Welcome to the profile of me, Firestorm Nauralagos! (Please, call me Firestorm. xD)

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Q. Where did your pen name come from?

A. The first half, Firestorm, is the name of a character from my original novel. She's a psychopath, a fire controller, and one of my favorite characters to write. xD The second half, Nauralagos, isn't very creative for one reason: it's just "Firestorm" in Sindarin, one of J.R.R. Tolkien's forms of Elvish.

Q. What is your profile picture, exactly?

A. It's a baby penguin, because hello, adorable fluffiness, much? xD xD

Q. What are some of your hobbies?

A. Being a recluse, sitting inside alone all day and writing fan fiction, playing the flute, playing video games, torturing characters, playing Ultimate Frisbee (I'm a handler and am starting my seventh season in March :D) painting (not very well) drawing (even worse) writing (hopefully not too bad, for the sake of all your brains) and reading (obsessively.)

Q. What are some of your interests?

A. Anything related to pirates (at all, especially Pirates of the Caribbean) anything related to the Lord of the Rings, emoticons, not math, anything related to Disney, Ultimate Frisbee, fascism and not math.

Q. Where else can we find you?

A. On fiction press, under the pen name "Firestorm Nauralagos." I am a beta reader on both this website and that one, and I also have a website, which you will find the link to at the bottom of my profile :3 Said website contains a blog, which contains the secrets as to why I so frequently procrastinate on updates. Additionally, I am a moderator on the WizPir101 forum (run by the fabulous Rebecca Ripple) and I have two forums of my own, both in the Wizard101 fandom: "So, you want to write a story?" and "We're not all that bad!"

Q. Who are some of your favorite authors?

A. J.R.R. Tolkien, Cassandra Clare, Marissa Meyer (I got to meet her at a book festival once!!!) George R.R. Martin, Gina Damico, Allie Carter, Rainbow Rowell, Angie Sage and Robin LaFevers. (There are probably others that I'm forgetting. Seriously, I read WAY too much.)

Q. What are your favorite bands?

A. My musical taste is extremely diverse; however, I have been able to choose a favorite genre, which is power metal. (This will come as a surprise to many people, especially if they know me in real life. Heehee.) My favorite power metal band is a Norwegian group called PelleK, who no one has ever heard of. T_T

I am a supporter of The Nellie Gomez Foundation. The Nellie Gomez Foundation is a foundation made specifically for improving the '39 Clues' fandom. It wasn't made ONLY to help the fandom, but to make it more fun and enjoyable for all writers and readers. Anyone can be a member, so PM Isabel Kabra now and increase the numbers!

Le Website

Since I have absolutely no life and way too much free time, I have made a website for random pictures and other various things regarding my fan fictions. The address is firestormnauralagos . webs . com (you'll have to remove le spaces, though XD) If you've gone to the right place, you'll see Squishy 8) there to welcome you. xD

STORY NEWS

Currently all of my stories are on hiatus. I've had a painfully nasty case of Writer's Block since about July, and school this year is keeping me extremely busy. Thankfully the Writer's Block seems to be going away, and while school isn't going to ease up much, midterms are next week, and so I will have the week off to write stuff. We shall see how this all goes.

UPCOMING STORIES

"Frozen Woods" is the backstory of Erica Bluestone, one of my characters from the Firesong Saga. This is going to be a oneshot- I don't feel that there's enough to her history to write a multi-chapter story. This is one of those things I'm planning to write during a weekend when I get bored, so there's no set publication date. Feature characters: O.C., Lydia Greyrose, Headmaster Ambrose. Rating: K plus. Genres: Family, Adventure.

"Friend" is a Princess and the Frog oneshot. Feature character: Dr. Facilier. Rating: T. Genres: Angst, horror.

"The Sisters Three" is going to be a multi-chapter Disney's Cinderella fic that ignores A Twist in Time (why would they even make such an abomination? xP) Feature characters: Cinderella, Anastasia, Drizella. Rating: K plus or T. Genres: Mystery, Adventure.

"Song of the Sea" will be a Pirate101 X Wizard101 crossover featuring the Firesong Saga cast and some new friends ... Feature character: O.C. Rating: K plus. Genres: Adventure, Friendship.

COVER DRAWINGS

If you need a cover for your story and like my style of drawing (the Anything You can do cover is the most recent one) I am willing to try making one for you. I mostly draw people, and they tend to look like a cross between manga and realism, although I can draw other stuff as well. There's more stuff about this cover drawing thing on my website (the link is above). You can contact me about this either through a P.M. or by emailing me at firestorm401@gmail.com.
