Profile:

Hey! She's actually updating her bio! I have no idea whether anyone reads these things, but if they do, I figure I ought to make it 1)entertaining and 2)accurate. Not necessarily in that order. Let's see...I like to think of myself as a geek; when I get to my lists of favorites you'll see why. I am one of the few girls I know who can have a reasonably intelligent-sounding conversation about video games or Dungeons and Dragons. I read the Lord of the Rings years before the movies came out. I chose my name because it means 'forest green', not because it has any resemblance to my real name. I love puns. I am rather nitpicky about punctuation, but I'm not mean about it; I think I'd make a good beta-reader, if anyone's interested. Let's just have a look at my favorites; that'll explain more than anything just who I am.

Anime/Manga:Yu-gi-oh, Pokemon(the first few seasons/movies), Digimon (Adventure only, for the most part), Cardcaptors(season 1 and a bit of 2), Rurouni Kenshin, Inuyasha, Saint Tail, Ranma 1/2, Trigun, Weiss Kreuz, Slayers(first season), Pretear, Saiyuki, Tsubasa, Great Teacher Onizuka, Chobits, X, Last Exile, Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, and a little Fushigi Yuugi, Rayearth, and Evangelion.

Video Games: Pokemon(all), Zelda(starting with A Link to the Past), Paper Mario, Super Smash Bros.(both), Metroid(all), Golden Sun: The Lost Age, Tales of Symphonia, Final Fantasy VII, Fire Emblem 7.

Fantasy/Sci-fi: Anything by Tolkien, Diane Duane, Bruce Coville, Timothy Zahn, Douglas Adams(except Mostly Harmless), Tamora Pierce, Patricia C. Wrede, or Diana Wynne Jones. (almost) All Star Wars, Star Trek up to DS9, Issac Asimov's Foundation books, Anne McCaffrey's Pern series, all major and some minor superheroes and -villains, Kim Possible, Shrek, Eoin Colfer's Artemis Fowl books, anything ever ever written by Neil Gaiman and/or Terry Pratchett.

Other books/movies: A couple Marx Brothers movies, Abbott and Costello's 'Who's on First?' routine, Les Miserables, The DaVinci Code, pretty much anything with Harrison Ford or Sean Connery in it, RENT.

Music: A mix of Alternative and Classic Rock. Examples include The Beatles, Michelle Branch, Queen, and Barenaked Ladies. Also the movie soundtracks to Anastasia, Beauty and the Beast, Mulan, The Little Mermaid, the first two Pokemon movies, Shrek, all Lord of the Rings, and anything by John Williams. Also Les Miserables, and RENT.

Other: Hiking, gardening, cats, green, nature, stuff that changes colors, stagecraft (set-building, stage crew, lights, sound, etc), singing, writing(duh), puzzles(I have always loved puzzles, even before I started watching Yu-gi-oh), word games, music, languages, dragons, elves, lemons, finding the number "42" in odd places.

Pokemon: Brock/Misty
Digimon: Sorato(but you'll really have to convince me), Mimato
Harry Potter: Harry/Hermione

Pairings I actively avoid:

Yu-gi-oh: Mai/Anzu, Seto/Mokuba, Mokuba/Noa
Pokemon: Brock/Tracey
Digimon: Daiken, Taito, Taisuke
Harry Potter: Fred/George, Snape/anyone (the guy doesn't do love, and he doesn't do pairings)
LOTR: Legolas/Gimli, Merry/Pippin, Elladan/Elrohir, Aragorn and Arwen/anyone but each other
Tales of Symphonia: All incest except hintings of one-sided Mithos/Martel, Kvar or Rodyle/anyone
Weiss Kreuz: Farfarello/anyone (So not into torture in relationships.)
Last Exile: Claus/any guy (all the other guys in that series are just...no. Not with Claus.)

As you can see, I like my slash and yaoi/shounen-ai in moderation. I'm not some militant anti-gay person or anything - far from it - but a lot of m/m pairings - slash moreso than yaoi - take the involved characters so OOC that it's frightening. I will bend my rules greatly for anything that looks well-written, except incest, which is almost guaranteed to squick me out. (There are some instances of canon incest in certain of my favorite anime cough Hakkai /cough . I try not to think about it too much.) Also, I will read many pairings not on my top list; those are just my favorites.

I have a tendency to write for only one pet fandom at a time, although I read many. Currently and for quite a while now, that fandom is Tales of Symphonia. I do not forsee myself writing much else in the near future.

Quotes:

"If life gives you lemons...read them!" -Me

Me: "Hey, that guy looks like Sanzo, except with Goku's Nyoi-bo."
Guy: "My name is Genjyo Sanzo!"
Me: O.O! "Heh..."- Watching the Read Or Die OVA in anime club

"If you don't like my driving, you come get these handcuffs off!" - A bumper sticker; it always makes me think of Regal...

Do you want me to tell you something really subversive?
Love is everything it's cracked up to be.
That's why people are so cynical about it.
It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for.
And the trouble is, if you don't risk everything, you risk even more.
- Erica Jong

"Taoism is relevant to followers of many religions, including Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, and Quantum Physicists." - A classmate, in a presentation on Taoism.

"Potatoe & Leak Vegatable" - A sign in my college cafeteria indicating the soup of the day. At least they didn't mispell the ampersand... (Should read "Potato & Leek Vegetable".)

"Just say NO to negativity" - a bumper sticker

Rants:

Kraine and Kranna fans please read!

I would like to make some statements regarding the rather vicious debate between fans of the pairings Kraine and Kranna.
First of all, I don't see why people have to be so nasty about it. Just because you don't share someone's opinion doesn't mean you have to be cruel about it. Respect people's opinions. Play nice. These aren't real people, remember, except for the life we give them by considering them as though they were.
Next, I will state for the record that I am a Kraine fan. Hear me out, purists, before you send angry emails. I like Kratos. I like Raine. I think that, under the right circumstances, they could be an interesting couple. I am not, and never have been, suggesting that Kratos should forget Anna. Clearly, that would be one of the barriers to any relationship they might have. But love is an unpredictable thing, and I believe that, given time (which Raine has plenty of), the past can be put to rest. And anyway, it's fanfiction. I'm willing to be open-minded, to accept multiple variations on the same character. I have seen Kratoses that will never love anyone other than Anna. I have seen Kratoses willing and able to move on and seek happiness in the future. They are equally true to the original.
Kraine fans! I am sick and tired of seeing Kraine fans who hate Anna! Kranna is canon. Deal with it! If you claim to love Kratos, you should respect him enough to have faith in his taste in women. If not that, then at least have some respect for the dead? I dislike character-bashing in general, and Anna-haters really, really get on my nerves. Kratos loved her; this should be enough of a reason to respect her in and of itself. I fully support Kranna at any point in any timeline when Anna is alive. No question there. It's only when she isn't around that other possibilities open up.
Questions? Comments? Ideas? Email me! All comments will be responded to in kind; thoughtful comments with my own thoughts, flames with mockery. I'm pretty good at that, been taking lessons in snark from Yuan. Don't take my word for it, though; go ahead and flame. See how far it gets you. But remember one of the underlying themes of the game: Hatred only begets hatred.

New rant!

Dear Tales of Symphonia pairing-warriors and fanbrats:
What is up with the hate? Why are there pairing wars here, and why the character-bashing? It's bad enough that it happens in other fandoms, but guess what the primary message of our canon is? Tolerance Statements like "Everyone has the same heart" abound, and the general message is that bad things happen when people hate other people for no good reason. So why do you do this? As I've said before in a forum, how could so many people have completely and utterly missed the point?!

Still trying to love,
A Renegade Fangirl
