I've always considered myself a writer of some sort or another, but I just don't have the attention span to write anything longer than a short story.

I have trouble uploading anything on this site for some reason, so I just saved the couple things I've written for fanfiction.net.

I've got a rather important suggestion for a FanFiction.net site accessory: How about making a Plan-To-Read list? You know, for stuff we intend to read later. After all, it's not like we can always read everything at the moment we find it.

My Favorite Animes are...
#1. Yu Yu Hakusho
#2. Bleach
#3. Gundam Seed
#4. Ghost Hunt
#5. Fruits Basket
#6. xxxHolic
#7. Kaze no Stigma
#8. Death Note (except for the end- that should be rewritten!)
I'd put in Avatar: The Last Airbender, but it's technically not an anime. Psuedo-anime is a more fitting label.

My Favorite Mangas are...
#1. Ceres: Celestial Legend
#2. Sailor Moon
#3. Fushugi Yugi: A Mysterious Play
#4. Black Bird
#5. Yu-Gi-Oh! Shadow Games
#6. Absolute Boyfriend
#7. Inuyasha
#8. Yu Yu Hakusho

Best Episodes:
#1. All Kurama episodes from Yu Yu Hakusho (But especially the ones of his fight with Toya and his battle of wits against Kaito)
#2. Darker Than Black episode 26 (OVA): Beneath The Fully Bloomed Cherry Blossoms
#3. Kaze no Stigma episode 8
#4. Gundam Seed episode 36: In The Name of Justice
#5. Ghost Hunt episodes 14 through 17: The Ryokuryou High Case
#6. Death Note episode 32: Selection
#7. Fruits Basket episode 10 (Does ANYONE really know the names without looking them up? Not many do. None of their titles are even really mentioned... unless you visit a place like tv.com or imdb, of course.)
#8. maybe xxxHolic's episode 10: Lamplight

Worst Episodes:
Any cooking fillers... actually, all food-related episodes. When have you ever seen a decent anime episode involving any type of "tasty" edibles? And that riceball stand in Fruits Basket doesn't count, since it was just a booth for a festival. Not mention, there are like ten of them in Bleach that all freaking suck and even a whole stupid mini-arc dedicated to curry in Naruto!

Favorite Voice Actor: Justin Cook

Best Anime Opening Themes:
Suzuka's Intro Theme
DNAngel's Opening

Best Anime Abridged Attack Name: Epilectic Seizure Attack!

Worst Anime Insult: Filler Villian!

While mentioning my some of my more treasured animes and mangas is fun, I suppose that mentioning FAN FICTION-related issues is more useful, not to mention relevant.
First off, I just can't STAND yaoi and crap like that! Seriously, what is the appeal?! There are times when I actually feel a little bad when stating an utter truth I usually pride myself on: I'm a female Otaku! That does not mean I enjoy reading about guys grope each other! Same goes for yuri!
OOCness is a truly a major pet peeve of mine. Although, not many crossovers stay in character in general, so I tend to make allowances for them since I basically expect the problem to be there in the first place.

Anyways, it's only natural that I ear-mark the best fanfictions I've found:

Ghost Hunt:
I read more Ghost Hunt than anything else, so I'll be sure to put the comedies and the real stories in different halves.

Dead Silence by Rosedream
Filled with the kind of suspense that makes you unable to put a book down.
Pairings:

Dead Comfort by Rosedream
A creative story set upon a provocative issue.
Pairings:

Haunting Life by mytruthaboutlife
Haunting Life picks up where the anime leaves off and continues with more cases; this is a series of stories, not one, so the next file is waiting for you after finish the one before. Truly magnificent works, too. Probably the only real rival to any of Rosedream's "Dead" stories have for a Ghost Hunt fanfic.
Pairings: NaruxMai

Dead Attractive by Rosedream
Pairings:

The return by KaiSea
Pairings:

Living Nightmare by darkwriter14
Not all orphans belong in orphanages. Especially one like Mai, when ghosts always follow in her wake.
Pairings:

