![]() Author has written 5 stories for Dragon Ball Z. http://www.fanfiction.net/forum/Capsule-Corp-Creative-Writers/130654/ Hello, Above is a link to my forum that I started with msanimegeek. Please feel free to check it out and chat with us etc. Anyone can join :)) I guess you want to know a bit about me: My name is Kim. I was born in the 80's In Cape Town, South Africa. I have been living in New Zealand for almost 4 years now. I speak English and Afrikaans, but I like to mix the two. Might explain why my format is a bit strange sometimes, but I am working on it though. I am a very friendly, quiet (some might disagree) and patient person. You know the type that sits back and takes it all in, but don't let that fool you because there is a side to me that I rarely show. I don't really feel the need to say anything about my writing. I am not here to boast about how great I am at this or that. Or tell you what my weaknesses are. You can see for yourself if you decide to read one of my stories. Although I have improved immensely since I've started; I still have a lot to learn and appreciate all the help I can get. I love DBZ... I grew up watching the dragon ball series and I clearly remember coming home from school doing whatever homework etc, playing with my friends...which were mostly boys as I loved playing soccer and cricket, preferred it to dolls lol. And at exactly 4pm Monday to Friday we would run home to watch be it DB/Z/GT, half an hour later we would rush back out speaking our own version of the Afrikaans dialect, hyped up at what we had just seen, actions and all! Ahhhh memories lol. I came across fan fiction by chance out of boredom one night. I was just doodling on google which brought me to and read my first fic which was a Goku/Chi Chi...can't remember the name and since then I've been hooked. I only started writing late last year and am still learning so I welcome any constructive criticism. Idiots will be ignored, although it's not in my nature to hold my tongue so I may reciprocate lol. About my updates etc: I don't have a specific day for updating, I usually put it up whenever it's ready. I always post late at night, as I know it's when most of you will be able to read my updates. I have a very busy schedule(with more responsibilities than I care to mention and a very busy social life). I do try and update at least once a week, but if circumstances change then it will take a bit longer. It's very difficult for me to respond to PM's or questions in reviews straight away(unless I'm pulling one of my famous all-nighters) due to the time difference, but I always do. If you want me to read your story let me know. I don't expect you to review mine, but it is greatly appreciated. I am an avid reader. I'll read any book as long as it captivates me from the first few lines. (Fantasy and Sci-Fi not so much, although I like watching the movies and series). Favourite Author: Lindsey Davis, she writes mystery novels. One of her series of books is the Falco series. He is a private investigator based in Ancient Rome, and I am absolutely in love with one Marcus Didius Falco ( in a non creepy way).

They may not be great, but I am trying. A BIG Thank you to everyone who reads my stories. I never expected to have so many loyal readers, especially for Ice Prince (which is my favourite one to write ;P) Be kind to one another and if you do happen to critique someone's story, make sure to add something positive. If you have nothing nice to say don't comment. (by that I mean flames) Thank you for visiting my Profile and don't forget to come and check out my Forum if you're interested. |
