I am a huge fan of fan fiction. I stumbled onto FanFiction.net in late May of this year and since then have read several hundred fics in various categories (I am a huge, and very fast, reader). Some were great, some were good, some I try not to remember as the brain tends to block out tramatic experiences. Now, I will try my hand at this, and I expect (hope!) that some people will find my pieces enjoyable, creative, and in character with the original sources. I also expect some people will consider my works tramatic experiences, or else get mild cavities (I'm sorry, in advance, to those who love angst and death fics. I may put characters through horrible tramas, but in the end, the characters will triumph and get together. Yes, I am a fluff-lover!)and I will see the reviews stating such in one of a number of ways: a) as a learing experience and possible way to improve my writing, b) the result of strange, disturbed, or psychotic minds, c) the bitter ramblings of a failed fanfic writer, d) the results of college students who have been studying for six days straight, living off caffeine tablets and emerging only at 03:16 every morning to forage and take a washroom break, or e) a combination of some or all of the above. Whatever the source, I will read and absorb or laugh and ignore reviews and feedback.

I LOVE ANIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just thought I should get that out of the way. I am also a tremdous bookworm, and I enjoy a fairly eclectic variety of TV shows and movies, all of which will be reflected in my fics.
