Hello, fellow fanfic reader/writers --

To tell you just a little bit about myself... I am what you'd call an inexperienced writer. That doesn't mean I don't consider myself a good writer, it just means I haven't written much. Don't let that get you hesitant from reading my stories. (Not to be ignorant, but I guess you could call any talent I may have with writing natural.) Writing is something I do to calm my nerves, smile to myself at how magical words can sound together, and visual anything I want in my head with my most favorite characters. I usually ship canon/doomed pairs. It makes writing more fun that way. It's a better way to fuel the creative juices. :) And just so you know, I am fairly young. I'm young enough yet to still enjoy the dramas of adolescence; to have to be a babysitter as well as babysat; and I'm also young enough to go through that age where sex jokes are quite possibly the funniest thing in the entire world to pubescent boys.

I'm not going to go right ahead and tell you my age; that's how young I am. (Use your imagination to think about that.)

I. Love. Writing. So. Fucking. Much. Nothing could give me more pleasure than writing. (Well... alright, I guess I'll have to think twice about that statement once I've grown older.)

Recently, I have involved myself more in fanfics than I ever have before. It's as though something just clicked in my mind one day to prompt me into writing what you can now see as Falling Away With You (my newest fic, Jacob/Bella). Yes, I have until just recently been slacking. But only because I know I can get away with it without upsetting such a large amount of people. ;) I'll change that soon, I think. I'll write more stories. I'll make more fans. :)

Anyway... my most current obsession is Twilight (ugh, I know, haha) -- more specifically Jacob and Bella. Oh God, I love that pair so much. And it'll show in my future stories. :)

Shippings/pairings I absolutely adore are:

Jacob and Bella -- Twilight: Once I can comprehend the epicness of this ship, I'll explain in depth to you why I like it so much.

Bella and Embry -- Twilight: Oh, God; please don't even ask. I have nothing to say.

Zuko and Toph -- Avatar: The Last Airbender: One of those "what-the-fuck!-where-did-you-think-of-that?" type of ships. Not much else to say.

Aang and Katara -- Avatar: The Last Airbender: I've forgotten why I like this ship so much. I guess I've always just taken it for granted.

Under impossible circumstances, Bella and Embry are definitely there at the top of my list. I don't know why I like them. (I don't have to have a reason, do I?) I'm tempted to use them as minor couples in future fics. Just to calm you down, though, Jacob and Bella always dominate -- always. (In other words, I'll never end a fic with Bella/Embry as the dominating couple. You can breathe easy now.)

Updates on fanfics (only working on one right now):

Falling Away With You (chapter 7 now up!): A new Jacob&Bella story that revolves mostly around angst, angst, and more angst. :) cough. ANGST ANGST ANGST ANGST ANGST. What do you guys not understand about that? Obviously, most of you don't like angsty stories. So... don't read mine if you are going to become very upset and flame my inbox. This is an ANGST story, probably one of the most extreme there is, so if you are looking for a happy fluff-piece, you're looking in the wrong place. I'm best at writing angst, not fluff, and this is an ANGST story. Sorry. Don't give me crap about it just because it doesn't appeal to you.

SUMMARY (plot spoilers; may change over time): Bella's entire world is basically headed for hell once she realizes that Jacob has imprinted on another girl during this dark, alternate-universe-type setting about halfway through New Moon. As painful as it is for both of them, they realize they could never be together if things were the way they were. Things couldn't get any worse until Bella realizes that maybe falling in love with other people (that aren't Jacob) is easier once she allows herself to. Meanwhile, Jacob is wallowing away in angst and horror at what he's done to hurt Bella, but even worse -- he's trying to go through a difficult process that may involve breaking some relationships of his own in a very painful manner. (But breaking an imprint? How is that possible?) Edward has miraculously moved to the back of Bella's mind for the majority of her days around people she loves and cares about but never got a chance to be with that much, but what if Edward did come back and "check up" on how Bella's doing? Would she allow the misery to find her again at memory of his original departure, or will she try once again to find her safe harbor in Jacob, who maybe hasn't yet given up on her?

The idea of this story is probably something most of you have never thought about and I'm very excited to see how this will turn out. Things change as I write and new ideas pop in my head. That means there's lots of twists, turns, and surprises, no doubt. This story is going to be long -- and by that, I mean looong. Seriously. But don't give up on it, please. :)

(That's all my updates for now. Check back soon.)

Much love,

Galaxi
