~ Info About Me! Hooray!~

I'm just an obsessive fangirl making it through one day at a time. I enjoy spending time with my family, best friends, and darling boyfriend. I also like shopping, reading, and volunteering. I love my writing to pieces as a fanciful hobby, although I am no longer for betawork hire due to my increasingly busy schedule and general dissatisfaction with grammar at this point. We had a falling out. It was an abusive situation, I...I don't want to talk about it.

I hate action during shows, it's so boring, but can stand it if it's padded with drama or talking. My writing influences include Douglas Adams, Michael J. Nelson, Joss Whedon, sitcoms, and cheap romance novels. (Which I hate.) Also, diet cherry Pepsi. I have fetishes for scarred men in masks and aging jerks, as well as dark or taboo romances, and my favorite colors are any that you may find on a bruise. I'm a Taurus. I consistently love everything and it has been said that being too optimistic is one of my major faults. Commercials are awesome and I write best next to a window during a daytime rainstorm. In case you care, though I'm not under the impression that you do, I put french vanilla creamer in my coffee. (Which I drink cold.)

My tag used to mean something way back. I now dislike the weeaboo connotations (as those days are far behind me) and have come close to changing it several times, but unfortunately the name itself has grown on me and the situation would just ultimately become confusing if I switched after so long. So you know.

~More About My Writing Or Whatever~

I'm currently in a very frustrated state concerning my writing, in such that all of my WIPs are of a higher quality than anything I have posted here. But they are, of course, in no completion to post at the moment; most of this is because several of them are multi-chapters or original. Maybe soon! I also intend on going back over and re-editing all of my earlier stuff, including the "Performance Art" ending and "Infamous Secrets" in its entirety, when I find the time. I know they suck. You need not tell me.

Of course I enjoy many different genres, but I've always had a soft spot for humor and parody gone horribly right. And I'm afraid that Spuffy started me on an eternal path of loving both Porn With Plot and Alternate Universes, both of which are joys to read when gone about correctly. Which they rarely are. Fluff, however, is an entirely different subject and is one thing that I can only tolerate in very small doses, although I have been known to make exceptions for certain ships in a desperate need for happy endings. I despise tragic climaxes! Shippiness is all well and good, but only if there's a very healthy about of realism to hold it up. I think that is what, if you'll excuse the expression, separates the men from the boys around here.

I do not tolerate character bashing and do not participate in such sad antics. It is unnecessary and out of place. For every reader you have that despises the character you're portraying in a bad light as much as you, there is another reader who is immediately put off by the same thing. It's rather alienating, is what I'm sayin' here.

I encourage you to check out my Favorite Stories listing. There dwells some of the best I can offer from my various fandoms. I'm constantly adding to it. Making it better. Stronger. Faster...Well, maybe that depends on your browser.

I manage a C2 community, "Brilliance Amongst the Rocks", dedicated to Star Wars fanfiction that has a low probability of making your eyes bleed. These stories range from "meh, okay" to "HOLY SHIT", but they're all relatively readable and encompass a wide variety of characters and situations. I was sick of digging through crap to find decent, researched stuff and wish to spare others the same hassle. So if you think that interests you, or you'd like to help me stay on the first page of listings, by all means subscribe to it. (Remember kids, there's nothing more unforgivable than being ignorant of the fandom you're working in. Don't be afraid to ask around! Wookieepedia is your friend!)

Be sure to check out my buddy to the north, TheMadPuppy, on my Favorite Authors list. She is the ultimate source for your Joker/Harley shippy cravings. She also writes damn good Evil Clown Porn as well. Definitely visit my good friend Gladrial10's profile too. Her stuff is top-notch obsessive JHQ, and I should know because I'm her official beta and source of inspiration. She knows everything about the comics, and I haven't yet been able to stump her with a question she didn't know. (shakes fist) One day, Amanda! ONE DAY!

Gladrial and I have also joined forces to bring you the collaborative account, Henchwenchesforhire. We've got three fics posted and another four in the works, so go check that out. (NOW!)