Fairytale Nightmare by blackwitchkarma
Most fairytales never started out with happy endings. But Disney's not the only one to blame...
Pairings:

Train Wreck by blackwitchkarma
Pairings:

Hanging Haunted by iRLNN
Naru, our favorite sub-arctic narcissist, finds out that teenage horomones aren't the worst thing that can possess you.
Pairings: NaruxMai

Life and Death by 1Death-Angel4
A malevolent phantom is going after pregnant women... Mai and Naru did WHAT?! Geez, safe sex just took on a whole new meaning!
Pairings:

I'll Love You Forever by -X-.Giggles.-X-
Not all stories have happy endings... Especially when they're about ghostly stalkers.
Pairings:

Shades of Lust by Kyia Star
The best Lin x Mai story there is! And while it does portray Naru as a heartless jerk- which, I'll admit, he pretty much is- it keeps him in character and doesn't make him seem like a complete asshole. There is some pretty graphic lime sprinkled throughout- which is to be expected, given the title- but there ISN'T any lemon. This is a great story that doesn't rely on smut to pull in readers.
Shades of Lust's sequel:
Dancing Queen (again, by Kyia Star)
Pairings for both: LinxMai, eventual NaruxKasai, plus the usual TakigawaxAyako

Beware the Water by DrownMySoul
Pairings: currently showing Mai's Naru infatuation, but suggests an inevitable LinxMai

Will everything be alright? by Cute Disturbance
Third best Lin x Mai story to date. There are too many spelling errors to truly enjoy it, though.
Pairings: LinxMai

Playing with Naru chan by jactehsniper
How long can Naru keep up his seemingly impertrable cold air of stoicism? With Yasuhara, Mai, and the rest of SPR waiting in the wings to test his patience, all bets are off.
Pairings:

Holidays at SPR: And why you should avoid them by CullenvsBlack120
Pairings: NaruxMai, TakigawaxAyako, JohnxMasako

Tea Addicts Support Group! by CullenvsBlack120
Pairings: NaruxMai

MESSAGE DELETED by -X-.Giggles.-X-
Pairing: NaruxMai

Meeting the family of Mai Taniyama by -X-.Giggles.-X-
Be afraid. Be VERY afraid.

Naru's Boxers by Drair
What color are Naru's boxers? White? Black? Neon tye-dye with strategically placed pink spirals? The world may never know...

Bleach:

Uninvited Guests by Moczo
Now as much as I can't stand any sort of OOC issues, I think of the characters in this are successfully portrayed considering this is more like a written version of an anime abridge than an true intended fanfic.
Negotiating abridging this fic with dachamp21 of YouTube.

Safety by DelMarch
This is an Ikkaku/Yumichika story. No, not Ikakku x Yumichika! It focuses on the beginnings of their close friendship. Though emotional, the level of accuracy in the characters' original personality is almost unbelievable. It has follow a lot of brilliant follow-ups too:
Safety's sequel: What's In A Name? (Naturally, it's also by DelMarch)
Followed by a mini-exposition piece ~ The Wall Of Silence
Plus a hope-filled plot bunny, The Best Birthday Present Ever
These well-written stories actually make it hard to remember that they weren't in the original anime.

Kira's Bankai by xXxDuckyxXx
The best Bleach two-shot I've found to this day. It's not exactly what I'd call a crossover like it says, but a Bleach parody with an imfamous surprise. WARNING! Gut-busting.

Being The Perfect Uke Is Harder Than It Seems by DelMarch
Now, this is yaoi-flavored, not my usual cup of tea, but there's nothing explicit. Two guys in a relationship is just part of the context, nothing more.
Pairing: YumichikaxHisagi

Taking The Kids Trick Or Treating by DelMarch
Kids.

Bleach: The Peroxide Series by Millie M. Banshee
Pairings:

Inuyasha:

Mokomoko Plus Miko by Miss Kagura
This is the Inuyasha equivalent of Unwanted Guests.

