Thanks for viewing my profile! -17, Female, in Year 12. Likes to write, draw and make music on the computer. Profile pic image by CircusTigress


Books I like: The Harry Potter series, The Da Vinci Code, The Kite Runner, 1984. I plan on reading more over the summer.
Animes I like: Steins;Gate, Soul Eater, Baccano!, Death Note. - TV Shows: Merlin, Bones, House.
Games I like: Pokemon, The Sims, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Mario Kart Wii, Wii Sports.
Artists/Bands: Pendulum, Craig David, Feint, Blue Stahli, Saosin, Linkin Park, Ed Sheeran. Bob Marley is pretty good too.

I see myself ending up with an everyday job and wasting my life doodling and writing stuff all day. :P I've always wanted to be talented for my age, but I found out that it ain' gon' happen with me, so now I am just trying to work on improving my writing and drawing skills gradually. I am open to harsh and negative comments, so don't feel the need to refrain from those. I love reviewing stories, and hope to try and improve my reviews. I am trying to work on making them more succint. I focus more on positives than on negatives. Sorry about the size of my Story Favourites section- I find too many things I like! XD

I find it silly how most positive reviews are often one line long, but if it's a bash-review or a flame, it's a massive text wall on how much of an asshole that person is and how they are terrible and this and that. So, why can people NOT spend time on a nice and helpful review, but can can spend ages typing out a massive rage/whine paragraph? I'm not sure either, but it irks me. :(

I can keep writing my stories without reviews/follows/faves etc. All I need to write is the enjoyment of writing. I don't like it when people ask rudely for reviews, and I'm very picky as to what I think is and isn't a polite way of asking. I try to reply to all reviews, long or short. I will never 'fave and run'. If I liked your chapter/ story, who knows- I just might return for more. ;) If you follow anything of mine that is labelled as a one-shot, please unfollow as they will not be updated. :)
Feel free to unfave/unfollow me/ a story at any time! I really like stories that make me feel something- a feel-good piece of fluff, a desire to slaughter an evil asshole of a villain (Necessity, MLP darkfic). I really like clever symbolism. I love it when people write characters' dialogue so well that I can 'hear' their voices in my mind as I read (Spider and Fly, Soul Eater fic.) Tragic stuff is awesome.

I mainly write poems, one-shots and drabbles. I'll keep updating a multichap fic even if it gets no attention. I suggest you do the same; don't just hold the update until you get X amount of reviews. It's a waste of valuable writing time. Write for the fun, not for the fame. Otherwise, writing will lose its fun; it'll become a chore and a competition. Even if your work doesn't get any attention, keep writing. Screw fame, and write for fun. :)

Please refrain from asking me to review/follow/fave/C2/promote your work, and please do not use my duck character. Do not let me know when you have new stories/videos/artwork/blog posts/etc. up, please - unless it's something I requested, then feel free to do so. If you have a complaint about me, my works or my reviewing, feel free to let me know about it and I'll see what I can do. :)

I'm currently writing a collaboration fic with ArceusGPG: Terra Firma,Aqua Regia- Pokémon, Rated T. Team Aqua and Magma are on a mission to retrieve the artifacts that they highly prize- the Blue and Red Orbs, respectively. When an unlikely member of Team Aqua finds the Blue Orb, her boss does not believe that someone so low of rank could achieve such a feat. She sets out on a journey to prove her worth. When a thief finds the Red Orb, he takes an entirely different path...


. If you have been upset by a critical/harsh review, please read: So, XSDFX has Made you Feel Terrible?/Someone Didn't Like Your Story? No Worries!
. If you want your reviews to stand out amongst the not-so-good one-line reviews, the Better Concrit Master Post can help. Honestly, if you add just one/two lines of detail in your reviews, it'll be so much more worth it for the receiving author! Here are my review collections, some examples of more detailed reviews.
. The Hardcore Concrit Challenge is great for Harry Potter authors who want to give and receive concrit! Look here for some more examples of good concrit.


. Rotten Strawberry My blog. It has fanfic awards, fanfic suggestions, writing prompts, collections of my reviews and other bits and pieces.
. My community for awesome stories! I hope you enjoy them as much as I did. It has quite a lot of Harry Potter and Death Note, if you like those.
. Helpful Links Links to sites that might help you with your writing.


Special thanks:
. ArceusGPG -He gives me a lot of help and concrit, and he's been a good FF buddy. He's great with our collab, and easy to co-operate with.
. Farla- For giving me my first detailed critique I received.
. RaitoLawliet- She gives me wonderfully helpful reviews, and she's always fun to chat to.
. Schermionie- She's given me lots of concrit for my concrit and, thanks to her, my reviews are clearer and nicer, I feel.
. AnneNevilleReviews- For inviting me to do the Hardcore ConCrit Challenge. I've learnt a lot about concrit there.
