Hello people of the internets and welcome to my profile page! Obviously, I love writing. I also love webdesign, graphics, and Pocky. I love anybody that gives me Pocky. It makes me happy. Other things that make me happy are: taking photos, shopping, hanging out with friends, and watching movies or tv shows. I have a lot of movies and shows on dvd.
I've written fanfics for Charmed, Dark Angel, Firefly, Veronica Mars, The Covenant, and RFR. I've also written fanfics for 15/Love and Fast & The Furious. Those ones didn't work out very well, though and were taken off the site. My two most favorite fandoms are Charmed and Veronica Mars. I have a thing for shows with girls that kick butt, what can I say? It's empowering in a totally un-cheesy way. I also have a thing for any show with Jensen Ackles in it, for the obvious reasons.
My favorite fandoms are: Charmed (Future), Veronica Mars (it's my latest obsession. :)) Supernatural, Dark Angel, Firefly, Cowboy Bebop, The Covenant, She's the Man
Other Fandoms I like are: 15/Love, RFR, Gilmore Girls, X-Men (comic verse), Fantastic Four (comic verse), Fast and Furious, Sky High, The OC, Princess Diaries (movie verse)
Pairings I like:
Charmed: Chris/Bianca, Piper/Leo, Piper/Dan, Paige/Henry, Paige/Kyle, Pheobe/Jason, Phoebe/Cole
Veronica Mars: This is about the only series where there's a tie... I like Veronica equally with Logan and Duncan... it depends on the fic. Also, I love Ma/Di. It's just weirdly cute.
Supernatural: Dean/Lauren (Dean/OFC - Believing Improbable Things - even if this fic is no longer updated)
Firefly: Rayne (weirdly enough, it works), Mal/Inara (I LOVE these two together, actually, not together, like dating, but I like them how they were in the show. Sadly, there don't seem to be many fics with her in them...), and Jayne/Kaylee and Kaylee/Simon
Cowboy Bebop: Spike/Faye (really, does anyone even like Julia?)
15/love: Nate/Adena, Cody/Squib
Gilmore Girls: Tristan/Rory, Rory/Jess
X-men: Bobby/Rogue, Wolverine/Jean (Scott is such a dork...even if he and Jean aren't together anymore.. is she currently alive or dead? It's hard to keep track.)
Stephanie Plum: Stephanie/Morelli (Ranger may be really hot, really, really, hot, but Morelli is just plain better.)
Dark Angel: Max/Logan (Okay, so I love Alec, but still, no)
Sky High: Warren/Frost Girl, Warren/Layla
The OC: Ryan/Taylor
Life with Derek: Dasey (I also like how it's always Derek that likes Casey, and not the other way around.)
She's the Man: Viola/Duke, Sebastian/Olivia (really, all those Viola/Olivia fics are just... gross.)
The Covenant: Caleb/Sarah, also, I prefer fics that still center around the guys, rather than just the new OFC character. Yes, pretty much everyone in that fandom (including myself) adds news OFC's, but at the same time, the story should still be about the guys. Or the guys and the new girl(s). But still, it shouldn't all be about the new girl(s).

The List of things that I hate about fanfiction:
1. Writers that take a story and make it so completely, utterly different and AU that the characters aren't even the same anymore. AU should mean Alternate Universe, not like... your own story with someone else's characters. If you want to write an original story, then do it. An AU story should be like, for example,(in Charmed) Phoebe died instead of Prue, or the sisters lives without magic, or the sisters all had daughters instead of sons. But if someone takes Leo and puts him in a story and makes him an evil jerk for no reason, or makes a character the complete opposite of who they actually are, or does something like that, then that's just wrong. Also, wrong, or more just weird, is when someone puts two different stories together. Not as a crossover, because those can be awesome, but they take the life of one character from one story and put them in the life or situations of another, completely different character.
2. Writers that character bash or make a character really mean and evil just 'cause they don't like them. 'Cause really, you may not like them (for example, some people don't like Bianca (Charmed) or Logan (Dark Angel) or Duncan (Veronica Mars) or whoever) but that doesn't give you the right to just change their character because you dislike them. This also goes for changing Wyatt's personality. Just because you did not like how optimistic and cheerful he was in "Imaginary Fiends" doesn't mean you can change him. He is not just like Chris, he is pretty much the exact opposite of Chris, actually. He is overly optimistic and sweet, not sarcastic and neurotic. That whole act is Chris' department. :)
3. Mary-Sues! Okay, so every writer makes a mary-sue character at some point or other, but they're still annoying.
4. Writers that give Chris as many powers as Wyatt. He has less powers than Wyatt and he's supposed to. So deal with it.
5. People who use too much tragedy in their fics - like there's a car crash, and then someone gets a terrible disease and then something else bad happens and there's no reason for any of it. Sometimes, enough is enough, people. There are other ways of creating drama. For an example, go check out any of Zeria's stories. Or CharmedGrl4Ever's stories - she's especially good at cliff hangers.
