Hello! I am MaeradElednor! I love to read and write, which is to be expected (I'm on fanfiction.net, people!) I made my own account on here because I myself spend a lot of time on this site, reading fanfiction off of my favorite books and movies. I think it's really great that people like taking books and twisting it their own way. In my own opinion, some of these stories on here are better than the actual story the authors based it off of. I am definitely not as good a writer as them, but I think that this site will help me branch off on my writing. So, here's to that!

Here's some some random facts about me--

Nicknames: Nani (pronounced 'nah-knee'), Ren Nara(pronouced 'wren'), Sage

Hair Color: Brown

Eyes Color: Brown

Favorite Color: Blue, especially Caribbean Blue

Favorite Song(s): Too Close- Alex Clare (currently), Numb- Linkin Park, Grenade- Bruno Mars, Everytime We Touch- Cascada

Favorite Book(s): Don't even get me started! [check farther down my profile]

Favorite Movie(s): Avatar, Hugo, October Sky, A Far Off Place, Australia, Letters to Juliet, and many more!

Favorite Food: I honestly don't know!

Favorite School Subject: Math, I guess?

Dream Vacation(s): Hawaii, Germany, Italy, England

I also have accounts on:

www.deviantART.com (if you haven't been there, it's a wonderful art site!)

www.fictionpress.com- an identical site to fanfiction.net, except you can make up your own stories there- my writing name is the same as here

If you want to, go check out my other work-in-progress Nine Different Realms. It's a sci-fi story about nine teenagers who work together to defeat the antagonist.

Favorite book series(along with fav characters and slashes) have been:

Harry Potter(J. K. Rowling)- Severus Snape will always be my fav! I especially love fanfics about Severus and Harry being father and son

Pellinor(Alison Croggon)- Maerad/Cadvan forever

Eragon(Christopher Paolini)- Eragon/Arya? Murtagh's my fav though!

The Sea of Trolls(Nancy Farmer)- Jack/Thorgil

Cat Warriors(Erin Hunter)- love Firestar, Brambleclaw, Leafpool, Crowfeather, etc. etc. etc...

Sarcastic Product Placement:

On a Sears hairdryer: Do not use while sleeping. ( that's the only time I have to work on my hair).
