Author has written 43 stories for Twilight, Short Second Life of Bree Tanner, Sonic the Hedgehog, Star Wars, Star Wars, Hunger Games, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Snow White and the Huntsman, and Grisha Trilogy.

I'm a teenage writer who plans to take it seriously. I figured it was about time I cleaned up this rather messy profile page of mine, so here's a brief summary of me: I love to read, I love to write, and I hope to turn writing into my career one of these days. Fanfics are a great place to start, right? :)

My pen name is still Shadows of a Dream on www.fictionpress.com, where I posted a short story detailing a concept for a fantasy novel that I have. If you ever get the chance, maybe look me up there and give me some advice on the idea? But I digress. I'm glad you're on my profile page at all. :) If you read any of my fics, please do review. Just refrain from flames. Constructive criticism, on the other hand, is totally welcome - and encouraged.

Guildenstern: "Which dreams indeed are ambition, for the very substance of the ambitious is merely the shadow of a dream." Hamlet: "A dream itself is but a shadow." Shakespeare's "Hamlet" I found that quote after choosing my pen name. It's ironic, really, but that pen name is now set in stone. I am a wild ambition - the shadow of a dream - specifically, the dream of actually getting published one day. So, call me "Shadows" for short.
