Hello, fellow aspiring authors! Peace! My name is Karasu, and I am...a total newbie. I only have one story with two chapters, and I'm pretty green as far as online writing goes...but I hope you'll give my story, Break, a try!

Alright, reading and writing are definitely two of my greatest passions. Lately I've especially been addicted to manga, though I'm a fairly new anime-fanatic. A few of my favorites are Fruits Basket, D. Gray-Man, Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle, Fullmetal Alchemist, Bleach, Naruto, Lovely Complex, and Ouran High School Host Club. Other books I like include The Oaken Throne by Robin Jarvis, the Pendragon series by D.J. MacHale, and, of course, Twilight by Stephenie Meyer.

Along with that, I love to sing and act. I actually grew up in a family of musical actors, and have a pretty good voice, I must say. Some of my favorite musicals are Wicked, Little Shop Of Horrors, and Big River. I really, really, really am a music addict, and I love pretty much every genre. I'll narrow down my favorites to five: One Last Breath by Creed, Thousand Miles by Vanessa Carlton, Carry You Home by James Blunt, Beautiful Disaster by Kelly Clarkson, and Somewhere In Between by Lifehouse (and Vienna by The Fray).

Oh my goodness! I totally forgot--my top three of manga (the first three listed) is actually a top four! The fourth being Chrono Crusade. If you have not read this manga, you are a sinner. Period. Even though it was only eight volumes, it had to be one of the best, most exciting, most touching, most adorable, most heart-wrenching manga I've ever read. Don't watch the anime, but read the manga!!

Oh man! Favorite pairings are:

Kyo and Tohru, Chrono and Rosette, Syaoran and Sakura, Otani and Koizumi, Haruhi and Tamaki, Haruhi and Hikaru, Haruhi and Kaoru...pretty much anyone with Haruhi.

I know that a lot of these pairings contradict with my fics, but I like to write romantic fics about pairings I know will never happen (Like Fai and Sakura, or Tohru and Momiji, stuff like that.)
