Other stuff - Nerd really describes it all. I started writing fan fiction, worship Star Wars, read manga and watch anime, and would love nothing more than to read the entirety of the X-Men comics and not have to pay a cent. I really need a life but as a history major, I don't by automatic default.

Even though fantasy is my favorite genre, I've always felt that the more realistic you can make the story and characters, the better the story is because it has a tone that rings true to real life. Yes, unfortunately I did take the "American-fish outta water" approach as my first attempt at writing fanfiction, but hopefully mine feel more realistic. Life isn't full of happy endings and so neither are my stories; shit happens. So far people leaving reviews seem to be happy with my stories so I must be doing something right!:D (Either that or those people have absolutely no taste. Just kidding.)

UPDATE: Hey people, guess what? I'm not dead!! Just wanted to say that Chapter 10 of "Taking The Long Way" is in the works, it's just giving me hell for some reason. It all works out in my head, but translating that to the computer's been a nightmare. So it's slowly taking shape but with no future ETA in sight, which doubly sucks. The wait continues...