6. Writers that take bright, happy, cheerful series and then write morbid, tragic fics for them. That's just wrong. You can write fluff pieces about anything, because everybody but everybody has at least tiny happy moments in their lives, but you can't take these characters whose lives are average (ex. Princess Diaries, Gilmore Girls, 6Teen) and then have something super tragic happen to them. Unless you're super talented, it won't work.
7. Writers that have a character have either cancer or some other disease for no reason other than they just want the drama. It's not cool and it's actually a bit of an insult to anyone who has a disease like that or has suffered through something like that. Again, unless such a thing could actually happen in that particular universe, or unless you're particularly talented, it just doesn't work. Even then, I still don't really like fics with a disease as the main plot. This goes double for fics that have one of the Winchesters have some disease so they can have a 'normal life'. They are the Winchesters, they are NOT normal and that's the entire point.
8. Really bad slash pairings. I, unlike most people, actually don't dislike all slash pairings (Draco and Harry, anyone? I mean, really, haven't you ever wondered if Draco was really all that into girls?) but sometimes, straight guys (or straight girls) should just be left alone. Some pairings are just obscene.
9. Fanfic Writers that use too many exclamation points in their writing. Especially when it comes to dialogue. Just because someone said something excitedly doesn't mean you should use an exclamation mark. Think about it, how many novels do you read with that many (or even any) exclamation points in them?
The List of things I love about fanfiction:
1. The continuation of stories, such as Charmed, Veronica Mars, Dark Angel or Firefly. Who doesn't love to read about what could happen to your favorite characters after the show or movie has ended?
2. The awesome writers that get the characterization just right and manage to keep, and even expand, the relationships between various characters just as they should be.
3. The stories that inspire you to get into the real thing. For example, "Believing Improbable Things", is a fanfic and one of my favorite stories, including real fiction. It was so good, actually, that because of it, I started to watch the actual show, Supernatural.
4. The stories that take the characters, the universe, in an entirely unexpected direction. This applies largely to AU stories, the type where things have been changed slightly, but the story is just unbelievably awesome. It also applies to stories that do unexpected things, like unexpected pairings, but the pairings just fit so well that you're surprised that you didn't think of it first, or that it wasn't in the show or movie (or book, or whatever, if you read more than just tv show fanfiction, like I mostly do) to begin with. Perfect examples of this are Mac and Dick from Veronica Mars, and River and Jayne, from Firefly. Or, another example, is "Believing Improbable Things" which rewrites the entire first season of Supernatural with an added character, a love interest for Dean. It is wonderful.
5. The kind of stories that are just so good, you can't read them all at once, because the emotions in the story are just so real that you can't take it all in at once. Strangely, I've had this happen more with fanfiction than with actual fiction.
6. Original Characters that just fit so well within the universe of the story, they seem like they really could have been in the story in the first place. Or stories that add new scenes, like Play On, and the new scenes seem like they were part of the original story.
7. New plots for an old story (ex. Charmed, Veronica Mars, etc.) that seem like they really could have been a plot for the original story, the story is done just that well.
8. Fanfic writers who not only write excellently, but do research for their fics. For example, in Zeria's "New Beginnings" story, two of the characters, Chris and Casey, love to cook, and in the story, it's obvious that research has been done to be able to correctly show this aspect of their lives.
9. Original Characters, character pairings, or events and ideas that become their own thing. In other words, Fannon. For instance, in Charmed, it is never actually said that Chris lead a Resistance movement against Wyatt, but I have never read an original timeline fanfic where it isn't mentioned that at some point, he did.
10. Fanfic Authors who, not only continue the story, but add to and expand the universe. The perfect example of this is Matchbox Dragon's Sky High series, which continues and expands the characters' lives and powers.

Quotes:
"Our love was supposed to be epic. Spanning lifetimes and continents, involving bloodshed and ruined lives. Epic." - Logan Echolls, Veronica Mars (Happy Go Lucky)
"I'm not insane, okay, maybe I am a little bit, but that's irrelevant here." - Phoebe Halliwell, Charmed (Deja Vu All Over Again)
"It's okay, I'm taking it back." - Randall, Clerks 2
"Do I contradict myself? Fine, I contradict myself. I am large. I contain multitudes." - Walt Whitman, Song of myself
"Do you think Chuck Norris could defeat the Army of Darkness? No? I didn't think so. Bruce Campbell for the win!" - ... this one I made up. It's kind of a thing between me and a friend. We think Bruce Campbell (Ash, in Evil Dead 1, 2 and 3, and possibly the dumbest hero or not hero, ever) is better than Chuck Norris.
"There are three ways to do things: the easy way, the hard way, and McClane's way. McClane's way often includes massive property damage." - Another joke between me and a friend. Because John McClane is awesome.
