Hello, fellow fanfic addicts and welcome to my author profile page! I guess a little bit of info about myself is in order so here we go.

I am female and am twenty-three years old.

I still consider myself to be a teenager--my level of maturity depends on who I am with you see. ;)

I live with my parents, don't drive and have a dog named Speedy (affectionately called Speed Bump, Spud, Sir Licks-a-lot and the moving rug.)

My username is actually the meaning of both my first name and middle name put together, kind of nifty if I do say so myself. ;)

I am a Christian, but I won't bash you over the head with a Bible if you don't believe the same way that I do.

My career of choice is to become a published author of both fiction and poetry and I am working towards that goal.

I have participated in NaNoWriMo twice so far and plan on doing so again this July when Camp starts up.

I have a very strange sense of humour and I prefer puns to outright jokes (not that I don't enjoy some of those too.)

I love doing Yoga and am doing my best to make healthy choices, but it is hard for I am quite fond of sweets.

As to my Stories:

Well, there are a few things I guess I should mention about my writing. Number one: I do not write slash or lemons of any kind, if you like to think of my stories in that way feel free to, but I am not personally putting the characters in those sorts of situations. I do not look down upon authors who decide to write about such things, I just don't feel the need to put those ideas into my plots.

Number two: I try to stay with the ships that are mentioned in the shows and or books. So if I'm writing about Firefly, Zoe and Walsh would be married, Kaylee would still have a crush on Simon and so forth and so on.

Number three: I am terrible at responding to reviews, but if it is a multi-chapter story, I will try to thank everyone for the praise in my author notes. This does not mean that I don't like your comments, I actually love them a lot--so please review and let me know what you like/don't like/think I can make better/ect. So please, don't think of my lack of response as me being rude, I just stink at replying (just ask my cousins and friends, I hardly reply to e-mails *blushes in embarrassement*)

I think that's all I have to say other than thanks for dropping by and taking the time to peruse my humble stories. I hope that they inspire you, lift you up, make you smile or bring you to tears (in a good way). :)
