We are two friends with a sick obsession for writing stories...
(and the obsession isn't the sick part ~-> cough )

If you really want to find out... Just read on >:)

Please check our other fan fiction on quizilla. Our site there is: www.quizilla.com/users/CrimsonGatesOfParadise/quizzes

Updates

Day-Month-Year

Writer profiles

Name: Esther (I've got more names, actually... But I don't see any reason to... ah whatever!)

My names: Esther Dorothea Maria (yeah I know, no comment /sweat drops/ I'm just glad Esther's first in that row... Wouldn't want to be called Dorothea! /shivers/)

Age: 15

Place: Somewhere on our dear planet Earth (that'll soon be mine >:) /sees two friends aiming their bazookas/ I mean ours! v.v;)

Jessica: You were high again, weren't you?

Esther: /anime fall/ Not high, just tired and... I'm almost always like this, why are you even still surprised? O.O

Jessica: /anime sweat drop/

Mental state: You really want to know? >:)

Obsessions: Writing, painting/drawing, placing at least one smart-ass comment a minute while watching a movie (hereby driving all the other watching souls insane), setting things on fire…

Good things: … … … /in deep thought/ … … … Let me ask someone…

Bad things: My selective memory… (and with selective I mean selective like: always forgetting schoolbooks, homework, appointments and other things my mind considers not important enough to remember /sighs/ I just lost my school agenda for a whole week... had to ask my dear savior in need (aka Jessica) for all my homework) and my occasional insanity…(MWAHAHAHA >:D) actually that isn’t a bad thing… People only think it is, so I only put that here because if I put it in the good things section people would know it’s true… O.O But since when do I care about peoples opinions? Just ignore my last rambling please...

Good things episode two: My occasional insanity… /insert evillish laughter again/

Favorite quote: DROP THE SCYTHE! And turn around slowly… (I don’t know who thought it up, but someday I hope someone will say this to me… /mentally deranged smile/)

Favorite movie: Mind hunters... >:) It's sooo cool. In how many bloody, disgusting and not to mention COOL ways can you kill someone? And maybe even more important... What kinds of nice stuff can you do with the body afterwards? For some whacked reason my dad had to turn it of halfway because he couldn't handle it anymore... Weird... I had only some "ew" moments and normally he's the one who can watch anything... /anime sweat drop/ Anyways... If you've got a strong stomach... Definitely watch this one! Excellent story, a psychopathic murderer... What else do you want?

Favorite music: I listen to almost all kinds of rock, like Linkin Park and Evanescence, but the absolute best is Within Temptation. :D You have to hear Angels and It's the fear and Memories and Jillian and... (goes on for another three hours)

What you do at midnight: (hehe, just had to put this one up >:D) Midnight is my best time of the day/night/whatever. It's then that I get my inspiration and start drawing or writing. I just get all these cool ideas at that time. A little side effect is that some of them can turn out quite creepy... Like An Ominous Mind or that painting I'm currently working on... The sketch was already considered creepy by my parents and friends... The painting gets even worse... Or if you're like me: better >:)

Future Plans: No idea, really... The only thing I know is that I don't want to stick in the wet, boring Netherlands for the rest of my life... Jessica, mind if I join you on your trip after high school? /failed chibi eyes/

Hate list:

People thinking they're cool (in all kinds of ways)

Boybands

Girlbands

Roy Orbinson (mom and dad have an addiction to his songs...The guy drives me nuts /sweat drops/)

Jaken... (squash him, burn him, stick him in a blender... but PLEASE! SOMEONE KILL THAT TOAD! (lets say I completely agree with Jessica on this one) WHY DID SESSHOUMARU REVIVE HIM! DAAAMN!)

Sheepish chemistry teachers and their clones. (ugh... The only thing I like about chemistry is setting things on fire... And then they try to convince me to choose that subject for my exams! I'M GOING TO THE ART ACADEMY! NO MATTER WHAT YOU PEOPLE DO! /goes berzerk/ )

/walks into room, looking as sheepishly as her chemistry teacher/

Guys... I've got to admit something... /clears throat/ I chose chemistry for my examns... /mega supersized sweat drop/

Teachers who talk like robots without noses (I've got more than one... Why oh why poeple... WHY do teachers have such stupid, annoying voices? If they're not mechanic, they're high pitched, kicked, electrocuted (that's more about the hair, but... whatever...), raspy, soft, hypnotic... etc. etc. etc. I hate that unwritten "Teachers must have freaky voices" rule)

The fact they broadcast almost no animes here... And when they decide to broadcast one, they somehow manage to pick the most crappy, dubbed and annoying ones! I've got to watch Inuyasha on the internet for Gods sake!

