HI! Welcome one and all to Ye Olde FF.net account!

MESSAGE:

Do YOU think YOU'RE an expert on a certain Yu-Gi-Oh character? Think you can role-play him/her like a pro and keep him/her in character no matter what the situation? MOST importantly...

Do you love to play with your imagination and have fun with other people that do too?

Did you answer "Yes" to ALL of the above questions?

Then please audition for YGO cast members on Asiera's forum: YuGiOh: You've Got Questions, We've Got Answers (Forum is open to just talking, too, not just questions)

However, Asiera keeps Marik and Thief King Bakura. Other characters open to audition.

Some Information About Me: (As far as stories go!)

1st Favorite Fantasy/Saga: Harry Potter

I also really like some other random books and series, like the Maximum Ride Series, Twilight, etc...

Unfortunately, I don't get to read for fun too much now because of the reading I have to do for school and my own goofing off... so sadly, I'm not a total bibliophile... but don't get me wrong--I still like to read!

(Big eyes) The fantastic experience of delving into another world... is like none other on this earth...

Second place may be subject to change. I enjoy reading non-graphic books--I'm not into manga/comics. NO OFFENSE INTENDED TO MANGA-LOVERS!

Although I've skimmed a friend's Naruto comics, I do not generally read manga.

I do not like people bashing the anime dub of Yu-Gi-Oh. But, that's my opinion, so whether you agree or not, don't flame me for it!

Some Favorite Quotes:

NOTE: All Harry Potter quotes are, or are a part of, a line in the original novels by J.K. Rowling unless otherwise stated.

"It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live, remember that." -- Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

"It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities." -- Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

"... It matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be!" -- Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

"Have you any idea how much tyrants fear the people they oppress? All of them realize that, one day, amongst their many victims, there is sure to be one who rises against them and strikes back!" -- Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

(NOTE: I think the Thief King Bakura is a fairly good example of the above quote--the victim who struck back-- because he, well, struck back... although it was against the wrong people)

"You are protected, in short, by your ability to love!"... "The only protection that can possibly work against the lure of power like Voldemort's! In spite of all the temptation you have endured, all the suffering, you remain pure of heart, just as pure as you were at the age of eleven, when you stared into a mirror that reflected your heart's desire, and it showed you only the way to thwart Lord Voldemort, and not immortality or riches." -- Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

(NOTE: This next one IS a Quote, but it is not dialogue)

"It was, he thought, the difference between being dragged into the arena to face a battle to the death and walking into the arena with your head held high. Some people, perhaps, would say that there was little to choose between the two ways, but Dumbledore knew -- and so do I, thought Harry with a rush of fierce pride, and so did my parents -- that there was all the difference in the world."
-- Harry Potter, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

"Cowards die many times before their deaths..." -- Julius Caesar (William Shakespeare), The Tragedy of Julius Caesar

"The end of one adventure is just the beginning of another." -- Yugi Mutou, Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters (English dub)

"... Courage is not the absence of fear... but rather, the knowledge that something else is more important than fear." -- Edward Christophe Phillipe Gerald Renaldy (Mia's father), The Princess Diaries (The Movie)

"You try, you fail, you try, and you fail... but the only true failure is when you stop trying." -- Madame Leota, The Haunted Mansion

"That's okay, Neal--you were just denying your inner child." -- Charlie, The Santa Claus (This emphasizes the importance of not losing your inner child for me)

"Sometimes, to do what's right, we have to be steady and give up the thing we want the most--even our dreams." -- Peter Parker, Spiderman II

"The end of one adventure is the beginning of another."-- Yugi Mutou, Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters (English Dub)

"Dwelling in the past is like opening an old wound over and over again; It hurts like hell every time you do it, sometimes worse than when originally you got it." -- Yami Bakura/Thief King Bakura (Asiera- Fanfiction.net author); Yu-Gi-Oh, You've Got Questions, We've Got Answers (Forum)

"We've all blamed the wrong person, or done something we regret. But we can't let it get us down! It's just what makes us human." -- Millenniumthief (Fanfiction.net author)

Some Copy/Paste Things That Apply to Me:

If you are crazy, odd, not-normal, a freak of nature, or anything else that applies, copy and paste this to your profile.

I am not an anime/manga-obsessed person; I am just obsessed with Yu-Gi-Oh fanfiction AT THE MOMENT.

Take note: I LOVE THE YU-GI-OH DUEL MONSTERS AMERICAN ANIME!! (Growls protectively)

Favorite Yu-Gi-Oh Pairings (By Rank)

1. Pharaoh Atem(u) X Mana

2. Priest Mahad(o) X Priestess Isis

3. Yugi Mutou X Tea Gardener (Japanese Counterparts: Yuugi Mutou X Anzu Mazaki)

-Funniest Pairing: Rebecca Hawkins X Yugi Motou (Her behavior is HILARIOUS, and so are Tea's reactions!)

-MOST HATED Pairing: In the name of Amun-Ra, NO! Anzu/Tea Gardener X Yami Yugi/Pharaoh Atem(u). (Huzzah! I am not the only one who hates it!)

If you read my stories, please give an honest review, okay? Please? I'm trying to get more than 100 UNIQUE reviews for my stories. And if you're a vaseshipper looking for A/M fanfics, write some yourself too! We need more stories about these two characters!

By the way, here's a list of my favorite off-site Atem & Mana fanfics--check these out and pass it on!

NOTE: I did not write these Yu-Gi-Oh fan fictions!

-"Below the Surface" (LOVE IT! Type in "Gundam Wing- Below the Surface" on Google.)
-"Paper Wings" (Love it, Love it, LOVE IT! A MUST-READ! Go to the Vaseshipping website mentioned below)

Note: "Yu-Gi-Oh: Get Inside Their Heads" on my Favorites List is NOT actually an Atem X Mana story. Asiera simply made sure to keep everyone in character, and she decided that Vaseshipping is in character.

Nefermaatkare has created a beautiful Atem(u) X Mana website; I highly recommend visiting it.

Nefermaatkare's Vaseshipping Website Address: http://merejet.synthasite.com

There's a new community out there!

Rare, but True, a community dedicated to Atem(u) and Mana. Anyone interested in reading Atem(u)/Mana fics should pay a visit to the community; anyone interested in joining should PM the manager, Asiera.

I have a new fascination with the King of Thieves (Yami Bakura) and his Hikari, Bakura Ryou. Not as a couple (shakes head vehemently), mind you, but just their relationship in general. There's so much about them that I overlooked before (I also missed a lot of episodes during the season), but now I realize how amazing and fascinating they really are.

So I do recommend the Yami Bakura and Bakura Ryou stories on my list too. Well... that's why they're on the list, so... just go and read them.
