I love stimulating creations. By stimulating, I mean the author's ability to draw you IN the story--cry, laugh, get anxious, frustrated, a whole swell of emotions that makes reading more alluring and addictive. It simply captivates.

I love clipped bittersweet endings. It leaves a bit more lasting impression although happy endings are still what I commonly long for.

I leave reviews to stories that provoke me to do so.

I don't generally bash anyone for their works. Creative criticism would be most likely. Speaking of the innovative aspect, I lack that immensely. See my poor excuse of a fanfic. (Bottom)

Fact: I'm stuck to my generation's line of anime.

Categories that I frequent:

Bleach, Blood, Card Captor Sakura, Full Moon wo Sagashite, Fushigi Yuugi, GALS!, Gundam Seed, Hellsing, Honey and Clover, Naruto, Ranma 1/2, Rurouni Kenshin, Trinity Blood and Gundam Wing/Sailormoon

I'm very partial to the ff pairings:

Bleach: Orihime + Ichigo, Ulquiorra, Byakuya ~~~(My latest fascination is ByakuyaHime. Just please please check out To Live and Breath Again by Siriusgirl1 Its just too too good to past up. Promise! Read and be infected!! Although..IchiHime is still my abolute favorite! Too many good works to recommend) Ow and as a side note, I still ferverently hope that Ulquiorra has more roles to the current bleach arc than the author lets on.)

Blood: Saya + Haji, Solomon; Kai + Mao

CCS: Meilin + Syaoran, Eriol

Fruit Basket: Tohrou + Kyou

Fullmoon wo Sagashite: Meroko + Takuto

Fushigi Yuugi: Yui + Hotohori, Chichiri, Keisuke, Tatara

GALS!: Aya + Yuuya, Rei

Gundam Seed/GSD: Cagalli + Athrun

Hellsing: Integra + Alucard

Honey and Clover: Ayu + Morita, Mayama ~~~(Read The leafs of the clover fall one by one by Kanae92. This one really got me excited since it features one pairing I've been rooting for in the anime. It's set a few years after the anime and it simply has the plot I've long wished to happen!)

Naruto: Ino + Sasuke, Neji, Genma, Kakashi, Kiba

Ouran Host Club: Haruhi + Kyouya

Ranma 1/2: Shampoo + Ranma

Rurouni Kenshin: Megumi + Aoshi, Kenshin, Enishi

Tenjou Tenge: Maya + Masataka

Trinity Blood: Astharoshe + Abel ~~~(If you love this pairing as much as I do, read The Art of Seduction by SheDevil85. You won't be disappointed. It'll make your insides churn with anticipation. Hot! Be warned! another would be What Happened Afterbydragonwriter24cmf)

Sailormoon/Gundam Wing: Minako + Heero, Trowa, Ace, Artemis; Setsuna + Heero, Trowa, Duo, Mamouru

For the Getbackers category, who would think that Hevn and The Jackal could actually work?? That's how good My Boyfriend by The Invader Androgynous is! It's light and funny but with a romantic plot to boot! Heck you'd probably never imagined Akabane with any romantic motives!

Notice a trend? Canon pairings rarely come to my liking. They already have their own happy ending, why not give chance to undelved at pairings? It makes reading just more interesting and gratifying! And isn't this unsatisfied want of someone to get together the one that drives most of us into fanfiction? And aren't crack pairings just absolute FUN?? Hahaha.

Most probably, many will question my preferences but MY list is permanent. Those pairings will unlikely be erased. Although some can be added, that depending on what I discover going over different works.

I haven't finished reading the English translated scans of Record of Fallen Vampire but I've finished the raws. And it wasn't definitely satisfying for me. Does anyone know any fanfics about Bridget and Strauss? They're the current #1 on my Want-2-read-about-Pairing List.

USED to be #2 Yura and Mizorogi from Honey Hunt manga. Err.. I'm starting to NOT like Yura. (Based on current manga chapters) Actually I'm currently infuriated with her actions in the manga. So scratch this pairing! I want Mizorogi with someone else!!

CURRENT #2 More Asta and Abel stories! There are just so few! I hope more get inspired to write about them.
