Revamping my profile.

Requim. It's supposed to be spelled requiem. It means something along lines of the final most crucial moment.

I'm seventeen. I live in Texas, but I consider myself a Canadian since I was born there. That's all you're going to get.

The only manga I've read all the way through would be Black Cat.. or BC as you'll see me and others reference it. My !favorite! couple obviously being Trainslet. _Trains/Rins_ One day..over the rainbow.. I will include fics that support Evon _Eve/Leon_ and Teaven _Tiayou/Sven_ I swear to the FSM that I don't know how to spell that woman's name. Tiayou. Tearju. Tiaju. Tearyou. I've seen everything. I'm going to go with Tearju from now on. It's how I pronounce it.

My cartoon crack will forever be X-Men Evolution.. I'll be a brotherhood groupie till the day I die. I just can't get enough of the twins' angst either. At the moment I'm obsessed with Avatar.. that will pass. Zutara. Taang, I guess, and Sokka can be with anybody since I don't really care. The idea of everybody pairing up in a certain fic bothers me. It seems too fake. But there are a lot of people who can write stuff like that really good so... ya. Kudos for you.

You should read the fics by my beta, Cryptic_Angel. She's amazing. And puts up with me.

Favorite quote, made up by her.. "Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, but wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad."

Completed Fics:

By Candlelight: My first oneshot. I'm not that proud of it, but it did get my name out there, and helped me get a better grasp of the characters. Mostly fluffy until it gets to strangely serious for its own good at the end.

Lover for A Day: I consider this fic my baby. I worked on it so hard.. and it still had typos. If you're going to read any of my fics.. read that one. It's the one I like the most. I think its the mix of action that made it better. It's about a ball that Rinslet needs a date too, Rins tricking Train into being said date, Eve getting her wings, and everything going up in smoke when the host's pet dinosaur gets loose.

My Mother's Bracelet: Sorry to all my BC reviewers :cough, but when inspiration strikes what do you expect me to do? It feels nice to have a little bit of variety in my arsenal. It was an idea that somehow got written down. It's about Leena's date with Harry and Bit being the waiter at the restaurant, and the two of them accidentally catching Harry on fire, but with a whole different shade. It includes an insight into both of their histories, and hopefully comes across as creating a deep bond between them. It turns out that this isn't based on an episode. After rewatching them all I realized this was either a figment of my imagination or I read a paragraph that went something like it in a fic and it became this monster. It's a bit depressing that Harry never caught on fire. Something strange, however, is that Leena DOES have a silver non-descript bracelet that she always wears. I swear on any religious book, the FSM, and the Universe that I completely and totally made up the part about the bracelet.. and it turns out I was actually referencing something from the show! Imagine that coincidence!

Remember When: I've based this fic off of the book Remember When. Don't look it up and/or read it, because that just ruins the plot. It's placed the characters in the real world with different pasts, and lacking that anime spin to it. No nano-machines. No best-fighter-in-the-world. No sweepers, Time Guardians, murdered Saya, or Apostle's of the Stars. But Rins is a thief. (Creed is the bad guy, Train's after him, and Janus and Rinslet have a theiving past together. Eve is Rins's dog (eh). Sven is a cop and Tearju is his pregnant wife.)

Working On:

Pause Rewind Rethink: I've been writing this forever and I'm still on chapter five. I'm slow at updating it, but that doesn't mean I've abandoned it. Bear with me folks. Its incredibly long and tends to be dark and confusing, which makes it hard to write, therefore few chapters. I want to curb that a bit but that hasn't worked out as of yet. 7/26/08 I've only got the main fight scene left to write. Optimistically one day left. Most likely two.

Falling Down the Well: This is on Hiatus. It was fic my brother and I wrote in collaboration. Unfortunately, there really is no reason to type it up on here. It takes too much time that I don't have to fix our grammar, lacking dialogue, and random plot lines. Basically it was written where one of us would write a page and then pass it on. It was for our amusement/practice and doesn't sound good in story-format. Basically Yusuke and them fell down the well into Inuyasha's time where they find out Hiei's sister was captured by Naraku because her tears were Philosophers Stone's and gave the wielder unimaginable power. The whole time nobody knows if Sesshomeru is good or evil, since I prefer to think of him as good, and my brother, evil. The character wavers back and forth at each page. There was no romance, which ruined the only intrigue it would hold for me. My brother is quite obviously not a girl and is not amused by it. There's just a lot of things wrong with it. And I'm pretty sure no one cares because no one's reading this to hear about Yu Yu Hakasho or Inuyasha.

Postscript: I hope I spelled everything right.
