Author has written 11 stories for Pokémon, SpongeBob SquarePants, Invader Zim, Homestuck, and Touhou Project.

Welcome to my base, it all belong to you!


-INFORMATION STATION-

My name is [redacted].Sorry, just call me by my username! I'm a teenaged girl with a passion for the written word, and of course, stories of all kinds! My birthday is October 28th. (Goooooooo Scorpio!) I'm a Roman Catholic Christian. I've been told I'm intelligent. (Hey, you gotta love yourself.) I love cats to a worringly high degree and also boats. Aren't boats like the best things ever? Man. Boats. Good thing I live in Minnesota, Land of a Thousand Lakes. (Well, really 12,000, but who's counting?) I hate having to sleep, math, and how to pronounce aesthetics.


-FANDOMS SCHMANDOMS-

I love a lot of different fandoms! Right now, the main couple are Doctor Who, Sherlock, Homestuck, My Little Pony: FiM, and Invader Zim. What do I ship? Many, many, many things. I'll list them, even if someone kills me over the shipping wars.

Sherlock: Johnlock. (Obviously.)

Homestuck: Ummm... no. There's a BIT too many to actually list, so I'll just throw out some OTPS.

-QUIZNESS BUSINESS-

I made this for Invader Zim fanfictions, but I'll adapt it to better use, eh?

The Ultimate Fanfiction Questionnaire!

1) How many stories have you written?

Eleven. Pitiful, I know, since most are oneshots and I've got one unfinished chapterfic, but I TRIED.

2) Which one is your personal favorite?

Ugh, I think Lock the Door. It needs some revision but obviously it's my most popular and I actually finished it.

3) Which one is your least favorite?

Um. I suppose Soon?. It was sort of rushed, and I think I could do much better.

4) What character do you write the most for?

Dib? That little bugger? UGH, I need to write more things that AREN'T about my least favorite character ever.

5) Favorite pairing to write for? Or do you absolutely despise shipping?

Hmmm. I don't know! I have a lot of friend!shipping stories in my head and I've only REALLY written two "romance" stories. One wherein the heroine discovers she actually hates the guy and then dies, and the other is between a nine-year-old girl and a robot. asjgfakjdhgli'mbadatthis

6) How many reviews have you gotten on your most popular story?

44 reviews on Lock the Door. All of them were positive! I love you guys!

7) Any flames or bad reviews on any of your stories?

Four. One had a single word - "sucks". It was really, really stupid. I laughed and then deleted it. The next was my fault. I unwittingly threw a really bad flame at somebody and they weren't happy with me. The next two were by the same person, "guest". They insulted how "boring" Sorry Mastah! was and then called One Sip "dead horse old". Obviously they didn't read the 200-word fiction enough to realize IT WAS A JOKE. I hate that guy. I left them up just so people, you know, didn't fall into an Orwellian society. When you leave a review, if you hate it, tell me why and then maybe I can write something worthy of Your Highness, 'kay?

8) How long is your longest story?

Lock the Door is over 20,000 words. I'm slightly proud. The revision is probably going to be longer!

9) Oneshots, chapter fics, or series?

Ha, oneshots. I'm absolutely horrible at updating chaptered stories.

10) Do you use spellcheck on all of your finished chapters in Open/LibreOffice or Word?

That's the Grammar Nazi way.

11) How many OCs do you have?

Five. Sergio and Vinny, then the really minor ones of Feque and Lid in Sorry Mastah!. THEN there was a really, really bad fanfiction called I'm Taking Back What's Mine that I wrote a looong time ago. It was my first Invader Zim fanfiction, so obviously there was a Sue OC. Her name was Lia. Twelve-year-old-me can go jump in a lake.

12) Does anyone accuse you of writing a Mary-Sue/Marty-Stu?

Nope. Thanks, you guys!

13) In your opinion, what’s the best fanfiction ever? What fandom was it, why was it so darn good?

