| Indigo Tantarian |
Author has written 47 stories for Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy VII, Card Captor Sakura, Slayers, Yu-Gi-Oh, Xiaolin Showdown, Lupin III, Pokémon, Legend of Zelda, Discworld, and Portal. I'm Indigo, female, perpetual vagabond and job-hopper... And I love to write. I've been writing a massive 2-part original story for the past couple of years, but it'll never see the light of day. I am the ultimate creeper. I love reading, making sock creatures, taking pictures, the outdoors, hiking, horseback riding, traveling, and similar things. I love anime and video games, but honestly, I tend to disapprove of a lot of people who share my interests, especially off the internet. I am a bit of a loner, though I also revel in spending time with people I like, and meeting new ones. I do not live in my basement, attached to my computer. Not all day, anyway. Just for a little while. I was the small animal, reptile, and bird expert at a pet store for nearly a year. Yay, animals that don't bite! Boo, hamsters! In the summer (and various other times), work at a camp, in pretty much every area.. I've been a student in Japan and a student-teacher in China, and spent a year teaching English in Korea. I've also visited Canada, Thailand, India, Australia, and various parts of the US. I like it. I'm currently working at a dog daycare, and walking animal shelter dogs, because I want to. Yeah, I have a B.A. in English and M.Ed. in education, but I really would rather play with dogs. Go visit me on deviantart! My writing's there, along with old drawings and photos. http://indigo-.deviantart.com/ | |||||||
