Author has written 18 stories for Misc. Movies, Digimon, and Spring Awakening. Profile re-vamp! The first question you have for me is probably, "What does your penname mean?" It's Italian, and it means "laughing heart." Not only does it exemplify the beauty of the Italian language, but I think it describes me well. I'm 18, and I'm a freshman at the honors college at Penn State Main. I'm planning on a major in Film-Video, minor in Italian. (Although a Japanese intro course always sounds nice!) I love to sing, act, and of course, write. I was born and raised Jewish; I treasure the culture, but I'm an atheist at heart. Existentialism is trufax. I've traveled to almost 20 different countries and don't plan on stopping. One day I'm going to work in some sort of production work -- TV, film, it doesn't matter to me! =) Anime is a big hobby for me. I am a rather big purist, so I will usually stick to the original names and terms. Unless you're really unfamiliar with them; then I'll use the dub names so we have mutual understanding. Digimon was one of my first animes, and while I walked away for a couple years, it rekindled and has only grown stronger since Savers came out. I would think that most people know me around the internet because of my borderline-obsession: Taishirou. It is my ultimate OTP, and covers most of my fanfics. The Taishirou Resource Center - Don't bother Googling for anything Taishirou; I'm so obsessed that I've found it all for you. Other pairings that I ship include: Daiken, Takari, Sorato, Joumi, one-sided Takori (Iori towards Takeru), Jurato, Ryuki, Koukou (Puffs), Tomato As for the other animes I've watched (and liked), I ship all of the canon couples. Other shows: Spring Awakening is also worth mentioning as my favorite musical EVER. I like Harry Potter. Read The Five People You Meet in Heaven - YOU WILL CRY. Same with Khaled Hosseini's books. Well, I think that's all you need to know. If you have any questions or even just want to talk, message me! =D --cuore_ridente Here is a very simple guide to my fanfics. If you're wondering why I don't just delete the stories I don't like, here's why: When my favorite Taishirou fanart site, Digital Orange Farm, shut down, I was devastated. I don't know why it shut down; all I know is that I was upset. Or let's say my favorite fanfiction writer, Aphrael, decided to take down all of her stories. I'd freak! Basically, people have favorited those stories, so if I took them down, people might be sad. So I keep them up. Read: Samson, Nirvana Awaits, Why I Love Ikebana, Magnetism, One Condition, Persistence, Out of Character, Denial Watch: Bokura no War Game - TAISHIROU-FIED! Status of current Samson chapter: So there was this one time I thought that "Samson" was like my baby. Then I scanned through it and realized that it wasn't. But considering that there are only four chapters left, I'm going to finish it. When? No idea. I'm really sorry, but I think from now-on, my fanfiction will be limited to the occasional one-shot. I will make sure I finish "Samson" at some point, but don't count on "Nirvana Awaits" (although that could probably be finished in another three or four chapters, honestly). So yeah... Again, I'm sorry, but college life > fanfiction life. | |||||||||||
