Age: 20. My birthday is February 18th, just in case anyone wants to write me a story or anything. I adore it, I really do ;)

Currently working on: Freak Show. Various one-shots.

Hobbies: I hate writing and reading! Obviously I'm just kidding :) I wouldn't be here otherwise. I quite enjoy it :) Actually, I do have a lot of confidence in my writing, because I've been writing since I was 11 or 12. I know the progress I've made, and I know that so long as I keep writing, those experiences will only push me to greater achievement! But it's hard when the characters aren't mine! So this really is a brand new experience for me, and I'm glad you're all so encouraging, because it REALLY does mean a lot to me.

Other Hobbies: While writing does take up the majority of my time -and I really do mean the majority, I spend my afternoons after school on my laptop just tapping away at the keys! -I also enjoy playing the piano, listening to music, drawing, writing, watching TV, reading manga, watching anime, writing, eating chocolate, writing, reading more manga, and more manga, and writing! Whoa! How'd all those "writing"s get in my list? :P

Things that are probably keeping me from updating:

-Work - While I wait for my writing career to take off, a girl's gotta earn some money somehow, right? Unfortunately, working eats a lot of "writing time"

-Kick-boxing - Whoa. Who knew, right? It's always interested me, and I've decided to give it a try! I've been doing it for a short while now, and go twice a week to a class. I feel great! I also want to start basic working out on days when I don't have kick-boxing.

-Oddly... Writing - It will be mentioned below, but I have quite a few original works on the go. I enter contests, spend uber amounts of time trying to gain votes, etc... A lot of time and effort goes into writing in general, and while I can try my hardest to write, sometimes you're just not in the mood to write a particular story. But I've been pushing myself past that feeling, and I've given myself deadlines!

I do write on a few different sites, but lately I've been putting my sole focus into writing my novels! I've gotten them professionally edited and everything! AND!!!! Now I have my first book available for purchase. WHICH IS PRETTY DARN EXCITING IF I DO SAY SO MYSELF.

If you like werewolves, vampires and fox shape-shifters, might I beg you to find my story on amazon? I'm so proud of it, and I have so much planned for the rest of it's series. It's called Rise of the Moon... Here's hoping you guys love my writing style enough to support me as I branch out into a new and mysterious world!

I couldn't be where I am now without any of you guys. Fanfiction has given me such a wonderful opportunity to grow as a writer, and if you truly enjoy my writing, I'd really enjoy it if you checked out my original pieces. It means the world to me, because this is honestly and truly what I want to do in my future. I've come such a long way, and if you've been with me since the beginning, I'm sure you've realized that too.

A few of the sites I write short, original stories for include:

Also, if you DO post your own works online, don't be afraid to message me and ask me to read them! I would love to!

A little blurb here:

I've been a big manga reader and anime watcher since I was twelve. I love the fact that the pictures do more justification than descriptive words. But there are times, as many people on this site may have experienced, that there are times when a happy ending just isn't a happy ending for me. Take 666 Satan for example. THEY SHOULD'VE GOTTEN TOGETHER. But no. Haha, good manga either way. If I decide to write anything for it, I'll definitely have to reread it. Anyway, somehow for me a happy ending isn't a happy ending unless they end up married, or married with children. What can I say? I'm a romantic to the core.

My biggest aspiration is to be a writer. A good one -no, a great one! I have five books already written and raring to go even, and thirty more or so waiting to be finished. Just waiting on a publisher *smacks lips together* well, fingers crossed for eventually!

Some favourite mangas I've read are definitely One Piece, Skip Beat!, Fairy Tail, and well, I'm not going to list the 500 manga's I've read. And yes, including one shots, I've really read that many. I'm a fan of tragedy, so if in any of my stories I publish on here, I kill a character or something, don't be surprised... But I'll try to refrain :P Unless it's a really good plot, because -be honest- everyone loves a good tragedy every now and then

Also:

If you haven't noticed already, I'm a fan of Luffy and Nami as a major One Piece couple. I also think they're the most obvious couple. I do like the idea of Zoro and Nami together, I'll admit to that, but more than those two, I prefer Zoro and Robin. While I don't mind reading boys love, I won't ever write any two male characters in a romantic setting.

Eventually I hope to write little stories for other manga's I've thoroughly enjoyed (and am not quite satisfied with the romance aspect of said mangas), but for now, I'm really enjoying writing One Piece fanfictions.

Which leads me to say: I do NOT claim to own One Piece!

I appreciate all the reviews I get, and love constructive criticism! Don't be afraid to review! I like to know if I have any incorrect facts, or if you don't understand what I meant in a certain part! I mean, right now I have to have a map of Thousand Sunny just so that I can get the layout of the ship right! But I'll be the first to admit that only started at Chapter 4 in Nami VS Hancock. Anything before that is quite vague, and I plan on eventually going back to edit it as to make it correct :) Yay, editing! (I actually enjoy this process, because most of the time the rewritten part is better than the original!) [Correction: 97% of the time, the rewritten part is better than the original! XD]

Music I listen to while writing: ZZ ward. Love her so much :3
