About My Writing:

I like to write. A lot. I also like to read. A lot.

As you can see from my profile, my first fandom was pretty much Yu Yu Hakusho, an anime chock full of guys shooting energy beams at each other, girls standing around on the sidelines looking useless, and all kinds of, "No, you can't help him! It's a matter of honor!" stuff going on. I loved it, I still love it. I have the heart of a twelve-year-old boy, I think. (Although, I do wish the girls were less useless in shounen anime.)

I have moved on to a variety of fandoms, whether I am reading or writing. Most times, you will see me dabbling in the Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy VII section, but I've been known to leave one-shots in other fandoms like litter on the side of the road.

I am a writer and reader of crack pairings. Most times, canonical romances don't appeal to me, for some reason. I just want to try something new every time. Unfortunately for my poor little fingers, if there's a fic that hasn't been written, I often take it upon myself to write it, like it's some sort of mission. That's why I end up having stuff that was supposed to be a one-shot turning into novel-length baby whales.

Yuffie is my FFVII fandom bicycle. I pair her with everyone (on two legs and with flesh and blood -- sorry, Red XIII). I love Yuffie, and she is my favorite character to write. I think she adds an interesting dynamic to any relationship.

As far as genre goes, you'll see that my fanfictions are pairing-centric, but I'd like to think I'm not all about the romance. I do so enjoy a good horror fic (please, send them my way if they're spine-tingling), and comedy is my bread and butter. Fight scenes are a special joy for me to write as well, so you'll see at least a little action in most of my fics.

I truly enjoy honest feedback. If you've got con-crit for me, deliver it. If I don't follow that con-crit, consider it a failing on my part. I'm used to it with a beta like VulcanElf. That girl is deliciously vicious and awesomely honest.

Fandoms and Pairings I Return To Frequently:

I am sometimes a creature of habit. I adore Samurai Champloo - it is, to me, perfect in every way. My favorite anime. I am planning a novel-length fic of the Mugen/Fuu variety for it. I have been a fan of the Snape/Hermione pairing in Harry Potter for a while, and I still read fics of that persuasion today. Auron/Rikku appeals to me (and Mengde as well if the fic we're cowriting is any indicator) from Final Fantasy X, and I've been known to hunt around for Repo! the Genetic Opera Graverobber/Shilo fics. This is, by no means, all that I read, so if you randomly find a fic of yours on my favorites list, don't be surprised.

About Me:

I am currently eighteen years old, female, and I have been writing on an amateur level for five years. I am soon to be a freshman in college, and I am very excited about that fact =D. I like strange people, strange places, and strange things. I am a lover of food, the arts, and good-looking men (so sue me, I'm shallow like the rest of the world). I have been called eccentric before. One of my primary joys in life is making people laugh. If I've made you laugh, by all means, let me know.

GENESIS AWARDS

See that link? WE HAVE NEW FORUMS! AND OUR OWN WEBSITE! That is a link to a forum where fans of Final Fantasy VII nominate fanfiction for awards and recognition, and it is, subsequently, judged for how well it is written, etc. I am a judge there (same penname), and we talk about fanfiction, general Final Fantasy, writing, and all sorts of every day things as well.

Anyone who is a reader or writer of Final Fantasy VII fanfiction should visit the Genesis Awards forums and take a looksee, really. I post there regularly if you find yourself YEARNING for my company (kidding) and there are a lot of neat people there. You can nominate fics, get fanfiction help, and talk about the various Final Fantasies.

Seriously, take a look, at least.
