Details are what makes a story amazing. And long.

Joke of the week:

A car is spotted driving extremely slowly on interstate 29. They are going so slowly, in fact, that dozens of drivers are overtaking them, creating quite a dangerous hazard; the minimum speed limit in this area is 40, and this car is going well below it. A cop naturally pulls them over.

When he draws up to the window, the cop sees that it's an old lady behind the wheel, with three people sitting in the back seat. The passengers seem stressed out, clinging to their seatbelts or to the leather seats with white knuckles, but the driver looks perfectly fine, if a little miffed.

"Ma'am," the cop addresses the old lady. "Do you know why I pulled you over?"

"Why, no I do not!" she announces. "I'll have you know I was doing exactly the speed limit!"

"The speed limit," The cop repeats, perplexed.

"Yes!" she insists, pointing at her speedometer. "The speed limit is 29 miles per hour and that's exactly the speed I was going!"

Something clicks in the officer's mind, and he breathes a sigh of relief. "Ma'am," he says, pointing at the sign on the side of the road. "That isn't a speed limit of 29--It's saying this is interstate 29."

"Interstate 29?" she repeats, surprised. She squints at the sign again, and recognition dawns. "Oh..."

"Yes, the speed limit here is 70." Says the cop. Clearly this was all just a big misunderstanding.

"I see. I'm so sorry officer," she says. "It won't happen again."

"No problem," says the cop. He pauses, then takes one last look at the passengers. "Now, I'm sorry to ask, but are your passengers all right? They seem stressed."

The lady waves him off with a laugh. "Oh, don't mind them," she assures him. "See, we just got off of interstate 225-"

Bio last updated: January 29, 2020

General News:

Finally got over the plot hole from Winter Gods. Chapter 9 should hit in early February after I run it past my beta reader.

I'm also getting the last things off of my tumblr and backed up to FFN and AO3.

Meanwhile, Wayward Son (the Superphantom xover) has been surprisingly easy to write so far *knocks on wood* so another update will probably be very fast coming. Fast for me. Not fast for, like, everyone else. Just fyi.

Lastly, after Winter Gods Ch 9 gets posted, I want to finish up my super old Fillmore fic, Between Two Things, just for some closure. Updates will probably be my NaNo projects.

All updates here will be mirrored onto AO3, where you can find me under the same username (Avearia)

Story info:

Fanfiction is my favorite hobby. I still enjoy my fandoms and creating for them.

I do have real life outside of this hobby, so sometimes I fall out of the fanfiction scene to focus on more important things. Job searching and maintaining friends are my first priorities. However, I don't think I will ever truly grow tired of fanfiction.

Warning - As an author, I am a slow updater. I write chapters, and then I sit on them for a while, in order to look at them with fresh eyes and see mistakes for editing. Thus, I do not update as frequently as some authors on this site do. However, when I do update, the chapters are usually very long and detailed.

I try not to start stories unless I intend to finish them. However, sometimes I do bite off more than I can chew. I always have an ending in mind, but when I hit a block, I might put the story on hiatus until I can come back to it. My Stories currently on Hiatus are: Secrets, Couples of the Digiworld, and Legion Rising.

I am currently caught in the following fandoms: Danny Phantom, Rise of the Guardians, Voltron. Most of what I read and write will be for these fandoms. Danny Phantom is my home base fandom, the fandom I return to whenever I get bored of other fandoms. It is the fandom I spend the most time in. My attention span tends to shift every few months or so. As for my other fandoms, I still am interested in them, I just do not actively seek out or create new material for them.

Though I have plenty ideas of my own, I do occasionally take challenges and requests. PM or Review to send them to me.

Romance Blossoms was a response to a fanfic contest held by 1000GreenSun. It recieved first prize.

101 Challenge: Manifestations is the response to a dare. I am doing poorly on said dare.

I am involved in the ROTG Kink Meme, as an anonymous author. I may put up some of my works here on my Fanfiction account if I deem it good enough. The Kink Meme is located here: (http : / / rotg-kink*dreamwidth*org / 2200*html ) (http:///2200.html) and here: ( http : / / rotg-kink*dreamwidth*org / 2389*html ) (http:///2389.html) Warning: Some challenges include adult content. 18 and over, please.

