So, I was Cherise the Great before. BUT, I forgot my password, and so, I had to make a whole new account. And, now, I actually remembered it, but I've already made this one, so...I've decided to move my stories from there, to here, The Ordinary Girl. I hope that clears something up, though I'm almost certain that someone will tell me "OH YOU'RE COPYING, IT'S NOT ALLOWED!!" sometime, if not soon.

A little about moi

I live in Canada, well, you prolly know that since its under my username! I am a teenager, but I won't tell you my real age, since I don't want someone stalking me... I love making graphics, and drawing. As you can see, I write fan fiction as well, but I'm not sure I'm that great at it... Let's just say that I want to improve!

Music-wise... I like HANSON (YES, YES, YES!!), Westlife, Plain White T's, My Chemical Romance, and I can't think of more right now... :D

TV Shows - I LURVE House, HEROES and Friends

Manga/Anime - I love Naruto and Bleach and, AND DEATH NOTE (YES YES YES!)

Comic - Calvin and Hobbes, Pearls Before Swine, and good ol' classic Garfield. Oh, and sometimes Peanuts!

Last Cookie
summary: It was the last cookie in the jar. Except it wasn’t. In a jar, I mean. It was the last chocolate chip cookie in my most favourite bakery in the whole world. And he stole it from me. Cue the violin tremolos.

F A Q of Jacob Black? (first faq of the story, I don’t think there will be another one though)
I’m taking some time in this chapter to answer some questions/things! Mind you, I’m not pointing fingers at anyone, I just think I should answer some things, to clear things up. These are not exact wordings anyway.

I think Bella should come in. / Will Bella be coming in the story any time soon?
Um, I don’t think I really want Bella coming back in. I have considered and reconsidered having Bella pop in for a chapter or two, but it just really doesn’t work for what I have in mind. I’m sort of afraid to even hint at what I’m thinking of doing to Kara and Jacob (cackle), because I know me and my big mouth will definitely leak something out… Also, originally, when I first started writing Jacob Black? I was thinking of focusing on something other than Edward/Bella/Jacob. I know, I know, there is still a lot of the triangle in my fan fiction, but the plot’s not solely based on that. I wanted to explore Jacob’s character not through Bella but some other observations and Jacob himself. So, really, Kara is a really good main character for me to work with, because she has read the books and knows what’s really happened, but also she’s looking at Jacob in her life. I’ve come to love Kara and Jacob so much. While having Bella’s character come in won’t necessarily break my focus, I still rather keep on going with just Jacob and Kara and conflicts that are caused by the both of them. So, in the end, I really don’t think that having Bella to provide even more obstacles is all that necessary.

The imprinting factor.
Before, in the single digit chapters, one or two people asked about whether Jacob has imprinted on Kara. I might have answered this, but I don’t remember. The answer is no. Mainly, I didn’t want the pull of the imprinting factor, as I like to call it, to distract the two main characters from whatever I’d be putting them up for. I really never thought much about making Jacob imprint on Kara, because I guess I just… didn’t think about it like that. This isn’t one of the many werewolf imprinting stories; the aim was never for this fan fiction to be an imprinting story. I find it more interesting, more powerful if both of them are struggling to figure out just where their relationship stands and how to avoid some things. With the imprinting factor, all that hard work and interesting writing is already done. Well, not entirely done, but it’s just not what I want for Kara and Jake because more than half the story is about Kara falling for Jacob. If he’s imprinted on her, then the pain and arguments would disappear, and the story would be completely different. Now, this isn’t to say that imprinting stories are bad, because I’ve seen some plot lines that are very well done. Imprinting has other issues that can be explored, like, the frustration and just the heart-wrenching adoration that is from the werewolf to the female. In fact, I’ve been meaning to write this one shot about Quil and Claire for a long while, but Jacob Black? is just not about imprinting. That’s all.

I think you should make Kara tell Jacob about what she knows.
This is sort of like the first answer. Again, I’ve considered and reconsidered but I don’t think that this point is necessary. Kara hasn’t had the chance nor will she (I think) have the chance to say it in the future. Also, Kara needs to set up a lot of courage to tell Jacob about what she knows. With the argument raging on, and their emotions all splayed out because of confusion and everything, it’ll be a long time before their relationship is stable enough for Kara to tell him. For a little while their actions toward each other should be a little timid and gentle. They’ve worked so hard to be happy again, they need to build it back up again. And then, Jacob’s reaction (if Kara tells him) will cause a lot of damage too. All that hard work will be put to waste! And the story will be very repetitive with the two of them breaking off arguing again and then smacked back together. Thus, I have decided that Kara should not tell Jacob. Well, unless there comes a time…

That is all for now. If anything else comes, I might add. Thanks everyone for being so supportive of my fan fiction. Hugs for all!
