Author has written 1 story for Vampire Knight.

Hello! My hobbies are reading, watching anime, reading manga, curling, playing video games, and I love camping, biking, and rollerblading. I have two older brothers, an older sister, and a younger sister, and I have two animals; My cat, who is the softest animal I've ever met, and my energetic cocker spaniel, whom I love antagonizing. I try not to be prejudiced, and am open-minded (or at least I think I am :p).

Some other names I'm known by: Presto, Maestro1995, Maestro, TheBridgeBurner1995 (and formerly Pheonix Kamisama). I recently made a FictionPress (http://www.fictionpress.com/u/691263/) account, though I haven't posted anything yet.

And yes, I'm Canadian.


Notice to Night Class, Day Class readers: While I won't hesitate to update if I get a chapter done from a burst of inspiration, I'm not concentrating on it very much any more. Right now I'm typing a VK/Kenshin crossover and will start posting that once I get a few more chapters done. This story is going to be pretty AU, and Ryuuji makes a second appearance (I added a second 'u' to his name, which I will eventually fix for Class).


My favorite genre is fantasy, and my favorite authors are Glen Cook and Steven Erikson. Series I enjoy immensly not by those authors are The Belgariad and Mallorean by David Eddings, The Dragonlords by Joanne Bertin, and The Shadowleague by Maggie Furey.

I'm going to state this right now: I enjoyed the Twilight series, but have no idea why people make such a big fuss over it. And I didn't like the ending at all. What kind of character gets everything their way after worrying and freaking out so much? And all those preparations at the end just went to waste... It really turned into fan service at the end...


I don't have a favorite anime or manga, but some of my recent obsessions are (or recent comebacks, lol); Vampire Knight, Hellsing, Shugo Chara!, Berserk, Nodame Cantabile, Cross Game, Tokyo Crazy Paradise, Samurai X, and Skip Beat.

My favorite pairings (The ones I can remember):

Yume
Amuto
KeixMizuho
AlucardxSeras
RenxKyoko
GattsxKjaskar
KenshinxTomoe
ChrnoxRosetta


My favorite band is Kamelot, and my favorite albums are Epica, The Black Halo, Karma, and The Fourth Legacy (basically the Khan stuff, I haven't heard Ghost Opera yet). I also enjoy anime songs, J-Pop, classical, techno/dance, very few (american) movie songs (pretty much all oldies like Grease and Labrynth, too ;p), and game songs. Especially game songs (I have the entire OST for FFVII, Ocarina of Time, one of the Persona albums, and songs from other various games on my iPod. I have quite a few Shadow of the Collosus as well).

are like

boys dont want to reach
for the good ones because they
are afraid of falling and getting hurt.
Instead, they just get the rotten apples
from the ground that aren't as good,
but easy. So the apples at the top think
something is wrong with them, when in
reality, they're amazing. They just
have to wait for the right boy to
come along, the one who's
brave enough to
climb all
the way
to the top
of the tree

Why America has some issues (These are all clever.)

Only in America...

1. ...Can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance.

2. ...Are there handicap parking places in front of a skating rink. (Actually, I have a handicapped friend who uses a special sled and half hockey sticks - or something like that - at the skating rink)

3. ...Do drugstores make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.

4. ...Do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a diet coke.

5. ...Do banks leave both doors open and then chain the pens to the counters.

6. ...Do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage.

7. ...Do we use answering machines to screen calls and then have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want to talk to in the first place.

8. ...Do we buy hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight.

9. ...Do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poli' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.

10. ...Do they have drive-up ATM's with Braille lettering. (Seriously? Wow...)

You know you’re obsessed with Vampire Knight when….

1. You tick the days off your calendar until the next chapter release. True

2. Your favourite colour is now crimson. MUAHAHA!!

3. You know the exact day Lala Magazine is supposed to be released (24th!) True

4. You would be horrified to know how many times you have read the VK manga chapters. Definitely

5. Whenever you see someone get slapped you automatically think of Aidou getting slapped by Kaname. True

6. Whenever you have a lot of free time, it’s usually spend doing something VK related. 'looks around and whispers yeah'

7. You are convinced that Vampires must exist. Yeah, how else do I explain my strange behaviour?

8. You wish you’d thought of Vampire Knight before Matsuri Hino. OF COURSE!! But I'd still get her to draw the art...

9. All of the names, like “Akatsuki, Aidou, and Ichijou” have been added to your Microsoft dictionary. Yes!

10. You have dreamt about Vampire Knight, and in anime format. Hmm, I wonder... (Kaname-oniisama, don't run away!) (Hahaha, manga as well...)

11. You would love nothing better than to have Zero and Kaname fight over you. TRUE!! Though I'd end up rooting for Kaname...

12. Snow is now your favourite weather condition, despite the fact you used to think it was annoying. I hate snow. It's cold and makes me think of blood. lol

13. You edit the Vampire Knight Wikipedia pages, because you can. I see mistakes, but I'm too busy re-reading VK.

14. Almost every day you wish you were a vampire. Only I know... 'looks behind herself at parents watching tv' heehee...

15. Your VK manga books are one of your most prized possessions. 'Looks at pretty glass and wood bookshelf. Stares at all of the volumes she owns on top shelf'

16. You decided if you ever saw Hino walking around, you’d kidnap her and make her tell you the ending of the manga, and which pairing wins. Never!! All the suspense would be gone! Though we should make them release it every two weeks...

