Update: The first part of the arc is done, and it's words in length. The second/final part of the arc will be roughly around the same word count, too. And, of course, the first part of the arc is posted.

Name: Brandy

Nickname(s): Tabansi, Tabby, Tabby cat, Taban, Bran, Brandinator, BB, Cami (rare, but I do get called that every now and then), Bran-Bran, Brandylynn (a teacher didn't know how to distinguish my first and middle name apart), idiot, Mom, Mommy, and Bindi to all those kids who cannot pronounce the "rand" sound in my name.

Age: 17 ...Still not driving, but I can see rated R films legally now. Yay?

Gender: Female -- surprising, I know.

Occupation: Student -- just a nicer term to use than "moocher."

Hobbies: I have many.

I'm a fan of: Adam Sandler movies, Angry Beavers, Axis Powers Hetalia, Azumanga Daioh, Battle Royale, Bitter Virgin, Bokurano, Chrono Crusade, Courage the Cowardly Dog, D.N. Angel, Death Note, Demon Diary, Disney movies, Donkey Kong games, Elfen Lied, Final Destination, Final Fantasy games, Foxtrot, Friday the 13th, Garfield, Ghost Only, Good Omens, Halloween movies, Hellsing, House M.D., Howl's Moving Castle, I Am Legend, Inuyasha, Invader Zim, Jeepers Creepers, Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, Jurassic Park, Kingdom Hearts, Legend of Zelda series, Mai HiME, Metal Gear Solid, Naruto, Nightmare on Elm Street, Ouran High School Host Club, Outsiders, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attourney, Spirited Away, Stephen King, Tales of Symphonia, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Day After Tomorrow, The Hills Have Eyes, Utena, Uzumaki (not Naruto), Yu Yu Hakusho, Zelda, Zits

Yes, that's a butt-load of stuff I'm a fan of, but you'll notice that a few popular fandoms happen to be missing. Unfortunately, I'm not really into Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, or Pirates of the Carribean. I know; it's quite a shock. (And I am aware that many of you may be scratching your heads on some of the things listed. I get into fandoms that aren't quite popular...)

And anything else you're interested in knowing about me, just ask!

FAQ: My birthday is May 22. I'm okay with any pairing as long as the characters are kept in-character and the story is well-written. Also, I tend to use an overload of commas in my writing style and drag things out because I have an issue with brevity, so expect long reads whenever I update. (Lately, the word count has always been above eight-thousand words.)

Also, because this happened once before, I would like to address the issue of advertising through reviewing my fic. It's rude, I don't approve with it, and I will delete the review if it is anonymous. Really, if you want me to help spread the word out about your website, fanfic, or forum/whatever--just ask! I'll most likely say yes, so please don't go about advertising through reviews without my permission.

If you have any other information you want to know/questions or concerns about FUR/want me to read your story/just want to chat about nothing and everything, just send me a PM or email. My AIM s/n is Tabansi232. Feel free to say, "Hi!" or whatever. I don't ask for license and registration. Note: I rarely go on AIM (pretty much due to my laziness to reinstall it on my computer), so you're better off contacting me through FFnet's PM system or my e-mail. If you don't have an account on FFnet or don't feel like signing in, you can contact me on my LJ. I'm Tabansi232 there, too, so I shouldn't be too hard to come across.

FYI: Profanity filter is disabled, but please watch the language. I don't need more reasons for my teacher to berate me when I read emails during class.

Fanfic Updates:

Flipped Up Reality: Cami, me, gets sucked into FFIX. Will I survive? Or will I go insane? Not a Mary-Sue. Chapter 36 is up!

Chapter 37: In-progress.
Status report: August 29th, 2009. Over 8k is done on chapter 37, but the chapter itself is around...40-45 percent done.
Status report: August 30th, 2009. 13,678 words done so far, and the chapter is about 50 percent complete.
Status report: September 7th, 2009. 15,081 words done so far, and the chapter is just above 50 percent complete. School has made my writing schedule hectic, so I'm not progressing as fast on the chapter as I want to.
Status report: September 13th, 2009: 16,102 words done so far, and the chapter is...um, getting much longer than it was originally supposed to be. Please disregard the percents in the other posts.
Status report: September 17th, 2009: 17,077 words done so far. Woo.
Status report: September 30th, 2009: 19093 words done so far. Part One of the Arc is finished!

Chapter 38: In-progress.

Note to FUR readers: I've started using cameos in my fic! Instead of using characters from other games/movies/books/anime/everything else, I'm going to be using original characters. If anyone wants to be a cameo character or have their OC in the fic, then just PM me (or if you don't have an account, leave a review) with: Character's name, Gender, Race, Age, Hair color (include length plus style), Eye color, Skin tone, Height, Weight (or just a description of your build), and Personality. To go further in-depth, you can also include what type of weapon your character uses and attacks they have. You can also include facts about yourself or OC (likes, dislikes, fears, family, relationship status, etc.).

http://www.katfeete.net/writing/marysue.html -This is a site that lets you see if the OC you have created is a Mary Sue or not. I'm trying to stay away from creating Mary Sues in this fic, and this means that if the OC you give me is too much of a Mary/Gary Sue/Stu I will not be using them.

List of cameo characters, what chapters they appear in, and their rightful owners:

1.) Kaoru from Chapter 23, 24, 25, 32, 33... (Animesage's OC from The Fox Meets Sylvarant.)

2.) Leta from Chapter 25, 27, 29... (A cameo of rikku4771.)

3.) Rick from Chapter 28... (armless-phelan's OC from This Could Be Trouble.)

4.) Matthew Beru/Blaze from Chapter 33, 34, 35, 36, 37... (Blaze Shadow's OC.)

Just a reminder to people: the character you send in can be a good or bad guy, so you might want to include that in. Also, the characters do not need to be human. Tons of characters in Final Fantasy IX are creatures, so I really wouldn't find it odd if you wished to make such a character. And people, please do not take the litmus test I have posted too seriously (or literally. The results have a lot of figure-of-speech descriptions about your character.) Litmus tests aren't always accurate, and I do believe that one really has to read about what a character would do in a situation, why they would do it, and how others would respond to the character and his/her actions. So, if your having trouble deciding on whether or not your character is a Sue--I'll glady be of assistance!
