and am slowly losing my motivation to continue it. I'm putting in on hiatus for a while. Sorry to the three people who liked it, (loonygrl21, Minerva M Mcgonagall, snakeliontwins,) but I can't keep writing a story that everyone hates. I've got to try something else. I'm hoping to get the first chapter of Whenever I Fell, (it's a Zutara story,) up within a few days. With school back in full swing, it could be a while. I'm gonna take a Harry Potter break for a while. I need a stronger fan base. Sorry to any fans of Love Immortal. I promise I will finish it someday, just not right now. I'm afraid I can't tell you when. Sorry!
About me
Name: As if I'd tell you.
Gender: Female
Age: Again, like I'm dumb enough to tell you. I'm in high school, however.
Location: ShadowClan.
Zodiac: Monkey/Libra.
Fav books/manga: Harry Potter, Warriors, Psychic Academy, Twilight series, Maximum Ride, Love Hina, Yugioh, Sailor Moon, Eragon, (but Eldest isn't as good in my opinion, but I still love it,) and...actually, the list is REALLY long. This a pretty good condensed version.
Motto: I don't suffer from insanity- I enjoy every minute of it!
School: Yeah right. Not telling you! Although I can say that my former private school was also my second home, and that I don't really like my high school. Which is public. The lack of morality drives me nuts!
Religion: Roman Catholic. Confirmed, too.
My BFF-infinity is loonygrl21. She's amazingly awesome, and the best friend I've had, even though we disagree about a LOT of things...especially religion. There are only two people I know on here in real life, and loony's one of them. The other is Joash, but she doesn't have any stories up so I can't favorite her. But she's amazingly awesome too.
I'm extremely sarcastic, it just comes natuarally to me. So I apologize right now if I seem rude.
Opinions
I have a LOT of strong opinions about many things, and you don't even want me to get started on some of them. Let's start with...
Life
The real world, the one we live in, is messed up, I'm not gonna deny that. What with global warming, screwed economies, and 4.00-a-gallon gas, yeah, the world is a messed-up place, and there is every chance that we live in a pre-apocalyptic world. But that doesn't mean I hate life. I LOVE my life. I have great friends, a lot of fun hobbies, and an all-around great life. I feel very blessed, honestly. I firmly believe that you should live life to the fullest, 'cause you've only got one.
Religion
Yeah, I'm a Catholic. We are stereotypically the most narrow-minded religion of them all. And no, I don't agree with everything the Church says. But I do agree with the faith. I believe in God, his son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. I believe that these three are really three parts of one God. It's a very difficult concept to grasp, and even I have trouble with it. So before you go all "Omg, wat the f is she talking about," realize that it's a very abstract concept.
I will never try to force my faith on someone else. Not all Catholics are like that; in fact, I've met very few who would ever force their faith onto someone. I wouldn't diss someone else's faith, and I would appreciate the same respect. Yeah, I'm Catholic. Ok, say you're an atheist. Whatever, get over yourself. I'm not converting, and I don't give a crap as to how you can "prove there is no God." No, no you can't. And I can't prove that there is a God. That's the definition of faith, believing without proof. So back off.
And now I will correct a few common mistakes people often make about Catholics:
1. Being gay is not a sin. Having gay thoughts is not a sin. It's the ACT of having sex with the same gender that is a sin. But I'm finding that I don't believe this. I don't think anything about being gay is a sin, honestly.
2. We do not worship statues. They are used to represent Jesus, Mary, the Saints, etc., but we do NOT worship them.
3. Yes, some statues have moved or done weird things. But we believe that is God's miracle, not the statue. If a miracle has been performed on that statue, it is holy, honored, but not worshipped. It's not that statue that did it, but God.
4. We don't worship Mary or the Saints. We honor them and the holy lives they led, but we do not worship them. Worship is reserved only for God.
5. We don't hate other religions. Yes, some people do hate other religions, but you find that everywhere, not just in the Catholic Church.
6. The Pope is not the leader of the Catholic Church. GOD is. The Pope is just a bishop who is given a bit more power of Church affairs. He does not dictate what we do or what we believe.
7. We really wish other Christians would quit thinking that we aren't true Christians. Yes, we are true Christians. Our faith is the traditional Christian faith, after all. Catholics existed before Protestants.
