BIG NEWS: Look, guys, I've had a hard week, so I probably won't be on, or getting back to you for a while. Blame the hormones and most of my Real Life fiends graduating in a few days.

Taking a break from Legend of Zelda for a bit; sorry guys, but I've got to get Portal2 out of my system (or at least into many, many satisfying oneshots) before I'll be very productive in that area.

The ToD is cancled. Sorry folks, but it shows no sign of getting fixed anytime in the near future, and I've been away from it for so long I doubt I'd be able to get back into the characters' heads the way I was. Check out Ganesh295, though. He helped me a lot, and could always use some more readers!

I have not given up on This Will Not End Well. It will continue. Not sure when, but it will. It's my first self-insert, I refuse to abandon it!

Across the Fandom, while I haven't got much claim (just my part of the collab) is something I'd like to continue. Read the main fic and maybe tell me what unclaimed pairing (listed or otherwise) you'd like to see me do, and I'll give it a shot as soon as the Muse forks over the inspiration. May or may not get posted, though. Depends on how well it comes out.

Name: Sophie

Gender: Female

Random fact about me: For my 12th birthday, my parents got me a copy of Minish Cap, and I've been a Vaati fangirl ever since (Said in a Monty Python-esque voice: I'm getting better...)

And please, someone Portal RP with me? http://wheatley-labs.proboards.com/index.cgi

I am an active writer who occasionally has to pause on her main story to pour her creativity into something else for a (usually very) short time. I believe the story has its own wants and desires, and that the author is just the vessel.

My LoZ timelines are: OoT-MM-TP-WW-PH-ST and MC-FS-FSA. They overlap some how, and the other GameBoy/Cube games fall in there somewhere, but I'm going to stick to the closest-to-confirmed path, thank you very much.

I will support any pairing, so long as it works in the setting and no one's out of character. There are pairings out there you will have to work really hard to convince me that they aren't automatically out of character for it to work, though. If you can make those happen, you are a truly amazing author, and you should go ask Nintendo for a job. Just not right now, finish that awesome story first. *big grin* Oh, and I hate it when a great story is just leading up to a kiss and the author going ":D Looky what I did!"

Pictures of my characters can be found on my "homepage," msfcatlover.deviantart.com

I am feeling the need to participate in that cutting-and-pasting thing...

15 things to do in Walmart.

1.Set all the alarm clocks in Electronics to go off at 5-minute intervals

2.Make a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the rest rooms.

3.Walk up to an employee and tell him/her in an official tone, " 'Code 3' in housewares"... and see what happens.

4.Go the Service Desk and ask to put a bag of M&M's on lay away.

5.Move a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area

6.Set up a tent in the camping department and tell other shoppers you'll invite them in if they'll bring pillows from the bedding department.

7.When a clerk asks if they can help you, begin to cry and ask, "Why can't you people just leave me alone?"

8.Look right into the security camera, use it as a mirror, and pick your nose.

9.Dart around the store suspiciously, loudly humming the "Mission Impossible" theme.

10.Hide in a clothing rack and when people browse through, say "PICK ME!" "PICK ME!"

11.When an announcement comes over the loud speaker, assume the fetal position and scream, "NO! NO! It's those voices again!!"

12.Go into a fitting room, shut the door, wait a while and then yell, very loudly, "There is no toilet paper in here!"

13.Get several bouncy balls and throw them down an aisle shouting "go, pikachu, go!"

14. Stage a conversation with your shadow. When you walk through a shady area, scream that your friend is missing.

15. Go to the kitchen section, pick up a butcher knife. Then go up to an employee and ask "Where are the anti-depressants?"

Now I feel a need to participate in one of those quiz things...

LIST YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTERS AND ACT AS IF YOU WERE ACTUALLY IN THE GAME:

1. Vaati

2. Shadow Link

3. Dark Link

4. Tetra

5. Sheik

6. Midna

7. Malon

8. Medli

9. Niko

10. Zelda

What would happen if number 1(Vaati) woke you up in the middle of the night?

