Hi,

Nice to meet you!

A random fact - my penname is named after a really beautiful but quite dangerous fish. I picked it at random, not because I think of myself as beautiful but dangerous!! ;) lol :D

I'm quite new to writing fanfic, but I have read quite a bit. I've become a massive fan of Junjou Romantica, so my fics so far have all been based on that - especially Junjou Terrorist, whom I love and who don't feature in nearly enough fanfics!

I don't get a lot of spare time to fit in writing, but I have started to get a bit addicted to it. Some of my writing is a bit smutty ;) It does venture on the detailed side sometimes. All I can say is, if you don't like it, don't read it! I do warn people at the start! :P But not all of my stories include smut, so don't worry :) But then, if you're reading any JR fics, you should expect a bit of yummy boy x boy action because that's what the manga/anime is!!

I am still writing my 'What If' JR fic - I intend for this to be ongoing, so updates may be a bit sporadic as I fit it around other stories and real life too, but it WILL get updated! I'm also currently in the middle of writing some other multi-chapter fics. I'm hoping to have as much of them written as possible before posting, both so I don't tie myself in knots with the plot and also so that there aren't huge gaps between updates (like with The What If Machine :/). I am a bit of a slow writer. I also like doing short stories/drabbles so have written a few and will start posting them up here from now on.

I guess generally the themes I like to read/write are humour, romance, drama, angst, smut... I enjoy coming out/getting caught stories. Fantasy is good for me too. Anything where the couple are desperately, passionately in love and I'm hooked! I really love freakylemurcat's 'Creatures Lurk Below' which is an AU horror with dashes of humour and romance. I'm not generally a big horror fan, but that story is awesome! I'm not so keen on non-canon pairings. I know lots of people love them, but for me, Usagi belongs with Misaki, Hiroki with Nowaki, and most definitely Miyagi with Shinobu! So I won't be writing non-canon pairings, sorry.

I happen to be a bit of a spelling/grammar freak. Please let me know if you spot any errors and I'll correct them. (Bear in mind that I write UK English! :D)

I hope you enjoy my little attempts at writing and I really love and appreciate reviews so please let me know what you think! Compliments, (constructive) criticism and any general suggestions for improvements or story requests are welcome!

Thank you very much :)

26/02/14 Update - So, I've been quite bogged down with work for a while and haven't been able to write much for fun for ages :( But, very happily, those hard work days have finally come to an end! So, I fully intend to get back on the ff wagon again, and can't wait! So from now on, expect old open stories to be updated and new stories to be started :) Sorry to keep you all waiting so long (if you have been!).

I've also been considering becoming a beta and brit-picker (for anyone writing about the UK who doesn't know the country and wants to check things). Let me know if you want me to look at anything and I'll do my best for you!
