ABOUT ME:
Name: Ashley
Age: 20
Birthdate: February 9, 1989
Gender: Female
Home State: Colorado, USA

What I like to do: I love writing, and hope to be a novelist someday. I love reading, and hanging out with my friends, and when I'm not doing either of those, I'm usually in class or working on homework. I'm finishing up my second year of college right now with a major in English-Literature, and might use that degree to become an editor. Who knows?

About My Writing Style:

Don't just write the characters, write for the characters. Tell their story, not yours.

None of my stories turned out how I planned, and I don't expect any of my future stories to do so either. This is because I let the characters do what they would do instead of what I want them to do just so the story will go exactly how I planned.

I observe the characters and write how they would handle a certain situation and it flows from there. This can cause my story line to change as well as the characters themselves to change gradually. The change in the characters can result in some readers thinking the characters are being OOC in some parts. So, all I can say on that subject is that nobody human stays exactly the same throughout their entire lives.

Even though they are technically anime characters, they are written as humans, and must abide to human nature. People change over time and through circumstances they go through, so a small amount of "OOC"-ness can be expected and should be accepted rationally.

I don't want to get all philosophical or anything, but to state the obvious facts of the world, events of life make way for change in the person who is affected by these events. That should be enough to explain away any type of OOC-ness in my stories. I'm saying this because I, myself, usually hate the characters to be overly OOC. I like how they are depicted in the actual anime, so they will still mostly be like that in the fics I write.

Okay, enough of my rambling. I just wanted to get this out there in case anybody was wondering. Either that, or I am extremely bored right now. Well, thanks to anyone who actually read that!

Favorite Naruto Pairings:

Sasuke/Hinata

Itachi/Hinata

Lee/Sakura

Tenten/Lee

Kankuro/Tenten

Shikamaru/Ino

Naruto/Ino

Shikamaru/Temari

Choji/Ino

Pairings I hate:
These are pairings that I really can't tolerate even a little. I won't even read a story with them as a side-pairing. Ridiculous, I know, but it really sickens me for some reason.

Neji/Tenten

Neji/Ino

Neji/Sakura

Sasuke/Sakura

Sasuke/Ino

Sasuke/Karin

Itachi/(anyone other than Hinata)

Gaara/(anyone other than Hinata)

Any yaoi/yuri pairings. It's just not my thing...

STORIES COMPLETED, IN PROGRESS, AND NOT UPLOADED YET:

If any of you want to draw pictures for any of my stories, it'd be well appreciated. I love seeing the pictures you guys draw, so if you ever get inspired, please go right ahead. Cause, you know, those pictures also inspire me to write. Hehe.

Requiem For A Dying Heart
Rated: Teen
This is my first fanfic, as well as my first SasuHina story. It's pretty Anti-OCC for the most part. I try to keep the characters as much in-character as I can without ruining the main plot. It definitely takes a lot of patience to do this. Or at least for me it does. Please check it out if you haven't already. COMPLETE

The Final Lullaby
Rated: Teen
This is the second installment to Requiem for a Dying Heart. It's basically all about the challenges Sasuke and Hinata have to overcome to truly claim their happiness. Certain members of the rookie nine are getting married, and new "members" are arriving. It may all seem like the perfect happy ending, but with marriage and true happiness comes even more chaos. This time, a more familiar villain comes in to ruin their relationship. COMPLETE

This is drawn by subakukyuu, and it's an adorably cute picture of Sasuke and a pregnant Hinata. http://subakukyuu.deviantart.com/art/The-Final-Lullaby-69182462

Length: 472 pages on Microsoft Word (Whew...)

The Ultimate Snowball Fight
Rated: Teen
This is a SasuHina and a very light-hearted one at that. It's also a one-shot and will not turn into anything else, so I apologize. As if you couldn't guess from the title, it's revolves around a snowball fight between the rookie nine and team gai. The only thing that makes this a romance is the SasuHina fluff at the end. COMPLETE

Possession
Rated: Mature
This is my first NejiHina story, so give it a chance. It's also my first AU. It's mainly a what-if story on what life would be like if Hizashi, Neji's father, was born first making Neji the heir to the Hyuga clan. Check it out if you're curious, you just might like it! COMPLETE

Here's the link to the awesome picture that mysterio1247 drew for the story "Possession". http://mysterio1274.deviantart.com/art/Neji-and-Hinata-64279516
This link will take you to another excellent drawing for this story by Aisuruitachiwakoi.