17. You’ve plotted this kidnap down to the last handcuff. 'Laughs evily' Dereshi-shi-shi-shi!! (let's see if you can figure that one out! ;p)

18. When on holiday you went to an internet café just to read the new VK chapter. Don't have laptop, and I'm coming back from vacation this year before it comes out.

19. You write Vampire Knight Fanfiction. Duh.

20. You read Vampire Knight Fanfiction. 'Nods head vigorously'

21. Every time new manga chapter comes out you can’t help but scream a little bit. More than a little bit -_- 'wakes up family'

22. You were so annoyed when the Vampire Knight forum was down, because you had no one to rave about Vampire Knight with. WHAT IS THAT?!

23. Your screensaver is always related to Vampire Knight, usually M-chan’s fan arts. Shared computer... but the desktop DID have a smexy Yume pic for a while... Until mom got a new one 'sobs' (update: right now it's Persona 3 lol)

24. You wish your friends were into Vampire Knight. I'm slowly working on it... got one friend hooked with the first half of vol 1 'lol'

25. You go all the way to Covent Garden to buy your monthly supply of pocky and you’ve got all your friends into pocky too. Covent Garden? What's that? I do want Pocky, though... My siblings used to buy it after they saw Onegai Sensei :)

26. You’re reading this list and agreeing with me on most of the points. 'Nods'

27. You can’t speak Japanese yet you can sing the four opening and closing songs from both the VK anime series off by heart. Almost, but I'm getting pretty close!

28. After your best friend insulted VK when you forced her to watch the first anime episode, you were sorely tempted to punch her. She used to give me weird looks when I'd start raving, until I got her hooked...

29. You realised, no matter how hard you try to pretend you’re mature and above the day class girls, you know fully well you would run around the Night Class screaming wildly if you ever saw them. I SHALL CONTROL MYSELF!! 'sees Kaname' KANAME-SENPAI!! 'faints from happiness'

You know you’re obsessed with Kaname Kuran when…

42. You refuse to let your boyfriend cut his hair, because long dark hair is the way to go. Don't have one

43. You’ve strongly considered naming your son Kaname, despite it being an unusual Japanese name. 'looks away'

44. You have an image folder entirely dedicated to Kaname captioned “Kaname meltdroolpics”. 'blushes guiltily'

45. The idea of playing chess has suddenly become appealing. Only if I can manipulate peoples lives...

46. You spend most of your history lessons doodling pictures on your folder of Kaname and Yuuki in their wedding clothes. Your history teacher sees said pictures and laughs. If I could draw, then it would be me and him...

47. You cry every single time Kaname and Yuuki have their final scene in Vampire Knight Guilty. YES!!

48. You get really angry when people hate on Kaname. So what if he’s a bit possessive? S’cool. Took the words right out of my mouth! He's not half as bad as a certain Cullen 'grits teeth'

49. When it snows you half expect to see Kaname walking towards you. Absolutely

50. Your mother started asking you who ‘Kaname’ was. YES O.O

51. Your mother stopped asking you who Kaname was. Yes... (Though she can't seem to remember what "VK" is 'lol')

52. You made your mother read your Vampire Knight Fanfiction with hopes of converting her. I wish. She has bad eyes, and couldn't read the last manga I tried to get her to read.

53. You watched Vampire Knight Guilty episode 12 over and over, just because Daisuke Kishio narrates it. I watch all of them from the moment Yuuki awakens, just because Kaname really turns into the good guy, and no-one can say he doesn't love Yuuki (besides, I love vamp Yuuki).

54. You have decided Daisuke Kishio(Kaname) is the sexiest voice in existence. 'Grins' ISN'T IT OBVIOUS!!

55. You want to marry Daisuke Kishio, cos he’s as near to Kaname as you’ll get. Perhaps... 'looks to the side'

56. You associate the words “onii-sama” only with Kaname. ONLY HIM!!

57. You used to think finding anime characters hot was weird, until you met Kaname Kuran. I have to admit it.

58. The perv in you is dying to see Kaname half naked for once. 'Blushes' ohh...that would be heaven!

59. You refuse to acknowledge that Kaname is a fictional character. Y-yeah! So what!? Watcha goin' to do about it?!

:.:7 Ways to Scare your roommates:.:

7) Buy some knives. Sharpen them every night. While you're doing so, look at your roommate and mutter, "Soon, soon..."

6) Collect hundreds of pens and pile them on one side of the room. Keep one pencil on the other side of the room. Laugh at the pencil.

5) Tell your roommate, "I've got an important message for you." Then pretend to faint. When you recover, say you can't remember what the message was. Later on, say, "Oh, yeah, I remember!" Pretend to faint again. Keep this up for several weeks.

4) While your roommate is out, glue your shoes to the ceiling. When your roommate walks in, sit on the floor, hold your head, and moan.

3) Make a sandwich. Don't eat it, leave it on the floor. Ignore the sandwich. Wait until your roommate gets rid of it, and then say, "Hey, where the heck is my sandwich?" Complain loudly that you are hungry.

2) Every time your roommate walks in yell, "Hooray! You're back!" as loud as you can and dance around the room for five minutes. Afterwards, keep looking at your watch and saying, "Shouldn't you be going somewhere?"

1) Talk back to your Rice Krispies. All of a sudden, act offended, throw the bowl on the floor and kick it. Refuse to clean it up, explaining, "No, I want to watch them suffer."
