Seeing as I have absolutely no life and no ambition, though am far from being a nerd in front of a computer all day (I do like to go out and such) you will notice that I have MANYmanyMaNy stories on this site (mainly because I started here in seventh grade and now am a freshman at the UW). Please forgive the bull #explicatively deleted# of my Charmed, early Harry Potter, and DEFINITELY much of my ER stories. Perhaps, though, that despite my shamefully large amount of stories, there is a strangely precious shame that comes with continuing to sit here and write fanfiction for TV shows and books through all these years (most people go through a phase). However, I love my FanFic babies as much as I love my RealFiction babies (to be found at FictionPress and my other livejournal see link below). So I am proud to say that I am a Fan Fiction Writer now for ahem drum roll, please...
ALMOST SEVEN YEARS. And yes, dammit, don't mock me, I AM proud of that fact. So -P.
Well, this message has made my profile considerably longer... ON TO THE BIO AND OTHER STUFF!
I'm a nineteen-year-old dip kid who just left Egypt, where I resided for four years and is now going to college at the University of Washington. I enjoy writing all kinds of fan fictions, I have my phases... I've been writing fan fiction since seventh grade (as some of my worst stories date, lol).

SHIPS: TO CLARIFY: To be honest, I ship any which way. I'm prone to exploration so you can see many different pairings in my stories, especially Teen Titans. Also, not all my "pairings" are romantic. I think friendship is just as important. As far as Teen Titans goes, I have written romantic pairings between Raven/Robin, Beast Boy/Raven, and am currently doing a Robin/Starfire. My preference there, though I have to admit, is Raven/Robin. But if you want to see further expirimentation on all couples concerning the four mentioned, check out "Crimes of the Heart." In Harry Potter, I also read anything that's well-written-- Harry/Ginny, Harry/Hermione, even slash on rare occasion. But my real favorite in that category is Ron/Hermione, though I don't write romance for HP. As far as other categories go, I am a HUGE Carcy (Carter/Lucy) and Carby (Carter/Abby) (ER), though again any ship is good. Angel, I'm a Fresley (Fred/Wesley) AND a Frunn (Fred/Gunn), as well as a Cordy/Angel, Cordy/Doyle fan. Basically, any romance Joss writes works, if you ask me, so I love them all. Same goes for Buffy, obviously (except not a Buffy/Spike or Willow/Tara shipper). Buffy/Riley, Buffy/Angel, Xander/Cordy, Xander/Willow, Willow/Oz (especially Willow/Oz). So there. In case you were wondering, those are my ships in black and white. What I read and what I write. So enjoy.
Recently, I've started writing fan fiction for CSI: Las Vegas. Long time watcher, first time writer. Ships for them include Sandle and GSR mainly, but I think Snickers is cute too and I can keep an open mind. I don't read or write primarily for ships anyway. Recently my stories have revolved around Sara and Greg, partially because I adore them both so much.

Quotes:
"We are all worms. But I believe I am a glow-worm."-- Winston Churchill
"I know we're talking about Israel, but I just found it so funny that 65 percent of American HS seniors think Sodom and Gomorrah were a married couple."
"Obviously, you've never been to Las Vegas."-- me and a friend.
"Time can heal all wounds, but the reminder of a scar will stay." (New Found Glory, "Tell Tale Heart")
"So long, Astoria. We found a map to buried treasure and even if we come home empty handed, we’ll still have our stories, battle scars, pirate ships and wounded hearts, broken bones, and the best of friendships."– The Ataris, So Long, Astoria
"Life is only as good as the memories we make."– The Ataris, So Long, Astoria
"I wish there was something I can say to erase each and every page you’ve been through even though it’s not my place to save you. I appreciate but can’t accept this thank you note you wrote with your last breath and I won’t stand aside and listen to you give up."– The Ataris, My Reply
"Man, it takes a silly girl to lie about the dreams she has, but Lord it takes a lonely one to wish that she had never dreamt at all."– Dashboard Confessional, Carve Your Heart Out Yourself
"... Beneath that cool pseudo-academic hogwash lurked a very passionate man who knew how important it was to say 'fuck' now and then, and say it loud, too, relish its syllabic sweetness, its immigrant pride, a great American epic word really, starting at the lower lip, often the very front of the lower lip, before racing all the way to the back of the throat, where it finishes with a great blast, the concussive force of the K catching up then with the hush of the F already on its way, thus loading it with plenty of offence and edge, and certainly ambiguity. FUCK. A great by-the-bootstrap prayer or curse if you prefer, depending on how you look at it, or use it, suited perfectly for hurling at the skies or at the world, or sometimes, if said just right, for uttering with enough love and fire, the woman beside you melts insider herself, immersed in all that word-heat."-- House of Leaves, Mark Z Danielewski
"Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, 'In this world, Elwood, you must be' - she always called me Elwood - 'In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant.' Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me."-- Elwood Dowd (Jimmy Stewart)

