Hello and welcome to this tiny corner of the internets that is mine.

I go by this screenname on most websites, so if you see me, holler/friend request/leave a message/whatever. I'm always happy to see my fanfiction friends elsewhere!

As of the time I'm writing this, I'm a freshman at Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana. I've lived all of my life before this in North Carolina...so yay for getting out! I have no idea what I'm going to be majoring in. Probably math. Possibly English. It changes daily.

My career plans include being a hobo or a lottery winner. Or both.

In continuing the listing of random facts about me, my computer is a Sony Vaio laptop which I love beyond reason. It is my baby.

I do enjoy writing, but I am a rather cranky and tempermental writer- ideas either come barging in like a herd of wild horses demanding to be written or they don't show up at all. This is why you will go months without an update from me...and is also part of the reason why I don't do continuous stories anymore. The other part is that I'm very bad at coming up with endings to anything. I don't know why.

Thus I work on my collections. Most of my pieces are not short enough to be drabbles but not long enough to be one-shots...they're sort of inbetween. I'm not very good at longer pieces.

I specialize in angst. This probably says horrible things about me but I like torturing my favorite characters. However, I will throw in the occasional bit of fluff just to make everyone happy.

Most of what I write is inspired by something I've felt in my own life...it's often exaggerated and I change many of the details, but the core of it is the same. I hope that this makes my writing realistic. I'm not sure if it does...I'm a very bad judge of my own writing.

In my spare time, I read (I read everything. Everything!!), play video games, draw, play GIMP (a Photoshop-like program, for those of you uninitiated in the ways of amazing freeware), bother my friends, stalk people on Facebook, and listen to music. Actually, I listen to music all the time. Pandora radio is a godsend. I love it. Love love love love love it.

My website listed is a blog I've started since being here at college. I had a dry erase board on my door just for kicks, and wanted to do something with it, as it remained rather boring and empty most of the time. So I started writing daily haikus on there. They're nothing great, and generally are about nothing in particular, but they're amusing and take me two minutes to write, and I figured the internet would be made better by their presence.

For a topic change...I'm not as into anime or video games as I used to be- they're expensive and time-consuming habits, and I do love blowing my money on other things- such as clothes, music, and Bath and Body Works. (ahhh, Warm Vanilla Sugar, how I love thee.) There are still some fandoms I consider myself a member of, namely FullMetal Alchemist and Fire Emblem. (Gee, who woulda guessed considering that's all I've written for.)

Pairings I heart include:
Seth/Eirika (Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones)
Geoffrey/Elincia (Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn)
Roy/Riza (FMA)
Zechs/Noin (Gundam Wing)
Alex/Sophia (Last Exile)

I'm not a fan of shonen-ai, shoujo-ai, yaoi, slash, yuri, or any of that stuff.

As I've said before, I don't write continuous stories anymore, so anything other than my three main drabble collections (Realization, Random Royai, and Blue Roses) will not be updated, most likely ever.

Random Royai was the first really successful thing I'd ever written, so I'm very fond of it. Although I'm not that big of an FMA fan anymore (yeah, I have a wallscroll, a clearfile, three figures, a charm, a pin, and some other stuff. I'm not a big fan, really. Really.) I still like the dynamic between Roy and Riza. Roy's dark personality allows me to explore some more morbid elements of humans than I can get into in my other ships.

Realization was my first venture into the Fire Emblem fandom, and it's just a bundle of fun. I loved both Seth and Eirika after my first playthrough of Sacred Stones, and nearly bawled my head off after their A support conversation. I refuse to believe that either Seth or Eirika could be paired with anyone except each other. It's just not happening. I'm particularly fond of S/E AU fics, although I haven't played too much with AU.

Blue Roses takes its name from the language of flowers- a blue rose symbolizes a love that is cherished and nurtured, but also a love that is hopeless and will never be requited or fulfilled. As I am an angst magnet, I thought this an entirely perfect title for a Geoffrey/Elincia collection. Their relationship is rather similar to Seth and Eirika's- but I think it's a little less hopeful and plus there's always that matter of Ike. (Never mind that Ike's run off after Radiant Dawn- I choose to ignore this.) Also, Elincia is quite a bit weaker, in terms of her character, than Eirika is. I actually quite like Elincia, although I feel bad for her. Eirika was raised as a princess, but poor Elincia just kind of got thrown into the whole thing. Plus she's got all those awful courtiers to deal with.

That's about all I can think to put up here for the moment...

Just remember, reviews are always loved and appreciated, even if you can't come up with anything to say other than "This is good! I like it!". If you want me to work on something, or feel something needs to be changed, or I've made a mistake, please let me know. I have everything read by my amazing beta, wolfraven80, so most of my work should be decently typo free. Oh, and as a final note, please don't read my old fanfictions. They're awful. Please. I just don't want to delete them because I don't have them saved anywhere else. (I sort of have an amazing talent for killing computers.)

(And in case you're wondering...I drew the images used in my avatar and edited them myself. So no stealing.)
