I've been writing for a good long while and now for"The Louisville Cardinal"--the main newspaper at my college. I guess I can say that I write semi-professionally now, yay!Here's a brief bio: My name's Lan Nguyen, I'm 21, a senior studying English Literature at the University of Louisville, short (somewhere above four feet), and asian (Vietnamese to be specific; NOT Chinese, Japanese, Philipino, Korean or any other asian nationality). I love sailor moon , anything "bohemian," writing (duh), reading, old movies , independant films, polka dots, t-shirt making,"bad 80s and adult contemporary music," and the company of my friends, especially Emily who introduced me to fanfiction.net and convinced me to join.

I am OBSESSED w/ "Wicked" -the book musical or anything relating to the Wicked Witch of the West (I so claim the right to be known as Elphaba), Orlando Bloom, Disney, 80s cartoons, Theatre/Broadway, Live Journal/Xanga, and Dancing With the Stars. I have a nice blog that I'm getting better at updating. Like all authors, I enjoy getting giving reviews and constructive criticism. I have yet to flame anyone (I just don't believe in doing that); if I don't like your story I'll let you know politely in a long detailed list. If I hate or extremely dislike it, I won't even bother reviewing for fear that I will flame it. And goodness knows (haha "Wicked" moment) I love to talk, so feel free to email me at the_lansama@yahoo.com. I guess that's about it for now. Hope you all enjoy my works!

"There's a small .1 that doesn't get it, they don't recognize the difference between criticism of a story and a personal attack; I really don't have time to waste on personal attacks. And so for those people I give this advice: Don't ever write anything you plan on sharing with the public at large. You're going to run across someone, somewhere, who will refuse to kiss your butt and will give you an honest opinion."

Updates:

Important Note: The idea of creating an OFU solely belongs to Miss Cam. Please don't ask me for permission to create one of your own. She's the one you send the requests to, but first make sure that your fandom doesn't already have an OFU (i.e. HARRY POTTER). You can do this by going to her website; it's listed in her profile (Camilla Sandman).

"Changed For the Better" is currently on hold. I've got some major writer's block going when it comes the story and don't have the time to sit and contemplate deeply about what's to happen next. It's becoming a serious piece, and I don't want to ruin it by rushing to finish it.

"Official Wicked Fanfiction University" is still in session. I've finally re-uploaded it all minuschapter 8. Enrollment is always open, but staff positions are filled.
