Hi everyone! Thank you for choosing to read my stories. At least, I hope you will read them. Please review if you have the time.

Stuff About me:

My name is Nicole. I am 23. My birthday is March 16. I have a boyfriend of 5 years. I have graduated from Tulsa Community College with a degree in Psychology. I've taken several writing classes, but my main focus now is psychology, but I would really like to become a published writer. I love all kinds of music, mostly rock. I love all kinds of movies, mostly comedy, romantic comedy or mystery/sci fi. I cannot stop reading. I love to play video games such as Gears of War, Kingdom hearts, and of course any poke'mon game. In short, I'm a nerd. So be my friend, cuz you're a nerd too ;). I am really easy to get to know.

I draw a lot, so please check out my Lion King art and some poke'mon art, wolves, horses at my Deviant Art site http://edward-elric32.deviantart.com/
There are hundreds of pictures of lions, including my TLK fanfiction characters. This is where all my newest art goes to, along with some older pictures.

There is some older art at Lion King Fanart Archive site at http://lionking.fanart.org/artists/edward_elric I no longer update there but there are still some good pictures.

Make sure to leave me a comment at DeviantArt and tell me you read my story, if you did I would love you forever.

I've loved Lion King for a really really long time. I am a huge fan of Disney and its works. My favorite Lion King characters are Kovu and Kiara, which are the main characters of my first fic, "The Lion King: Royal Journey" Treat me as you would want to be treated! My first story was written when i was around 15, so it's grammar is choppy, and there are many mistakes. So if you are starting out reading my first story, please just stick with it. I am as of March 2010 going through and fixing the major (grammar, spelling, syntax) mistakes in my TLK 3 story. So i hope you enjoy my stories!

I am adding this paragraph August of 2011. Several people have copied my story's name, characters, story description and story plot/layout. Please do not do this. Copying or stealing of any type is called plagiarism. Here is the exact definition of plagiarism:" the unauthorized use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the representation of them as one's own original work, as by not crediting the author" So if your story fits this description, then it is STOLEN. You will be reported after one warning from me. If you can remove the story, or change it enough, then I will not report you. If you do not contact me back, or don't change then you will be reported.
To anyone reading my story now thinking they might try copying me, all I can say is please don't. Be original, because writing your own original story would be so much better than copying mine or anyone else's. You will be so proud of it, and your fans will be real fans, they will love something you made yourself, not something you took from someone else. If you feel inspired by my story, that's great, just start thinking of your own ideas.

Below is a list of all the lions in Simba's Pride Currently. This is mostly for my benefit, but if you are having a hard time picturing what the lionesses look like (my versions of them) then here's a in depth description. Also, Check this picture out. It's all of them. http://edward-elric32.deviantart.com/gallery/24226658?offset=24#/d2i2i6z
Please do not copy my character's names, descriptions, likeness, and colors. I understand that I can't copyright a name, so if you had one or two character's names that are the same as mine, fine. But if all your characters, or most of your characters have the same names, then I consider that blatant copying, and you will be contacted by me.
