This update is as of: 07/16/09

Obviously you want to know about me, otherwise you would have gone on to my stories and not have stayed here to read this. So, in order to not keep you too long, I will try to keep this short while at the same time giving you the information you are wanting to read.

I am just a southern girl venting her thoughts and feelings through fanfiction. I will often times mix my own thoughts and feelings into an OC's or a canon-character, as a way to vent some steam but also to make them more believeable. I like to take traits of my family and friends and add them to what I write to make the scenarios more lifelike and believeable.

I am learning to step out of my comfort zone and be a bit bolder in my life, searching relentlessly for common ground with my family to hold more conversations in. Once you get me started on the right subject, I can be very talkative; it would be nice to use some of that ability with my family, yes? Common ground, first. Must find common ground, common subject of interest. Naturally, I have dirty blonde hair, but right now I have it died a dark red-brown colour; however, that's about halfway grown out of my hair by now. My age? Young(er) growing old(er). You may call me Aimme or Raina, whichever you wish.

I have a wide range of fandoms including Lord of the Rings, Matrix, Final Fantasy, Pirates of the Carribean, Star Wars, Bloody Jacky, and Eragon, to name a few. I like crossovers and have a few ideas for some, if I can ever get around to writing them. I write in many genres, but never slash or smut; I've no interest in the two, and I'm not remorseful about it.

I am a Christian, a true follower of Christ as the name meant in the beginning, so you will find that my beliefs have and will be incorporated into my stories, some more so than others. I just cannot help it. A writer writes what she knows and believes, and it would be no different than if I believed in Hinduism (no offense to any Hindus, it is just an example) and those beliefs bled over into my stories. I try not to be too direct and up-in-your-face with those beliefs, and I do not wish to offend anyone with what I believe coming out in subtle ways in my stories.

Remember to review, smile, and live life to the fullest! Enjoy my stories!

I have removed all but the first chapter of Lear (I would have taken it all down, but I didn't want to lose those precious reviews!), as it is all under revision. I am hoping soon to get it all fixed up and re-uploaded, but you know how that can go. Especially when I am up to my head in schoolwork, family activities, and other writings. I feel like I am being pulled six different directions (as my mom is fond of saying) with my writing, but I LOVE it! All these people wanting more to this, and more to that; I enjoy it! It helps me to know that I do have talent, and am not just casting my pearls before swine!!I have also removed A Journey To Cirith Ungol as I did not like the plot; I love the name and will probably use it for something else, but do not be expecting more to the one that I did have posted. While it was a nice idea, indeed would have started a series, I don't like how some of it was going, and have decided to remove it completely. I hope I did not disappoint someone. I'm sorry Hope and Love, but the story was going downhill fast, and I couldn't get it set right.

News/About - stories I have written:
Laer - Under MAJOR revision, please do not read it until I have fixed the first chapter all up.
A Journey to Cirith Ungol - Has been removed completely from the site, see above notes for reasons.
Moments - I'm trying to write more, but Cloud and Tifa are arguing over the next chapter, so I haven't been able to write much to it.
Unlike Themselves - Finished! If I ever write more, it will be a sequel.
Waterfights - Finished!
Weigh Upon The Heart - Finished!
On the Shores of Home - Finished!
Silentin - Finished!
Yours To Hold - Finished!
It Is Tradition - Finished! Though I am thinking of writing an epilogue.
Fair Friend - Finished! I am more than just a little bit considering writing a sequel, look for it coming soon!
Cold And Bitter - Finished! Some say it's a bit of a cliffy ending, so I may write a sequel but I haven't decided yet.
To Be Willing To Die For - Finished! I wrote an epilogue to it because of some requests.
Another Day, Another Meeting - Finished!
Rectify and Remit - Finished!
If He Stayed Still - Finished!
Pale Moon and Sky - Finished!
Cellar: To Beat The Heat - Finished!

Warning: Flames will not be accepted and you will be reported immediatly. And if you are one of those people that like to flame, live to flame, you should seriously go to your bed and rethink your life. But constructive criticism is fine and will be welcomed. If you read my stories and don't like them, go ahead and review and let me know (nicely) that you didn't like it and why, that way I know that my stories are being read.

Trivial Matters:

I made a banner for Silentin, which can be seen here: http://s14.photobucket.com/albums/a346/spriteremix333/?action=view¤t=Silentinbanner.jpg (you may have to copy and paste the address into your web-browser address bar)
Tira made a banner for Waterfights, which can be found here: http://s14.photobucket.com/albums/a346/spriteremix333/?action=view¤t=waterfights20banner.jpg
And she also made a banner for On the Shores of Home, which can be seen here:

This site is version 4.0 of the MCInsanity site that I used to have these stories marked with a link to; this new version I am one of the administrators of, and will be helping to keep the site up-to-date. It is coming along very nicely; it is clean and easy to use, and is updated frequently and being added to all the time! I know, I am one of the administrators and therefore biased, but feel free to check it out for yourself! Please, look around on it, if for nothing else than to stumble across some of the other great stories hosted there, written by such authors (you may be familiar with) as Kelenloth, ElfPen (SG), Nosterineth, Tira Archer, That Tath, AJ, Lindelas, the shadow proves the sunshine, and many more!
