I grew up in Florida. I even lived in Key West for a while. I'm the freak everyone ignored as a kid. I'm unbelievably tall, (As a baby, I was all legs.) and I have a fast metabolism, so my bones stuck out in my childhood. Add beady eyes, thick, large glasses, and a huge nose. That's me. My entire life was spent in a church. As a kid, I joined a children's choir and a children's drama. Then, we moved to Alabama. I joined a dance team and signed up for every youth activity, be it a lock-in or a church camp. I felt empty in middle school because no one seemed to care about me and ignored me, but I still kept my straight-A average. I was very young when my pastor first baptized me. At that age, I didn't really understand what I did, but I still strived to obey all the commandments. There was no relationship with Jesus, even as I recommitted my life to Christ at age thirteen. I still read my Bible on a regular basis and still went to every church activity possible. Then, I found slash, my great sin that God saved me from. I was literally addicted, searching for harder and harder stuff. I prayed at the alter for forgiveness and put Christ first in my life. I asked God to drop something to show I was heaven bound. A half second later, someone dropped their pencil! Insecurities about my future faded. Apathy towards others faded. Now, I actually find myself caring what happens to the person next to me. I find myself praying for others' salvations. I'm a whole lot less judgmental than my childhood counterpart. I see people as people, not things to ignore. My depression lessens daily with every Bible study. The days I forget to read, it comes back, so I know there's power in God's word! I talk to people more. Before I drive any car or ride, I pray. The two times when I didn't, my dad ran over a cat, and I got bumped at a stop sign. All other times no crashes! "Pray for me... that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel... Pray that I may declare it fearlessly as I should." Ephesians 6:19-20.

If you are not ashamed to admit that God is truly the Lord of your life, post your testimony in your profile.

While you are visiting my profile, I'll take this time to ask you if you need me to pray for anything, like family, finances, etc. Just give me a PM and I'll add you to my daily prayer list. Prayer works. :)

Putting God first, now onto the fanfiction part of my profile.

My DBZ fics:

When She Came: This is my very first fanfiction ever written. I keep it on my profile to show I have improved over the years.

But You're My Sister: I left the DBZ fandom before I could finish this fic, but I'm very glad I didn't. My OC is very Mary Sue, and I keep it on this site to show I have improved in creating OCs.

Save the Princess: This is based off a really weird dream I had. My subconscious has a weird habit of creating OC pairings in my head.

Naruto:

Randomness: This is a story my sister and I wrote together after reading a story where the creators wrote one sentence and passed it on. We just passed the story back and forth until we got bored with it, and then we posted it.

They're Late: I wrote this to see how well I could write a "deep-thought" story. There is barely any action, and it's just Sasuke contemplating stuff.

Naruto's Christmas Party!: I'm still a beginner writer. I based the entire story off a calendar picture.

Blind: I might remove this one-shot since no one's interested. I was very tired of the "elites" in our country knowing what's best for us when they know squat.

Yu Yu Hakusho:

The Hospital Room: My OC had enough of Hiei ignoring her and tries to commit suicide. Inspired by music.

The Funeral: Everyone's at Genkai's funeral, and Koenma tells Yusuke that someone made a copy of the Black Chapter and is brainwashing children in California. Kurama also died somewhere along the passage of time.

Unexpected: Vhee gave me the idea to write a story where Hiei finds a woman giving birth in the woods. I think Jessie is one of my more tolerable OCs. A picture of Jessie Hiyayaka is found on my deviantArt account.

Transformers/Beast Wars:

Rebirth: This was my try at Human!Transformers. I borrowed Sakura Haruno from Naruto and Yusuke and Keiko Urameshi from Yu Yu Hakusho. A picture of Melinda Cold is on my deviantArt account.

My Mistress's Eyes: My try at sappy romance. Too bad I picked an unpopular pairing.

Sunstreaker's Girlfriend: Created from my writing game. Very much a parody of Sunstreaker X OC. A picture of how Nightwing looks is on my deviantArt account, but I must warn you that it's my first time drawing a Transformer.

Free High Grade: This is a companion piece with Sunstreaker's Girlfriend. Nightwing is such a Mary-Sue. XD

Forgotten: It's a story of the ugly side of war. Created from my writing game.

Single Brown Feather: has political undertones; multiple parties are made fun of using Beast Wars characters. created from my writing game.

