Stuff about me: Firstly, I am a chick. Also, I'm in college. I'm into drawing as well as writing, and my work tends to be a mixture of realism and manga, though realism has been dominating my style with increasing insistency of late. Okay, why is it that my hobbies all seem to be the sort of thing I can get away with doing in class? Because, let me tell you, not helpful to my grades. Head desk. Anyway, I'm also vehemently both conservative and Christian (LDS, specifically). But hey, my best friend, who I completely adore, is just as vehemently neither, and on top of that goes to the rival university of mine (which tends to be a big deal in these parts). And, that's pretty much it for now.

For the aforementioned artwork, feel free to look at my DeviantArt page (shouldn't be too hard to find, as I have the same username there). There's a lot of Buffy/Angel fan art in there, and more recently a lot of Harry Potter art.

If you're looking for something with a sex scene of any kind, you are very much in the wrong place. I put in all the fight scenes you could possibly want, but I do not write that. My stuff will never surpass PG-13 levels on that subject. It may not even be more than PG. I'm not exactly sure where the distinction lies in this medium, but the bottom line is that I am mentally incapable of stringing words together to form smut (even the more heated kissing scenes are agonizing for me and take hours to write), so it's just not going to happen.

My Buffy the Vampire Slayer "Season 8": I know writing a new season wasn't exclusively my idea, but if I'd just let this story sit in my head, my brain would have exploded. First and foremost, my goal with this story was to capture the spirit of the series. And to add a companion Buffy season to run alongside Angel season five, which seemed sad and lonely. I tried to keep changes to canon to the barest possible minimum, so of Angel S5, you need only disregard mentions of the Scoobies being in Europe or wherever, and the Buffy/The Immortal subplot of supreme stupidness in "The Girl in Question" (those bits struck me as very out of character anyway, so I have no qualms about overwriting them). Also, expect some definite crossovers throughout this thing. We all know that a season of Buffy means pain, death, love, angst, humor, friendship, and lots of demon butts getting kicked. Some of the major character arcs I tackled include Buffy becoming "cookies", Xander working through his grief for Anya and moving on, Willow using her post-mass Slayer spell magic to help the Slayers in new ways and figuring out who she really wants to be with, Oz mastering his wolf and using it to fight demons alongside the Slayers, Dawn coming into her own as a character and joining the ranks of the show's other heroes, and Giles getting used to being Watcher over several dozen Slayers at once and restarting the Council from scratch.

My Buffy the Vampire Slayer "Season 9": It is now my current project! Main characters: Buffy, Angel, Xander, Willow, Dawn, Oz, and Giles. Recurring characters: Renée, Connor, Gunn, Anne, Illyria, Faith, Wood, Alex, Cole, Lorin, Sam, various newbie Slayers and Watchers-in-training, Spike, and Drusilla. This is picking up exactly where "Season 8" left off, and that means Buffy/Angel, Willow/Oz, Xander/Renée, Dawn/Connor, Faith/Wood, and, yes, Spike/Drusilla (and don't spaz, Lorin/Sam and Alex/Cole will be in there as well, since apparently I wrote them well enough that people like them--which is just awesome, considering that they're OCs). Also, I'm pretty much fusing Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel together into one "show" for this, so to follow everything, it would help, in addition to having read "Season 8", to have watched Angel.

If you ask me for a "Season 10", I will hunt you down and axe murder you, and that would just be tragic, so, in the words of Drogyn, don't ask, because I'm NOT writing it. I think forty-four fake episodes that will likely total 300,000 words should really be enough for everybody. If you are good readers, I may write various futurefics which follow the events of my two fake seasons for you, but nine will be the last in season form. And now that we're post-episode seventeen, I think you might be able to understand why. There's simply no way this Big Bad can be topped.

Update, as of Saturday, January 14, 2012: Updated.

Favorite male characters: Angel, Sir Guy of Gisborne, Rory Williams, Castiel, John Thornton, Mr. Darcy, Roy Mustang. Huh. I suppose those all double as my biggest character crushes. And that isn't necessarily how I'd rank them all the time.

Favorite female characters: Elizabeth Bennet, Luna Lovegood, Éowyn, the TARDIS (what?), Riza Hawkeye, Toph, Fluttershy. The first two are my role models.

Ships! Okay, now I'll introduce you to my fleet. Most are canonical, but some are wishful thinking, and others are a bit of both. You will notice a complete absence of slash, whether canonical or otherwise, because that just doesn't appeal to me. I am very loyal to these pairings, and downright militant for some of them (usually they'll be among the first to be listed in each fandom). Since there are so many of them, I have divided them into flotillas according to the fandoms they're from.

