Thought it was high time this little dealio was changed. That, and it's giving me an excuse to procrastinate being productive...

I've had an account here for what, four years? Before that, I'd been dabbling around the site for about a year. God, that means I've been coming to ff.net for five years. Way to make myself feel old. Being here this long means I've seen a lot of awesome people, both authors and reviewers, come and go, and I miss them. Here's to hoping they come back and join the new regime of writers.

Anyways, I'm a somewhat sardonic seventeen year old Minnesotan who flips back and forth between Harry Potter and Tamora Pierce, going through periods when I read constantly and others when I only check for updates on stories I've been reading. I love musicals, with Rent, Wicked, and Phantom of the Opera as my favorites. I literally live off of those soundtracks. I have four essential food groups, consisting of Starbucks, creme brulee, muffins, and ice cream. I can't live without some sort of chapstick and love horseback riding. I also have an affinity for quotes, traveling, politics, and history. I'm a big believer in honesty, and think constructive criticism is one of the greatest things ever.

Favorite authors would be J.K. Rowling, Tamora Pierce, Dan Brown, and Jane Austen. I'll read any pair, but I definitely have my favorites. For Tamora Pierce: Alanna/George, Daine/Numair, Kel/Dom, and Aly/Nawat or Aly/Taybur. If anyone has written an Alanna/Alex, let me know...I was thinking awhile ago about how interesting that could be. For Harry Potter, it's definitely Harry/Ginny, Ron/Hermione, and Lily/James. I'm honestly addicted to L/J fanfics, so let me know if you want me to read yours.

I'm currently re-writing Jewel for about the five hundreth time, and I'm actually satisfied with it. I'm not posting anything quite yet, but I am currently on the prowl for a beta. So please let me know if you're interested.
