I'm Shari, in Los Angeles, age 21.

I used to write a lot, I wrote for years - I know it doesn't look that way... It's just that my old 'fics are too embarassingly bad to post, and my other newer ones are just not finished, and probably won't ever be heh.. I'm not very good at following through with my stories.

I have so many ideas written out for stories, I just don't seem to have the patience to write them. For now, I'm just an annoying reviewer.

I'm on dA! .. roseonyxis.deviantart.com .. Check out my art =)

My favorite pairings:

Final Fantasy VII (CloTi)

Bleach (IchiHime)

Cowboy BeBop (SpikeXFaye)

Samurai Champloo (Fuugen, though I don't mind JinXFuu)

Sailor Moon (Usagi X Mamoru)

FFVII THOUGHTS:

I'm a huge CloTi fan.

I feel like there's no point to a Cloud X Aerith relationship, because, for one, she's dead.

From my point of view, Cloud is clearly meant to be with Tifa, and I think there's adequate evidence of that throughout the game and definitely in the novella Case of Tifa. Yeah, Cloud's upset over Aerith's death in AC but he's upset about Zack too, he's beating himself up because he thinks it's his fault they died, he feels responsible and guilty - not heartbroken because he's desperately in love with her. They didn't have time enough to fall in love; he showed no interest in her in the game until she died which to me, says guilt. I'm not saying he wasn't attracted to her at all, he clearly thought she was at least cute as evidence of him accepting a date as payment from her in the game, but I honestly do not feel that he fell in love with her or her with him for that matter. Also, Cloud leaving in Case of Tifa and AC didn't happen until Geostigma came into the picture - it was another thing to weigh on him about not being able to protect those he cares about and he says that in the movie.

Aerith seems a little too fickle and flirty to be in love with Cloud. Especially after Crisis Core, she and Zack seemed like they were really falling for each other and most of Zack's last dying thoughts are for her, but she turns around in FFVII and says he's nothing to her and rejects him in the lifestream in On The Way To A Smile, then decides she wants to pursue Cloud even though it seems like Tifa has a thing for him and they're supposed to be friends. So I don't like her, personally.

Now, of course, you are entitled to come to different conclusions and that's fine, we can agree to disagree, but do NOT argue with me about it like it's fact. Because it is not. The makers of the game have purposefully not said anything about either relationship because they are leaving it up to us to decide who we like, neither are canon.

Another couple I'm not okay with is Yuffentine. WHERE did this couple come from?? Where was there any inkling of a relationship between these two random characters? It doesn't upset me, but I'm thoroughly confused - they don't mesh well at al, and Vincent just doesn't seem very interested. I have nothing against Yuffie though. Her outfit is cool and I like her bickering with Cid.

I don't mind Tifa coupled with a number of people in fanfiction.. Vincent, Zack, Reno, Sephiroth.. but Cid, Barret or Reeve is just creepy. I don't like Cloud with anyone but Tifa.

BLEACH THOUGHTS:

I think Ichigo should be with Orihime. And if he's not with Orihime, fine I can deal with it, but I just don't want him with Rukia. Anyone but Rukia.

Orihime has loved him from the beginning and it's just cruel to want Ichigo to not be with her. They'd be so cute together. Ichigo and Rukia feel more like siblings to me.

I am SO SICK of trying to find good IchiHime fics - 90 percent of them are in the angst category! It's either a 'one-sided IchiHime with IchiRuki', 'Orihime cries over the fact she'll never be with Ichigo', or character death because 'Orihime can't and won't live without Ichigo'. And if they actually are real IchiHime, it doesn't matter 'cause most of them are completely OOC and really badly written -AARGH!-

So I try to look for alternative Orihime pairing fics, but I can't get away from the damned IchiRuki - Orihime always ends up being with these other characters because Ichigo's with Rukia --screams in frustration!--

I also like GrimmHime better than UlquiHime... Sigh, I can't catch a break here.

ON WITH THE SHOW!