Buffyverse: Buffy/Angel, Willow/Oz, Fred/Wesley, Cordelia/Doyle, Faith/Wood, Spike/Drusilla, Connor/Dawn, Xander/Anya (unless it's post "Chosen", in which case, Xander/Renée), Gunn/Anne, Graham/Vi (random, I know, but I like them both and they are under-appreciated), Riley/Sam, Giles/Jenny (Giles/Joyce is also acceptable, but I'm not terribly outraged with canon for how that didn't develop). I don't mind reading Faith/Spike and Xander/Dawn, but I don't think I'll ever write them. Also, if I were ever to become insane enough to try crossing Dollhouse with the Buffyverse, there would definitely be some Giles/Adelle, though it's entirely possible that having so much dry wit in one relationship would make the universe explode.

Potterverse: Harry/Ginny, Ron/Hermione, Luna/Rolf, Lupin/Tonks, James/Lily, Bill/Fleur, Arthur/Molly, George/Angelina, Neville/Hannah, Draco/Astoria...yeah, I'm pretty much sold on the canonical ships of this fandom. As for the kids: Teddy/Victoire, Rose/Scorpius, and Albus/Alice (the daughter I made up for Neville and Hannah, since JKR has thus far been silent about their kids). And I'd put Albus and Scorpius together in Slytherin, so that Albus won't have to go through Hogwarts in James's shadow and Scorpius can have a good support system in his angsty quest to throw off the stigma of being a Malfoy, as well as giving him an excuse to spend more time with Rose because his best friend happens to be her cousin.

Doctor Who: Okay, seriously, the only pairing I really care about is Amy/Rory. Yay for Rose/duplicate Ten and Rose's parents and Martha/Mickey and Donna/that bloke she married, but I never really cared about any of them. The Doctor/River Song is very intriguing, but I love Amy/Rory to pieces. He guarded her for two thousand years. She chose him over the Doctor. His dream is having a family with her. She can't stand to live in a world that doesn't have him. They actually *got married* and are even more awesome for it. I don't know what I'm going to do when they leave the show and we end up with new companions. Also, they'd better at least be alive and together at the end of S7, or I'm going to write Moffat one very angry letter and then sob hysterically in a corner.

Robin Hood: Guy/Meg (she was so perfect for him), Will/Djaq (so much awesome), Much/Eve (aargh, so much cute!). I honestly don't care about Robin/Marian. Marian strung Guy along a bit too much for me to root for her with Robin. Guy was starting to be a better man because of her, but she kept lying to him and pretending she cared about him more than she did so that he'd give her information or help her. His feelings for her were real, and I kind of don't like her because of the way she took advantage of them. Of course, he was hardly a saint himself. No woman deserves a man as ruthless and cruel as he was a lot of the time, but he was sort of okay in S2 and pretty much awesome in S3. Also, we know he started out okay thanks to his backstory in "Bad Blood". I think he and Marian could have had a good relationship if he'd done a better job of wooing her before Robin got back, because then she'd have been influencing him to do good long before she did in canon, and he probably wouldn't have done most of the awful things he did in S1 and early S2.

Supernatural: As of her survival of the season six premiere, Dean/Lisa! And as far as I'm concerned, Lisa lied when she said Ben wasn't his. Or she just doesn't know who Ben's dad is, so why can't he be Dean? Apart from them, though, and despite how much I love this show, I have a distinct lack of the usual shipping fervor. However, I am definitely a fan of John/Mary (young John was one seriously gorgeous man), Sam/Jess was okay (though I'd be more intrigued by how the story--and, more importantly, Sam--would have changed if she survived than I would be by the actual relationship), and Sam/Sarah would still be awesome if it cropped back up. Now, Castiel is easily my favorite character of the show, but I have no ships for him. It just doesn't work in my brain, because a) he's an angel and therefore kind of genderless according to the rules of the Supernatural universe and b) the body he's using is that of a married guy, so it would just be weird, not to mention extremely disrespectful to Jimmy, who sacrificed pretty much everything to be Castiel's vessel, and he did it so that Castiel could use him to do good, not screw around. Also, as of "My Heart Will Go On", Bobby/Ellen. Even though they're pre-doomed and were only together in an alternate present, they're clearly perfect for each other.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Edward/Winry (WIN+2! *squee*), Roy/Riza, Al/May (heavily implied win?), Hohenheim/Trisha, Hughes/Gracia, Sig/Izumi, Lin/Lan Fan, Brosh/Ross.

