A (ROMANTIC) CHAPTER STORY CO-WRITTEN WITH PERCABETH777 - Please check it out!: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6250042/1/The_Perfect_Mistake

(A not-so-new) Rachel/Nico one-shot! Check it out: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6196790/1/Caught

IMPORTANT: ALL FANFICS ARE CURRENTLY ON AN INDEFINITE HIATUS (except The Perfect Mistake... well, kinda). Let's face it here, folks, anyone who's been to high school knows that school alone is time consuming. Now, let us add on the time spent during the hours and hours of homework, studying for tests and quizzes, play rehearsals, being the editor of a school publication, writing for other school publications, maintaining a social life, trying to get the maximum amount of sleep possible (which is a small number of hours), and... did I mention homework and studying? Thought so.

Anyways, long story short, fanfiction is taking a major backseat. I really have no clue when I'll be able to/want to come back. Definitely not soon, at the very least. Therefore, please enjoy what I've already written and still review! I do check my email everyday and read and cherish every review - and despite my hiatus, I will reply to them all at some point soon.

Ater a very long time (which I am somewhat ashamed of) I finally read The Lost Hero. I also figured I'd mention that none of my fanfictions correspond with the events in the Lost Hero, as I wrote all of them prior to the book's release. Read them as if the book never came out.

Well... goodbye fanfiction for I-don't-know-how-long! I shall miss you. And I'm so sorry to all my readers who have supported my fanfics for all this time. Every single review/favorite/alert means so much and without you guys I would nowhere be near the writer I am today.

Welcome to my profile!

Right about here on a my profile I used to have a list of favorite songs. I deleted that, as I realized that 1. Probably no one was reading it, and if they did read it, why would they care? and 2. It was totally, completely, inaccurate. Since I wrote that list, my taste in music hasn't exactly changed, I would say, but almost more refined. Anyways, songs that today I didn't think deserved to be on there were, and about 20 songs (way to many for me to list) or so that I thought did weren't. Anyways, if for some reason you want a list of my favorite songs, PM me and I'll give you a list. Otherwise, if you're just mildly curious, my favorite bands list pretty much covers my list of favorite songs (meaning that almost all songs on that list come from the list of bands above).

Other Miscellaneous Stuff:

Feel free to PM anytime. I'm very chatty when I don't have a mountain of homework, projects, and studying to do (like now, because it's summer!). You can talk to me about pretty much anything, so please don't be shy!

My Fanfiction:

-I write because it's a hobby of mine and because it's an outlet for all my random ideas. I also write for practice so my writing can improve.

-I greatly appreciate every single review I get. Whether its a compliment or a bit of CC or whatever, I really care to hear about what you think. Therefore, please review my stories when you read them!

-I reply to every (not anonymous, of course) review I get because I like to show my gratitude to those who review. If your reply arrives months later after you review, I'm really sorry. You can blame school for that, though.

-My writing is not as a proficient as I'd like it to be, but I'm working on it. However, over the past year and a half or so my writing has improved greatly. Therefore, I would really appreciate if you didn't read the first story that I wrote. I'm so appalled by it, that I'm temped to delete it. I don't know if I ever will, but please don't read it nonetheless.

NOTE: For some unknown reason, FanFiction has deleted the line breaks in my stories so some parts might seem confusing and out of place. Since I don't really have the time right now to re-read everything I've written and fix it, please bear with me. I am trying to fix all the ones I spot, and hopefully soon enough all of my stories will be fixed. Thank you.
