Words – so innocent and powerless as they are, as standing in a dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of one who knows how to combine them. ~Nathaniel Hawthorne

Harrlo, people! I actually appreciate greetings so I’m giving you all my birthday, it’s on August 30. My name, it also starts with letter A. I have a huge collection of printed fanfictions. Homepage is my blogging site, which talks just about absolutely anything. :)

Link: Imagination: Unleashed Forums. Join us guys! We're friendly and crazy and super. :D

My say about:

The fics I write. I know I’m not a great author, really. I make mistakes out of simple things but I know I can write. Right? Though my fanfics are nowhere near perfect, I at least put an effort to make them readable. I love writing drabbles because it's less depressing to write. It's fun and light and I just love it. I love writing. But I don’t like writing under time pressure. Writing with deadlines really don't suit me. But yeah, I love writing.

The reviews I get. I love every single review I receive. I appreciate constructive criticisms and those reviewers who point out my mistakes. I love reviews which give me inspiration to write more. But flamers who don’t know what they’re talking about be damned.

The fics I read. I love reading. So much. Reading is fun, and I seriously prefer reading over writing. But anyway, I read stories with catchy summaries and not common titles. So writers out here should really make their summaries well-written since it showcases the totality of their fic. Also, I read fics with good reviews. Good reviews that are written by smart-talker reviewers. I love angst-y stories when it comes to shounen-ai. Just simply irresistible.

The reviews I give. I say what I want to say. I point out this and that stuff. I give compliments. I give suggestions. I tell the author what’s off and what’s good and what’s awesome. Because you see, sometimes, it’s easier to correct the works of others than of your own. Like, really. That’s why beta-readers have beta-readers, too. Anyway, I don't review every fic I read. It's just that, usually, my way of reading fanfictions is by printing them and I'm too damn lazy to go back to the story and review every time I go online. BUT I go back to the story and my give review if it's really beautiful. Printing is better than worsening Global Warming. Haha. And the radiation, too. /shot!

My favorite stories and my C2. Well, stories in my fave list are really my favorites. While stories in my C2 (Reading is Love) are the stories that I’ve already read and liked. They’re good, too. And sometimes, I have this little consultation with myself whether to put a story in my fave or in my C2. The fic consultation requires minutes of self-talking, or sometimes it takes days. Yeah, I’m crazy like that.

My favorite authors. Mostly, the authors in my list of favorite have at least four stories in my favorite stories list. Or sometimes, only one story in my list but a very, very beautiful one.

My favorite pairings. I love them so muchiez (read them below). And when I really support a pairing, I'm loyal, and I support them forever.

Favorite Fandoms. Prince of Tennis, Twilight, Death Note.

Sort of. La Corda d'Oro.

Favorite Pairings. Ryoma/Sakuno (Prince of Tennis), Edward/Bella (The Twilight Saga), Tezuka/Fuji (Prince of Tennis), Mello/Matt (Death Note).

Sort of. Len/Kahoko (La Corda d'Oro), Kei/Hikari (Special A), Derek/Meredith (Grey's Anatomy), Natsume/Mikan (Gakuen Alice). I usually support Canon pairings. :)

Have I tried:

Reading yaoi. Yes. And I support yaoi. This, of course, goes for shounen-ai as well. Though I admit that real-life BL irks me. But yeah, I support fictional Boy Love. And when I say BoyxBoy, I really mean BoyxBoy. AND NOT BOYxGAY. (Do I make sense?)

Reading yuri. Yes. Once on FictionPress.com and I absolutely have no plans on reading again.

Reading fics with age gaps. Yes. Good example is a fic written by neko11lover, The Gigolo. But the gap isn't that super high. But yeah, a fic with age gap still.

Reading lemons. Good lemons (that have sense) are really good. Like, swear!

Reading beasty. /Bestiality/ The answer? No. NEVER. Eww.

Reading pedo. /Pedophile/ Yes. Once on FictionPress again. But there's no real it written in the fic but they were about to do it. You get what I mean, right?

Reading M!Preg. /Male Pregancy/ NEVER. AS IN. Okay, I support BL but it's just that the babies. The babies! Babies deform the hot bodies of my drool-worthy bishounens. So nooo.

Reading incest. Yes and it's actually a book. They're just cousins, so yeah.

Stopping myself to read a fic. Uh huh. And the pair? Edward/Alice of Twilight. I know, I know. But the summary was really catchy. It took me days to actually stop tempting myself to read it.

So I'm ending my profile right here. And as a famous line goes: You can freely PM me if you'd like to ask something, I don't bite! And I love making new friends, too. :D

Love,
A.