UPCOMING CSI STORIES:
Currently Posting: So Close To Home: An ambush in the desert leaves Greg humiliated and isolated from his friends, even though they were less than half a mile away. Mature themes, please be advised.
Coming Soon: Nevada Devil: When one of their own is reported missing, Nick and Greg brave the rainy storm to try and find their lost friend. They find her car crashed into a tree, but no sign of her save for a set of footprints in the mud that inexplicably disappear into nothing. Also at the scene, quite disturbingly, they find claw marks and another set of footprints, far too sinister to be human...
Defining Death: After a strangely sensual encounter with an unusual woman, Greg begins to panic about the possibility of him being dead. Sara just tells him to stop bleeding on her interior. A macabre comedy.
The Inbetweens: When Sara and Nick respond to a crime scene in an unkempt apartment with black duct tape on the windows, Sara is far from unnerved. Until she finds a young girl, naked and locked in her own closet who claims that she doesn't exist. Sara unwittingly catches the girl's disease when she grabs her by the shoulders to calm her down. Afterwards, she has flashes of two different worlds, different lives, with different lovers, and begins to lose her own grip on reality. A supernatural Sandle Versus GSR in a whole new way.
Completed CSI Stories: Silent Night: The graveyard shift's makeshift Christmas party is cut short when Greg and Catherine are called into a bloody quadruple homicide in a suburban home. When Catherine is attacked on the scene, the suspect whispers a secret to her. Greg finds himself fighting demons he thought he had chased away years ago when the death of the daughter begins to haunt him. Sara becomes interested in a witness brought in for questioning, and subsequently is targeted by a very jealous, and very dangerous man, who was taught by his family to hate himself.
Night Bleeds: The night, with its slithering tendrils, bleeds darkness into the twilight of every daytime memory one has when one is locked away from the sun too long. Torture was not Greg's favorite pastime. But unfortunately, it was theirs. A dark fic.
Queen of Spades: Greg thought it was a bad day when he woke up in the middle of the desert covered in blood. But he knew for sure when he called work and found out he’s been missing for three days straight. A humorous mystery with a twist ending.
Not A Cloud In The Sky: An argument between Greg and Grissom piques Sara’s interest. When she confronts both of them about it, she learns Greg’s goofball act isn’t always just a display of his childlike enthusiasm, but sometimes his last defense. Sara/Greg Friendship fic. WARNING: Slight character death. Yes, only slight.
She's Dark Now: "When Ernie died, I knew he was my last chance. And they all have their little bisque dolls. It’s always just a matter of breaking the toy. The tricky part is, you have to be careful not to break the man as well. I learned that the hard way." GSR, Spoilers for Living Doll.
Salam: While investigating the brutal murder of a Muslim woman, Nick and Greg find themselves caught in a hostage situation and Sara volunteers to negotiate. Misunderstandings lead to further deaths. Dealing with racism, hate and ignorance, the team has to make sure everyone comes out of this alive. No pairings. Team friendship.
Phoenix: The man who shattered Sara is dead, but his wife has a secret concerning Greg which Catherine scrambles to keep hidden. Little does anyone know, Greg has a secret he's trying to keep hidden too, even from himself. Sequel to Collateral Damage. Sandle (smidgeon of GSR)
Collateral Damage: After being tortured and sexually assaulted, Greg and Sara find themselves growing much closer, which is not good news for Sara and Grissom's relationship. It's all a mess until a new criminal threatens to solve Sara's problem for her. Sequel to Slither, Sandle, GSR.
You Look Beautiful: The last thing a man should say to a bride on her wedding day is how he should have been her groom. Luckily, Greg Sanders knows better. GSR, One-sided Sandle. One-shot.
Fine Flowers: Catherine, Sara and Warrick find themselves acting strange after investigating an infanticide, and the child's parents' subsequent murder/suicide. Catherine donnes a miniskirt and upsets Sara by trying (and in one case succeeding) to seduce various male colleagues. Meanwhile, Greg plans a party that doesn't look like anyone wants to attend and Warrick has unusual marital problems. A ghost story. SaraCath friendship. Sandle, YoBling.
Finding Mr. Hyde: Initially, Greg's sudden disappearance worries his colleagues, until they find he was playing hooky to win big at the black jack table. As time goes on, however, and his violent behavior begins to threaten Sara's life and his own, the team discovers that Greg is an unwilling guinea pig in a horrific human experimentation gone wrong. Sandle.
Slither: Sara and Greg are kidnapped on assignment. While Grissom thinks of all the things he never said, Greg fights to protect Sara from a vicious sexual predator. Meanwhile, in a desperate effort to save and protect his friends, Nick finds himself entangled in a blackmailing plot for which he could find himself behind bars for the rape and murder of a woman he knew twelve years ago. GSR (smidgeon of Sandle).
