Status: Well, I’m hoping to start getting somewhat back into fanfiction…though with my first year of college fixing to start, that may not be possible. I’ve actually had through chapter 14 typed up on my computer this whole time for Identity Crisis but I really didn’t like the direction it was headed at all so I’ve gone through and completely changed it. Now it’ll take time for me to finish the story and get to where I want to start updating it again, but I’ve laid out what I want in each chapter, which should help motivate me. Chapters 10 and 11 are definitely coming along at a good pace. They need some serious patching up but for the most part they’re there…it’ll just be another while longer before I get around to posting them up on the site. Mostly I just want to finish the fic, though I am thinking about doing another one. This other fic idea I have will probably be less than 10 chapters though if I go through with it, but I gotta finish IC first. Otherwise I have a rekindled interest in Yugioh to thank for my inspiration to write again, lol. I had stopped watching it as a kid about halfway through the third season and lately have been watching the rest of it on the 4kid’s website. The Abridged Series I think helped get me started down that path too, lol. Now I’ve got to go catch up on those fics I’ve neglected on my favorites list…
Submitted Reviews: 1,147

Before my sister (my twin sister, actually) got her own account on this site I posted these fics on mine for her and they are:
Sora vs the 7Up Machine (the sequel is on her account)
The Tale of a Mad Princess
Please note that these two fics listed are NOT mine and full credit should be given to her with the exception of the rights mentioned in the disclaimers.

The eight fics written by me so far are:
Identity Crisis (NEW!)
Guardians of Legend
Sole Element (written in partnership with Jupiter-Lightning...kinda died)
Zen's Amulet
Zen's Imprisonment (prequel to Zen's Amulet, both are complete)
A Lover's Loss
A Lover's Loss 2 (Not finished and it or its predecessor is not recommended. It was my first fanfic...and at only 13, give me a break, lol.)
Contemplation (One-shot)

Feel free to call me Blondie, if you would. I’m an eighteen year old (it’s about time!), Christian girl that loves action movies, video games, and cottage cheese. I run cross country and compete in the two and one mile in track. I come from a big family that I love very much and generally I’m a nice person…at least, I hope, lol. I always review fanfiction I read, and as you can see by my review count I posted above, I’ve actually read a good bit. If I can give advice I give it…if not, well, I put down whatever I think of the fic, though sometimes with some rambling thrown in, lol. : )

My favorite movie of all time is…Well, I don’t know anymore. I love The Dark Knight, The Mummy, and Ironman…but there’re so many more I could name. Basically most action and/or super hero movies seem to win me over pretty easily, lol. I used to be a huge horror movie fan, despite my chronic paranoia that resulted from such movies, but now I can’t stand them—especially after the Saw ones. The older Disney movies like Mulan, Hercules, The Lion King, and Aladdin are forever favorites. I enjoy reading too. I can’t really pick a particular book, although books by Michael Crichton (he wrote Jurrassic Park, though my favorite books by him are either Timeline or State of Fear) are good and Robert Ludlum is where my newest book craze is—whoo for the Bourne trilogy! Surprisingly I’ve never read any of the Harry Potter books, but my sister’s boyfriend hooked her up with some which means I’ll get to read them by default! Lol. My favorite singer is currently Styx because they’re awesome…well, sort of. Renegade is probably one of my favorite songs though Broken by Amy Lee and Seether is definitely up there. Used to love country music because that’s what I grew up on, especially Shania Twain, but now I stay as far away as possible. Upbeat oldies songs are great or really pretty songs and by pretty I mean voices. Like Amy Lee or Vienna Teng…or Phil Collins on the Tarzan movie soundtrack :D

Usually when I watch TV, I watch House, Ghost Whisperer, Fairly Odd Parents, and SpongeBob Squarepants. Yugioh has just been added to this list though, so yay! I can usually only sit down for an hour or so at a time to play video games, but my number one favorite game is anything The Legend of Zelda (I’d have to say Twilight Princess was the best, but Ocarina of Time was amazing too…). That’s part of the reason all my fics are tied into that series, lol. The Metroid Prime series is pretty awesome (Holy cow MP3 was incredible!) and so are the Halo games (The book Fall of Reach too…wow, Master Chief kicks butt!); Tales of Symphonia and Star Fox Assault were amazing too. I also enjoyed the Gamecube and Wii Fire Emblem games.

