A little about me (if you're interested)

I'm Christian, American, female, and kind of scatterbrained. I also have a habit of occasionally referring to myself in third person.

I love reading Sailor Moon fanfiction, but I'm also a frequent lurker in the Zelda, Pretear, and Princess Tutu sections. I love fantasy-ish epics (preferably with a happy ending), fluffy one-shots, and romance as long as it's somewhat realistic and not overly sappy. For the most part I prefer canon-based or AU over AR/"what if" stories. Even though I've read some reeeally bad ones, I'm still a sucker for neo senshi stories. =.=

Time out for a mini-rant: "Sailormoon" is not more correct that "Sailor Moon." "Tuxedo Kamen" is not more correct than "Tuxedo Mask." "Senshi" is not more correct than "soldiers." Japanese is not inherently cooler than English.

I am, to my eternal shame, a bit of a pairing snob at times. My "OTPs" are Usagi x Mamoru, Guardian Senshi x Shitennou (yesIknowit'snotcanon), Link x Zelda (yesIknowit'snotrealistic), and lately--largely thanks to Shadow Bound by Pleading Eyes--Shadow/Dark Link x Malon. I flat-out refuse to read anything that's LinkxOC, UsagixOC, or HayatexOC. Or any story in which Usagi is betrayed by her senshi and runs away to America, but that's another day's rant.

As for my writing, I write almost exclusively Sailor Moon fics. I stick to the Japanese names and base things almost exclusively on the manga version. (With one exception for Perle, because he's awesome, and anyway the SuperS movie doesn't fit into any particular version of the story.) My favorite character is probably Sailor Venus. I have a bad habit of making plots way too complex, and then losing track of them. x.x

I always appreciate reviews, especially constructive criticism. If something is wrong or can be improved in my writing, I want to know! It's the only way to get better. Those kind of comments are the best encouragement and motivation to keep writing! That said, I would never hold a story hostage or discontinue it because of lack of reviews. If I start a project, I want to finish it, regardless of how popular it isn't.

(Yeah, I know that was a little bit pretentious.) /steps off soapbox/