Me: *pulls blankets up to chin* This is either an incredible dream, or a nightmare...

V: Heh... *sits down on yoga ball and enjoys scaring me*

Number 3(Dark Link) walked into the bathroom while you're showering?

Me: OH MY GODS! GET OUT OF HERE, YOU PERV!! AND KNOCK NEXT TIME!!!

DL: *covers eyes* I'M GOING! *runs out at high speed*

Me: SHUT THE STUPID DOOR!!!!

Number 4(Tetra) announced he/she's going to marry 9(Niko) tomorrow?

I thought she didn't like the swabbie...Oh well. We all know who'll be wearing the pants in that family, huh?

Number 5(Sheik) cooked you dinner?

Me: Wow, thanks! Um...what's in it?

Number 6(Midna) was lying next to you on the beach, sleeping?

Wait, how is she not a shadow? I'm not waking her up to ask!

Number 7(Malon) suddenly confessed to be part of your family?

You know, I can actually picture being related to Malon...I have Irish heritage, she has almost stereotypically red hair...she's good with horses, I'm good with animals.

Number 8(Medli) got into the hospital somehow?

Probably starved (Hey, did any of you see food in that temple?). Aren't we glad the Hero checked up on her?

Number 9(Niko) made fun of your friends?

Me: Wow. For a guy without many, you sure are rude...And to think you actually made my top ten...

N: Wait, I'm in your top ten? I TAKE IT BACK! I TAKE IT ALL BACK!

Please let it be noted that Skull Kid has been promoted from #11 to #9, Zelda remains #10.

SK: YEAH!

N: *sob*

Number 10(Zelda) ignored you all the time?

She's a princess! She doesn't have time to pay attention to lowly authors like me!

Two serial killers are hunting you down. What will 1(Vaati) do?

Give me a weird look and ask how I know. Then get really pissed off because I snuck into his workroom to do some scrying. Eventually help me, I believe he's a good person at heart.

You're on a vacation with 2(Shadow Link) and manage to break your leg. What does 2 do?

Laugh for a really long time before I muster up enough energy to use my AWESOME AUTHOR POWERS to slap him across his stupid face. Eventually my LoZ fangirlness will allow me to dredge enough info out of my subconsciousness to blackmail him into using his shadow powers to warp us to the hospital, because the AWESOME AUTHOR POWERS don't work on me.

It's your birthday. What does 3(Dark Link) get you?

...An unlit bomb...Why do I get the feeling he teamed up with Shadow on this one?

You're stuck in a house that's on fire. What does 4(Tetra) do?

Warp me out using the Triforce of Wisdom, check for anyone else in there, then scold me for being stupid enough to get stuck in the first place.

You're about to do something that'll make you feel extremely embarrassed. What will 5(Sheik) do?

He'd drop hints on how to get out of it in his overly-subtle Sheikah way.

You're about to marry number 10(Zelda). What's 1(Vaati)'s reaction:

V: You're straight as an arrow and under 18. What's really going on here?

Me: Just because you always have an ulterior motive doesn't mean everyone must *shifty eyes*

You got dumped by someone. How will 7(Malon) cheer you up?

Let me ride the horses *sigh...*

You compete in a tournament. How does 9(Skull Kid) support you?

Cheer. Play a march on his little horn.

You can't stop laughing. What will 10(Zelda) do?

Ask me what's so funny, and then join me in an hour of exchanging funny things.

Number 1(Vaati) is all you've ever dreamed of. Why?

Um...I did mention almost-past fangirlness, right?

Everyone: YES!

V: *shudder*

Then let's not go into that, m'kay?

Number 2(Shadow Link) tells you about his/her deeply hidden love for number 9(Skull Kid)

Why Shadow! I didn't know you trusted me with things like that! *evil grin* Does that mean all those Four Swords fanfics about you and Link are true?

You're dating 3(Dark Link) and he/she introduces you to their family. Would you get along?

Dark's got a family? Well, if I can get along with him as well as I clearly am, I can get along with just about anybody, right?