The only relationship pairings I don’t care for are mostly guyxguy or girlxgirl. Sorry, but I just don’t agree with it. I strongly dislike Mary-sues because those characters are just…well, Mary-sue is enough said (just don’t read my first fic…I was…young and incredibly stupid). I strongly dislike profuse usage of profanity, racism, when people take the Lord’s name in vain, cigarette smoke (disgusting), and for now that’s really all I can think of to include in this li’l rant of dislikes, lol. I will say, though, that the one thing that really gets on my nerves is this-people that want to wallow in pity for the rest of their lives. Life sucks, get used to it, push on to achieve, and be the best that you can be.

I once had the dream of becoming an author, on the side of my future career if I could manage it, but now I’m pretty sure I don’t want to go anywhere near that. I love writing fanfiction, more so than original works, because I love the video game characters more than my own. Reviews have often made my days and that’s why I submit one for everything I read. I know how much a review can mean, no matter how insignificant the words may seem to its submitter, so I am set in my ways as far as that goes and normally I’ll try to return favors by reading the fics of those that read mine, though sometimes I’m a bit shy when it comes to other people returning the favor to me, especially when I know their writing far exceeds my own. I appreciate it of course, but I never want anyone to feel obligated to read my writings so I would certainly never ask or expect someone to. I love constructive criticism, though, so don’t ever back off from giving me any.

My dad and my older brothers, being my only older siblings, had a lot of influence on me growing up so that would explain my not so girly-girlness. It was a long time after my dad remarried before I would even consider wearing a skirt without shuddering, and now I’ve got three in my closet, lol.

Thankfully my real name does not bear any resemblance to my twin sister’s name. My parents were kind in giving us that freedom, lol, but I’m constantly asked, “Are you guys twins?” No, we look almost exactly alike just because, lol. If it’s an adult asking, I’m not condemning at all, but if it’s just a kid trying to be obnoxious then I usually will walk away muttering under my breath. I especially don’t appreciate having people call my name in the school hallway out just to see if they could get it right and then squeal in delight. Whoo, that’s great, but it’s annoying and really distracting. I usually have enough going on in my head without that and my friends don’t have any problems telling us apart, so it really isn’t that big a deal. Get over yourself, ya know? lol.

Unless you count the boy in first grade before I ever knew what the heck a ‘boyfriend’ was, lol, I’ve never dated, and nor do I feel like I have time to or really want to until college. I don’t have a large circle of close friends, but I know I can trust the ones I do have. I have plenty of people that I talk to in school that are great, but it’s just never really evolved into anything farther than that. I’ve got my own interests, they’ve got theirs. Simply put. You could probably call Jupiter-Lightning my best friend. We’ve known each other so long and I can easily confide in her.

I like to think of myself as a patient person, with everyone except my fifteen year old little sister that is, lol, but I don’t try to look for flaws in people. I don’t associate with people known for drugs or other such things though, because I know the road I want to follow and it does not include purposely hanging onto bad influences.

I’m not a talkative person. I speak when I have something to say, really, because my life isn’t so terribly eventful that I’ve got something to blabber on about all the time. I probably ‘speak’ more online than I do anywhere else, next to when I’m with my friends or family of course. I've been told I'm a very good listener if that counts for anything. I like to look at both sides to confrontational issues. There are some issues I’m resolute against, but it’s not without listening to both sides of the story and I certainly don’t disregard people that disagree with me. I am in support of the death penalty, for instance, but against gay marriage. If you’re against the first and for the latter, more power to ya.

