Real Name: Morgan (most call me "Morgie", or even "Da' Morgie", haha.)
Age: 21
Gender: That's a much more complex question than you'd think. Physically, I'm female, but otherwise...
Where my alias is from: Miyamashi is the first name of the main character, Miyamashi Ikuya (or Ikuya Miyamashi, depending on where you hail from) for the video game I'm developing and have been for years. The name, itself, is a condensed version of the name of the infamous swordsman Miyamoto Musashi. Yes, I'm aware that it's a rather pathetically otaku name to have, but I took the alias at around the age of 12 (and for a much more embarrassingly fangirly reason that I'm not gonna go into here), and grew rather attached to it. No worries, though, the character Miyamashi is actually of part-Japanese descent (thus why I normally list her name in typical western fashion, with the family name second, since she didn't actually grow up in Japan), so it's not completely unwarranted.
My Art: http://www.miyamashi.deviantart.com I'm currently majoring in Animation in college, and though most of what I've drawn over the years has been self-taught, I'm finally taking actual art classes, which are doing me a lot of good. I have both fanart and original art, as well as some of the writing you'll see here, and some totally random miscellaneous things.
Outlook on Fanfiction: There are few things more exciting to read than a good fanfic: Take characters you love from a story you never wanted to end, and continue that story. Brilliant. However, there's also nothing worse than a badly-written fic. Also, though original characters are often needed to flesh out a story (and can often make a story better for their being there), I, as a reader as well as an author, come to your fanfiction to read about the characters I know and love...not some random girl or guy you threw in there to live out your fantasies with those characters. Mary-Sues and Gary-Stus are terrible, terrible things. Original characters should help the "preset" characters along, not outshine them.
On Pairing Types: Though most of what you see in my gallery is yaoi, it's more because there are very few female characters in my favorite fandoms that I feel connected enough to write about than it is because of preference. I enjoy yaoi, yes, but I also love het and yuri. However, when I have a pairing that I'm attached to, don't mess with it. I'm very adamant about my couplings.
What couplings? Currently, Death Note's Mello and Matt have my heart. However, I'm also very, very attached to Reno and Rufus from Final Fantasy VII, and (though I haven't written them in a while), Raijin and Fujin from Final Fantasy VIII. Terra and Edgar from FF6 are love, as well, and I'm a fan of the Hitachiin twins from Ouran, and have grown to love the idea of the rather tragic triangle between Haruhi, Tamaki, and Kyouya (where Tamaki and Haruhi are together, and Kyouya loves Tamaki...often unrequited). (I have many, many others, but I won't list them here, for space's sake.)
Mess with these couplings, especially, and, chances are, I WILL NOT read it. I'm sorry. It makes me almost sick, like watching people I care about cheat on their significant others. The couplings I especially can't stand are Mello/Near (It MAKES NO SENSE. I've seen it done well with Near having unrequited feelings for Mello...but if Mello reciprocates in any manner...just no. He hates him. It's not sexual tension, people. It's hatred.)
, Rufus/Tseng (Tseng's straight. He liked Aeris, and he was going to date Elena. End of story.), Reno/Rude (Rude is ALSO straight. He liked Tifa.), and Seifer/Fujin (I can't stand Seifer...just because he's more Bishounen than Raijin does not make him a better match for Fujin.)
I used to be a really big Sirius/Remus fan, before canon put Remus with Tonks. Though I still have a bit of a soft-spot for the coupling, that tends to fight a lot with my obligation as a fanfic author (and I feel that this is ALL fic authors' obligation) to at least make an honest attempt to honor the intentions of the original creator. Though there are ways certain couples can be done and still make sense with canon, for the most part I can't stand pairings that canon or the demeanors of the characters blatantly disprove.
I would say more, but this is long enough.
Love, and digital hugs. Signing out.