Will number 5(Sheik) and 6(Midna) ever kiss?

I am a determined MidnaXLink fan. If you don't know what I'm talking about, watch the final battle. Look at Link's face when she warps him out and stays behind, or when he thinks she's dead, or when there's a chance she's alive. And the final sequence...Oh my gods, I AM NOT A SAP AND I CRIED! Only Twilight Princess Link can have Midna, and vice versa.

Number 6(Midna) appears to be a player, breaking many hearts. What do you do?

WHAT DID I JUST SAY?!?!?!

Could 1(Vaati) and 6(Midna) be soul mates?

SEE LAST QUESTION!

You had a haircut and 7(Malon) can't stop looking at you. What goes on in your mind?

It looks bad and you're trying to be nice about it, aren't you? :(

Number 8(Medli) thinks he/she’ll never get a girl/boyfriend. What will you tell him/her?

It's okay, girl...being a sage can't be all bad, right? Tell you what, you take a quick vacation, go visit Komali. I'm pretty sure he's into you! *winkwinknudgenudge*

Number 9(Skull Kid) is too shy to face you and confesses their love by sending an email. Now what?

Aw...he's so cute...I'd like him as a little brother. I think we'd get along well!

You spot 10(Zelda) kissing 1(Vaati). How do you react?

The ZeldaXVaati pairing? I've never been a big fan of it...Mainly because of a fore mentioned Vaati fangirlness...I suppose I'd face Zelda with it later and explain to her that Vaati is a womanizer who kidnapped and/or cursed several of her previous incarnations, stole two large sources of power, and turns into a demon when he's pissed off.

1(Vaati) accidentally kicked 10(Zelda)

He's trying to get her attention again...=_=...

BITCH-SLAP HIM ZELDA! I'M NEXT IN LINE!

You notice that 3(Dark Link) and 4(Tetra) have been inside that hotel room for MORE than a few hours. What are you thinking?

I assume he his holding her captive for some reason, but don't let that stop me from banging on the door and making suggestive comments where the others can hear.

V: We all know you're too shy to do that.

Me: Maybe in Real Life, but don't forget, in the hypothetical world, I have AWESOME AUTHOR POWERS to back me up and give me confidence. *big grin*

Number 4(Tetra) is bored and pokes 10(Zelda). What happens after that?

Z: Wait, how it that even possible?

Me: I dunno...

2(Shadow) sent a message to his/her Bf/Gf but 9(Skull Kid) got it. What would happen?

SK: *giggle*

Me: Lemme see...OH MY GODS!

V: What's all the yelling about?

Me: *shows him message*

V: *blank stare*...BWAHAHAHA!

Z: What's going on?

V: *shows her message*

Z: *snicker*

T: *runs in* MY ROYAL SELF IS LAUGHING! WHAT'S SO FUNNY?!

V: *shows her message*

(insert time-lapse here)

SL: *walks in, sees everyone standing around barely controlling laughter* What's going on here?

Everyone: *looks at him, bursts into laughter*

SL: *WTF look*

6(Midna) noticed he/she wasn't invited to your birthday?

Oh gods, I'm so dead...*runs for life*

RANDOM ME SAYINGS:

You're just jealous because the voices talk to me and not to you.

Silence is golden. DuctTape is platinum.

I take pride in my nerdy-fangirl-ness.

I have never told a lie. Except for that one time...

I'm not antisocial! I have lots of imaginary friends!

...Sorry. I was having a moment.

I find you can get away with just about anything by blaming your medical conditions.

WHO'S A CUTE WITTLE KITTY? IS IT YOU? YES IT'S YOU!

We all have that little voice inside of us, telling us to kill...Why do you think video games are so wildly successful?

I USE THE AWESOME AUTHOR POWERS!

Real Life sucks. Why do you think I spend so much time here?

Some times I think This is it! The last straw! This time, I'm leaving and never coming back!...my record is one mile.

If it's real, you don't have to say "Fact."

...I'll shut up now.

