I've been known on the internet as WhyWhatShutup since 2003, when I was still in middle school. I am currently working on my undergraduate degree with the intention of going on to vet school. My passions are animal rescue and medicine, along with writing. You can tell, I will never be a rich woman.

Currently I am trying to help my family with bills, so I'm working and going to school full time. I foster-failed my first foster dog and since he is young and energetic, he consumes most of my free time. Things are changing in my life and I have to focus on those first...

"Razors pain you;

Rivers are damp;

Acids stain you;

And drugs cause you cramp.

Guns aren't lawful;

Nooses give;

Gas smells awful;

You might as well live."-"Resume" by Dorothy Parker. I love this poem.

In the Works:

The stories that I consider active are as follows:

1. Sirius Black's Sordid Affair

2. Kokoro no Dorobo

3. Fighting the Good Fight

4. Once Upon a Prank

SBSA is probably going to be much longer than I originally thought, since I was originally planning on about 15 chapters and I'm already up to 8. I adore this story even though many of the reviews I have received for it are very negative.

KnD should only have a few more chapters before the story is over. What originally started as an innocent love/adventure story now has a mild lemon in it -- Chapter 14. You are warned.

FtGF -- this story... It is a bit time consuming to write, since I have to go reference the Rurouni Kenshin manga frequently. That's probably one of the reasons it took me so long to update, even though I feel quite a bit of affection for the story.

OUaP was unplanned and the ideas I have for it are vague at best. It will probably end up being the shortest of my chaptered stories. I'd like it to have 5 or 6 chapters and no more than 7. With those chapters only being 2.5k-3.5k words each, it's not a very complex story. Yet, it's the one I have the most trouble writing.

"Love Gives Me Hope" is kind of my "filler" story. Chapters are not predictable and I never know ahead of time what the next installment is going to be about. I've been thinking about separating the chapters out into their own stories to make it easier to know which chapters are related and which are one shots... but I have not yet made a decision about that.

Stories I'm working on that aren't published yet:

1. Integration -- AU. Demons and humans are segregated. Inuyasha makes the decision to go to a human school and makes several friends there. As legislation gets passed to start integration, they face the challenges that come from that. Sessh/Kag

2. Title not decided -- Sess/Kag. The two have mated, but weren't trying to get pregnant, even going so far as using magical forms of protection. But sometimes protection fails. However, what happens when Sesshomaru must choose between an heir for his legacy and Kagome?
