Simple Facts About MoonStarDutchess
I am a college student studying Psychology at a small community college and I plan to go to a bigger one after getting my associates. Unlike most who start college at eighteen and right after high school I traveled a bit and began going to school when I was twenty-two. I was born on January 10 and I am a Capricorn. I am also thrilled to share a birth date with one of my favorite singers in the world, Pat Benetar.
I tend to be mistaken as being stuck up because I am quiet. It gets frustrating because I am far from being stuck up. I will talk to anyone but usually they have to initiate the conversation or it just starts flowing from a common interest. For example: If I see someone reading a book I like or someone with an anime backpack I may speak to them and if they respond well (I am rather good at reading people) then I will continue to talk.
I don’t have many friends but I truly adore the ones I do have because I know I can trust them. It’s the same for my friends online. It amazes me how close you can get to people online just from speaking over PM’s or IM.
When I get to know someone, I become a humorous, silly, and bit of an immature person. I believe life is much too short to be serious all the time. Life is meant to be fun. With some people, it’s instantaneous. I am just instantly comfortable with them and they are probably thinking, “Wow she’s psychotic.”
Like all people, I have flaws, vices, and I make mistakes. No one is perfect and if they say they are then they have a strong false sense of self, which is a flaw… I have been through a lot in my life. Enough to realize that I can’t ever be perfect and I can’t please everyone no matter how hard I try.
I've been described by most as very quirky and I am not ashamed of saying much of anything if I feel it but I draw the line at hurting people's feelings.Usually if I do I don't mean to do so.
Writing Views
I have horrible vicissitudes when it comes to my writing. There are days when I am so happy with it and days when I just hate it and want to delete everything. I think that’s normal for all writers so I don’t stress too much about it when I get that way.
I hate it when people ask, why do you write this stuff if you aren’t paid for it? What benefit is this to you? Here are my answers that many of you could use if you are asked this.
First, set them straight on the “stuff.” It’s rude to call it STUFF! Just correct them politely on what it’s called if they honestly don’t know. It’s not just stuff to people. It’s a passion, just like playing sports (but less physically active).
The reason I write is a need for escape. For the moments I am writing, or reading, I can forget the pain of the real world. I also enjoy entertaining people, which I can do with writing. That’s why I write and why it’s a benefit for me. It helps me cope with things.
I’ve noticed that since I’ve started writing fan fiction I’ve gotten so much better in English classes. Writing helps you with learning more words, more grammar rules, and more ways in which you can write a sentence. In addition, many fics need research for everything from how to bandage a wound to how to cook a casserole. As you do the research, you keep learning about new things. Who knows when you might use what you’ve learned about CPR that you used in a fanfic or how to bandage a wound properly.
I have a firm belief that everyone has a distinct style of writing and ones style isn't necessary better than another one. Style preference is all in the eye of the reader. If you don't like the way a writer writes then don't read it.
I hate it when people read others writing and say, Oh I can write that better. You can’t. That person wrote it from their emotions and their perspective. Word wise or grammar wise you might but emotionally you can never feel exactly what that person was feeling when they wrote it. You can’t even grasp it.
I don't believe in giving constructive criticism unless the writer asks for it. I won't do it unless the writer asks me to. If the writer feels I have the skills to help him or her, I will happily do so.
I can write angst but I don't like reading it. I very seldom want to write it. There’s too much negativity in the world already.
I am in the process of writing a chapter I can't read another work until I am finished with my chapter. I get plot bunnies from the oddest things and when I get bunnies it delays the chapters of ongoing fics. So if I don't read right away when you post a chapter and I have you on my alerts, rest assured that I will get around to reading and reviewing as soon as I finish up the chapter in question.
I think people should be kind to every reader and reviewer that they come across. You will more flies with honey than vinegar. Just make sure it's not imitation honey. There's nothing worse than a faker that only pretends to be nice so they can get friends. There are people that I hate on this site just like there are many many people that hate me (my hate mail I got in my old email address proves that). I hate them because of their attitudes to other people.
I adore writing lemons and I now have a firm belief that every single person on the planet has an inner pervert. Some more strongly than others. After writing my story "Go Fish In An Elevator" I've found that I can write almost anything.
Even a small, "Your doing great" review can perk up a writer.
I take flames hard for the first hour that I get one then I get over it (with some venting to Nature 9000). If you haven't got one yet then I am happy for you but be expecting it. Everyone will get flamed eventually by some asshole.
Requests
Some people either don't like to write or can't really write but they have ideas. I get a lot of requests and I adore getting them. I think they help improve my writing greatly. However, sometimes I just don't have the ideas in me to write so please read these guidelines so you can help me write you the best fic possible.
If you don't have ff.net account and can't send it via PM you can send it to mrsrizamustang@yahoo.com I check that email every week. If you do have an account on here please send the request via PM.
Note: I only write Royai or Sailor Moon requests.
A. For Birthday Requests
Let me know a few weeks ahead of time.
Give me an idea for what you want. Don't just say, "A royai oneshot"
Tell me the following: What Genre do you want? Ex: Angst, Fluff, Humor, Smut etc . . .
Give me at least an idea of something. I run out of ideas which delays your fic until I get one. Something as simple as a word prompt like Coffee or Sunshine.
Perfect example: I would like a smutfic with some humor about Riza sunbathing and her husband Roy watching her. (CRAP I got a panda from that example).
Give as much details as you like. I can even write something if you give details such as you want a happy fic about Roy and Riza taking a walk.
Just give me something to work with.
Usually they are oneshots unless I get bit by a plot panda. In the cases of Ru Doragon's upcoming belated B-day gift and Bluerain2blue's fic.
B. Normal Requests
-- I take everyday requests from people. You can dedicate a fic to someone (I will list your name and who its dedicate to in the summary and AN) or just have me write an idea that you have.
-- Usually they are oneshots unless I get hugged by a plot panda.
