(As of July 15, 2015) Guys, it's been forever. I'm sorry. I did say goodbye to FF, but the truth is, I'm still on here 24/7. I miss it. I miss the community, the writing, the talking to people, the feeling that I actually belong somewhere. I've only told a few people, but back in August, my mother, the one I complained about all the time, was diagnosed with breast cancer. My hated grandfather came to live with me and my younger siblings while my mother went out of state for treatment. It was rough. The irony is not lost on me, considering what I wrote in the beginning of Cinderella.

I don't really want pity for it. My mother is doing much better and living with us again, though the arguments still continue. I've finished my freshman year of high school and am ready for sophomore year to start. I still do not have a computer - this is being done on my phone. My best writing is always done on computer, but I am attempting to write a one shot that will hopefully be posted within the next few days. I hope I don't disappoint.

(As of October 10, 2015) I'm basically a failure. School has been stressing the mess out of me. My workload has increased tenfold, especially with marching band and being in the process of moving to a different house. I don't even have time to read anymore. I'm currently on a four day weekend which I am currently spending at my older sister's house because of a fallout I had with my mother. Luckily, my sis has a computer so I'm hoping to get my one-shot done at some point. I have two different versions of it so I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out which opne to use, but I'll figure it out. Sorry for the wait. God, it feels amazing to actually type.

Name: Just call me HCG13 for now.

Favorite book/series: Harry Potter, Shatter Me, My Sister's Keeper

Favorite TV Show: Sherlock. Sherlock Sherlock Sherlock. Benedict Cumberbatch is darling.

Favorite music: the Narnia soundtrack, the How to Train Your Dragon soundtrack, Twenty One Pilots, and Panic! At The Disco, Hamilton the Musical, and Spring Awakening

A little bit about me: I am in my school's marching band and we are third in our state. I play the flute and am learning the saxophone and piano. I love to ride horses, though it has been months since I've ridden. I am mostly a pretty boring person, to be completely honest. Oh yeah - I have an obsession with Sirius Black, haha. Whoops. Um, I'm basically a recluse. I check my email way more than is actually necessary, and dill pickle chips are quite possibly the best things that ever happened to mankind. Also, I am of the opinion that the Narnia soundtrack is the most gorgeous collection of sounds. So yeah.

I love you guys!

Okay, so let me get this straight: I love to write. I am passionate about it, and I would lock myself in a room for the rest of my life and write if I could. I'm not looking for pity or anything, I just want to say that I started writing on FanFiction, because my life was getting crappy, and I needed an escape. I don't write strictly for reviews. Yeah, I love them, but who doesn't?

When I started writing Cinderella, and I thanked you guys over and over for reviews and freaked out when I got to ten, nobody said anything. You guys probably sat behind your screens with a small smile on your face thinking, "Aw, she's cute."

And then, what seemed like years later, I hit a thousand reviews - a feat I had considered impossible for me. So when I thanked you guys graciously and freaked out, instead of giving a small smile, I got plenty of reviews saying, "I don't think you care about your story at all. You only care about the number of reviews you get."

That is a completely ridiculous statement. Why would I spend 16 hours a day pushing my dysfunctional family away just to write if I only cared about reviews? Does that make any sense at all? No. So if you are going to tell me that I only write for reviews, you had better be a member of this site. Don't be a coward and post it as a guest, because I want to be able to PM you back to justify myself.
