 Poll: Writer's block has set in, in an interesting manner - I have a bunch of half-finished stories, and am not sure which to finish first. This is where you come in. Please finish the sentence: I should finish... Vote Now! |
Author has written 63 stories for Harry Potter, Soul Calibur, Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VIII, Inuyasha, Tales of Symphonia, Immortal Rain, RahXephon, and Bleach. ~~ Back from the Japan stint - alive and well and if not full of new ideas, then certainly with one that's been haunting me for a while. Literally. Look closer? ...A good friend once described me as a "grey lady, she who sees in darkness but dreams of light" and it's fitting. Am I a shipper? Sure. I've got a taste for the unusual, the snarky, and the hopeful... but, honestly, love is love. I love slow-burn love stories, sidekicks, redheads, and banter. Good banter makes the world go 'round. Thoughts in review/e-mail/ehl-jay form are always appreciated, and it's more than likely I'll review back. And if for some flattering reason you want to archive any of this, send me a note first! I'm not scary, I swear - I just like to know where my stuff is. That said, the very cool SODA.rk.angel has begun to translate "Photo Box" into Spanish - it's over here, and has inspired me to start learning the language! Fanart-wise, WrexSoul did this awesome picture of Yuffie and Reno for my birthday - it looks like a moment out of Run. Lastly - in the words of an old Irish toast, I hope that as you slide down the balustrades of life, none of the slivers are pointing the wrong way. Cheers, | |||||||||||