Since I'm into the Legend of Zelda fandom and there's a lot of relationship pairing rivalries, I think I might as well address the issue. If I include a pairing in my story, then it is LinkxZelda. I have absolutely nothing against the other pairings whatsoever so long as they are not guyxguy or girlxgirl as stated above in my rant of dislikes. To me Malon is too much of a complete character for me to write with-she's got that cute, country attitude-and it's not something I feel like I can work with to fit the plot lines I invent. Now, she might be more like me (not that I have a cute personality), but I just don't know. Yeah, Zelda's a princess, properness included and all that, but I feel freer to expand on her personality a bit. Plus, a commoner like Link falling for royalty makes for more twists in that direction. Really it's all just personal preference, and mostly I go off of the Ocarina of Time version of the two because it’s what I’m definitely familiar with. I know this is really embarrassing, but my sister and I used to enact the Zelda characters from that game, after having watched my brothers play it so much, with our stuffed animals. After the Barbie stage, stuffed animals were our passion and we had tons! At our young age, we just concluded that the princess and the hero should be together and old habits die pretty hard. We also gave Link like a hundred sisters (don't ask me how that one worked out, lol) but we had our little adventures in the good old days. Anyways, though, I love the other pairings just as much as LinkxZelda, but only in the stories of other people. o.o;

Dedication to other authors:

Jupiter-Lightning, one of my very best friends, who guided me to this site, writes awesome Kingdom Heart fanfiction. I’ve never played the game, but I feel like an expert because of everything she’s told me and from her wonderful stories. I have watched her play it though. Sometimes I’d convince her to drag her PS2 to my house, lol, though I guess I’ve fought Riku at the beginning with a wonderful wooden sword, but I don’t think that really counts as playing. Her newest fic, A Tale of Two Newbies, is downright hilarious as she targets the common horridness that seems to be plaguing the Kingdom Hearts section lately including Mary-Sues, icky plot lines, and bad grammar! :D

My twin sister, da marshmallow, writes great random humor. I don’t know where she comes up with the stuff, but I’ve also been privileged to read a Zelda humor fic she’s working on that I think will turn out great. She’s definitely always good for a laugh, especially if you need someone to make fun of. :P lol, just kidding, though her stuff really is funny.

Now, I can’t pick a favorite of my favorites, but these awesome writers are amazing and if I could list ‘em all at once I would, but yay for random non-particular, I’ll go with alphabetical, order! lol.

Cloudrunner Sparty: I actually stumbled over his stuff very recently and everything is so well written and awesome, how could I not be impressed? I was blown away, it’s that good. The best part? It just keeps getting better. :)

Nova Flame: Took forever and a day to update :P but wow, he’s an amazing writer and I will forever love his awesome fics. That’s right. For-e-ver…Just pretend it was the Sandlot kid saying that last part and my totally pathetic attempt at humor will make sense, lol. Major props go out to this guy!

The Wallflower: Sure it’s been a while, but he wrote some incredibly Mega Man/Zelda crossover fics, the original and a sequel, both are completed, and oh my gosh they were just incredible. I really wasn’t all that into Mega Man, I’ve really only seen a few of the earlier episodes, but he made me love the character, and of course you can never go wrong with Link. :D

Unfinished Song: I haven’t read lots of Tales of Symphonia fanfiction on this site even though I love the game tons, but wow. I love this author’s fic! My sister actually discovered her talents while in her boredom she went and searched for something good to read. She thought the fic was awesome, so I was quite happy to read this recommendation—and I’m glad I did!

I think this thing is getting a little too long, especially since no one will probably read it anyways, lol, so I’ll end this here. Well, here’s hoping you like my fics or will consider stopping by to read one of ‘em! I’m a pretty weird person, so hopefully I didn’t scare anyone off. :)