This is the link that will show you what Hinata's engagement/wedding ring looks like from the last chapter. http://www.kaijewels.com/rg141_ss.jpg

Length: 353 pages on Microsoft Word.

Divinity
Rated: Mature
This story is an ItaHina that I am currently working on. However, I don't plan on releasing it until it is finished completely. So far, I am led to believe that it will definitely be a long one. The synopsis of the story is a complete AU and will be primarily fantasy as well as obvious romance between a notorious demon and an innocent deity. Sounds confusing right now, but all will be explained and realized when it's released, which won't be until I finish Possession. IN PROGRESS

This one is amazing! (The pic, not the story :p) It's done by NarutoAngel, who has done a fantastic job in recreating the Divinity atmosphere. Here's the link, and then download it: http://hotblackangel.deviantart.com/art/Divinity-quot-Few-Years-Later-114463451

I saw this picture when I was browsing, and found it to be a perfect representation of how the girls dress in this fic. Hopefully, it'll give you all a good mental picture now. http://paintpixel.deviantart.com/art/Vestial-Ninjas-15069220

Seven Deadly Sins
Rated: Mature
This will be a SasuHina story and each chapter will be written according to the seven deadly sins as well as the holy virtues, so there will be fourteen chapters in all. It's another AU, except this one is set in modern times since the Naruto characters are in college. To put it simply, it's based around Sasuke's lust for Hinata and how they both deal with the obstacles that obviously come with that. For instance, Hinata doesn't think of Sasuke that way, and Sasuke going to try everything in his power to change that. NOT UPLOADED YET

Macabre
Rated: Mature
This will be my first GaaHina, and it will be a one-shot only. It's more along the lines of a horror/romance since there will be a lot of bloodshed and a very terrified Hinata. COMPLETE

Sanguine
Rated: Mature
This will be my first GaaHina long-chapter story. I'm attempting to make this as possible as I can, so it really makes it seem like this could happen in the actual Naruto series. Like most great romances, this one will start as an understanding between two people, which later develops to friendship and finally love. That isn't to say that there won't be trouble along the way, and this trouble is derived from the jealous Sakura and Neji. This will be the first time I'm actually making Sakura a really bad character, so hopefully it goes well. NOT UPLOADED YET

UPDATES:

(9/16/09) Okay everyone! I get that I haven't updated in almost three months, so no pathetic excuses. I'm just going to be completely straight with you, cause I respect my readers enough to do so. Here's the deal: I haven't even opened that document in two months. I seriously haven't had the time, and there is way too much going on in my life right now. I'm putting myself and Divinity on a temporary hiatus until my schedule clears enough to allow some free time. I greatly apologize, and I am so sorry to make you all wait. I do promise, though, that this story will be finished. I'm not giving up on it. It's just going to take time and patience from you guys. Sorry again, and thanks for remaining loyal!

(7/9/09) Another word update! I am now at about 7,000 words, and I still have much more to write in consideration of what I had planned for the upcoming chapter of Divinity. Most likely, it'll be a long chapter, so prepare yourselves now!

(7/4/09) Just wanted to let everyone know that I am about 4,000 words into the next chapter, so I'm hoping to be done...by the end of this month. Actually, I'm hoping for sooner, but might as well throw a proper estimation out there. Stay with me, everyone! This story has just begun! Happy Independence Day, by the way!

(6/10/09) I apologize for not updating as soon as I said I would, but my life has been pretty hectic as of late. My sister-in-law gave birth to my little niece on May 21st, and I've been staying at their house to help out. Now that they've settled in finally, I think I'll be able to get back to finishing that chapter. I just looked at it and it's about halfway done, so I'm hoping it won't be too much longer before the next update. Thanks for the patience, and I'll hopefully hear from you all soon!

If you have any questions that you definitely want answered, whether it pertains to my fics or not, please send me a private message. I don't usually have the time to reply to reviews, so if it's something you would really like an answer to, I'll make sure to answer the PM. Thank you!
