The oceans ecosystem is delicately balanced and without sharks many other creatures of the sea would parish, and the balance would be destroyed. So help the Sharks and sign this Petition at Discovery, it's easy and painless and give one big Hoop Haw for Shark week!

HI, I decided that I would start using a Pen Name, so please feel free to call me Joushou-sensei . I love the color red, sushi, my car, music and writting oh and staring into space!

You will find that my writting is all over the place, from different geners to completely unplanned chapters. I like to be inventive and a little traditional, but you will find that I like to steal the appereances and even names of characters from animes and mangas lol. I am in love with the Japanese culture and learn as much about it as I can, I plan to go there whenever I can. So naturally most of my stories have Japanese terms, names, food, music, etc. in them.

My stories, for the most part are pretty much play by ear, in other words I dont plan much about them. When Im watching shows I usually think 'wouldnt it be great it there was a character like this?' and so I make up a story with that new character. Most times my characters are a refelction of myself or my friends other times they are just toatlly random people in my head!

My decision to first start writting was a few years back when I couldnt find a yu-gi-oh fiction that I liked, none of them were very creative and in the first chapter lost all my attention! I am very influenced by a writter named Stephanie Meyer, if you dont know her shame on you! she has written the Twilight series, go now and buy it! anyways back on subject, I was very influenced by various writters, movies, Manga artsit and writters, so I tried my hand at writting a vampire story featuring the Yu-Gi-Oh characters and it turned out great and got many great reviews so from then on I have just spent my days thinking up various ideas for stories people and myself might enjoy.

I have many favorite animes and mangas and I am having a load of fun finding new ones and discovering new stories I've never heard before. The first anime I saw was Card Captor Sakura, a classic! from then on I fell in love with the "cool cartoons from Japan." after that came Gundam Wing, and so on anything that Cartoon Network was offering but I soon was introduced to Manga and now there are so many I like that the list would go on and on and on and on and oh never mind.

I also love J-music, a great source for which is Gendou's Anime Music ( google that lol) I am pretty partial to all the geners that they have from hardcore screamo to the j-pop princesses! Their music greatly influences my writing and with a certain song playing in my head the mood of a story can do a 180 lol. Although my stories can be jumpy, weird, overused or even too much I love each and everyone! But critsim is always welcome weither it be horrible or a big thumbs up I always love to hear from the people who take the time to read them! they totally make my day even if the send me a message in big bold red letters yelling at me fro somthing, atleast they took the time.

What else? Im eighteen and about five foot nine! I know im way too tall, I like messing with my hair and coloring it all different colors ( it's pale pink right now!) and cutting it funky, hmm well if you actually read all that Kudos to you!

Note: Any good uh what did she call em? Beta readers? you know those awesome people that edit your work for you?
