Lordynges, quod he, now herkneth for the beste,
But taak it nought, I prey yow, in desdeyn.
This is the poynt, to speken short and pleyn,
That ech of yow, to shorte with oure weye,
In this viage shal telle tales tweye,
To Caunterburyward I mene it so,
And homward he shal tellen othere two,
Of aventures that whilom han bifalle.
And which of yow that bereth hym best of alle-
That is to seyn, that telleth in this caas
Tales of best sentence and moost solaas-
Shal have a soper at oure aller cost,
Heere in this place, sittynge by this post,
Whan that we come agayn fro Caunterbury.
And for to make yow the moore mury
I wol my-selven goodly with yow ryde
Right at myn owene cost, and be youre gyde.
And who so wole my juggement withseye
Shal paye al that we spenden by the weye.
And if ye vouchesauf that it be so,
Tel me anon, withouten wordes mo,
And I wol erly shape me therfore.
This thyng was graunted, and oure othes swore

- The Canterbury Tales, by Geoffrey Chaucer

STUFF ABOUT ME:

(Note: I used to go by the name "Emerald Eyes" before 20 other people on ff.net started using that name.)

BIRTHDAY:February 15, 1984.

OCCUPATION: former college student, lives in Pittsburgh, (useless) degree in Creative Writing..

REAL NAME: Carol Ann

LIKES: Science Fiction.

HATES: Mary Sue, Rabid Slash, teenybopper Otakus, Bible Thumpers, wanna-bees, elitists, and potatoes. Any questions?

DOMINANT FANDOMS: Yeah, I read a lot of fics in a lot of different fandoms. If I were to limit myself to my "absolute favorites," they would be Stargate and Transformers. I float in and out of everything else.

FAVORITE (serious) PAIRINGS: Vergil/Lady (DMC), Reno/Elena (FF7), Royai (FMA), Arcee/Springer (TF) ...and, of course, Xelloss/Filia (Slayers).

FAVORITE (not-so-serious) PAIRING: Snake/box! Solid Snake loves his cardboard box. But cardboard box does not love him back. :( Oh, why is love so unrequited?

HATED PAIRINGS: Yuffentine (Vincent/Yuffie -FF7) and, of course, Reno/Yuffie. :) (No, I don't hate Yuffie.). Superior officer/arrogant scientist-- i.e. Sheppard/McKay from SGA, Roy/Ed from FMA, or Megatron/Starscream from TF. Optimus/Bumblebee from TF-- there's something slightly pedophilia-like about that one. shutter (Don't worry. I won't hate you if you write a pairing I don't like. That's immature.)

FAVORITE FIC(S) OF THE MOMENT: "Screaming Blue Murder" by Keaalu

THOUGHTS ON YAOI: Yes, I like yaoi. I don't write it, but I don't mind it either. I do, however, have a problem with rabid yaoi. It might be hard for some of you to accept, but not every hot guy is gay.

WANT MORE? Check out the COLLECTIVE FICTION I wrote with my roommate, Lyo. It hasn't been updated in vorns, and I think we both forget the email and password we used. O_o; Ooops.

UPDATES:

WHAT'S NEW, AND WHAT'S UP:

Cadere will still be worked on. However, it is on temporary hiatus.

I have an idea for a Transformers fic floating around in my head. I've been slowly writing it, mostly on Google Docs at work late at night. I've codenamed the project Deuce. Surprisingly enough, I've been carrying a notebook with me, and I've been writing down a fairly detailed plot outline for this story, so there's a real possibility that I could see this little project all the way to completion. I'm not gonna start posting chapters until I've worked the plot out, though. I don't need another brick wall in my way, like what happened in TR.

By the way, TR has been slagged. (See Fic Progress below)

I also need to find a cure for laziness, which I don't think exists.

RANDOM IDEAS: Oh, I have plenty of random story ideas. However, most of them, at the moment, would fail miserably.

FIC PROGRESS:

TRANSCENDING REALITY: I am not updating/finishing the original story. Ever. It's beyond salvaging. At the moment, the chances of a rewrite are zilch. And the few considerations I've given to a rewrite have been so drastically different from the original TR that I wouldn't even consider it the same story anymore. But who knows? Maybe in the future.

CADERE: On Hiatus. For now. I totally plan on coming back to this, though. The updates may be few and far between, but they'll still be there. Eventually.
