Love is what you've been through with somebody. --James Thurber My heart will always belong to The Twilight Zone. Considering he died fourteen years before I was born, Rod Serling will never know the profound impact he had, not only on my life but on my writing as a whole, and that's probably for the best. Hi, my real name has three letters, and I'm twenty-three years old. My doom is my versatility-- also known as my inability to stick to one particular pairing. Almost anything goes, but I'm especially fond of crack het made semi-plausible. In canon love triangles I invariably prefer the loser. E-mail me or IM me if you'd like to (on AIM I am twosquaredthree, my gmail is palindromethree). I'm... kind of shy, to be honest... but not unapproachable or anything! Thank you to everyone who ever reviews or even reads; it's what's kept me going for over nine years here, and I appreciate it so much! A special thanks to feral who I found rather belatedly had nominated "A Subtle Kind" on the Death Note recs page on TV Tropes. It really made my day to see it listed and to know people still enjoy that story. http://www.efpfanfic.net/viewstory.php?sid=342128&i=1 --Italian translation of "White Knight," courtesy Melany! Thank you so much, it's so flattering! Upcoming: the white feather --Shameless self-pandering A/U. Raphael/Sara. FF.N has changed its page breaks for about the millionth time running and as such some of my stories look horrible with no breaks at all. If you want the original versions of my stories, please message me. I'll probably eventually try some other method of breaking up pages but for now that's the only option I know of. Find Me: P.S. My little sister's on this site-- her penname's Sweet Cari. Be nice to her or like the protective older sister I am, I'll rip your eyes out of their sockets. P.P.S. ElvenSailorGirl is my real-life friend and a good ficcer too, and has been a beta for me before, so don't forget to check her out too! Acey | |||||
