Penname:
In February of 2010, and after nearly six years of use, I decided to change my name on this site. Formerly HikaruOfArrow, I now go by Piper Julian.

My stories:
I like to write a mixture of fun and serious stories. My more serious stories tend to stick more to canon or present an alternative that could very realistically have happened. When I tackle comedy, it is almost always a very clear parody. I find some events/characters hard to take seriously at times so I tend to mess around with that idea/them. So if you are ever feeling down, my comedies might give you a laugh or two... That is really all I designed them to do xD.

Deleted fics:
I have deleted 10 old Naruto stories, one story for Avatar: the Last Airbender and one for Supernatural. So if you are looking for a story that I wrote, the reason you can't find it is because I deleted it. Unfortunately, I don't have any files of these stories either. So they are gone for good. Sorry!

My advice:
Use this site to experiment with different writing styles, techniques, as well as new ideas. This site helps us grow as authors, there are no marks here. Do not be afraid if you aren't as good as other authors, writing takes time to improve and practice makes perfect. Whilst we may get discouraged by ourselves and by others, so long as we actively try to improve and don't give up writing, it matters very little what others think of you. Try your best :D.

I'd also like to add that all authors improve with experience. It's hard to remember that we are a collective community here, made up of people who are different ages and speak different languages. There are often more simple reasons for differing writing levels, and I often find that it is age. Just because you aren't one of the greatest fanfiction writers today doesn't mean you can't be tomorrow, if that is a goal of yours.

I think FanFiction is a great outlet for a lot of ideas. I've had a lot of fun over the years reading so many great ideas and I am thrilled to have been a part of such an amazing community for over eight years now. I've seen a lot of cruel things said on this site, but I think that overall the majority of authors on this site do understand and appreciate the effort everyone puts into their works. If you do find yourself running into someone who utters hateful remarks towards you, please remember you don't have to put up with that attitude. Though I will likely never meet you, I want you to know that you are a wonderful person with wonderful ideas. We are all growing and trying to learn how to better express ourselves. We encounter problems that seem like the end of the world now, but as we learn better coping skills, we deal with them better.

If you for whatever reason find yourself struggling with depression or something a long those lines, I want you to know that you are not alone. If you find yourself unable to cope, it is my deepest wish that you reach out for help. Not for those around you, but for yourself. You deserve to be confident and secure about yourself.

I've seen a lot of profiles over the years condemning different life choices, lifestyles and differing view points. My only comment on this issue is that the world is not divisible into black and white, and that is silly to stand on a soap box (platform, so to speak) without fully comprehending the impact you are having on your readers.

Misc info:
I am not a member of any other fan sites. So this is the only place I post my work.

Updates (10/20/2012):
Hello again! It's been a while since I've updated my profile yet again. Although I am still lurking around the site, my writing contribution I expect has come to end for a considerable amount of time. Although I am still filled with ideas, I don't think I have the time nor effort left to actually write or post them. Take care.

Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. If you have any questions regarding anything in my profile or stories feel free to PM me. I very rarely check my PMs. There may be months or years that pass before you get a response. I apologize in advance for any delays.
