Okay, well, it's
been a good
while since I
last decorated
my profile, so
here goes:

Version 4.0...

But now watch as I rise to a whole new height,
And now my battle cry will be heard all night...

--"Shadow Games" by Trixie Reiss,
Yugioh! The Movie Soundtrack

I have a name, but knowing it is irrelevant because here on ff.n we have a
little something called a 'pen name.' I'm in college, but have no idea what I'll
end up getting a degree in. To make up for this I just take as many general
classes that I can. I have fangirl tendencies, and a hunger for fanfiction that
is never satisfied. I aspire to be something great in life, whatever that may be.
I love creative writing, even though I believe my own abilities to be mediocre,
at best. Anime is something that an older friend of mine got me into when I
was but a wee middle schooler, and I've not got out of it since. I enjoy watch-
ing Death Note, Digimon, YuYu Hakusho, Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, Burst Angel,
Claymore, Serial Experiments Lain, and FLCL. My music taste is rounded to all
ends of the spectrum - rock, pop, classical, jazz, hip-hop, country, techno, and
metal. Feel free to e-mail me if you wanna chat. I check it at leat once every day.

I have two main fandoms that I currently write stories for, and those are Yugioh!
and Gundam: SEED. I heart Yami Bakura. He is the jelly to my peanut butter. He
also tastes best when paired with Yami Yugi. Darkshipping = OTP. I've been a
member of ff.n since 2003, I think, and a fan of Yugioh just as long, so at least I
can say I've been around the block enough to know what I'm talking about. I am
a night owl though, so I tend to post all of my stories during the late hours. I
don't see myself giving up fanfiction any time soon, so no worries there either. I
think that's all I have to say for now.

Ja ne,

I am falling, I am fading, I am drowning
Help me to breathe
I am hurting, I have lost it all, I am losing
Help me to breathe

--"Duvet" by BOA,
Theme song for Serial Experiments Lain

Here are some of the authors I've met on this site who have not only inspired
me to become a better writer, but have also inspired me to be a better person:

Cassandra Cassidy

Snare-chan

RobinRocks and Narroch

Phoenix From The Ashes

Thank you guys; you're the heroes of the of the underground.

Explanation/Apology:
Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be updating any of my earlier fics anymore (like
Artemis Fowl: Blue Eyes or Black Eyes of AI). Sorry... The muses for them are
long dead and gone. However, if I decide to write them over, I will update them
with new chapters. But only if. Sorry again - I know there were probably still a few
people out there who were interested in my crazy stories. Maybe someday...

Updates:

May 3, 2009
I have started a new Yugioh fanfic (since my serious swamp-fic about Jou has
completely died, as most of my stories do before I can get them off the ground).
This new fanfic comes with a catch; new chapters will not be posted until I am
AT LEAST three chapters ahead. I'm sick of never finishing anything, so I'm try-
ing something less ambitious. I hope it works. This work-in-progress is still very
new, though, so it may be a while before I get to that three chapter mark. Happy
fanficcing!

Posted a Darkshipping one-shot. I like it, despite its uber-uber-shortness. Oh
yeah, I also posted a Puppyshipping one-shot, too. Somethin' for everybody, I
guess.

Bakura-centric one-shot posted. I love him so much... To be a psychotic villain,
he sure does make you want to cuddle him and give him lots of kissies. This
one explores how he might have reacted if he actually had a conscience &
realized how evil he truly had been in the past. My interpretation was that the
cemetery symbolized him going insane, not necessarily 'dying.' (Because seri-
ously, who's gonna die from a dream? And then there's shadow magic...o.O)
Please feel free to give me your thoughts and opinions on my loveable favor-
ite character. =D

A new darkshipping fanfic, posted for anyone who wants to give it a few minutes
of their time. It's basically a battle between Bakura and Yami that sets up a deal
in which the winner gets what they want. I've promised a lemon in the second
half if I get enough reviews and feel up to writing it. If you're into that, you
should check it out.

Good news and bad news, folks. The bad news is that my motherboard got fried
in a thunderstorm and I no longer have a desktop computer. The good news is
that my harddrive was spared, and all of my stories are fine; I just have no
current way of working on them. Some more good news is that I have ordered
a laptop that should arrive this weekend. I'm sorry for the delay, but I promise
to post the one I mentioned last week as soon as Cassandra Cassidy finishes
reading it.

The lastest and greatest (in my opinion) of my darkshipping stories has just
been posted. If CC agreed that it was a fun and interesting idea (and she did)
then it must be a downright dandy little fanfic. Feel free to give it a glance-
over.
