I've been on this site long enough (6 years!) and noticed this profile really could use some updating. So... I updated a little for anyone who keeps tabs on me you'll notice the difference, and everyone else new... well, you get a cleaner looking profile!

Name: Yoshi Yukhiyou Kawasaki (my anime self, as created by my former writing group, Neko Shoujo) // Real name: Melody
Age: Just turned 18 (May, 8 2008!)
Gender: female
Favorite genre to read/write about: Fantasy/Science Fiction/Realistic Fiction
Current project(s): I seem to have a lot of unfinished projects, don't I? Thank God I didn't write the Twilight or Harry Potter series or I'm sure I'd be getting a lot of hate mail right now. laughs
Anyway, I am focusing primarily on my Albus Severus/Scorpius fic titled, "Slytherin's Better than Gryffindor," as well as my hopefully-soon-to-be-updated fic, "Dark Pact." I think it's absolutely ludicrous I never finished a chaptered fic, and would really like my AS/S fic to be the first one of mine to finish.

If you're into Sailor Moon, please be sure to check out my other friend's works by clicking this link to her profile: http://www.fanfiction.net/~Moonlightshadows
She's an up and coming writer, and she has progressed so much :sniff:

:cough: Oh yeah, and Holypancake (my beta): D/H is blasphemy because that means Draco can't be with Hermione, and it means Harry can't shag Hagrid anymore. Err... I mean... It's wrong to see Draco and Harry like that, I don't care what the VI Harry Potter book says.

I absolutely ADORE these 'ships (I'm the personal deckhand! lol):
Draco/Hermione - Always and forever. It's forbidden, and I love it.
Draco/Ginny - This is what started my fandom with HP to begin with, and it's pretty easy to imagine, considering both are pureblood so it's fun to see how different they are.
Gin N' Tonic - If you don't know what this is, or what couple it is, you shouldn't be reading it. .~ It's a bit of D/Hr on steroids. It's extreme, dangerous, romantically angsty.
Fred/Hermione - Yeeeah... thanks CrazyGirl47. she got me into it. This is the only ship where the whole promoting of the Slytherin-Gryffindor unity is out of the question that I really enjoy.

I'm a "weird pairing" writer. I find them especially challenging, but personally rewarding at the end. With that said, I am working hard on seeing if I can write the ships in Harry Potter I dislike the most (Ron/Hermione COUGH).
I take one-shot challenge requests and I'm up for anything really, just nothing that's main canon (i.e. Harry/Ginny cringe, Ron/Hermione stabs eyes out, etc.). side canon pairings (Tonks/Remus, Lily/Snape hugs) and implied canon ships (Rose/Scorpius, shrugs... I guess Dean/Luna although I'd much rather prefer Luna with Ron or Harry Harry esp.) are fine.

Read for personal enlightenment - My personal shortlist of favorite authors/stories that deserve a look.
Author: Gravidy. Specifically the fic "Afterimage" the uncensored version (which you will find in Gravidy's profile), and "The God of Lost," which many fans are still patiently waiting for update.
Author: Wynn.
Author: CrazyGirl47. Specifically, "We Woke Up Married" and "Just a Harmless Joke," a WONDERFUL tribute to the more popular Harry Potter Twin, and the most brilliant witch Hogwarts has seen.
Author: 1432, formerly Rae8. (I am very sad she pretty much disappeared off the face of fanfiction, but her stories are still up)
Fic: "Have You Ever" by Lady Moonglow. This story, hands down, has to be read by every Harry Potter romance fan. I don't care who you ship.
Fic: "The Best Day" by Sunny June 46. HILARIOUS.
Songfic: "The Song of the Prince" by slanderbob. I HIGHLY recommend you listen to the music that she composed with it.