"Good guy, bad guy, I'm the guy with the gun." - Ash, Army of Darkness
"Whenever Kaiba smiles, a puppy dies." - Yugi, Yugi-Oh!: The Abridged Series

ANNOUNCEMENTS
July 21st, 2008: I pretty much suck for not updating anything for so long, but updates are coming. First, The Perfect Life has been updated.
June 24th, 2008: Okay, so I couldn't help myself. I was going to wait until it was done to post The Sixth Witch, but I couldn't help myself. So I posted chapter one.
June 23rd, 2008: Added chapters 10 and 11 of The Perfect Life.
June 23rd, 2008: I haven't put any updates for The Perfect Life for a while because I've been working on chapters 10, 11, and 12 simultaneously. I will probably post all three of them at once as soon as they are done. Once I am done with The Perfect Life, I will write up the last two chapters of What Happens If... and then get started on Sophomore Year, my season 4 Veronica Mars fic. I've also been working on a Covenant fic called The Sixth Witch.
June 5th, 2008: I'm up to chapter nine of The Perfect Life and I randomly wrote a small one-shot about Duncan, Logan and Veronica as kids, specifically, on that day when Logan mentions thinking she's cute with the pigtails and the soccer uniform, called The Soccer Game.
May 12, 2008: Last night I was feeling particularly depressing and wrote a one shot fic about Cassidy in episode 2.22 'Not Pictured' called This Is What It Feels Like To Fly. That's about it in terms of updates.
May 9th, 2008: I'm up to chapter seven on The Perfect Life, and I'm working on the first chapter of my Veronica Mars season four fic, titled (for now) Sophomore Year. If anyone has any good suggestions for better titles, please tell me as I'm not so sure I like that one.
April 17, 2008: I started a new story, The Perfect Life. It's a Veronica Mars fanfic. And no, it's not a LoVe fic, to disappoint most fans of the series. I am going to write a LoVe fic at some point, though.
April 14, 2008: I changed my user name from Alternate_Universe_Princess to Poisoned Princess and I decided that "Ain't No Place But Here" will remain a oneshot, as originally intended. This also has to do with plot bunnies and my new obsession, Veronica Mars. I may or may not write a fic for it...
March 16, 2008: So, two new chapters have been added to "What happens if..." and more are on the way. "Broken Promises" has been put on permanent hiatus, because no one was really reading it, and I sort of lost the thread of where I was going with that story, anyway.
January 14, 2008: I deleted "Before and After" because even though it was my most popular fic, I just didn't want to write it anymore. It was kind of dumb anyway, since I really don't know anything about cars. It was really just an experiment in writing styles. I'm probably going to either quickly finish or delete "Broken Promises" since I'm not as in love with 'Dark Angel' as I once was. You can blame Supernatural for that, I suppose. "What Happens if..." should be finished sometime soon. There are only about four more chapters left for that one.
CURRENT FANFICS:
What Happens If...
What Happens If... is my current Charmed Future fic, and it's written from Bianca's point of view after Chris disappears. Basically, this is a fic I'd wanted to write since the first time I saw "It's A Bad, Bad, Bad World Pt. 2". I always wondered what really happened to Chris, I mean, he faded away, right? To me, that doesn't exactly equate with flat out dying. So, what happens in this fic is that in the new, changed future, Bianca and Chris are together (because really, they belong together) but then one morning she wakes up to find him gone. She goes to the Manor to find him, thinking maybe the Elders did something, since they never liked her being with him, but then she finds out that no one remembers who Chris is. So, she sets out to find him.
The Perfect Life
The Perfect Life is a Veronica Mars fanfic set six years into the future after season two. This fic follows the continuity of the show, including season three, but few of the characters or events of season three come up in this fic. The year is 2012, and Veronica, along with everyone else has moved on. But what happens when the past starts to catch up with her? There's love (no, not LoVe... but romance), drama, mystery, and of course, weirdly cute moments between Mac and Dick. Just because I couldn't help myself.
The Sixth Witch
The Sixth Witch is a Covenant fanfic set just after the movie. The fic introduces two new characters, but at the same time, still focuses on what was so enjoyable about the movie - the interactions between the Sons of Ipswich. Basically, the summary is that it's a few days after the movie ended, and everyone has moved on with their lives except for Tyler. He's not so sure that Chase is gone, so he decides to do some research about it and instead of finding out what happened to Chase, he finds out that there's a sixth witch. What he doesn't know is that the sixth witch is a girl. The pairings for this fic are: Caleb/Sarah, Pogue/OC (with a little bit of Pogue/Kate), Reid/OC, and maybe Tyler/OC, but more along the lines of Tyler going on dates with some random girls rather than there being a separate, main character for that. There are two new characters introduced in this fic, Savannah Carter and Hayley Parker.
