NOTE: author was previously known as 'AMAGICIANSGRACE' but I got bored of that, and I felt like a tone shift. Now I'm all dark and broody and the like. (Please just ignore the excitable gal in the avatar, because she likes to pretend she's cool and serious).

So, my real name is Sam and I am a female. If you can find me from that amount of personal information on the internet, then I'll give you a prize when you show up on my doorstep to rape and kill me. Because, if I'm honest, I would find that level of dedication to be kind of flattering.

All my stories come trademarked from GOOD OL' AU of STRALIA. Boom.

Passions?

Honest? Most musicals (specifically RENT), nearly any TV show with a good story line because I'm just a bit pathetic and any film with a good love story (from tragedies to romantic comedies). I'm a bit in love with Jesse Eisenberg. Emma Stone is my favourite actress, and Karen Gillan is my idol (we're the same height so I figure I'm getting there). I think Andrew Garfield is cutest thing on the planet and I just want to hug him. I ship Stonefield more than anything on the planet. If they break up I will die. Hilary Duff and Justin Timberlake were my favourite musicians when I was little. Awkward. (Lol, I cannot tell a lie, JT is still a fave of mine ;) )

Other guilty pleasures include following countless Klaroline tags on Tumblr, as well as completely believing that Matt Smith and Karen Gillan are secretly married (HOW COULD THEY NOT BE?)

My first celebrity crush was Sam Neill (yes, another Sam). I saw him in Jurassic Park and to this day I can watch and rewatch anything with him in it because he's just so damn talented. Following that, I fell into delusional love with the beautiful, Adam Brody, and have, to this day, seen every single film he's ever made. Even Jennifer's Body. Which sucked.

On that note (the loving, not the sucking), if I had to chose one fictional character to fall in love with and marry it would be Seth Cohen of The OC fame. (Runners up include Stiles Stilinski ala Teen Wolf, Sodapop from The Outsiders, Peeta Mellark as seen in The Hunger Games, Loki (Tom Hiddleston style) from The Avengers films and Fred Weasley from the Harry Potter franchise).

You should also know that I took an online quiz, and if I were any Marvel comic book hero, I would be Peter Parker (also known Spiderman).

I am neurotic. I say that I welcome criticism, but every single piece I read tears me up inside. It's good for my personal growth though, apparently, so keep it coming. Arrogantly, I think my strongest point is characterisation (I'm great at pegging mannerisms) and my weakest is grammar. I have a best friend named Em, who I couldn't live with out and a fear of commitment (good for an aspiring writer, don't you think?)

My favourite film is The Breakfast Club. (directed by John Hughes/starring Molly Ringwald/Judd Nelson/Emilio Estevez/Ally Sheedy/Anthony Micheal Hall).

My favourite book is The Outsiders. (written by S. E. Hinton/published 1965).

Current favorite fandoms are as follows:

(Updated: October 2012) Now that I've finished writing 'The Guilty Ones', I'm focusing on writing a couple of follow up one shots for that story now. I've just started a new fic called 'A Fragile Line' for the Amazing Spider-Man fandom, which I'd love for you guys to all read. I'm also in the middle of writing a Mark/Eduardo Chuck AU that's focused on my AO3 page (if you want to check that out then the link to my AO3 profile is below in the links section). I'll be focusing on finishing those more than anything else. :)

As for what I'm reading at the moment,

Ships?

Okay, bitches, let's talk about OTPS. MY BABIES are Mark/Eduardo from the fabulous film 'The Social Network' but only in their fictional carnations, because in my mind that's the canon. Worse than that, I've fallen in love with the Andrew/Jesse fanfiction because they're so perfect and all the fics out there are also fix kinds of brilliant.

Then, in order, Destiel, Kirk/Spock, Sterek and then Larry Stylinson (YEP. I'M ONE OF THEM. HOPEFULLY LESS PSYCHO THAN THE MAJORITY THOUGH)

From there, the only one I have a MAJOR issue with is Ron/Hermione because they are ALSO MY SWEET BABIES. If someone recommends me a Harry Potter fic without Ron and Hermione together in the end (or with Ron being bashed, as a lot of the fics do) then I'll cut a bitch. I'm also an avid Seth/Summer (The OC), Damon/Elena (The Vampire Diaries), Baltar/Caprica Six (Battlestar Galactica) Peeta/Katniss (The Hunger Games) Peter/Gwen (The Amazing Spiderman [movieverse]) and Tony/Pepper (Ironman [movieverse]) shipper.

STONEFIELD (Emma Stone/Andrew Garfield). EISENFIELD (Jesse Eisenberg/Andrew Garfield).

Get to know me :)

(beyond this profile page.) ;) The first thing you guys need to know about me (because you've come this far, and it's either because you're a psycho serial killer, or because I haven't updated and you're out for blood. Which I understand. Trust me. Been there. Done that.) is that I have just finished high school, and gotten into my university of choice (the name of which I will not disclose, just because of that serial killer thing that I mentioned earlier). I have also just gotten a new job, selling clothes, so that I have money to buy my own clothes, and cable television and, you know, food.)

Because of this, my writing is really not my top priority. I am really sorry guys! I know how frustrating it is to like a fic that you can't finish, but I can't just drop everything. I'll work on finishing all my WIPs when I can. That is not to say that I am abandoning ship. I LOVE writing guys. It's like, my savior. It keeps me sane, and if I'm not eating in my spare time, or wallowing in self pity, I'm writing. I'm just trying to tell you that the time when I'm not at Uni, working, wallowing in self pity or eating are fewer than they have been. :/

Links.

ALRIGHTY ROO. FOR THOSE OF YOU INVESTIGATING MOI, you can find me on Tumblr at: http:/// Just a heads up though, folks, I'm obsessive and proud of it at that site. You have been warned.

My Archive Of Our Own user profile is linked here: http:///users/grimgrace/pseuds/grimgrace there are some double ups in fics though, and most of them are also on :)

and I should tell you that recently, The Guilty Ones has been turned into an EBook, available on iPad and kindle, and is also currently being translated into Chinese by shiwen wang - if you want the link to the translation you should message her and chat to her about it :D

THANKS GUYS AND I'M GLAD YOU DECIDED I WAS IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO READ THE PROFILE OF... (did that sentence make sense...?...whatever.) ENJOY MY STORIES AND GIVE ME YOUR VIEWS AS MUCH AS YOU WANT! I'M A FAN OF OPINIONATED PEOPLE, AS I AM ONE AS WELL!!

PS. If you have hap'd across this author's profile page because you were googling yourself and you find your name mentioned in here, then I would like to say
HELLO THERE. I ADMIRE YOU ALL MUCHLY. NOW, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE VACATE THIS AUTHORS PAGE AND SKIP ALL FIC LINKS, I WOULD BE MUCH OBLIGED. CONTINUE WITH YOUR LIFE AND TRY NOT TO WORRY THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE LIKE ME OUT IN THE WORLD.

peace out, homies.
