About Me

Name: Lisa
Age: 19. Ouch.
Location: Chatham, Ontario

3 years. That's how long I've been here. From the time I was just shy of 16 to 19 years of age. Ack. Stating that, if you were to look at all of my work you'd notice a huge change (I'm hoping, at least) when it comes to my writing. A lot of mistakes I need to clear up. And I can only find these errors through the help of you, the reader. Constructive Criticism is what I search for as a writer.

There's not a lot to know about me in reality. I'm a closet romantic; I think it kind of startled my brother when he was reading my stuff to see what I exactly thought of. I aim to build those bridges that never existed and fill in those blanks that shows leave behind. I get inspiration from the stupidest things in the world, as well as songs. I'm also still a child at heart. Who really wants to grow up?

I'm also a very shy person. So... when I first joined I rarely replied to people who reviewed me. Plus, anytime I tried to reply to people the site would freeze for my computer. But that's all in the past and I try my best to reply to everyone, regardless of my shyness. Or my computer spazzing out. If you give me something to work with, you'll end up getting a message from me. Probably a paragraph or so long. Maybe six. XP I really am shy though... I just never know how to shut up when I'm typing.

I haven't left the site, in case you're worried. Which you're not. I'm hoping, anyway. 6 months for an update is crazy, I know. Rest assured Loose Lips is still in progress. And I'll be writing more as of late. I love the plot line too much to let it die.

Picture: If you need to know anything about me, it's that I love MaxxMariam. My OTP.

Other Sites I Belong To...

Xanga - My blog. Haven't updated it recently.

Fictionpress - I might put up my Writer's Craft assignments here soon. 100 plus hits for nothing.

Fixed the links here finally, God only knows how long they didn't go anywhere.

What I Write/Writing Style

Category: Beyblade. Hopefully more in the future.

Genres: Romance, Humor. Oftentimes, a combination. Plus Friendship, I like to dabble in that as well.

Comfort Zones: Rating wise, I'm pretty much a 'K' for the most part. Mainly 'cause I stray away from Lemons and the like. And although I don't mind reading swearing (if the author doesn't go crazy overboard), I don't use it much in my works. Too much of it takes away from the written work, I feel.

No yaoi or yuri from me. Don't get me wrong though, I have absolutely nothing against it.

Completion Rules: Updates, for chapters, now take about a month to do. That is why I only do one chaptered fanfiction at a time. The only excuse for this is because I have high expectations - which is good enough, if you ask me. I edit my own stuff, par from when I ask my brother to check over oneshots. Oh, and hiatuses are possible, though they're unlikely. Like most, I find them annoying.

My Works
Listed in chronological order of being uploaded, this just provides more room for an in-depth summary. That and I can say a bunch of useless stuff I don't think needs to be shoved within the piece itself - ie. time frame (although I'm hoping for the most part, that is quite obvious). Anyway, everything I write here is solely for here only - meaning it's exclusive.

Teacher's Revenge - Miss Kincaid feels that she is going insane because of two of her students' constant bickering, so she uses her occupation and the power that comes in hand with it to put a stop to their petty fights. A small strand in math, probability, is going to assist her in the battle for her sanity... Now where did she put those handcuffs? TyHil, also my first fanfic here, and for that it will hold a special place in my heart. Post V Force, Previous to G Rev. Beyblade. Completed.

Look, Register and Ignore - It's amazing how some people who live miles away are sometimes closer than those who are just down the street. Tyson comes to realize that friendship isn't always identical when he sees an old friend, Andrew, in a grocery store. A talk with Hilary as they wander down the aisles opens his mind to the reality about friendship and how hello is such an important word. Friendship fic, One-shot. Two years after Andrew disappears in the series. No pairings intended; depends on how you interpret it. Beyblade.

As The Stars Call - They seemed brighter these evenings, inviting almost, reaching out towards him with promise. But they weren't what necessarily made him stay. After recollections of his past and a decision, Tyson decides to see why the stars are insisting he venture outside only to awaken Hilary. Somewhat random. TyHil One-shot. Post G Rev. Beyblade.