The Girl Who Loved Sunstreaker: I wrote this based on a RL experience. I recently took up horse lessons and met a horse that had the personality of Sunstreaker, and I fell in love with him. This conversation happened between me and my friends, just changed the setting and the names. :P

Ninja Turtles:

Mnemosyne: I'm having fun playing with the turtles' heads, seeing as they would all react differently to having their memories siphoned. I think this is one of the few stories that I have planned out to the end.

Halloween: This was based off I dream I had. I'm thinking it's because of all the movies I watched that weekend-Letters to Juliet, Tuck Everlasting, Hunchback of Notre Dame (twice), Cradle, Sleepwalkers, I am Legend, and How to Save a Life.

Justice League:

Gotham God: I wrote a poem about Justice Lord Batman, based on a strange dream I had that I was a terrorist with super powers trying to bring down the tyrannic reign of the Justice Lords. For the poem, I eliminated the super powers and made the OC a "normal" human trying to do the right thing. Yes, I believe in small government, even though technically the Lords are not government heads.

Important note: My stories are not DEAD. I repeat: My stories are not DEAD! I just have yet to balance college life with fanfiction. I am now schooling myself into writing at least a paragraph a day in order to get some of these things updated. I do not know when I will update anything, but I promise, I have at least one-third of the next chapter of Unexpected written in my notebook. I promise to make it extra long just for an apology for its lateness. Same for Mnemosyne. That is all.

I don't mind constructive criticism or suggestions on how to make my works better. I can't become a better author if I don't know what to improve. My job is to entertain my readers, so tell me how to entertain you. :)

I'm looking for beta readers for all the categories I'm writing for. If you are interested, please let me know.

Also, I'm looking to branch out my writing game to other fandoms. If you are interested, let me know. I need at least four other people interested in one fandom for me to create a new branch. It has to be a fandom I am familiar with, but I am familiar with many fandoms that I don't write for. Just ask and I'll let you know.

My Fanfiction etiquette:

1) I try to review everything I read. I wish most authors on this site practiced this. Usually what I do is type whatever thought comes in my head while reading a fanfic. This is why most of my reviews seemed jumbled. However, sometimes I read something, and it doesn't provoke any thought from me whatsoever. For those fanfics, usually I leave an "Awesome, update soon" review. Sometimes, I cannot even make it through a story, and I don't leave a review for those. That's just how I do things.

2) I solemnly swear that I will never write a flame, but I may write some constructive criticism. The difference between the two is that CC will explain how to improve your story, whereas a flame would only say "this sucks." If you can't differentiate the two, perhaps you are not mature enough to be on this site. No one on this site is the perfect author; everyone has places where s/he needs to improve. I am trying to help you write to your full potential.

3) I leave the option for PMs open because I would like for others to have the ability to talk out their side of their opinion. It seems very childish for someone to eliminate the ability of others to defend and explain themselves. If you don't like a review I've given you, talk to me about it. I will further explain what I meant to say (since I probably didn't explain myself properly), and I will read your side. We will talk like mature adults, and after everything is said, one of us will either agree with the other or we will agree to disagree.

4) I like it when I receive a review, so I make it a habit of reviewing my reviewers' stories. It's my way of saying "thank you." (That and I almost immediately reply to the review saying "thank you.") If you have reviewed one of my stories, but I didn't review any of yours, it's probably because a) you haven't written any stories, b) you have written all your stories for fandoms I don't read, c) all the stories written in the fandoms I read are slash.

5) If you review anonymously, don't expect me to answer your question(s), because I don't know how. While I appreciate the review, I can't answer it. Thanks for the review, anyway. :)

6) If I like more than three of your stories, you automatically are placed in my favorite authors list. The stories, when I do house cleaning, will be removed from my favorite stories list for space purposes.

7) I try to keep my favorite stories list short, because no one wants to go through a list of 200 stories from an author you probably don't care about. Every once and a while, I weed out stories and try to obtain a favorite stories list between 50 and 60 stories. Sorry if I removed one of your stories by process of elimination.

8) I try to write something that would be interesting to read. I really would like your input on how I'm doing on this. If it is not interesting, then tell how it can be. Don't flame. I find nothing in improving my writing from flames.

9) While I would like for good fanfiction to be posted, I do not condone sending many "bad" stories to the admins to be deleted. That's rude. If you have a problem with a story, talk to the author first. The only exception to this rule are the troll stories that have no merit whatsoever. I believe in the power of balance. If one group wants to be Nazis, then there should be a group in place to keep them in check. Don't freak out and leave the site. Nothing is accomplished.
