It's pronounced lahn suh and it is the Mandarin word for my favorite color.
Age: Depends on my mood.
Location: At my desk, writing. Where did you expect me to be?
Hobbies: Plotting to take over the world with my evil genius Sukiovic.
Favorite Animes: Rurouni Kenshin (Red hair. You gotta love red hair!) and Naruto. Hyuuga Hinata is my absolute favorite Naruto character with Neji and Gaara (again red hair, notice a trend?) tied for second and a host of others coming in third. There are a spattering of other Animes I like but these two are my favorites.
Favorite Author: Robin McKinley. I have yet to read one of her books and not like it. I can't say that for anyone else.
Favorite Poet: Sara Teasdale. Her style is similar to mine.

May 20, 2008- I'm still working on my stories, just not making much progress. In the mean time, I made my first attempt at fanart. Basically I drew the Chibi Gaara my friend gave me. Check it out if you want.

April 5, 2008- I'm sorry I still don't have anything ready to post and I'm sure some of you are disapointed. I've just recently noticed that my older posted documents no longer have scene breaks because of the upgrades from FF so I'm just doing some light editing and putting in page breaks while I wait for my creativity to kick back in. Creative thoughts sent my way are greatly welcome.
December 17, 2007- I broke the 400 page mark on my current fanfiction project and am crawling, -er, zipping down the home stretch. I still don't have an ETA since my creative spurts are few and far between lately and I'm suppose to be working on my novel too but that is still in the plotting stage which is so not fun when your head hurts. Well back to the grindstone.
November 9, 2007- I know everyone is eagerly awaiting my next story. I've been working hard trying to get it finished and have just a few more chapters to pound out. Due to an unexpected and prolonged family emergency, I haven't had much time, energy, or desire to write, but I am pecking away at it. No ETA as of yet but stay tuned for further notices.
Lanse on Writing:
--Write what you know. Use an emotion or an experience of your own and give it to the character.
"We read fine things, but never feel them to the full until we have gone the same steps as the author." -John Keats
--Let the character BE him or herself. Don't force them to meet your expectations and they will write the story for you. If they refuse to cooperate, you need either a new plot or perhaps a different set of characters. Often I start a story with one character in mind and find another better suited for it.
"I am not at all the sort of person you and I took me for." -Jane Carlyle
--The average reader has an attention span of 30 seconds. So make every word count.
"Words are like leaves; and where they most abound, much fruit of sense beneath is rarely found." -Alexander Pope
Lanse on men:
--"All the sensitive ones get eaten." -Ice Age
--"Women deprived of the company of men pine, men deprived of the company of women become stupid." -Anton Chekhov
--"The best way to hold a man is in your arms." -Mae West
Lanse on women:
--"A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle." -Gloria Steinem
-- "The female of the species is more deadly than the male." -Rudyard Kipling
--"Women never have young minds. They are born three thousand years old." -Shelagh Delaney
Lanse on life:
--"Oro?" -Himura Kenshin
--"This is the captain. We have a... little problem with our engine sequence, so we might experience some slight turbulence and then... explode." -Malcolm Reynolds, Firefly
Anyway, here are the picture links (some of them are of my orignial character Ari who seems to have quite a following) for my stories. I also send out a big hug to my adorable fans and chibi shy shadow readers for their support. It would be relatively pointless for me to post these stories without you guys threatening me with kitchen utensils.