The fact our country seems to be totally anti manga. (Especially here in the south where no real big cities are... I've looked everywhere but couldn't get any cool manga! O.O)

Mary Sues! Do I need to explain? I don't mind them in humor fics or parodies and stuff... Then they're cewl. But come on! In romance?Especially when they manage to ruin all other character's personalities... I know I have an OC too, but I do everything to make her NOT a Mary Sue and you'll never see her in love or marrying a Yugioh character or something. Also we spent hours of writing and re-writing to keep the personalities intact in our story. (I'm talking about Future Memories now) And even then we still manage to screw up sometimes...

So... Mary Sues who're meant to be serious... are not my friends! kihi :)

Love list:

Anime! (no need to explain, I just do)

Manga! (see anime)

Drawing! (bwahahah I'm in love with a pencil :"D (somehow that sounds freaky /sweat drops/ )

Tea! (The drink... THE DRINK! I'm a tea addicted person... I'm always drinking tea... /sips tea/ )

Cats! (I like them... They're independant, arrogant and know how to be cute on the most convenient moments >:) ... Just great. :D Love that attitude (on cats...)

YAY! My sister's going to bed and I can have the game cube... BATEN KAITOS :D (love that too :P)

Favo Anime: (yeah people, it's impossible to leave this stuff out V_V;)

Yugioh: There are five reasons I watch this anime. Ryou, Bakura, the Thiefking, Marik and Yami Marik. Yugioh has some of the coolest and hottest bad guys ever. A real downside to this anime is Yami. That freaking idiot needs a whole episode to play three cards! Talking about stupid... (actually he's quite funny... He really thinks he's great, keh! Baka...) And then his English voice! /lmao/ I think he borrowed it from some retired action figure.

Inuyasha: Need explanation? You get three: Sesshoumaru, Naraku and Inuyasha. You know? I think Sesshoumaru uses that fluffy boa thingy to fly with. Once that thing started growing and multiplying and then he flew away... Well... It would solve the gravity defying problem, ne? Oh and dear fangirls... Don't call him fluffy or Sesshy /pukes/... I mean. COME ON! It's SESSHOUMARU! He's not huggable. /rolls eyes/

Yu Yu Hakusho: Haven't seen much of it yet, but... I do like it already. Though some of the characters really make me shiver... That guy, Kutabara or what's his name? ah, Kuwabara, whatever. He creeps me out... Same goes for those not-main persons.
I like Kurama and Hiei! Hiei looks like an electrocuted nun! /chuckles/ But a really cool electrocuted nun!

DN Angel: I ran into it while downloading other anime. (stupid people, they just WON'T broadcast good anime here /growls/) I saw it and was like: WHOA! It's made so well... To bad there are only 26 episodes /sob sob/ I haven't seen that much of it, but... I like Dark so far... And Daisuke's mom, lol! She's so funny! XD I'm going to look for the manga... And just found it! -cheers- I've got bookone and two and ordered book 9! I'm in heaven now!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Name: Jessica (or Johanna Carolina if you prefer my given names…It’s a bit weird… I know…I believe there are few persons whose first name is different from their given names… Well, actually in my family we’ve got names quite screwed up, but that’s a VERY long story).

Age: 15

Location: Some house in the southern part of the Netherlands… Hope you all understand that I can’t wait to get out of here? I prefer going to the US when I finished high school. And then I want to live in Moscow… Actually, there are a lot of countries where I want to live, as long as I can get away from here. Moscow’s still on the top of my list though.

Mental state: I’m whacked. But I’m still sane…in some kind of weird, screwed up way.

Good things: Recently I was feeling a bit down thanks to some sheep that calls himself a chemistry teacher. I thought I sucked at everything and Esther here cheered me up by saying all kinds of nice things about me.

So here’s what she thinks off me:

I can write nicely (my friends and my Dutch teacher agree on this one. We were writing a book in Dutch class and every student had to write one chapter. Then the best person would be picked to write the final chapter. I wasn’t chosen…a boy who did a sex scene was… My class is hopeless -_-‘. Well at least someone voted for me and my Dutch teacher said she was waiting for my name to be mentioned. It made me feel special and it definitely motivated me to keep on writing)

Esther also said that I was good at cheering people up. (No idea if it’s true actually)

I’m good at burning sheep according to her (I agree)

Sarcasm all the way for me >:)

Mwha…I agree with her :P

Bad things:

1) I tend to be late...for everything

2) I tend to “forget” my homework

3) I tend to be somewhat cruel when I don’t mean to be

I’m sticking with these three things…else I wouldn’t be done in a fortnight.

