Bio:

I'm a female high school senior in the U.S.A. and an aspiring writer. I love languages, calculus, and music. My eyesight is awful and I can't see much without contact lenses. I drink tea as an everyday thing and love video games :) RPGs are way better than FPSs. I can't play a game that has more combat than plot. My fanfic stories are generally relationship-oriented, whether it's romance or friendship. I'm a bit of an unreliable updater, since I spend a lot of time working on my own original writing as well as fanfiction. School keeps me incredibly busy, especially since it's senior year and I'm applying for college! Thanks for stopping by my profile :)

FAQ:

All of your stories are connected! Which one do I start with?

Start with "Commander Shepard, You've Got Mail." All of the other Mass Effect stories stem from that one, except for "It's a Human Thing," which is sort of a prequel and not necessary reading. Same goes for "Dossier: Shepard," which is a plotless piece that basically describes the Shepard I use for all my ME fanfic.

Are you planning on writing an ME2 Shakarian story after CSYGM and THAFPF are over?

It's a little difficult for me to give a concrete answer at this point. So I will say that I definitely have PLANS. I would love to continue Garrus and Shepard's story into the ME2 storyline (adding my little additions to the canon plot along the way). But it will depend on multiple factors, including how busy I am, what other projects I'm working on, and whether I'm still feeling the inspiration to write Mass Effect fanfic by the time my two ongoing multichapters are concluded. Rest assured that I will make an announcement when I do know for sure what my plans are.

What does CSYGM and THAFPF stand for?

"CSYGM" is an acronym for "Commander Shepard, You've Got Mail." THAFPF refers to its companion story, "The Heart Asks for Pleasure first."

What happened to your other stories in the FF7 and Hetalia fandoms?

I deleted them. They were written quite some time ago and, being the paranoid sort of writer, it makes me very nervous when people read my older writing. So I did a purge of everything from old fandoms. I understand that some of the stories were quite popular, and if anyone really misses them, I kept copies. Let me know and I'll send one your way.

Can I use ideas/characters/plot points from one of your stories in my own work?

It depends on the circumstances and exactly how much you are planning to borrow. Needless to say, ALWAYS ask for permission first, and ALWAYS give me credit in your author's note or description. I know plagiarism is difficult to combat on the internet, but I do consider my ideas to be my own, and having other people steal your work without permission is really a terrible experience. If you ask, I will say yes 90% of the time, as long as the above two requirements are fulfilled. But please do ask first. My readers are a loyal and observant lot, and will often report back to me if they find something in another story that corresponds too closely to something in one of mine.

As of a while ago, I am a Shakarian shipper. For those of you who don't know, it's a Mass Effect pairing, and it's the BEST THING EVER. These are my favorite Shakarian songs, along with the verses that particularly stand out to me.

Shakarian Playlist:

No Light, No Light -- Florence The Machine

No light, no light in your bright blue eyes
I never knew daylight could be so violent
A revelation in the light of day
You can't choose what stays and what fades away

And I'd do anything to make you stay
No light, no light
No light
Tell me what you want me to say

Through the crowd, I was crying out
And in your place there were a thousand other faces
I was disappearing in plain sight
Heaven help me, I need to make it right

Starlight -- Muse

Far away
This ship is taking me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die

But I'll never let you go
If you promised not to fade away
Never fade away

My Love -- Sia

You gave it all, gave into the call
You took a chance and
You took a fall for us

You came thoughtfully, loved me faithfully
You taught me honor, you did it for me

Tonight you will sleep for good
You will wait for me my love

Strangeness and Charm -- Florence The Machine

The static of your arms, it is the catalyst
You're a chemical that burns, there's nothing like this
It's the purest element, but it's so volatile
An equation heaven sent, a drug for angels

Cosmic Love -- Florence The Machine

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

I took the stars from my eyes, and then I made a map
And knew that somehow I could find my way back
Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too
So I stayed in the darkness with you

M4 Part II -- Faunts

Fight your foes you’re on your own
Holy war is on the phone
Asking to please stay on hold
The bleeding loss of blood runs cold

And I need you to recover
Because I can’t make it on my own

Archangel -- Two Steps From Hell (instrumental)

The Heart Asks for Pleasure -- "The Piano" soundtrack (instrumental)

Exogenesis: Symphony Part 2 (Cross-Pollination) -- Muse

Rise above the crowds
And wade through toxic clouds
Breach the outer sphere
The edge of all our fears
Rest with you
We are counting on you
It's up to you

Spread, our codes to the stars
You must rescue us all
Tell us, tell us your final wish?
Now we know you can never return
Tell us, tell us your final wish?
We will tell it to the world

Only If For A Night -- Florence the Machine

And I heard your voice
As clear as day
And you told me I should concentrate
It was all so strange
And so surreal
That a ghost should be so practical
Only if for a night

And the only solution was to stand and fight
And my body was loose and I was set alight
But she came over me like some holy rite
And although I was burning, you're the only light
Only if for a night

You Are A Tourist -- Death Cab for Cutie

When there's a burning in your heart
And you think it'll burst apart
Or there's nothing to feel
Save the tears, save the tears
When there's a burning in your heart

Because when you find yourself the villain in the story you have written
It's plain to see
That sometimes the best intentions are in need of redemptions
Would you agree?
If so please show me

Never Say Never -- The Fray

Picture, you're the queen of everything
As far as the eye can see
Under your command
I will be your guardian
When all is crumbling
To steady your hand

Notes:

I review every story that I read on my computer, but since I usually read fanfiction on my phone, I generally can't leave reviews. Sorry about that. I will favorite and subscribe, though.

Constructive comments are always appreciated!
