I'm always up for new interests. you think something might interest me? Feel free to PM me and tell me all about it!

Just wanted to put in a quick word for aspiring writers:

Fanfiction writing is really difficult if you make it that way. If you're just starting out in writing, I suggest that you don't do what -I- did. I started off with two high-maintinence stories, and then added two more. When I say "High Maintinence", I mean stories that have more than 5 chapters, require extensive thinking, outlining, and typing. I suggest that beginners do the opposite; start with oneshots and go on from there. Because if you don't, you'll find it hard to update... O.o. . . Also, don't jump into "High Maintinece" stories until you've got the whole thing outlined. Long stories tend to lose some writers' intrests, and if they don't know where they're going, sometimes the story just goes around in circles.

Second, interesting fact; for summaries of stories, Fanfiction.net only allows 255 characters in the summary box. Don't ask how I know this, I just do. So, to keep from your summary being half cut-off, just check how many characters (now words, CHARACTERS. every period, letter, and space) there are in your summary. Also, don't put the disclaimer in the summary. the Summary is supposed to draw people into the story, and no one cares about the legal mumbo-jumbo of disclaimers. People don't actually sue if you don't have one. (from what I've seen, anyway.) Things I think you should put in the summary are: the summary, possibly the pairings, why the story is rated the way it's rated, and any modifications it might have to the show/book/whatever that you're writing for. (such as, "AU" alternate universe, "Prestory" set before the show, "Slash" warning showing a male-male or female-female relationship, whether the story is complete or not"Oneshot", or "Complete" will do, and so forth.) Try not to put things like "Written for my best friendinsert name here" or "OMG they're so cute together just read it!". Lastly; spellcheck your summary before putting it on. "Chtsp34k" is rarely appealing to readers, who assume that if your summary is written in chatspeak, then they think your story will be, too.

Oh, and for procrastonators, my best advice: if you find a story idea and start typing it, don't stop with the first chapter. Write the first, second, and maybe the third chapter before posting the first. That way, if you get stuck later on with Writers' block, you can still update regularly with the other chapters you've already made. And don't post all the chapters at once! if you space updates out by a week or so, you tend to get more reviews... :shifty eyes: what? I like reviews, too!

That's all. Sorry for sounding like a know-it-all...

Now, I shall explain reviewing. my wonderful, beloved, great, awesome friends who totally deserve to be exaulted for giving reviews...

My Policy on REVIEWS:

- I like reviews. I hate flames. I ignore flames and laugh at the people who write them.
- I find Reviewing an essential part of my writing. Please review, even if you read my story long after it's been published or finished.
- I tend to update faster when I have reviews. this is because reviews get me thinking, which gets my creativity going, which helps me write the next chapter.
- I value long reviews over short ones. it's fine if you have nothing to say, and put "gr8 stry upd8 soon plz". it at least lets me know someone's reading and I'm not talking/writing to a brick wall. but Reviews that have content in them get more response from me, especially IF THEY GIVE ME CONSTRUCTIVE CRITISISM. if you see a misspelled word, an out-of-character character, grammar mistakes, plotholes, unclear parts in my fic, or that you hate how the chapter is written (i.e. "when you write in all italics it makes me dizzy".), tell me. I'll fix it and thank you greatly.
- I vow to review every story I read. if you want me to read your story, be prepared for constructive critisizm. and a long review. I tend to practice what I preach.

reviews rock! :D
R&R.

Now...
If you've made it this far, and have read my bio before, You're probably thinking 'oh my god. she redid her entire bio. It must be somdeday!' (I told everyone I'd rewrite my bio 'someday'.) and yes, It happens to be someday. I'm working my butt off to get new chapters to my fans, assuming they haven't ditched me... (are you still there? hello?) and will finish my stories! the goal is in sight! hazzah!
