Hello all! I've finally decided to write something on my profile page. I think the hardest part of being on fanfiction.net for me was creating a pen name. The fanfiction itself isn't all that difficult for me, but I had a helluva time thinking of a good user name. I wanted it to reflect me, but I didn't want to make it too specific to any one series. So, for the 3 days that I couldn't post anything, I thought a lot about the name. When I was very young, my dad used to tell me this ongoing story that he'd make up as he told it. In this story, I would be transported to a fantasy land by the crystal tornado, and I'd slide down the rainbow to get home again. I felt this was an appropriate way to pay tribute to my father, who has had a profound impact on my life.

Well, enough about that. Fanfiction has become a great hobby for me...I love how the characters are already there for me, but I can manipulate them at will. Plus, I can write the endings I always wanted to happen, yada yada yada. I watch a lot of great TV shows and read a lot of great books, but the following are what I concentrate my fanfics on: Avatar, Firefly, Samurai 7, Ceres, Inuyasha, and occasionally, The Office (plus a few crossovers therein). So, if you like any of those, you may like some of my stories...chao!