Just Shy of Flawless - Just because he wasn't like a lot of her other fans, didn't mean he wasn't one. As Julia is wandering around the circus grounds during her post show ritual an unexpected fan approaches her. That's basically all I can say. First non-TyHil thing I've ever written here, whoo! Post G Rev. One-shot. TalaxJulia. Beyblade.

Til Next Time - Because rain isn't always wanted, and goodbyes aren't always final. Tyson is being driven to the airport to leave his hometown by one of his closest friends, and on the way he contemplates whether or not he really wants to leave. I am very proud of this one-shot, I think it holds a lot of depth. One-shot. Drama apparently. TyHil friendship and/or romance. Post G Rev by a few years. Beyblade.

Scraped Knees - Brothers, you don't always understand them. Injuring himself, Tyson confides in his brother for help. Hiro has other plans, rather than enabling the young boy, he attempts to teach his sibling a few life lessons. A little tribute to the Granger brothers, looking into the past before Hiro left the dojo. According to my Math, 8 years roughly before the first season. One-shot. Family. Beyblade.

Loose Lips - Every year she was asked the one question that made her angry: Do you have a boyfriend yet? Yet? Well what else could she do to shut them up... Hilary just wished she hadn't spoken so soon, or said his name. TyHil, second chaptered fanfiction, I don't want to give anything away, but it's an odd concept. Also, implied MaxxMariam (When there's a Max, there's a reference XP). Post G Rev. Beyblade.

Shattered - They just needed someone to put them back together. Max, after having helped saved the Beyblade world as we know it (aka The whole BEGA ordeal), has time to think to himself; the thoughts that occur to him have just caught him off guard. He finds himself at a certain Amusement Park, remembering those that have gone and what they meant to him. Angst-tastic! Post G Rev. One-shot. MaxxMariam. Beyblade.

The Best Medicine - The I in illness is isolation, the crucial letters in wellness are we. For the first time in her life, she's glad he doesn't listen. Having the flu, Hilary wakes up to find Tyson to standing over her; and for some reason... he refuses to leave. Post G Rev. Romance. TyHil. One-shot. Beyblade.

On the Back Roads - If you're having a bad day, what better to cheer you up than a clown? Because of Kai, Tala ended up driving some of his team mates to the airport... unfortunately the rental car he paid for breaks down, leaving him stranded in the middle of nowhere. It's just his luck that the only vehicle around belongs to a certain travelling circus. Will he learn to appreciate the bright side of the world? Post G Rev. Romance. TalaxJulia. One-shot. Beyblade.

Sunset Pirouettes - Little did they know, they were both scared of falling. The "enemy" has lead Max to the top of a building regardless of his new found fear of heights. Anytime Post V Force. Romance. MaxxMariam. Oneshot/Drabble Thing. Fairly Short and Sickly Sweet. Beyblade.

The Answer That Could Never Be Found - Hilary notices when something happens to one of her boys. Max has went through some changes since an incident caused him to be stuck within a building; not understanding why this would alter him so, Hilary starts keeping an eye on the blond. She realizes, by chance, that a certain blue haired girl has also left a number on him. Mid V Force to post G Rev. Romance/Angst. HilaryxMaxxMariam. Some KaixHilary. Oneshot. Beyblade.

Between The Lines - Words never said are sometimes the most heard, and private matters can't always help but become public affairs. Max and Mariam are out for a meal and a rather annoyed individual keeps butting into their business. Choking on pop, ruffling news papers and a pair trying to figure out what exactly has been going on between them after all this time. Post G Rev. Romance/Humor. MaxxMariam. Oneshot. Beyblade.

Over Her Head - She was just his classmate, scooped up into a whirlwind that was apparently his life with a wistful scream that escaped her mouth a little too willingly. Classifying the point where Tyson and Hilary actually become friends in V Force - where the nickname Hil springs up in the middle of the season. Post Psykick Battle Tower. Pre New York Rock Stealing. Drama/Friendship. Slight TysonxHilary. Oneshot. Beyblade.

Break Apart - Rehearsed dialogue doesn't mean a thing. Knock, Knock. Who's There? Mariam. Mariam, who? Mariam: the girl who's hugging your son in the doorway... maybe you should do something about that. XD Post G Rev. Romance. MaxxMariam. Oneshot or Drabble.

