Let me start by saying that I am a Legend of Zelda/Teen Titans freak. Ok, scratch that. I'm a bit of a freak in general, with MANY well-loved "fandoms". With that said, I like to review, and I'll probably pop up all over the place, even where you least expect me... and stories based on other topics that may seem unusual for me will probably appear as well!
Look, I need all of the help I can get as I wish to become an author, so please review my stories if you end up reading them. Criticism is GREATFULLY accepted. Now... on with the profile!

EXTRA Stuff about me: I'm a HUGE bookworm and geek (but I'm sure you already gathered that). I have been known to act a bit... dare I say it... fangirly at times, but those times are a bit rare. I prefer to refer to those moments as "geeking", not "fangirling." I am also a particularly hopeless Hopeless Romantic, so all of my stories will have at least a little romance in them.
Please Read and Review! They're not THAT bad, I promise...
