Real name - Not gonna tell except that I am female! And I apologize to all about the change to my pen name but Snape had to go. I couldn't stand it anymore. My Harry Potter days are long past. I got rid of everything I owned except the video games. I rarely get rid of a video game even if I hate it. Personally, I think the Percy Jackson & the Olympian series is way better. Of course I could be biased. I do have a love of Greek mythology.

Age - I just turned 26. I am working full-time while I wait for admission to a school that specializes in the field that I wish to study. I finally figured out what I want to do w/h my life. I want to create video games. Now I just need the money & the time. sighs

Shows, Animes or Mangas I love - Beyblade, Gravitation, Inuyasha, Cowboy Bebop, Ranma 1/2, Trigun, Rurouni Kenshin, FAKE, Teen Titans, Escaflowne, Pokemon, FullMetal Alchemist, Danny Phantom, Fruits Basket, Avatar, Naruto, Bleach, Gundam Wing, Samurai 7, Battle Royale, Death Note, Prince of Tennis, Return to Labyrinth, Sailor Moon, Wolverine & the X-Men & Yu-Gi-Oh! Oh yes! I absolutely adore my Legend of Zelda/Super Smash Bros. Melee doujinshis that I bought from Japan! Now I just need to learn enough Japanese to actually read them!

Pairings that I prefer: (Favorites are underlined.)

The Legend of Zelda - Sheik/Link, Link/Zelda, Dark Link/Link (Note - I like Sheik as his own separate person & not just as Zelda in disguise. I've played OoT a # of times so I know the truth.) Link/Saria if it is wrote well & you can make Saria age in a believable manner & the new pairing of Link/Midna from TP. I am female & I thought Midna was hot in her true form. I did a Link when I saw her for the 1st time.

Super Smash Bros. - Link/Zelda, Marth/Link, Roy/Link, Link/Samus, Marth/Samus, Ike/Link, Ike/Marth (My favorite is Ike/Link but there are so few fics w/h them as a couple. At least I gave my contribution.)

Beyblade - Tala/Kai, Bryan/Rei, Max/Tyson, Rei/Mystel, Kai/Brooklyn, Kai/Rei, Garland/Brooklyn, Brooklyn/Julia, Garland/Julia, Brooklyn/Mystel, Tala/Brooklyn, Garland/Tala, Garland/Bryan & my favorite couple of all Hiroshi/Brooklyn. Yes, I am a Yaoi fangirl. It is much more interesting to write & hot to read! I don't like most of the BB girls except for Julia, Mathilda & Emily. I can't stand Hillary, Ming Ming & Mariah.

Gravitation - I absolutely adore Ryuichi Sakuma from Gravi. He is my absolute favorite character in the series even though it revolves around Yuki & Shuichi. One of my most valuable possessions is a plushie I imported from Japan of him. I LOVE RYUICHI!

Loves - Yaoi (pretty guys kissing is oh so hot!), writing & reading fanfiction, sleeping, drawing, playing video games on my Wii, Nes, SNes, GC, N64, PS1, PS2, DS, GBA, Sega Genesis & Dreamcast, listening to music of which I like alternative from the 90's, rock, classic rock & classical. Yes, I know that my taste is a little weird when it comes to music. I am currently listening to Within Temptation, ABBA, Roxette & the soundtrack from Chrono Cross. I like to watch cartoons on the weekends & anime at night. I rarely watch anything else. I read a lot more than I watch television & I rarely go to the movies or watch DVDs unless they are a series that I am interested in.

Favorite Games - Okay guys, I absolutely ADORE video games. Superman has kryptonite as his weakness; mine is video games. My favorite game of all time is The Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time. The rest come in a tie for second - Chrono Cross, Super Smash Bros Brawl, Resident Evil 4 (Leon is so HOT!), Skies of Arcadia Legends, the Metroid Prime series, Super Smash Bros. Melee, The Legend of Zelda - Majora's Mask, Chrono Trigger, Eternal Darkness, Fire Emblem - Path of Radiance, The World Ends With You, Harvest Moon, Rune Factory - Frontier & any game that deals w/h Pokemon. I love those pocket monsters & I will never tire of them. So if I don't update often, you can blame Nintendo for releasing another game that takes time away from my writing. By Kami, I LOVED TP since Link was so freakin' ADORABLE!!

Dislikes - School, my job, driving & prejudice people. If you don't like what I write, then don't read it or give a harsh review or flame. It's that simple really!

As of June 14, 2009

Happy Almost Summer!

Wow! It's been a while hasn't it? Sorry, I've been busy mainly w/h work & in my spare time video games.

Blame Nintendo everyone!

I've still busy playing w/h the Wii that I received as a gift in 2007. Super Smash Bros Brawl exceeded my expections. I do have some complaints about the game & all the clones but I loved Link's new look & the addition of Ike from Fire Emblem. I now have a new favorite pairing & I've gotten some great photos of the pair on my SD card. I usually play as Link w/h Ike, Marth & Ganondorf or Snake as my opponents. I just love taking pictures during matches. I've gotten some great shots!

Also, I've been playing Fire Emblem - Shadow Dragon & Castlevania Judgment. Many people don't seem to like the latter game but I found Simon's new look HOT! I just wish that Soma Cruz had been added to the roster. I fell for him after playing through Aria of Sorrow. Also I have spent the last three months obsessed w/h Rune Factory - Frontier. Goddess, I love that game! I've all ready spent over 100 hours on it & I'm still not finished w/h the main storyline. I have a few complaints w/h it but no game is perfect. I have played a lot in my life & I haven't found one yet.

Also sorry that I haven't reviewed. I've read some great stories lately but I've been too lazy to review. I'll try to change that, I hope.

Any plans for future fics? A definite yes if I can make up my mind on what I want to write.

Currently In Progress

Chibi Chaos! - Finally Updated! Chapter 25 was a bear. I'm glad to have gotten that off my back. I hope the rest of the fic will be a bit easier to write. Thanks to my Beta, I've gotten a bit of inspiration & I am currently working on the next chapter. I hope that I will not take as long to update it again. Well, at least keep your fingers crossed that I can keep my promise.

Forbidden Fruit - Chapter 19 is being worked on & hopefully will be the next story that I update. I've been working on it bit by bit & maybe I will finish it eventually. I need to watch the Bega arc of G-Revolution since I need to refresh my memory. It has been a while since I actually watched the series.

Need for Speed - A Zelda fic that deals w/h fast cars, street racing & the usual Zelda storyline of the Triforce & the 3 that wield it. Personally, I like this story but it is on hiatus. I had considered rewriting it since I have some better ideas now than when I started but I will probably leave it be. I am currently working on the next chapter.

Future Fics

I have 2 in progress; A multi-chapter SSBB & a Castlevania X-Over. I will not describe any of them since they are quite unique. I haven't seen any fics that are similar to them on the site. Unfortunately, they will not be posted until they are finished. I will never leave anyone hanging again.

I also have several Brawl one-shots that I am working on w/h multiple pairings. As soon as I finish them, they will be posted.

Well, this is me. If you have any ideas or have a question, e-mail or PM me. I love to hear from others.

Love ya all & keep Reading!!
