Name: Janelle

Gender: Female

Pen name: Teeju

Age: 22

Occupation: College Graduate heading to Japan to teach English (March 2009)

Hobbies: Writing (obviously) songs, poetry, short stories, Singing, Video games, Listening to music, Rocking out on guitar, Worship, Apologetics, making youtube videos, amateur voice acting

Religious Views:Yes, I am a Christian. I believe Jesus is Lord and the only way to Heaven. If you have a question about my faith, please message me. Really, I don't debate with people because I don't think that brings people to God, but if you have an honest question about why I believe what I believe, don't hesitate to ask.

Favorite TV Shows: Don't watch too much t.v. No time, busy college student. I watch anime online on youtube and other sites. Animes heavily influence what and how I write. Ususally I prefer Japanese with some exceptions... These are the animes I've watched:

Naruto(Japanese)

Fushigi Yugi (english dub/Japanese)

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (eng dub)

Sailor Moon (entire first season Japanese)

Tokyo Mew Mew (select episodes Japanese)

Karin (Japanese)

Animes I am watching presently: Devil May Cry

Animes I want to watch: The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (Season 2), Cardcaptor Sakura, (feel free to suggest anymore :))

Favorite Books: I hate reading. Maybe I should revise that. I mean I hate reading for school! All those deadlines bother me and now for a while it made me hate reading outside of classes too. There are some books for school that I read that were pretty cool. But for the most part I will only read if it is something that I'm interested in. it.I like reading mangas. Right now, I am reading the fushigi yugi series (Genbu Kaiden) Book 6!

Music: Christian Music! rock, rap, gospel. IZoegirl, Bethany Dillon, Cross Movement, Toby Mac, Barlow Girl, Jars of Clay
This isn't to say that I listen to all Christian music, I mean, I will listen to something if it has a good message which is pretty rare nowadays.
J-Pop!! (Japanese pop). Utada Hikaru, Do as Infinity, Kotoko, Chihara Minori

Any fighting video games (like Street Fighter, Naruto Ultimate Ninja, Rival Schools, KOF Maximum Impact etc)
Metal Gear Solid (What an intriguing plot? Don't you think?)

I'll pretty much watch any video game (on youtube) that has a good plot. Of course most games I'd rather play :)

How I integrate Christianity into my writings:

Wow, this is a mouthful. I know christianity isn't pantheistic, but I can see a little bit of God in everything. Just because I don't go around putting the word "God" in my works (though I definately don't see anything wrong in doing so) doesn't make it any less Christian than anyone elses. My stories are more Christian themed if anything like self sacrificing love.

I try to avoid cursing where I can but sometimes the situation merits such usage. Some Christian writers don't curse and I respect that. If my language uses causes you to stumble then I do apologize. Hopefully you don't find such uses a) unnecessary b) too common c) trite. Nevertheless, I hope you are able to look behind the language and see the real story.

Favorite Scriptures: "Because you are precious and honored in my sight, I will give men in exchange for you and people in exchange for your life." Isaiah 43:4

"Here is my final conclusion. Fear God and obey his commands, for this is the duty of every person." Ecclesiastes 12:13

"He who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ."

MY WORKS:

A PSYCHO'S REVENGE REMADE

So far I have written two stories. I wrote A Psycho's Revenge about 2 years ago. Heh...heh... yeah... never really got around to finishing it... All those fans who are waiting for a conclusion please be patient. I hit a brick wall in the story and I'm thinking about re-doing the story a bit. I actually did a script for APR for my scriptwriting class and it came out better than I thought. So I'm thinking about re-doing my script in short story format. It'll be like the ultimate APR remix! Stay tuned folks!

9/19/07

So I am on chapter 2 of APR remade. Sorry it's coming along so slowly. I'm kinda busy, I'm pretty much trying to work on three stories at once and then dealing with hectic college life. Stay tuned for another chapter possible later on in the week or this weekend. I'm really excited about this one guys,aren't you??

Update 11/28/07:

Wow! I'm already on 6 chapters and looking to wrap this up in 1 or 2 more chapters. So look out for the conclusion very soon. It might be the first chapter story I finished ever! Yay for persistance! I want to thank my reviewers, esp. Karisan-Karisan, one of my favorite writers ever, who inspired me to continue the story.

Update 3/4/08

Yeah so now I just finished chapter 8 and working on chapter 9. This is turning out to be longer than I expected. I was really supposed to tie things up in the last chapter. I really expect to end things for good in the next chapter and maybe have a small epilogue. Thanx again for those who reviewed, they really help me to keep going.

Update 4/15/08

Regular Ending: Complete

Alternate Ending: In the works (Update 11/6/08)

Thanks for all your support!
