~ morgaine

Is a college student studying English literature.

Lives for a good story.

Is Jane, not Elizabeth.

May or may not actually be in love with the smell of freshly printed pages.

Loves to write but really does not have time to write fanfic (though somehow, she has time to read an awful lot of it).

Is still looking for a wardrobe that will take her to Narnia.

Hates the word "orbs" and all variations thereof, particularly when used as a descriptor for eyes.

Is an optimistic realist. Does that make any sense?

Tends to fangirl things obsessively, in short bursts.

Has a great fondness for well-written AU and what if? storylines.

Would always rather be at Disneyland (or, barring that, at the library).

Loves Jesus. :)

Can also be found on LJ.

Oh yes - didn't make her icon.

~ currently attempting to write

Aeternam (Harry Potter) - posted, post-DH drabble series. Just updated second drabble, no questions asked. R/Hr. Characters: Full HP cast (?).

The One Less Traveled By (Avatar: The Last Airbender) - unposted, AU one-shot, possibly two-shot. Deals with an alternate course Ursa might have taken, years before the return of the Avatar. Characters: Ursa, Zuko, Jin.

Tea and Failure (Avatar: The Last Airbender) - unposted, postseries AU one-shot. An idea of what might have happened had Zuko and Uncle stayed in Ba Sing Se, evading Azula's notice. Characters: Zuko, Iroh, Katara, Aang.

So I'm kind of a sucker for canon pairings, in general. Occasionally I will bow to the lovelieness of well-written alternate/crackships, etc., but in general I love me some canon.

Avatar: The Last Airbender - Zuko/Mai, Aang/Katara, Zuko/Katara, Sokka/Suki, with occasional leanings towards postseries Sokka/Toph and, even more occasionally, Aang/Toph. I heavily favor canon pairings, but if you can make me believe it, I'll try it.

Bleach - Ichigo/Rukia, Ishida/Orihime, and Urahara/Yoruichi.

Final Fantasy VII - Cloud/Tifa, Yuffie/Vincent, and Zack/Aeris once in a while.

Final Fantasy X/X-2 - Tidus/Yuna, Rikku/Gippal.

Final Fantasy XII - Gah. I can't decide what pairings I like in this fandom. Nothing is really canon except Ashe/Rasler and maybe Vaan/Penelo. Anyways, I've read Balthier/Fran, Older!Larsa/Penelo (a crackup and personal favorite), Balthier/Ashe, Basch/Ashe, Vaan/Penelo, and Vaan/Ashe (of which there is not enough, despite all of its wonderful potential), and still can't decide which I really like. Ah well. I enjoyed them all.

Fire Emblem - Sacred Stones - Seth/Eirika, Joshua/Natasha, Ephraim/Tana, Ephraim/L'Arachel, Franz/Amelia, Innes/L'Arachel, Innes/Vanessa, Colm/Neimi, Gerik/Tethys; Blazing Sword - Kent/Lyn, Eliwood/Lyn, Hector/Lyn, Heath/Priscilla, Erk/Serra; Path of Radiance - Ike/Lethe, Ike/Elincia.

Firefly - Simon/Kaylee and Mal/Inara.

Fruits Basket - Kyo/Tohru, Hatori/Mayuko, Ayame/Mine, Yuki/Machi, and Shigure/Akito.

Harry Potter - Ron/Hermione, Lupin/Tonks, Harry/Ginny. The idea of nextgen!Scorpius/Roseis also highly promising to me (just imagine the resulting familial hijinks.)

Legend of Zelda - Link/Zelda = love.

Naruto - Yay again for liking multiple pairings - Naruto has very little canon romance, so that gives me good reason to like multiple ships. Lee/Sakura makes me happy (there's not enough of it), and I also enjoy Shika/Tema and Naru/Hina...though Naru/Saku really is growing on me the farther the manga goes. I have occasional leanings towards Sasu/Saku, but don't really see it happening.

Nodame Cantabile - Chiaki/Nodame = my OTP. :3 Nodame Cantabile is definitely one of the best mangas I've ever read.

Lost - James/Juliet, Desmond/Penny, Charlie/Claire.

Ouran High School Host Club - Another series where I like several different pairings. However, since I generally like the canon pairings most of all, my favorite is Tamaki/Haruhi. :) They're adorable, and that definitely seems to be where Ouran is going. I do also love Kyoya/Haruhi and Hikaru/Haruhi, though. I'd love to see some more Kyoya/Haruhi canon plot development.

Star Wars & Star Wars: KOTOR- Han/Leia, Carth/Revan (lsf), and Atton/Exile (lsf).

Yu-Gi-Oh - Seto/Anzu, which got me into fandom in the first place, and Jonouchi/Mai (which is so very, very, very close to being canon).