Chances - Kissing. It can end with a bloody nose if you're a few years older than the girl of your dreams. Some are just born to test the odds. Max has the chance to be a stalker and uses it to try to convince Mariam they both have feelings for each other. She doesn't seem to think so and is quite vocal about it. Post V Force. Pre G Rev. Romance/Drama. MaxMariam Oneshot. Beyblade.

Pairings And The Glory
I absolutely adore the following...

This thing was huge... so I definitely chopped it up some. It may be of some interest... but nobody cares that much. So I'll keep up a few with an explanation, and then have a misc. section for Beyblade and Digimon.

Beyblade:
TysonxHilary - Brought me into the show and then into fanfiction. Love them to death.
MaxxMariam - This is why I love V Force. Seriously. Adorable. Gush worthy. Episode 87 is my personal Heaven.
TalaxJulia - Introduced to the concept by my friend MePo and have liked them ever since.

Misc: RayxMariah, DaichixMingMing, KennyxEmily, KaixMariah, RaulxMathilda, MiguelxMathilda, MaxxHilary, RickxMariah, RayxSalima, KanexSalima, etc.

Yu-Gi-Oh:
JoeyxMai (Polarshipping) - Obvious. Angsty as heck though. 9 years apart isn't that bad. XP
YugixTea (Peachshipping) - Yugi's crush is highly amusing, as is the pairing. Overall, it's just sweetness.
TristanxSerenityxDuke (Crushshipping) - Always makes my day.

Digimon:
DavisxKari (Daikari) - I always root for the goggled boys. Probably my fave pairing from the show.
TaixMimi (Michi) - Absolutely adorable. Absolutely amusing. Absolutely addictive.
TakuyaxZoey (Takumi) - Loved it from the first episode of season four. The dub kinda made it obvious.

Misc: RikaxTakato (Rukato), IzzyxMimi (Koumi), MattxMimi (Mimato), TaixSora (Taiora), JPxZoey (Junzumi), etc.

Pokemon:
AshxMisty (AAML) - They don't make Pokemon girls like they used to. I seriously miss this pairing. Undeniable.
JunxHikari/BarryxDawn (Twinleafshipping) - I'm gonna have to fine you if you don't like this pairing. Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven... XD

I detest one pairing...

Kai/Mariam - hate it with a passion, won't ever like it, will never read it. It actually makes me sick... and I didn't know a pairing had that kind of ability over people like that. Don't bother me with this fact (like... getting on my case for not liking it, I mean), and we'll be grand.

I Know These People, XD

Stewart MacDonald -- This is Alasdair, one of my best friends. He writes for Mario, Zelda, Shadow Man (good game), Super Smash Brothers, and game crossovers. It probably would've been easier just to say video games, but meh. He's also on Fictionpress though, amazing songs and original works, his name is also Stewart MacDonald there (meaning his real name. Well... his real, real name).

emmiiee'ox -- This is Emma Lea, my other best friend. She writes for the wrestling category, and I read to the best of my abilities 'cause I'm not really a fan of the genre... so I'm in it for the plots. She's also on Fictionpress, has two pieces up so far, her name is Reject Code.

Unfunny Joke -- This is Shawn, my brother. He writes for the Teen Titans category... usually it surrounds his 'ship: Raveast. I beta a lot of his stuff, and he does the same for me (except solely oneshots for myself). Down Came the Rain is on my favourites, I think it's one of his best. Aww Worthy.

FanFic Updates/News (July 4, 2009 - 8:00 pm)

Started a another job a few days ago where I spend a lot of time alone scanning, printing and sorting things for my Doctor. While there, I also murmur the words of a Cheese Whiz commerical (something about personality and how we're gonna love it...?) or a song from Phineas and Ferb where they want to be a one hit wonder (Bow Chica Wow Wow, That's What My Baby Said...). Oh, and that Boom Boom Pow or whatever song by the Black Eyed Peas when I was putting things in chronological order. "You're so 2008..." Wow.

77 for my final in Writer's Craft. My mark plummeted. Hopefully it doesn't effect my potential Scholarship capabilities too much. 89 average overall for the year. First time around Grade 12 was better.