AAAAAUGH STOP PRESSURING ME. Can I give you multiple fandoms? Okay. Hooboy.

Sherlock: There are a lot. They kinda blended into my mind, though a good one is Alone on the Water. I can see all of you veterans blubbering now. Yeah, just read this and have tissues on hand, I won't give it away. Not to mention a really short but GREAT one, A Facade Faded. Hey, you know that scary moment when we all thought John was Moriarty? Yeah. That was true. Short n' well-written.

Homestuck: Herding Cats. If I had to read one fanfiction for the rest of my life, it'd be this. It's another AU where Nepeta is given a second chance in her doomed timeline. The only way to escape is to ship all of the trolls. All of them. So realistic, even when some weird ships appear!

Invader Zim: You'd better have read In Short Supply if you even want to consider yourself a fan. Purple/Zim slash and mpreg. Sounds horrifying, but SO AMAZING in ten different ways. Won't give it away.

14) What genre seems to be your most written for?

General. Ugh. BOOOORING, my second most is humor. Much better! C:

15) Do you listen to music while writing? If so, what do you listen to?

I used to, but then I realized I get distracted... for a while I didn't, and then for some reason I listened to "Flare (Cascade Cut)" on repeat while I wrote some original fiction then it turned out kind of great. Ha, yeah. I tend to listen to instrumental music, like TV and movie soundtracks. Right now I really like the Sherlock Series One suite, and also Homestuck's music. Inception and the Guy Ritche Sherlock Holmes music likes to slip in there too, sometimes accompanied by a dash of Touhou OSTs.

16) Any yaoi/yuri stories?

Nope. Might be in the future, though.

17) What’s the best review you’ve ever gotten?

I’ve had a couple AMAZING ones, but…the one on Raindrops from R.L. Sisters has to be the best.

“Ohz…Meh….Gawd. I luv dis! =D

I love the detail you put into it, the way you entered Gir’s mind so perfectly, the overall concept, everything!

I’m a nit-picking kind of person by choice and character, but I can pick very few things out that are wrong with the story! (Which, by the way, has destroyed my goal in life! Noooo.) You can tell, by the fact I am spelling things wrong purposely and ignoring grammar. That never happens. D=

I loved the concept you put into this, with the tears and raindrops. It’s such a powerful concept, yet so childlike and naïve at the same time.

It was quiet out-of-character for GIR, but who knows what goes around in that little robot head of his. *shivers* I feel like you captured the notion of this story perfectly, and is such a poetic and beautiful way. (= Good job!

-R.”

18) Which character do you feel you’ve written the best?

People say I’m good at writing Gir! It's not an easy thing, you know. He's not completely random-funny like most pre-teen authors like to write him as. There's a lot of Alternate Character Interpretation you can do with the guy!

19) How many stories are in your Favorites?

Seventy-three. I did a nice purge a while back.

(Do you know whenever I get a favorite alert, I immediately check the person's favorite list to make sure they don't just fav EVERY story? The less favorites they have, the more honored I feel.)

20) Last but not least… Quick, write a drabble for your favorite pairing!

...khdfgdawritingpowersGO WV/PM

You don't like royalty. You hate it. You loathe it. It permeates and destroys lives and planets. It paints everything you ever know a horrible shade of red. It crushes others while slowly crushing the foundation it's built on. You deserted royalty when you fled to live on Skaia. You deserted the corrupted, horrible, murdering royalty when you found John, and when you wandered the desert with nothing but a stick and the wrapped up sheets around you. You were always thirstythirstythirsty and so hungry for anything green you remembered from your sweet little (angrily burning out-of-control) farm. But you liked it, because there weren't any KINGS.

Now you're sitting in the freezing nighttime of the desert. You are warmed, though, by the fact that there are friends and (happily crackling good) fire and food all around you. Mostly you're warmed by the fact that there aren't any KINGS.

Yes, there's royalty, but you happen to like your sweetly smiling new queen.

H3H3H3, how'd I do?