I occasionally write drabblets or original writing on my Tumblr account: http : / / ave-aria*tumblr*com http:/// . If I want to share it or want critique, I may post fandom drabbles here as well.

Newest oneshot It's Not Fair is posted. The original was written on my tumblr, in response to Polterrgeist's art post on tumblr. The art, my response, Polt's reaction, and Polt's tumblr account can be located here:

I think that's everything. My PMs are open if anyone has questions.

Personal Info:

Call me Avearia. Or Ave. Or Aria. I go by that in many sites, including here, Deviantart, , Tumblr, GaiaOnline, and many other places. I'm Female and graduated college, trying to get a proper job. (No luck so far.) Until then, I'll continue fanfic'ing to my heart's content.

I write for several fandoms, and hang out in several others.

Fandoms on this site where I lurk, read fanfiction, and may occasionally write for: American Dragon: Jake Long, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Avengers (movies, cartoons), Brave, Case Closed, Code Lyoko, Danny Phantom, Digimon, Fillmore!, Girl Genius, Gravity Falls, How To Train Your Dragon, Hunger Games (Books, Movies), Legend of Zelda, Legion of Super Heroes (Cartoons, Comics), Magic Knight Rayearth (Manga), My Little Pony (Friendship is Magic), Portal 1, 2 (Games), Rise of the Guardians/Guardians of Childhood, Silent Hill (Games), Static Shock (Cartoons), Steven Universe, Tamora Pierce (All categories), Tangled, Teen Titans (Cartoons), Transformers (Cartoons, Movies), Voltron: Legendary Defender, W.I.T.C.H. (Cartoons), X-Men: Evolution, Xiaolin Showdown, Yu-Gi-Oh (Cartoons)

Pairings I like: Mostly anything. By Large, I am a multishipper and I like (or at least respect,) all pairings. Do not expect any pairing consistency from me, for I truly do enjoy them all. I have favorites, of course... but I respect the story of the romance more than the romance itself. If it's well written, I can get into it, unless I really loathe one character or don't like the chemistry of the pairings. I'm a muskateer shipper - one for all and all for one. It multiplies the fics I can read by tenfold.

I'm a picky reader though. I largely avoid fics with character death, self harm, torture fics, sugar-high fics, self inserts, or lemon-lime, unless I'm in the mood.

I'm fine with Slash, though I only occasionally read it. Same with songfics, because they CAN be well written, but I don't often find myself interested. Music is an auditory art, not a visual one like writing, so translating that to text can be hard.

I really love AUs though I wish there were more that created a whole new creative universe to revel in and explore. Highschool AUs, for example, are fine, but I REALLY love something like future-fic or Zombie Apocalypse or Steampunk AUs. I just love them with all my heart. AU can be a plethora of creativity and imagination.

OCs - When I see someone else with the words "OC" in their story, or "CharA/OC", I'm cautious--you really have to catch my attention to make it worth my while. I like OCs, truly, but as with AUs, they're the best when they're creative and original. I prefer OCs that are minor, supporting characters, (since this is fanfiction, and the cannon characters should be in the spotlight) but I enjoy it when an OC is done well is put in the spotlight... it lets us see the characters through a stranger's eyes. Fun. :)

I really love drabble fics and oneshots, especially ones that elaborate on the canon series.

Faving: I don't often "favorite" stories, unless they really impress me. Trust me, I've read WAY more than the 50-some fics that are on my favorites list.

Reviewing - Love it, do it whenever I can. Reviews make me a better writer, and I've learned a lot from some of the ones I've gotten. Also, they're nice to get. :) If you've written something in one of the fandoms I lurk in, and want me to review your story, shoot me a PM. I may decline if it contains something I dislike or if I don't have time. Otherwise, I'll try to leave you a constructive review. I may only read the first chapter and decide I won't read farther, and review what I've seen so far. Or, I might read to the end, fav and alert, and review the whole story. if you ask for a review, be prepared for constructive crit. I try to be constructive but not harsh. And I am always long-winded. Don't ask for a review if you can't handle a little fire. Remember this: I don't always tell you what you want to hear, but I promise I will tell you what you need to know.

Also, I've never beta'd and never had a beta, but if you want some advice on a story before posting it, I'll be happy to help. Again, be prepared for crit.
