Hello, fanfiction community! Thought you might want to know a bit about the Free Skylark. Sorry if I babble too much.

Basically, I am a teenage girl with the same origin as that of Quatre Raberba Winner from Gundam Wing. Maybe it's a surprise, but some of you might have guessed from some of my stories. Arabic's my first language, followed by English, which I learned since I was five. I come from the land where the Nile meets the Mediterranean (dramatic, but true: Egypt) but I currently live in the Arabian Peninsula (so what I say about the desert is true!). Main hobbies are reading and writing.

Reading: my family says I've inherited it, but I'm fanatic when it comes to reading. I read Harry Potter (book 5 was not fair! Why Sirius?!), Animorphs (Tobias is my favourite) and other classics like Pride and Prejudice… a VERY long list.

Writing: I have a bad case of WILD imagination. Since I was young, I would invent stories about any event that happened to me. I enjoy writing original stories at school and in leisure time. As for fan fiction… that's another story.

Anime and fanfiction: mainly, I watch Arabic-dubbed anime. This is because it's the only thing I can reach. Recently I discovered sites talking about the Japanese and English- dubbed anime, as well as fan sites and all that. I was thrilled to know about fan fiction; I mean, I've been doing it for so long with out knowing that other people actually had sites for it! And so here I am under the name of Free Skylark.

Gundam Wing: I find this story gripping, and hilariously similar to this era's politics. Quatre's my favourite character. 'Goodbye, Yellow Brick Road' was my first, and I was glad to see that it was liked. I thank all those who read or reviewed, especially Weissangel24 and Silverklaw. Pacifist chronicles is a trilogy I am currently working on. I know that what I have posted of it so far seems pathetic, but once I'm done with exams I'll rewrite it. I promise it won't be a waste of time. I have many ideas, but I need to know what you want. What do you think about a sequel for GYBR? Please let me know. And… I have a few requests for all those who read this:
~You're free to do what you want of course, but if you're writing a yaoi fic including Quatre, do not mention Islam. It is irrelevant and misleading. Islam forbids all relationships outside normal marriage. And please please please: do not insult Muslims or Arabs in your fics. It's not fair when you hardly know anything about them. If you have any questions or doubts about Islam please tell me and I'll try to clarify it.
~Many of you seem to think that koi = muhib. Actually this is wrong. It can mean 'habib' or 'aziz'. I'm more than ready to help you with Arabic in any of your fics.

Hunter x hunter: I guess you liked beyond the Emerald Barrier, and I'm sorry for not writing anything else so far. But I have seen less than half of the series and I am going to need help to write another story, because I want to include the Phantom Brigade. Think about it (esp. mercury160)… please.

I'm ready to be a proof reader for anyone if they want. If you have any questions or remarks, feel free to tell me. Thank you very much.

2 September 2004,

School starts on 11 September... Grade ten! Hope I'll survive with 8 O levels... Uh... for any one out there who cares, 'At the Crossroads is undergoing some changes right now, I might remove it for a while. As for those who do NOT feel like being associated with my little peace of garbage, I've got the message, and will gladly do as you wish. To those who do want to read more of it, I promise to go on - as long as I'm still alive, that is.

My friend weissangel24 has finally finished Burnout! Yey! to her. Hope you're alright now, weiss...

To anyone who visited this page, keep a smile on, and go on living... ^_^

Free Skylark Out.
