Author has written 8 stories for Teen Titans.

Okay, so. Hi. I'm Krystal (as you already know). I have a tendency to ramble, so you may find this profile to be TL/DR. Sorry about that. Anyway, moving on.

I'm somewhere in the age range of 15-30, not telling you where exactly, guess if you must. (And you know I'm just doing that to bother you) I'm petite and fairly plain, but I like that because I can blend in with the crowd, which makes it easy for me to people-watch. I don't have a MySpace, Facebook, Twitter or any other site like that, and if you think you've found me there, you're wrong. You may notice I've changed my pen name. I thought it was time I changed it from one I came up with when I was thirteen, you know?

I'm a big fan of Teen Titans, and that is the show for which I write fiction. I read a fairly wide range of fandoms, though. Generally you can find me prowling the archives for Teen Titans, Mai-HiME, Doctor Who, Avatar and Kingdom Hearts, but sometimes I venture outside those. I mostly just stick to those because I've found a higher concentration of good writers in those particular fandoms. (Plus I like the shows/game, which doesn't hurt)

I ship primarily BB/Rae (Teen Titans), Akira/Takumi (Mai-HiME) and Kataang (Avatar)... I can never make up my mind for Kingdom Hearts. I pretty much read every het pairing there is in the fandom (aside from the outrageously crack pairings).

Alright, let's see. There's really not much else to say... all that's left is really just miscellanea. Well, I guess I'll throw that in, too.

I absolutely love it when I find a well written, thought-provoking story, but I also love fluffy, humorous ones.
I love my reviewers. On that same note, I accept anonymous reviews, but I would prefer it if you'd sign up/ sign in before reviewing. (As added incentive: If you leave a signed review, you are guaranteed a thank you.) I am not kidding in the least when I say that I squeal with joy if someone favorites one of my stories. Especially if someone adds me to their favorite authors--you people are too sweet!
If I dislike a story, I prefer to say nothing, rather than comment on how much I didn't like it.

"The thing is, time travel is like visiting Paris: You can't just read the guidebook. You've got to throw yourself in. Eat the food, use the wrong verbs, get charged double and end up kissing complete strangers. ...Or is that just me?" ~The Ninth Doctor, Doctor Who

Slash pairings: Over. My. Dead. Body. And even when I'm dead I'll still feel this way.

Spelling
Ladies, gentlemen, androids and variations thereupon, I beg of you: Learn to spell! Get a vocabulary! Please?
All words listed below are Teen Titans specific ones I have seen misspelled in stories.

1. Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos. Not Azerath. Not Metreon. Not Xinthos, Zynthos, Zinthose or Zenthos.
2. Komand'r. Also known as Blackfire, evil older sister of Starfire (Koriand'r).
3. Tamaran. Not Tameran or Tamaram.
4. Tamaranean. Not 'Tamaranian'.
5. Rae. Not Rea.

Other Pairings
Teen Titans
Robin / Starfire - Yes, I support them together (doesn't everyone?) but they've been written so many ways already. I don't generally read a lot of Rob/Star fiction.
Cyborg / Bumblebee - I think there is something here that can be used. Maybe. But only if you do it right.
Cyborg / Jinx - Has potential, if you're writing in the right time frame of the series I suppose. Personally I think pairing Cyborg with people is difficult. Too many variables!
Kid Flash / Jinx - I really do like this one. It really isn't touched on a whole lot in the series, so there's lots of room for imagination.
Beast Boy / Terra - It was good while it lasted. I liked this one a lot, and I really felt bad for Beast Boy in the final episode. Yes, I am a BB/Rae shipper who actually likes Terra!! WOW!
Robin / Raven - No. Just no. This is wrong on too many levels! Oh my goodness. I could go on and on. I prefer to see them as more of brother and sister. Even maybe a twin thing, since they have that mental connection sort of thing going on.

Different - Madame Band Geek - BB/Rae - Has not been updated for a while, but it sounds like it will be soon! This story is just amazing.

Enough - Jack Mirembe - BB/Rae - This is an amazing story. It took me over an hour to formulate a coherent review.

In The Name of the Law - RabulaTasa - Physics oneshots for the win! Amazing and hilarious.

Backlash - WeLcOmE2pArAdIsE - Terra-centric

Doctor Who

Breathe Me - MadeElly - Nine/Rose, somewhat Ten/Rose - Beautiful oneshot/ficlet with excellent character understanding.
