Fan fiction is what literature might look like if it were reinvented from scratch after a nuclear apocalypse by a band of brilliant pop-culture junkies trapped in a sealed bunker. They don’t do it for money. That’s not what it’s about. The writers write it and put it up online just for the satisfaction. They’re fans, but they’re not silent, couch bound consumers of media. The culture talks to them, and they talk back to the culture in its own language--I don't know who it's by but its great

OBITUARY FOR THE LATE MR. COMMON SENSE

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as: Knowing when to come in out of the rain; why the early bird gets the worm; Life ...isn't always fair; and Maybe it was my fault. Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge). His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6 year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition. Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get Parental consent to administer Calpol, sun lotion or a band-aid to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion. Common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband; churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault. Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement. Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust; his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason. He is survived by his 3 stepbrothers; I Know My Rights, Someone Else Is To Blame, and I'm A Victim. Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.

RIP We shall remember

About Me:

Now that we have gotten that out-of-the-way a bit about me: I am an adult by legal standings, a Christian female, a college student who works, has two younger siblings and a set of parents on her most of the time. Now as you can imagine I don't have a ton of time to write but I TRY to never abandon a story, I might take it down if it sucks or to revamp but I don't usually abandon a story.

Updating:

Concerning my updating . . . .it's well . . .sporadic . . . at best. I can update twice in one day or once in two months (I try not to do this). The thing is I try not to post anything crappy, and usually end up doing several rewrites of a chapter (Better for me and you), I also try to make each chapter at least a thousand words.

Disclaimer:

Here is my disclaimer because I am horrible at putting it in the story. I own nothing, pretty sure that was made clear considering this is FanFiction.net! Either way I don't own the characters or the story or anything. I simply manipulate what is already there and pull a few strings. Thank you kindly.

Stories:

Lightning and Thunder:

Lightning and Thunder is a story I took over from a very excellent co-writer who I consider a friend and is a multiple chapter story, the first seven chapters are hers, I make that very clear, it's why they are longer. Everything after that is mine. I have such great readers and reviewers for this story and I love it.

A Mother's Peace in the Noise and Mess

A Mother's Peace in the Noise and Mess is my first one shot and I quite enjoyed the feeling of no strings attached, it's quite lovely indeed. Anyways it's a Hermione and Neville story and while this isn't my favorite pairing the idea came to mind after working in my aunt's preschool and watching all the mothers coming to pick up their children. Anyways I'll let you read it instead of going in-depth. Just be warned there is a suffocating amount of FLUFF involved.

The Drabbles Go On

Harry Potter drabbles that come from small, teeny, tiny sparks of creativity that have nowhere to go. I am taking requests for these. Quite a few have some fluff and there is no real plot to any of them so enjoy. This is now complete!

An Emotional Alpha

An Emotional alpha comes to us from the shifter world written by Rachel Vincent and stems from ideas formed about what happens after the last book. A very good series, it is dedicated to Mae-e, a faithful reader and a person I call a friend. If you haven't read the series I suggest that you do. It has a kick butt female lead who I would never want to meet in a dark alley at night.

When Everything Changes Nothing Stays the Same

This story comes to you from a more sadistic part of my brain, it involves a lot of sad with a small bright happy spark. It is a Fred and Hermione story and a one shot.

A Vision in Cream

This story is an example of what happens when an author leaves me to decide what happens in a character's life after the story ends and I get really board. THe series the story is based on is by Rachel Vincent, I highly recommend it :)

Ripple Effect

As you may have noticed this story is nowhere to be seen on my profile. This is because I am a co-author of this story and it is posted under the original author's profile, MidnightShadow0110. It is a Naruto story, and a time-travel fic the pairing is Minato and Sakura, and my writing begins on the second chapter. It is a story I am very excited to be writing and my co-author is a wonderful person, anyways here's the link if you're interested, http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8308024/1/Ripple_Effect.

A Cloud on the Horizon

I am apparently insane since I have decided to start another multi-chapter story only this time it's in the Naruto verse. So on the happier side of things I'm branching out! Any who this story is a Sakura and Shi pairing for the simple reason that I really enjoy the more odd, and rare pairings. (Do not get me started) Anyways enjoy!

80 Day Challenge

In an effort to get the creative juices flowing I have embarked on an 80 day challenge! I decided to use the Naruto verse and it's a series of one shots centering around many Sakura pairings. I am taking requests for the pairings but I already have most of the prompts. So leave a review and let me know what you think. Sakura will be paired with pretty much every guy in the series but let me know who you'd like to see!

Long Distance

Long Distance is a DaruiXSakura one shot that stemmed from my 80 Day Challenge. I was asked to post it up separately as well just to see if it would get anyone else's creative juices flowing for this couple. I hope it does, since I don't plan on writing more for them, but you never know.

A Whisper in the Wind

This is a Minato and Sakura story, and from what I've read it's a bit different than the usual story. The prologue is sad, I admit this, I do ask that you give it a chance and go on to the next chapter.Anyways this story has dictated my thoughts lately so enjoy.

Marriage of Convenience

This is what happens when you have encouraging readers who like you're writing. They encourage your crack pairings . . . It's a HiashiXSakura story in a series of one shots. I like it :) This is now complete with an epilogue.

Close to the Heart

This is a follow-up to my AsumaXSakura Arc within 80 day challenge, it was nagging at me so I went ahead and wrote it. It can stand alone, but if you want the back story go read that part of 80 day challenge, it's easy to find, the chapters are listed Asuma Part 1 and Asuma Part 2. Check it out!

My Life Spins On

Another brain child born from 80 Day Challenge! Madara has won and kidnapped Sakura, read to see what happens!

Summoning Sakura

My third story created from 80 Day Challenge, it is a ShikamaruXSakura story.

I always take requests, just PM me.
