Hey everyone! Thanks for coming to my profile ... sorry for scarring you for life.

Should you ever find the need to communicate with me, I sign most messages with the name "Red" (Short for Redandblackbeads. I was thirteen when I came up with the name. Head-desk-slam.)

I like writing Avatar and Final Fantasy, and reading Harry Potter ... though I might write one of those in the future.

As Equals has started off better than expected. I promise, I will continue with this story for as long as I can - I already have at least fifteen, maybe twenty chapters planned out, so you don't need to worry that I will abandon the story any time soon. In addition, the the distant plot - from about chapter thirty or so to fifty - is roughly sketched out. The story is very different from Canon, and several of the characters are OOC ... I realise this, but it is all with a purpose - sooner or later, they will be in character (or fall out of it, as the case stands.) Just not yet :).

Now, an important notice (or, at least, I feel that it is one.) I have what is commonly referred to as Asperger's Syndrome. One of the aspects that I have ... obtained from this condition, is the inability to efficiently decipher the intricate details of social interaction. All in all, I find it hard to understand why people do what they do. This may or may not reflect in my writing; because of this, I hesitate to say, "handicap," I have had to study social interactions more thoroughly than "normal" people, so I guess you could say I understand the technical side of it more than the average human. I'm no expert, but I have had to work harder to interact normally among my peers, so I guess I have a deeper knowledge of how it all works. Just a little notice. In case you were wondering. Which you probably were not. Sorry, I just needed to splurge somewhere. Anyway, moving on...

So ... info about me. Not that you really need to know. 16 years old, short blonde hair, blue eyes, Pakeha (White Skinned New Zealander) with two younger siblings to distract me from writing. The joys of life.

Ah. And it might help to know that I am female.

Until next time,

~Red aka Caitlin
