You'll have noticed that it's been a while since I last updated - life's been hectic (I've started college and finished my GCSE's) and I have absolutely no inspiration... I haven't given up on any of my stories, but don't hold your breath for an update :P

:P

There's not really much to say about myself, except that I LOVE Fullmetal Alchemist!! I love you Edo-kun!! I also absolutely adore NCIS, as well as the many CSI's (especially CSI New York; Mac's cool!). I have also recently become obsessed with House - what's better than a sarcastic cripple who's also a genius?

I do write some stories, but I really tend to lack in time, which makes it rather difficult... Any writing that I do tends to happen either during my tutor time at school or during my weekends, when I get very easily distracted. (Blame my short attention span.) :S This means that the liklihood of me writing many long or multi-chapter fics is slim, and any that I do write will take time. :P

Reading NCIS, I have noticed multiple fanfictions with slash pairings... My eyes! They BURN!

I mean, seriously, would Gibbs ever actually go out with Tony? Nope, let alone have sex with him. Its, its... Well, it's inconceivable >.> Same with Abby and Ziva pairings... Come on People! Whats is the likelihood of that ever happening?? And henceforth, due to my strong dislike of slash pairings, if anybody ever requests me to write any, I will say NO! :P

Description/ About Me

PenName: Sora Livana aka. Shamara Resi, Hiding in the Shadows, The Shadow Alchemist (Hmm... There seems to be a recurring theme here...) :D Oh, and Buckles, for some reason beyond my knowledge...

Age: ... 16

Hair Colour: Blonde/ Brown

Eyes Colour: Blue

Location: The United Kingdom (Y'know, it's a good thing that I like rain...)

Anime: Fullmetal Alchemist! I also like Naruto, Shaman King and Deathnote as well :D

TV series: NCIS! WOOO! Gibbs is AWESOME. I also quite like CSI: New York and I adore House. (why are American TV Shows always the best?)

Hobbies: Drawing, cuddling my cat (Bramble! And little Yuffie, her black kitten that I've kept from her litter), checking out all of my sites and writing Fanfiction (when I have time!)

Things That I Hate: The major things that I hate are drink and drugs. I mean, what exactly is the point? If you drink alcohol, you make a fool of yourself and ruin your liver, and if you take drugs you mess up your mind forever and waste the rest of your life and money trying to sustain the habit. I mean, seriously? I also loathe 'chavvy' people. I won't say chavs, as I have some friends who would probably classify themselves as that, but I really can't stand people incapable of stringing together a proper sentence, whom boast about getting drunk and taking drugs on a regular basis and whom go around thinking they're better than everyone else, despite the fact that they're NOT (like numerous people at my school). I also can't stand people who don't use proper english and yet still post up fanfictions full to the BRIM with it. Oh, and script-style gives me a headache...

:D Well, that's the rant over! Onto the happy stuff...

If anybody wants to look at any of my pictures, here's the link to my Deviant Account (they're not great, but I don't care :P)

I also have an account on FictionPress... It's not as active as this one, but I have a really awesome story on it called 'The Hunt', which is about a vampire :)

- Tony and Kate (NCIS)
- Roy and Riza (Fullmetal Alchemist)
- Scar and Lust (Fullmetal Alchemist)
- Pinako and Armstrong (Fullmetal Alchemist)

Completed Works on Fanfiction:-

- Paperwork - Children played happily amongst themselves and yet, on this glorious day, Colonel Roy Mustang was stuck inside doing paperwork. Again. Parental RoyxEd with slightly bad language... (Fullmetal Alchemist)
- Listen - The rain pounded heavily onto the sodden ground, drenching the teenager stood there, head bowed, water pouring down his face... It was all his fault. Angsty songfic, written about Ed. (Fullmetal Alchemist)
- Cracked - Looks like Mustang's subordinates have been up to something, and where IS Havoc? A short, slightly humourous (depending on how many times you've been hit over the head) oneshot based around life at Central HQ. (Fullmetal Alchemist)
- Whispers in the Rain - A Fullmetal Alchemist and Harry Potter crossover, complete with 25 chapters including an epilogue for both the HP world and Edward Elric.
- To Be Loved - The engine of the car roared as she pressed her foot down hard on the accelerator. Blatantly ignoring the stoplight and the other cars’ horns blaring at her loudly, she kept on driving, barely able to see the road through the tears pouring from her eyes.. (NCIS)
- What Are Friends For? - Abby's having a long night, not to mention a rough time. But she's not alone; a friend is there to give her a helping hand and a shoulder to cry on. Abby and McGee, a friendship fic. (NCIS)
- Something More -My take on how Jimmy and Michelle's relationship became something more than when it first started... (NCIS)

Currently working on:-

- When it Rains - A trip to arrest a suspect has disastrous consequences for the NCIS team... will they survive? And, more importantly, will anybody notice if they haven't? (NCIS)
- Always There - His wrists were burning, and he could feel blood trickling between his fingers. Ropes cut deeply into his flesh, hurting with every slight movement, blistering the skin... was started off as a oneshot, but decided to continue after some very kind reviews :) (NCIS)

Completed works on Fictionpress:-

- Hunted - Silently I move, nothing more than a shadow in this strange, seemingly perpetual twilight... A short story I wrote a while ago from the POV of a vampire.
- The Twilight Hour - I walk, yet the footsteps that I hear are mere echoes from the far reaches of my memories, repeating over and over again like a broken record... . I am a mere spirit, a memory imprinted on this land, frozen in time, unable to do anything. Very short.
- Caged - Even death is better than the suffering that she has to live with... Not suicidal, an attempt to write in present tense.
- The Crow - A short poem, based entirely around the last two lines of it :P

I support this a hundred and ten percent

I don't care if you're gay or straight, everybody needs love.
I don't care if you're diseased with an incurable sickness, everybody deserves a chance.
I don't care if you're ugly or pretty, everybody has flaws.
I don't care if you're black or white, everybody has the same capabilities.
I don't care if you're weird, everybody needs to change.
I don't care if you're rich or poor, everybody needs warmth.
I don't care if you're different, everybody is.

~Ninety-eight percent of teenagers have tried smoking pot. If you're one of the two percent who hasn't, copy this and paste it in your profile

~There's nothing wrong with arguing with yourself. It's when you argue with yourself and LOSE that it's weird.

~98 percent of teenagers do drugs, have sex, and drink alcohol...put this in your profile if you like bagels.

~92 percent of teenagers have moved onto rap. Put this on your profile if you ROCK!