These should be centered. For some reason, they keep un-centering themselves. If they've done it again, close your eyes and try to picture it centered. If that doesn't work, get one of your friends to give you a good knock about the head, it's a good temporary solution *charming smile*

Don't message me about it. I'll spot it and fix it by the end of the week. If you message me about it, I guarantee I will write back, "I /KNOOOW!/"

I'm rarely serious, but this really spoke to me:

This is a story about some homosexuals and their sad life. If you care at all, copy and paste this into your profile:
I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.
I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.
I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.
We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.
I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.
I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.
I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again.
I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.
We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.
I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.
I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.
I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.
I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.
I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.
I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.
I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.
I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I didn’t have to always deal with society hating me.
I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.
I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.
Repost this if you believe homophobia is wrong

A very proud moment for me: Phantom Hourglass, first playthrough. "Take that, Bellum! Ha! No death playthrough! HA!"

A very poor moment for me: Twilight Princess, Ocarina of Time, and Majora's Mask. "ReDeads,ReDeads,ReDeads LEAVE ME ALONE!"

A horrible disappointment for me: Skyward Sword. (SPOILER ALERT!) "...WTF?! I thought there wasn't going to be any Ganon in this game!? This is so a recolor of Ganon with Midna's hair stuck on top! He even as some of Twilight Princess Ganondorf's attcks!"

...You know, I'd like to try and start a few things.

"If you love to WRITE cliffhangers, but hate to READ them, copy-and-paste-you-know-the-drill."

"If you play/watch/read TONS of fandoms and have story ideas for many/all of them, copy-and-paste-you-know-the-drill."

"If the above applies, yet you've only written/posted fanfics for ONE of them, copy-and-paste-you-know-the-drill." (This no longer applies to me, but since I made it up to correspond with the one above it, I'm going to leave it up. Let's hear it for Portal 2, for breaking my Legend of Zelda-only streak!)

"If you are a fan of Rex from Avalon Code, and don't see why nobody else in the world seems to be willing to forgive him, copy-and-paste-you-know-the-drill."

"If you've played Avalon Code and thought RexXTia was adorable, copy-and-paste-you-know-the-drill."

"If you've played Avalon Code and would love to see a AnwarXFana fanfic some/anywhere, copy-and-paste-you-know-the-drill."

"If you love multiple pairings, even for the same characters in the same game, copy-and-paste-you-know-the-drill."

"If you have ever seen a pairing that goes so far against the characters' personalities, relationship, and world that you wish you could scrub the inside of your brain, copy-and-paste-you-know-the-drill." (For me, it was when I wandered into the Xanth section of fanfic and saw a story claiming to be BinkXTrent. No. Not happening. In no universe. Ever.)

"If you can't figure out who to pair your OCs with and don't really care so long as it's cute and works, copy-and-paste-you-know-the-drill."

"If you love a certain character only when they're in a totally unusual pairing for some reason, copy-and-paste-you-know-the-drill."

"If you are a cat AND a dog person, copy-and-paste-you-know-the-drill."

"If you own an unusual pet, copy-and-paste-you-know-the-drill." (I has a lobstah. His name be Rempo.)

"If you like rock, but can also appriciate pop, and sorta-kinda-almost enjoy rap, copy-and-paste-you-know-the-drill."

"If you come up with OCs for everything you watch/play/read, fully knowing you'll probably never be able to make a fanfic for them to show up in, copy-and-paste-you-know-the-drill."

"If you cried your eyes out at the end of Okamiden, copy-and-paste-you-know-the-drill. If not, you either haven't played the game, or are a liar!" (Confess, people. The fact that scene was so well done that it moved you/us/me to tears is a compliment to the gamemakers. Even if you/we/I did want to strangle them for killing him...*sob*)

And yes, all these things apply to me.

Remember: Alerting tells the author you love the story. Favoriting tells your friends and fans that you love the story. Reviewing tells everyone what you think about the story, good or bad, and most authors will be happy for any comments or advice you give them.