Lord of the Rings: Faramir/Éowyn, Aragorn/Arwen, Sam/Rosie, Celeborn/Galadriel.

Firefly: Simon/Kaylee, Zoe/Wash, Mal/Inara.

Bones: Booth/Brennan (surprise long-awaited WIN!), Angela/Hodgins (WIN+1!). Also, Cam/gynecologist dude (even though they're kind of annoying together, at least they're happy). I used to ship Sweets/Daisy, but all this rubbish about them being engaged and then not engaged and then Sweets thinking he's too young to get married and too immature for it if he isn't willing to blow a ton of money on a bigger engagement ring is all just ridiculous and irritating, so I don't care anymore.

Inception: Arthur/Ariadne, Cobb/Mal.

Pushing Daisies: Ned/Chuck. Saran wrap kisses! Hee! Also, Olive/Randy, Emerson/Simone, and the Aunts with Olive's non-kidnappers.

Pride and Prejudice: Darcy/Elizabeth, Bingley/Jane. Of course, these conclusions are nearly two centuries foregone, but who cares? I also don't mind Mary/Mr. Collins, Colonel Fitzwilliam/Charlotte, and Colonel Fitzwilliam/Kitty when they crop up in fanfiction. Colonel Fitzwilliam/Anne and Colonel Fitzwilliam/Georgiana make no sense to me. I know it was fine for first cousins to get hitched back in the Regency era, but why would anyone from the 21st century *want* to write that? EW.

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Zuko/Mai (at first I was perplexed by this, but then their insanely awesome/hilarious dialogue and Mai siding with Zuko and the Gaang in spite of Azula sold them for me), Aang/Katara (it would help if he hit his growth spurt and got taller than her, but I still ship them), Sokka/Toph (meh, well, you win some, you lose some, but she definitely had a crush on him, and it was cute).

Dollhouse: Anthony/Priya (YESSSS! Dance of Joy, hugs little Tony), Echo/Alpha (I was always rooting for that, but now it would actually be a good thing instead of the psychopath getting the girl; he has pretty much redeemed himself and earned it now, and I'm having a hard time with the idea of a relationship going on in a single brain, no matter how special Echo is; it's only Ballard's mind in there, not his soul--unless that decided to come along for the ride and is now possessing her or something--and definitely not his body), Topher/Bennett (sniff), Adelle/Dominic.

Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog: Billy/Penny. Duh.

Merlin: Arthur/Gwen (WIN!), Merlin/Morgana (as far as I'm concerned, Merlin not confiding in Morgana when she started freaking out about having magic was the most idiotic, contrived, and out-of-character move ever, even if the story dictates that she must become Merlin and Arthur's nemesis somehow, so in my fantasy world, he trusted her, and they lived happily ever after secretly saving Camelot together with their magic). However, if I must accept Morgana's story line as it is, then Merlin/Freya. Humph.

The Office: Jim/Pam (WIN+2!), Michael/Holly (YESSS!).

Star Trek: Spock/Uhura.

The Secret Garden: Mary/Dickon. I don't care about the class difference, they're adorable together. Mary/Colin would just be gross. Not only are they first cousins, but their mothers were IDENTICAL TWINS. Which genetically makes them as good as half-siblings. And I daresay that even people who were cool with marrying their first cousins would have considered a marriage between half-siblings to be incestuous, so I feel even more justified in saying EW about that pairing than I am about Colonel Fitzwilliam/Anne or Colonel Fitzwilliam/Georgiana. EW EW EW EW EW.

Star Wars: Han/Leia. No, I do not ship Anakin/Padme. I tolerate it because that's how we got Luke and Leia, but the way the prequels gave it to us, I thought Padme would have been much better off with Obi-Wan. He's responsible, caring, and understanding, just like her. Curse that idiotic Jedi code of celibacy (I mean, seriously, what were they thinking?). And I know virtually nothing of what goes on beyond the six films, so yay, I guess, for Luke and that redheaded chick in the books.

Naruto: Naruto/Hinata, Neji/Tenten, Shikamaru/Temari, Iruka/Anko, Chouji/Ino, Asuma/Kurenai, Minato/Kushina, and there need to be more chicks in that story so Gaara can get a girl! Wait. On second thought, I'll have him. Also, Sakura should probably go with Lee or Kiba instead of Sasuke, who is now a (seemingly) irredeemable psychopath.

The Abhorsen Trilogy: Sabriel/Touchstone. So much love. And now that I've finally finished the second and third books, I think I'm gonna go with Lirael/Nicholas, too.
