Author has written 7 stories for Teen Titans, Fairy Tales, Mary Poppins, CSI, and Inuyasha. Ok...I'm no longer a new writer and am currently in the middle of three fanfics which anyone is welcome to read and review! K...stuff about me. Name-Laura (that's all you're getting and it's kind of obvious) I have a deviantArt account and you can view my work here! Be warned, it is mostly Disney fanart although I have been tempted to do artwork for some fantastic fanfics out there. So watch out! I may approach some of you soon. And any fellow artists are more than welcome to do the same for my own fanfics but please ask me first. Some of my fanfics have been reposted there, plus a few original pieces of my own so feel free to comment or message. TO ALL FANS OF NUMB3RS AND BONES FANFICTION! I'm hoping one of you fabulous people can give me a hand. I've been looking for a particular fic for a while and unfortunately cannot remember much of the plotline. One thing I can remember is Don trying to decipher Charlie's password from a document he has. As typical of Charlie, the document has spelling mistakes. But Don figures out that these mistakes are deliberate, especially since Charlie specifically states he used spellcheck. These mistakes, when re-arranged, spell out the password. The frustrating thing is I remember enjoying this fic and I cannot for the life of me remember anything else about it! If someone recognises this plot point and can direct me to the fic itself I would be VERY grateful. The 'Bones' fic was about Brennan finding a lump and being treated for cancer while the doctors figured out if it was malignant or not. I think it was on the back of her neck as I seem to recall something about her hair hiding it. Anyway, Angela is there to help and Booth comes into it later. I have tried every possible combination into the search engine and failed. The only reason I'm not typing this into the forums or even among the fics themselves is because I think it's just rude to do so. And I'm searching the forums anyway. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE! Quote- Now faith is knowing what we hope for and being certain of what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1 This is also something I've discovered- 'Everyone thinks forgiveness is such a wonderful thing, until they have something to forgive' C.S Lewis. Sorry for ranting, I just like that quote! In fact, I reckon quotes are wonderful but I also have the urge to share my favourite fanfic pairings just because. Plus I got the idea into my head and it won't leave. I will add that just because I like these pairings, it doesn't mean I won't read a well written story without them. Plus, this is just my opinion. You don't have to agree. Books Yeah. I am a TOTAL bookworm. I will read anything and I'm usually happy with the pairings the authors provide. However, it's the Tamora Pierce fanfics that I'm completely addicted to. So...yeah. Pairings! Alanna/George-Do NOT...I repeat, do NOT mess with this pairing!! It's stable, it's sweet and I love George to bits. But if you feel you must create a A/J pairing...can I have George? (looks pleading) Daine/Numair-My absolutely favourite pairing EVER!! Ok so I will admit to being iffy about it at first (but small insignificant amounts) but considering the whole series was dedicated to them being teacher&pupil and friends, I was also delighted with their relationship. Besides...how adorable was their reunion in 'Emperor's Mage'? Kel/Dom OR Kel/Neal- I will admit to being flexible here for one reason only. When I was re-reading the 'Protector of the Small' series I was struck with how similar the cousins are. I will admit that the idea of Neal getting hit across the head with Yuki's fan has a lot of appeal, but so does the idea of two friends falling in love. Plus, I love Dom. 'Nuff said! Aly/Nawat- A spy falling in love with a crow. If I was writing it, I would be laughed at. But Tamora Pierce's writing just makes it work. Besides, Nawat's innocence as a human is so adorable against Aly's 'I-know-everything' attitude. Beka/Rosto- Tamora Pierce's latest character has me hooked! Any connection with Geroge is somethng I'm bound to love and Rosto is utterly hilarious (especially when you call his hair white). The pair of them interact brilliantly and I hope I am not forced to swallow my words by the time the series ends. As for the 'Circle' series I can see where people are coming from by pairing Briar off with any of the three girls. But I have the urge to point out THEY ARE FOSTER SIBLINGS!! They are practically family. It's kinna wierd. Ok...rant over. Harry/Ginny- I admit to originally being part of the Hermione/Harry ship but since reading 'Half Blood Prince' I've been converted! Definitely adorable! You can thank DeviantArt for my conversion as well. Many adorable couple pictures! TV programmes Ok...I do watch quite a bit of television...enough to become obsessive about certain pairings! Doctor/Rose (Doctor Who)- Ok...I don't care if Rose is in an alternative universe or that we've seen two different Doctors. THEY ARE MEANT TO BE!! Christopher Eccleston's Doctor was hilarious, and starred in my favourite episodes 'The Empty Child' and 'The Doctor Dances' (who can forget that final dance scene?) As for David Tennant, hilarious and gorgeous! Need I say more? The Doctor clone was an interesting fanfic solution...but he's still not THE Doctor. Is he? Hawkeye/Margaret (MASH)- An unexplored but fantastic pairing that I love to read about! I will gladly admit to being a MASH fan and I watch repeatedly. Yay Alan Alda!! Gil Grissom/Sara Sidle (CSI)- I am a GSR fan and I am PROUD of it! I think they interact well, they understand each other. Grissom is the one Sara turns to for help and he is always there for her. The episode 'Committed' said it all. Besides, I love the Bugman!! Teen Titans- Considering I'm writing a few fanfics and keeping it a mystery...I won't give it away yet ;-) Danny/Sam (Danny Phantom)- Do I REALLY need to justify myself here? (And Phantom Planet just confirmed it for me...SCORE!) Ingrid Third/Cornelius Fillmore (Fillmore)- WHY WHY WHY