"The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction has to make sense."
-Tom Clancy.

I am 21, female, and completely uninteresting.

Most of my fics need, at the very LEAST, a dusting off. In fact, OH DEAR LORD don't read anything I've written. Skip straight to my favorites and chew on those while I straighten out my own fics. NO. REALLY. The only thing I would perhaps suggest reading is "Walk This Way." And even that's not much to look at.

Those fics in the Invader Zim fandom need serious work and will probably never get it. I say "probably" and not "definitely" because on the odd occasion one of my muses will sit up and go, "Hey, remember that fic Yonder? Wasn't that gonna get a major overhaul?" So while I certainly wouldn't suggest holding your breath (not that I think there are actually people out there waiting for me to rewrite and update, but hey, who knows?) the possibility does exist.

About my Final Fantasy VII stuff:

My Funny Valentine is, unfortunately, dead. I hit a snag in the plot, set it aside to stew in its own juices, came back when I was little older and realized that it just isn't a very good story. It has some interesting elements to it, but I could never explore them properly without first investing either a butt-load of free time that I don't have into a story that has lost my interest, or a butt-load of contrivance into a story that doesn't deserve that kind of mistreatment. Besides all that, MFV needs a complete over-haul, since I was, judging by the state of that fic, an illiterate moron at the age of 15.

Moving on.

I've written more fanfiction for FFVII than for any other, but very little has been posted. At some point toward the end of 2007 Rufus ShinRa popped up in my head and started acting like a muse, so many of my potential fics center around him, though not all of it. None of my stuff really involves pairings, so unless it's specifically listed as "Romance" then it's not. It's gen.

What I really need is a sounding-board/beta reader. If you're interested in helping me out, send me your creds in a PM!

Most of my writing will now be posted to my journal on LJ: Writeinthehead. Please follow me there.

Other "Sections" I've dipped my toe in and MAY eventually post one or more stories for:

Avatar: the Last Airbender

DC Comics

Disney

Danny Phantom

Final Fantasy X

House, M.D.

Kingdom Hearts

Stargate SG-1

The Legend of Zelda

and (heaven help me)

Yu-Gi-Oh (thanks, littlekuribo /sarcasm)

Concerning my C2:

If you're here, you should also check out my C2, and tell me if you're interested in joining!(plugalug-lug)
If you want to suggest a piece please do, but I would rather you just joined my staff, even if it's only to add one or two pieces. Who knows-- in the future you may stumble across more fics you think are worthy, and think, "hey! it's a good thing I'm staff there, or I'd have to PM that lazy bum and tell her to put a story in, and who knows if she'll ever get around to it!"
IMPORTANT: PleasepleasePLEASE do not suggest one of your own fics to me. I'm sorry, but I know myself, and realize I won't have the guts to turn anybody down if they suggest a fic that isn't of the quality I want for my C2. To enforce this rule, I am saying now that I will simply ignore any such requests. This does NOT mean I think you are all sucky writers, it's just that I'm not aiming for quantity, I'm aiming for quality. I want people to always find something really good when they check in. So just think of it as another reason you should join my staff: then you can help make sure that otherpeople's stories take their rightful place, and if your fic really should be in ...1..., someone will find it. The more people on the look-out for good one-shots, the more likely it is your fic will be found, and take it's rightful place, thus completing the wonderful circle of life.

Alright. Now that I'm done being ranty, let's move on.

As a writer, I think it's always important to have some Favorite books: (in no particular order)

Elvenbane (Andre Norton and Mercedes Lackey)
Ender's Game (Orson Scott Card)
A Prayer for Owen Meany (John Irving)
Pride and Prejudice (Jane Austen)
To Kill a Mockingbird (Harper Lee)
The Woman Warrior: Memoirs Of A Girlhood Among Ghosts (Maxine Hong Kingston)
The Coldfire Trilogy
In Conquest Born (C. S. Friedman)
EVERYTHING EVER WRITTEN BY LOIS MCMASTER BUJOLD. Seriously, go read her stuff. It's REALLY good.

Um, yeah, I also really like Shakespeare. To an unnatural degree. I'll spare you the gruesome details.

There's more, but I'll stick to these.
