Author has written 20 stories for Ninja Turtles. Hmm... I think the new year calls for a new profile. Well, my "real life" name is Ashley (unfortunately), but please call me Ash. I'm twenty-one years old and still suffering from a life-long addiction to writing and Ninja Turtles. It wasn't until the summer of 2008 that I realized I could pair the two together. Thus began my lethal attraction to fanfiction. Ironically, I'm the second-youngest of four kids, living in a city in New York. (That's a city, not New York City. I'm actually from Rochester, closer to the Canadian boarder.) Outwardly, I wouldn't call myself a "nerd" or a "geek", though I know that's mostly 'cause I'm in denial. I've been labeled as "fiery" and "eccentric" by others, which I take as a compliment, and "emo", which I do not. But personally, I try to avoid labels. I believe it's desperately important to suck the marrow out of life and savor every molecule. Every day is another step in the eternal pursuit of wisdom. Every experience is another opportunity for self-exploration and improvement. And in the time that I am given, I've found it my mission to be no one other than myself. By now, I've dyed my hair every color of the rainbow, and have more tattoos and piercings than you can shake a stick at. I'm young and restless and still trying to cope with my new-found adulthood freedom. But one day, I'll figure it out. Writing is both my release and my remedy. In my rebellious teen years, I fell in with the wrong crowd and found myself on a path I knew wasn't the healthiest to travel. And still, that rebellious little hell raiser is a big part of me. But writing (fanfiction especially) tends to keep me out of trouble. But mostly, my primary motive for my fiction is improving my writing skill. Someday I dream to have my own published novel, but I know I can't be happy with my work until I grow a little more as a writer. Any feedback is well-appreciated, especially if it contains constructive criticism. Flames are also graciously accepted. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and anything you can offer would be awesome. SHAMELESS ADVERTISEMENT: This year I'm hosting the 10th Annual TMNT Fanfiction Competition.
