Hello Everybody!!

11.30.09 - I'm Back and an official winner of Nanowrimo 2009!! Yes, so that's where I've been for the last month... noveling my heart out. And now, I'm back with a BANG! First Twlight fic, Business As Usual, is published. Inspired by the New Moon movie, I'm a Blackwater shipper all the way.

Song of the Moment: Here's to the Night by Eve6

Currently Reading: Renegade by Richard Woolfe

Quote of the Moment: "This is like deja vu all over again." - Yogi Berra

So, Fandoms I may write for:

Harry Potter - My first, foremost, and favorite fandom

Jane Austen (esp. Pride and Prejudice) - Quickly overtaking Harry Potter in the first, foremost, and favorite fandom category. I write mostly Regency, but I'm working on a modern version right now, as well.

Wall-E, Twilight, 30 Rock, Shakespeare, etc. - Occasional diversions. Enough Said.

My best friends on this site, and friends in real life are Kitty XIII (aka Rukia) and Shinigami Angel 13 (I call her L, a bit ironic because that's one of her favorite manga characters).

Rukia - She's pretty cool, and a total writing fanatic like me. Her writing is totally enthralling, a little darker than I typically read, but still really crazy good. For all you Potter fans, it's part of sort of the other major universe of this site (Anime/Manga), but read it anyway. You might not know all the characters from their original contexts but they're some great pieces all the same.

L - Also pretty cool, though Rukia converted her from a Potter fan to a Manga fanatic. Even though she's gone over to the dark side, again, you Potter fans should broaden your horizons. Turning out to be a rediculously hilarious author, and also really good.

So what are you waiting for?

That's All For Now! ~Marivan
