Welcome to my profile!
(I frequently update the status of my
life and my fanfiction here. ;D)

It's been a while since I last decor-
ated my profile, so:

Version 4.0...

But now watch as I rise to a whole new height,
And now my battle cry will be heard all night...

--"Shadow Games" by Trixie Reiss

I have a name, but knowing it is irrelevant because here on ff.n we have a
little something called a 'pen name.' I'm in college, all set to be a motherfuck
-ing Music Major. I graduate this spring. I have fangirl tendencies, and a hun-
ger for fanfiction that is never satisfied. I aspire to be something great in life,
regardless of whatever that turns out to be. Creative writing is a hobby of
mine that I take a professional pride in, though I believe my own abilities to
be mediocre, at best. Anime is something that an older friend of mine got me
into when I was but a wee middle schooler, but I've clung to it ever since. I
enjoy watching Death Note, Digimon, YuYu Hakusho, Trigun, Cowboy Bebop,
Burst Angel, Claymore, Serial Experiments Lain, FLCL, and (above all), Yugioh!,
Gundam:SEED, and Vampire Knight. I also seriously enjoy South Park on a very
dangerous level (something close to crack, I think; never tried crack though, so
I'm not positive on that one). I've been a proud member of ff.n since 2003, I
think, and I've been writing and reading fanfics for longer than that, so at least
I can say I've been around the block enough to know my strengths and weak-
nesses. I am a night owl by nature, so I tend to post all of my stories during the
late hours. I don't see myself giving up fanfiction any time soon. It's an addiction
I just can't seem to kick. Feel free to e-mail me if you wanna chat. I check it at
least once every day.

Random Request!: Please feel free to send me some ideas for my story You Know
You Wanna, as it desperately needs them. Otherwise, it's headed straight for the
recycle bin.

Pleasant Things (with italics!): At the top of my list, there are the two fan-
doms that currently hold my attention, and those are Yugioh! and Gundam:SEED.
I heart Yami Bakura with a viscous passion. He is the jelly to my peanut butter;
and he also tastes best when paired up with Yami Yugi. Darkshipping = OTP, kids.
I mostly ship yaoi couples in the anime I watch, but I'm up for anything orientation-
wise. In GS I ship AsuKira and YazkFllay, and I'm a sucker for the Kaname/Yuki/Zero
trio in Vampire Knight. Aside from anime, I love some relatively normal teenage things,
like rock (all types), boyfriend, and free time. My favorite cities are New York and
Baltimore ('cause they're the only two I've ever been to). I want to live in a city one
day. You'll often see city-like settings in the stories I write, because humans naturally
want what they don't have. I love grammar, spelling, sentence structure, and every-
thing about the English language. I write for fun, not attention (but reviews are nice).
I love winter - snow (specifically), and my birth month, January. Vampires have the
tendency to make my panties wet - and those are two of my favorite subjects to watch
in anime, along with guns. Reading fantasty/science-fiction books can calm me down more
than a warm cup of chai tea, but it's nice when both are present. ZOMG, raspberry tea!
(Any tea actually.) I think shortness is an asset, and Starbucks is magical. Pizza Hut is also
magical, but not as much as Starbucks (I did work at a Pizzaz Hut for a little while). I love
working, too, believe it or not (previously at Radioshack with the coolest people you'll never
meet). Night driving is one of my more recently acquired pastimes, but that's only enjoyable
if I am alone if there is music present. And MUSIC! How the hell could I forget to rant about
music?! Definitely my most favorite thing in all the world. I play flute and guitar, and I
occasionally sing. Without music, life would not be nearly as awesome.

Unpleasant Things (italics too?): This paragraph probably won't be nearly as big
as the other list, but here goes nothing... I dislike (extremely) ignorant and/or belligerent
people; the Twilight movies, for ruining a book series and a genre that I loved; the rain -
one of the most depressing phenomenons on this beautiful Earth; growing up; paying a
shit-ton of money to go to college; over-sleeping, being late; toothaches; war, hate, and
violence; LIARS of any kind; and being fake.

I am falling, I am fading, I am drowning
Help me to breathe
I am hurting, I have lost it all, I am losing
Help me to breathe

Here are some of the authors I've met on this site who have not only inspired
me to become a better writer, but have also inspired me to be a better person:

Cassandra Cassidy

Snare-chan

RobinRocks and Narroch

Phoenix From The Ashes

Thank you guys, for teaching me a little bit more about myself;
you're the heroes of the of the underground writing subculture.

Explanation/Apology:
Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be updating any of my earlier fics anymore (like
Artemis Fowl: Blue Eyes or Black Eyes of AI). Sorry... The muses for them are
long dead and gone. However, if I decide to write them over, I will update them
with new chapters. But only if. Sorry again - I know there were probably still a few
people out there who were interested in my crazy stories. Maybe someday...

Updates:

August 3, 2011
Hello all! Just posted the first of a three-part Darkshipping drabble
requested by rei-jikitsune21. It's fairly short and not beta'ed AT ALL,
so I hope she enjoys it in spite of that. She asked that I use it as an
exercise to get over writer's block on the other Darkshipping one-shot
I'm working on, so I've tried to do just that. It appears to be working...

;Shaku

August 4, 2011
Posted the second chapter of my drabble ficlett, Tangled. Feel free to
check it out if you love Darkshipping, or even if you just love YGO! :D

September 1, 2011
Sorry I haven't posted the final installment of Tangled yet guys. First, I
kinda need to write it, and that just won't happen whilst I'm completely
absorbed in real-life, real-world bullshit. It'll happen when I get some free
time, which will hopefully be soon (or I might just go bat-shit off my rocker).
We'll see. An update is forthcoming! Promise! :)
