'ello there and welcome to my profile!

I am your hostess, QuicksilverWitch!

I am currently in my fourth year of college and am an English Education major! Holy schnikes, Batman! I graduate in May! @.@

My Favorite Fan Fictions are ones that make sense (relatively speaking), and are well written.

My Hobbies include graphic arts, jewelry design/creation, reading, among other things.

I loathe with the fires of a thousand suns incorrect use of grammar, in particular the incorrect use of words such as "their, there, they're," etcetera. There is no shame in admitting to needing a BETA READER!! FIND ONE BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!

I am a firm believer of if you don't like it, then don't look at/listen to/read it.

When I say that in consideration of FanFiction.net, I mean it in terms of reviews that display the composer's angry or irritated feelings toward different fandom characterizations, themes, plot lines,etc., as well as horrid grammar/spelling mistakes and so on and so forth. Yes, its nice to try new fan fictions and all that jazz, but if you find you're not hooked by at least the first or second chapter, that should be a sign right there.

I am of the opinion that--barring general, polite, encouragement or polite discourse/discussion--comments that contain no constructive criticism whatsoever are rather pointless if their only purpose is to bash/verbally abuse the writer.

I'm not saying its not okay to disagree, criticize, or point out that the author is wrong in any way, whether it be a misspelled name, theft, or something that is offensive to the nth degree (that's what the REPORT ABUSE option at the bottom of every fan fiction is for), but there's no reason for hazing.

This goes without saying for character bashing as well. Let us take, for example, the infamous Team 7 of Naruto. There are many people who are of the opinion that the character Haruno Sakura is a bitch and must die (cue foaming at the mouth), while the yaoi pairing of SasuNaru/NaruSasu shall reign supreme, (everyone bow down, etc. etc., blah blah blah). The yaoi can be cute on occasion, (not to mention some of the fan art is just too cute or pwnsome for words), but come on with the character bashing! She's fictional for crying out loud!

Seriously! It's one thing if a character does something you don't like (another example: some fans bash Albus Dumbledore for being the reason Harry was left at the harsh/abusive hands of the Dursleys), but here's the rub: if you hate them that much, then why are you dwelling on it?

Dislike character A? Move on, don't read the fan fictions' concerning them! And the fan art! Is it really necessary to show the character you loathe so much getting stabbed repeatedly, being harshly reprimanded/dissed by the character you love, or cast as a crack whore/slut when they barely even have a sexual relationship, not to mention are barely out of puberty?

I have considered converting to the wonderful religion of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, as I am 93.7 percent positive it could cure the majority of life's problems.

I have noticed that the more fan fictions in a category, the more the original work often times rates a 4 out of 10 on the absolutely fabulous scale. (with 1 = the worst, 10= the best)

Author's Corner

July 31, 2011

It's been a while, and life has had its ups and downs. On one hand, I have successfully completed college and have been kicked out into the real world. What ho, Watson! The game is afoot!

As of now, I am currently looking for work and revising my in-progress stories; expect updates soon! *fingers crossed*

Happy reading to all,

Sincerely,

QW

And now, a few parting words from Captain Janeway and Lieutenant Paris from Star Trek: Voyager!

"Let me get this straight: trans-dimensional aliens have mistaken your Captain Proton simulation for reality."
"Yes ma'am."
"And now an armed conflict has broken out between these aliens, and Chaotica's holographic army."
"Yes ma'am. His army of evil."

- Janeway and Paris

"The Destructo Beam on my rocket ship can disable the death ray, but only if someone gets inside the Fortress of Doom and can shut down the lightning shield."

- Paris