were there so few episodes of this show? It's interesting, it's clever and it makes me pine for more development between the characters. DG/Cain (Tin Man)- I know people hate ship wars but this couple is another one of those that had potential. The expression on Cain's face when she hugged him after discovering he was alive was priceless! I think it's sweet without being overly sappy or branching into a father/daughter relationship and it could work. But maybe it was the hat that did it? Anime Ok I admit to be a SLIGHT anime freak. But that is because I'm only just begining and I randomly come across things. Most of what I've seen are English dubs so please don't get annoyed at me! Sakura/Syaoran (Cardcaptor Sakura)- After watching the Japanese version of this I got really annoyed with how much editing there had been done to the English one! All that imagining...I wasn't just imagining it and no one told me!! Plus they are SO cute together (which means Tsubasa makes me very happy cos I get to see more of them) Inuyasha/Kagome (Inuyasha)- I have many MANY people to blame for this one!! Mostly people on youtube who created some amazing music videos and enough episodes to make me very VERY interested. Right...seriously, they love to hate each other and when Inuyasha smiles or does something nice I squeal for joy! Having said that, I do not hate Kikyo! I just feel that relationship had it's moment and Inuyasha needs to let go. Sango/Miroku (Inuyasha)- A demon slayer and a lecherous monk? How does that work? And yet somehow it does, with many touching moments (only to be ruined by Miroku's wandering hands and several slaps up the face later). And I can't help but love it...especially when Miroku knows when to stop. Rin/Sesshomaru (Inuyasha)- Ok, to be honest I'm not exactly sure HOW I feel about this pairing. Romantic wise, I'm a little bit iffy. Not because of the age difference (for goodness sake, how old is Inuyasha?) but because Rin is...what 8 or so...when we first meet her and therefore she grew up with him. So far, my favourite ones involving these two revolves around a kind of father/daughter relationship. And it's so sweet to watch. The guy has gone through hell and high water for that little girl and he would do anything for her! And she in turn looks up to him a lot and even takes on some of his mannerisms. Don't believe me? Watch his reaction when faced with the possibility of losing her. The fact he reacts at all is a true testament of the depth of feeling he has for this child. Ahiru/Fakir (Princess Tutu)- A beautiful and highly underappreciated anime. I know the title sounds bizarre but it is really very VERY good. True, the first episode was a little strange but if you give it a chance you will not regret it! Ok...the couple here balance each other out very well. While originally hating each other, as the show goes on and revelations are made you can see a kind of chemistry between them. Fakir gives Ahiru confidence in herself and Ahiru helps Fakir move beyond the role he has been given in the story. I swear...I am a TOTAL Fakir fangirl! Sora/Ken OR Sora/Leon (Kaleido Star)- Shock! Horror! The hopeless romantic who practically LIVES off fluff can't decide a pairing!! There is a reason why I cannot decide between these two. The beauty of this particular anime is that it focused on Sora and her struggles to achieve her dreams. There is no obvious romantic relationship. Ken believed in her from the start and has been a big factor throughout everything. Plus he is an ABSOLUTE sweetheart with a huge crush on her and sees her achievements as his dream. Leon did change because of her (from total prat I wanted to slap to relatively nice guy) and was finally able to fulfil his promise to his dead sister. Plus, when he finally accepted Sora as his partner onstage he finally stopped trying to hog the limelight and actually ENJOYED performing. Personally, I'm leaning a little bit more towards Sora and Leon because I felt there was great potential for the two of them (watch their Swan Lake and you'll understand). I don't think Leon got a chance to really develop and it would have been nice to see more of the 'Swan Lake' Leon rather than the 'Dracula' one. Tohru/Kyo (Fruits Basket)- She's sweet, open and sensitive. He's closed, violent and has a tendency to speak first and think later. But together, they work! She accepts him unconditionally and allows his nicer side, which is evident from the start, to come forward. Plus...Kyo blushing is right up there with Syaoran and Fakir! Absolutely adorable and squee worthy! Films Sophie/Howl (Howl's Moving Castle)- I accidently came across an advert for this film but I'm in love with it. Don't mess with the pairing! Prince Justin is NOT a part of the picture. So what if he was a scarecrow and Sophie broke the spell? Howl is so much better!! Plus I now have the urge to read the book if I can locate it somewhere! Belle/Beast (Beauty and the Beast)- Belle with Gaston? Are you FLIPPING KIDDING? I'm sorry but to me that pairing just completely ignores what the film tried to establish. Babette/Lumiere (Beauty and the Beast) - A feather duster and a candelabra. Both total flirts and VERY aware of their own charm and good looks. But I love them because they are just so perfect for each other. Elphaba/Fiyero (Wicked)- Ok, so this isn't a film and I'm not talking about the book. So exactly where else would I put this? But from what I've seen, read and heard this is like any Fairy tale. The misunderstood girl and the popular, good looking (brainless) prince. True, the pair of them go through different things to finally get together...but the sheer fact that he learns to look beyond appearences and she learns that she CAN be loved for herself never ceases to make me smile and makes me think that there's hope in the world. I don't normally look at many film pairings simply because I love how they turn out on their own. Plus they aren't usually messed with so why complain? I am very aware that I seem to be going with the standard pairings...but that just means that there is so much more options for me to read out there! | |||||||||