8. That doesn't mean we think we're superior, we just came first. Look it up.
9. Yes, our Church leaders are rather corrupt. They always have been, always will be. Except JPII. He rocked!
10. Please don't judge us. We're all people, we all have opinions, Catholic or not.
The First Ammendment
It's freedom of religion, not freedom from religion. People need to stop trying to squash out Christian beliefs. We respect you, you respect us, quit bringing up all this drama, let us worship our God in peace, you can do what you want, no one gets hurt.
Gay Marriage
1) Gay marriage is not natural, and as Americans, we always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and lyposuction.
2) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
3) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.
4) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.
5) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Brittany Spears's 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.
6) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.
7) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.
8) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.
9) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.
10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans...
Have PRIDE! Support Gay Marriage!
Harry Potter
Best series ever. I will say very little more except this...
Dumbledore
Very unsure after reading DH. He seemed a lot more manipulative, a lot more cunning, a lot less Dumbledore-ish after reading this. I don't particularly like that. Yes, it makes him more human, but I don't see how Harry could have forgiven him so quickly. I loved the idea about Grindelwald and Ariana, loved every mintute of it, but I really didn't like that Dumbledore seemed to have raised Harry up just to die. It somehow just seems to completely ruin Dumbledore's character. And although I like the idea of him being gay, because it brings up the fact that there's nothing wrong with it, I don't like Dumbledore being gay because that would mess up a lot of my stories, since I really like writing ADMM.
The Trio
Ron is a git. I will never know how Hermione can stand being with him. I know that Ron/Hermione had been building up as the series progressed, and before DH, I could have believed it. He was always a git, but in DH...no. After what he did, the way he acted, I just couldn't see it anymore. I am a firm supporter of Harry/Hermione now.
Harry is awesome. He is a well-developed character. He has his insecurities, his evil tendencies, and his over-whelming sense of justice and goodness. He is not the most intelligent. But he is brave. His deepest nature is one of kindness. But he is much to predjudiced against the Slytherins, and during HBP, his obsession with Malfoy drove me nuts. Some people hate how angry he always was, but I loved it. You could just feel the emotional turmoil in him, and it just made him more realistic. Harry rocks.
Hermione is possibly my favorite character. I just don't see how she could have chosen Ron over Harry. She and Harry were like, made for each other. Hermione is intelligent, she is realistic and level-headed, but not without her faults. Yes, she is stubborn, and she also has these foolish hopes, and a constant misunderstanding of some things. coughSPEWcough But at the same time, she is the least predjudiced of the three. She is the balance between them, the one that holds them together. She is also the wisest, seeing what the others can't. Like, if the world wasn't so predjudiced, blah blah blah...
Ginny
I have no problem with Ginny/Harry, except that it interferes with my Harry/Hermione fantasies. Ginny is a very realistic girl, very strong. She is one of the best Gryffindors JKR writes. I don't care what people think, she is not a Sue, and she does not think of Harry as some sort of glamour figure. She has boundless inner strength, which, OMG! some people have.
McGonagall
Minerva is amazing, and she doesn't get enough screentime. She was totally in love with Dumbly, I don't care what JKR says. The signs are all there, just scan the books thouroughly and you'll see it too. And if you don't, well back off anyways, 'cause in my world, they were in love, whether they confessed it or not. And Minerva is just awesome. She has a sense of quiet dignity, nobility, and morality. I love it, she rox, GO MIN!
Luna
Best. Character. Ever. Forget what I said about Hermione being my favorite. It's totally Luna.
Snape
Probably the most interesting character in the whole series. I won't lie, I cannot write any good stories concerning Snape, because I can't capture him the way JKR did. His love for Lily was boundless, and I think that's amazing. He had a crush on her even when they were kids, and I think it's great that love like that can last. Although I hated him in the first few books, up until GOF. Then I was intrigued by him. And in HBP I absolutely hated him. But in DH...omg. 'Nuff said.
Avatar- The Last Airbender
Kataang
I used to support it, up until season two. Then, it just seemed so unrealistic. Katara doesn't think of him in a romantic way. He's more of a son to her than anything. She's his teacher, and a mother figure. How many of you would have a romantic relationship with your teacher or mom? Yeah, didn't think so. Of course, Aang loves her, and that one-sided love is completely realistic. But Katara loving him the same way? Can't see it. He's more of a son to her, and she loves him in that way.