Seven Feudal Fairy Tales by LadyBattossai
This is more reminiscent of a novel than a true fanfic.
Pairings: SesshomaruxKagome, for the most part, but some InuyashaxKagome.

Crime and Punishment by Serephina of the Kamis
By the end, I considered (not seriously) the possibility that most of it was ripped straight from a romance novel. I'm not intending for that to be an accusation, I meant it just had that kind of feel to it.
Pairings: SesshomaruxKagome

This Can't Be Good by Ithilwen K-Bane
Kagome's got dog-boy trained well, Koga's whipped, and Miroku... well, Miroku still needs work. But when a charming, but hopelessly obtuse Hojo somehow follows (actually, trips) Kagome through the well and gets himself stuck in the Feudal Era, hackles rise like never before. The only male that can stand him is the one his blind ignorance is the most danger to.

xxxHolic:

Misunderstood by Mercurial Phoenix
The price when wishing for the funniest jokes is that they are always at someone's expense.

Crossovers:

A Place In Society by Millie M. Banshee (Bleach and X-Men: Evolution Crossover)

New World, Same Problems by Reidluver (Bleach and xxxHolic Crossover)

Orange Sherbet by Millie M. Banshee (Fruits Basket and Bleach Crossover)

Oh Brother by Yoyosoul (Fruits Basket and Bleach Crossover)

Otherworld Blessing in Disguise by X-Alexius-X (Fruits Basket and Bleach Crossover)

Eidolon by Sorry Charlie (Inuyasha and Bleach Crossover)
If you loved LadyBattosai's Seven Feudal Fairytales or Flight of Time by LeoGrinnRiskin, this is definitely for you. In my personal opinion, (and therefore, it must be the truth) this is the best Inuyasha/Bleach Crossover.

Flight of Time by LeoGrimmRiskin (Inuyasha and xxxHolic Crossover)
Leaving his spastic adolescence behind, a more mature and somewhat enigmatic Kimihiro Watanuki now runs the wish-granting shop in Yuko's stead. After a certain modern-day miko runs out of his shop and down a well, fate decides to pull Watanuki through time after her... What now?

Digging Deeper by FantomoDrako (Ranma 1/2 and Inuyasha Crossover)
This fanfic focuses mainly on Ryoga, but leans more on the Inuyasha side otherwise. It's the best Ranma/Inuyasha crossover I've read so far.
Pairings:

A Fractured Blossom by weebee (Ranma 1/2 and Naruto Crossover)

It's the shinobi life for us by Davros (Ranma 1/2 and Naruto Crossover)

Hitotsu ni suru by Riniko22 (Ranma 1/2 and Naruto Crossover)

Wish by Chibichan91 (xxxHolic and Yu-Gi-Oh Crossover)

Lunchtime in the Crossover Cafeteria by YuriFan5 (Improptu Series Crossover)
A couple of discussions between mortified anime characters forced to do fan fictions from various series - currently: Inuyasha, Ramna, and Yu Yu Hakusho.
Pairings: Kagome and Inuyasha, the normal hot potato Ramna and Akane, and several other unwilling pairs.

Improperly-placed stories:

Phone Call by -X-.Giggles.-X- (Ghost Hunt)
Extremely OOC, but it's great for the Ghost Hunt-ignorant looking for a laugh.
Pairings: NaruxMai, a hint of MasakoxJohn

Dance Shoes by -X-.Giggles.-X- (X-Men: Evolution)
A well-done one-shot, it's a fascinating read, though a bit morbid. Then again, the macrabe carries it's own type of beauty. It reminds me of a creative writing poem more than a true story. Basically, the reason it's under this section is this was a story that Giggles didn't know what series to use it on, but picked Kitty from X-Men: Evolution for lack of a better choice- not that it was a bad fit, mind you- then added a detail or two to imply her character.

More later... this is a courtesy that shouldn't detract from my reading! (pout)
