I have a really dorky sense of humor as you will see, and I am not a great writer... and I apologize for any grammatical errors beforehand.
Anyway, my name is Risa...

I'm 25. I have what some might consider an unhealthy addiction to fanfiction.

I'm a sucker for FF7 and FF8 fics, as well as Resident Evil and Tenchu fics. I've been writing only FF8 thus far, but I've got several other things in the works.

I also feel it's important to mention that many of the stories and authors listed in my favorites are not, in fact, my favorites. Some of them downright suck. I usually mark them for reference purposes, usually pertaining to some detail about the game or movie or some such that I want to remember. That's not to say that there aren't great things on the list, too! Such as... works by Bleuwyn and Motchi.

Things I don't like are usually as simple as complete lack of common sense. Awful grammar and spelling is a big one. I'm also getting sick of seeing Vincent of FF7 being portrayed as such a whiny bastard. I wanna see someone make him the somewhat caring, even vaguely confident and charming person he appeared to be back in the original game. DoC really made him into a little bitch. I'm done with tortured, soul-crushed Vincent. Give me cool, cunning, devious Vincent. Yeeeeaah.

UPDATES AND NEWS:

February... somethin'. I think that's the right month. So, chapter 9 is FINALLY up of WW. I fear I've lost some of my readers for taking such a long hiatus, but... hopefully I'll gain some new ones. It's been so long that I think I sort of lost my way a little as far as I was going, but not to worry. I still know pretty much what I'm gonna do with it, and I'm not giving up. Hell no. I've got a lot invested in this story. I don't think I'm going to be able to please all of you, since... well, I hate to say it, but most readers on FF.net tend to want the fluffy, dreamy romance kinda stuff. Not really what I'm doing in this story. I like my characters to be imperfect, to make colossal mistakes and misjudgments. I just like it to be more real. I know, then what the hell am I doing writing Final Fantasy fanfics?? Well, I like the characters. Even though I tweak them.

I'm really itching to start an FF7 story... Vincent/Tifa central. I've only got a scene written, and I'm thinking it'll be post-Advent Children, but I'm struggling with good plot lines... Ugh... Feel free to email suggestions! I might do somethin' with Reno, too. I don't know yet.

And please... no more reading Time Apart. It just sucks. I'd take it down, but I've been threatened with death... so... it stays. Heh.