Zutara
Now this one is realistic, but only on certain circumstances. First of all, I'm quite sure that Zuko liked her ever since the first season. Katara probably didn't think of the same way, but after the second season, she knows that he is not who she thought he was. Then in season three, if they were ever going to end up together, there would have to be a reckoning between the two. Another way Zutara could end up happening was if Zuko had chosen differently in the season two finale. Either way, it would be a gradual thing. But that's the way it ususally is with all romantic relationships, so, there you go. This is without a doubt my very favorite Avatar ship. Plus, they're just so cute together!! And they've got the whole "yin-yang" thing going on.
Iroh and Zuko
I love their relationship, I really do. I like thinking about what would have happened right after Zuko was banished, and how they became close as they did. What I don't understand, is why Zuko chose Azula over Iroh and Katara. What drug were the writers on, seriously?
Azula
She's an extremely complicated individual. Despite her sadistic nature, there is a damaged side to her. She interests me more than any other character, even Zuko. One day, I will have a fic up about her, but that won't be for a while.
Maiko
Worst pairing ever. No more needs to be said.
Tokka
Unrealistic. She's twelve. He's fifteen. No real romantic relationship will ever develop. Suki is much better for Sokka.
Taang
Much more realistic than Tokka, although it would have to develop slowly, the same as Zutara. My second favorite ship, Sukka being the third favorite. Aang needs someone to keep him grounded, and Toph needs someone who will let her just be. They are so perfect for each other!
My Fics
My fics are often angsty, sometimes dramatic, and sometimes light and fluffy. Often there is a darker element even to the fluffiest stories, such as The Season of Love. Here are my policies on some of the the themes I use
Romance
Romance will be in most of my fics. It's such a common element in literature, and let's face it, who doesn't love a good romance story? My main ships are AD/MM, HP/HG, Zutara, Taang, and...actually, just those four are my faves. There will be no romance scenes above T level.
Slash/Femmeslash
I have no problem with homosexual people. I treat slash the same way I treat het fics- I use no inappropriate behavior. I may write some slash fics, but don't expect me to go into sexual details, because I will not. As with het couples, I will not write anything above T level. Slash is not my favorite thing to write, and I'm extremely bad at it, so don't expect all that much out of me.
Abuse
This is a very sensitive topic, and I will use it many times. Abuse includes molestation. I like to dig deep into the emotions of the characters who have suffered the abuse, whether it be physical or mental. There is already a fic up that has Minerva being abused by her husband, so this theme will come up again in the future, most likely. I try not to make the scenes too graphic, and most likely I will just mention it, and not describe it in detail. However, there may be some scenes where I will describe it, but I won't get too graphic. If I want something horribly gross and gory to happen, I will not descirbe the happening, just the affects. If I abuse is one of the main themes of the story, and not just as side plot as it is in The Season of Love, the story will always be rated M.
Self-Injury
Also very sensitive. Also will be used. It's fun to delve into the emotions of the person who is injuring themself. I do not cut, and I don't approve of that sort of behavior. Also, as with anything, I will not get too graphic. Because of the sensitivity of this subject, any stories with self-injury will be rated M.
Rape
I will never describe it in detail. I may mention it, but never detail. And I may only mention it to help develop a plot. Never will I go into any detail whatsoever. The only reason I write this stuff is to delve into the emotions of the person. Rape will never be a central theme of any story. Any story that includes rape will be rated M.
Vulgar Language
I try not to include too much cussing. I believe it is a sign of unintelligence, and most characters are indeed intelligent to a certain extent. However, there are times when these words just slip out, and those moments are sometimes included in my stories. I never use the F word, or G-d--it. Never. Any story with cussing in it is rated T.
Ships
My main Harry Potter ships are ADMM and HPHG. I've recently taken a liking to Harry/Luna, though. I also kind of like HPGW, and NLLL. A far as slash goes, I like Ginny/Luna and Remus/Sirius. However, I make a point to only read good slash, but same goes for het, I suppose. In Avatar TLA, my main ships are Zutara, Taang, and Sukka. I really don't like any slash ships in that series. Zutara is what I'm most likely to write, with Taang and Sukka as side plots, perhaps.
OC's
Someday I would love to write a story about an original character. But that won't be for a while. I do include OC's in a lot of my fics, but they have never been the protagonist of any of them. The most important OC I've written so far is Professor Evantrele from Love of the Lioness. She was a pretty major character. Also, Artemis McGonagall in Season of Love was fairly important as well.