Fav quote: “We’re twenty miles of shore so if you run out of toilet paper you are shit out of luck.”

Not sure bout the number of miles, but it was said in the movie “mind hunters”. It’s the best I could come up with right now. Ah well.

Interests: Reading (in 3 books at the same time, mostly series where I start in the last part and make my way up to the first), writing, drawing every once in a while, ice-skating every winter, PS2-ing (I’m way too Final Fantasy addicted, I now want every single one -_-), blowing up desktops, laptops, printers and such (to great pleasure of my father) and music. (and soon to be X-BOX and Gamecube addicted thanks to games called Fable and Halo, and to those damn hilarious bongos XD)

Favorite List:

Favorite Foods:McDonalds, My dad’s special Nasi Goreng (If he spices it enough) and chocolate. And caramel. And Pizza XD And spare ribs...Lets just say Junk food and fast food :)

Favorite Singer/band: Within Temptation and Linkin Park are my absolute favourites. I listen to quite many different types of music though, so I like about everything. (my deep dark secret: including Donna Lewis...)

Favorite Anime/Manga: At the moment: D.N. Angel and Inuyasha >:). I like Yu-Gi-Oh and Beyblade too. (and loads of other animes!)

D.N. Angel: Supreme quality! Beautiful drawn! And It's cool >:) Go Dark! Just Hiwatari... He's suspicious /coughQUEERcough/...But I adore him anyaways. :P

Inuyasha: I just love everything. The humour, the characters, the bad-guys. Non of that “we must save the world” nonsense. The only thing I can’t stand is Jyaken >.O I’m begging you: squash that THING!

Yu-Gi-Oh ‘cause we’ve got some really good sadism going on. And lots and lots of apathy (mostly by Kaiba, Yami has a blank mind, he always has a plain expression).

Beyblade: I like the storyline. And everything’s sooooo cool…NOT! Well, maybe in the third season everything is ok, but I wouldn’t know because they didn’t air them (yet?). I started watching near the ending of the first season: Moscow, mental breakdowns and phoenixes all over tha place.

First of all: I’m Russia-addicted.

Second of all: I’m crazy about people who have psychological disorders.

And last but not least: I LOVE phoenixes! They’re my fav mythological beings.

So I came addicted to that anime too… (Now guess who my favourite character is! Mission impossible 3 I bet!)

I would have more favourites…the only problem is that in our friggin’ country there are few animes, and the ones we have are hopeless -_-‘. Fortunately I can download some, but most I can’t… So if anyone has good sites with YuYu Hakusho or something please let me know.

Angels! I have something with angels lately. I watched Dogma the other day (the movie's about two angels kicked out of heaven and in for some killing sprees), I'm addicted to D.N.Angel, I'm developping an interest in Angel Sactuary and I'm considering writing a story about an angel. My favorite show was Angel (no longer aired here) and my favorite Within Temptation song is Angels... I'm just crazy 'bout angels!

Things I can't stand:

Least Favorite Foods: Airplane food -_-’ Especially when that airline company is about to go bankrupt -_-‘. It doesn’t only taste like crap, it looks that way too is some cases -_-‘.

Least Favorite Singer/Band: Boybands/girlbands, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and all comparable junk. (even a darker secret… I own 4 CDs made by Britney “Monkeys are smarter than me” Spears... Bought in my young and naïve years... WTF was I thinking?).

Least Favorite Anime/ Manga: Shaman king and Megaman or something. Well, first the new episodes Yu-Gi-Oh came around a normal time, so I could watch them, and now this friggin no good hopeless anime have taken the times when YGO was broadcasted…

Ugh! I hate dubbers >.O Who made those people up? Screwing up animes…
And to talk about manga: THERE AREN’T ANY WHERE I LIVE >.O That REALLY sucks -_-‘ And I’m not planning to ship them over so I can pay 40 dollars per manga -_-‘

Cough...Seems they do have manga here... Not much though. Now I'm buying in German for a cheap price XD.

So…this was me for now. Probably I will add some things later on.

I hate writing bios; people get to know me without knowing me. I HATE that. I’m really not that much of an open person as it is. But hey, consider yourself privileged. Enjoy reading our stories.

Stories and plans

Yet to come:
1) Esther already started another story, but it isn't a fanfic, so we can't put it up here. Perhaps it will come up on quizilla..who knows?
( if she's even willing to translate that is)
2) A story that Esther and I wrote while we were in the bus on our way to our skitrip. And big surprise: It's a Yu-gi-oh fanfic
