Name: Lisa aka Fullmetal Butterfly

Location: Chicago, IL, USA

Age: 19

Profession: Biology student at college (university for Euros and Aussies, maybe others too) and part-time gluer of dried plants onto pieces of paper. Yes, I get paid for it. So ha.

Good things: Anime, udon, Dungeons and Dragons, my parents and brother, ferrets, actually all animals now that I think about it, oceans, mountains, fried rice, presents, cookies, donuts, internet comics, amazon.com, Lord of the Rings, Miyazaki movies

Bad things: Ketchup, pickles, people who hate the above things, people who like to kill things, talking about politics for more than 10 minutes, bad dubbing jobs, organic chemistry, writing papers that aren't for fun

Current Favorite Anime: Fullmetal Alchemist (as if you couldn't tell by my name), Trigun (again, the name), Fruits Basket, Cowboy Bebop, Excel Saga, Outlaw Star, Naruto, Chrono Crusade

Good Fanfics Have: Creative, compelling plots, generally appropriate use of characters, either completely funny or a good mix of drama and comedy, cool original concepts, realistically fleshing out characters with small amounts of background

Bad Fanfics Have: Mary Sues, icky/unrealistic romantic pairings (seriously, who was the first one to write Vash and Knives as a couple? They're twin brothers, for God's sake), ridiculously large amounts of angst, changing plot points for no good reason, inexplicably bringing back dead characters

Greetings. I'm a long-time reader, so I finally decided to give in and sign up for the site myself. I, uh, haven't written anything yet, but I have a C2 for stories involving FMA homuculus pairings. Oh, and if you know of another anime series that you think I'd like based on the above list, feel free to shoot me an email.
