![]() Author has written 3 stories for Fullmetal Alchemist. What am I supposed to write here? What could anybody possibly want to know about me? If you're even reading this it means that you hit some button by accident. Otherwise, you wouldn't know I existed. Huh...so, why are you here? Well, as long as you are here, I guess I'd better entertain you for a while. My name is Rachel, which is a very common name, no? In Japanese, it's (re-i-che-ru, but the 'r' makes more of an 'l' sound, and you kind of die out towards the end of the word, so if you say it, it should sound like lay-e-chel) How old am I, you ask? Sixteen, thank you. And I just got my first phone. How cool am I? Anyway, I like: Teen Titans (The TV show. BECAUSE THEY ARE COOL!!) Fullmetal Alchemist (As you can see from my picture. And just so you know, it's spelled Fullmetal, not FullMetal, or Full Metal. One word, one capital letter. I hate it when people write it wrong. BTW, I mean the anime, not the manga, or the novels, or the anime based on the manga. I don't do manga. I really don't do anime either, except for Fullmetal, Detective Conan, and Sailor Moon!!) I'll also read Naruto or Harry Potter, but only if they're really good, and I will almost never read a crossover. I usually don't know the other characters from whatever the crossover show is. However, I've found that FMAxHP crossovers are usually very good. Hmmm... now, as standard (at least on every profile I've seen) I have to tell you which pairings I like and don't like. Let's get started, shall we. Teen Titans: RobxRae - they just seem to click to me, and they're really similar; I already know it isn't cannon, don't pester me, but Starfire sort of annoys me half of the time; Robin and Raven make more sense to me BBxTerra - well, this one is cannon, no denying that; they went on a date, so stop pairing him with Raven, please; I liked Terra; even though she betrayed them, she did it because she thought that they would reject her - you know, a sort of, 'I'll hurt them before they hurt me' mentality; I was so sad watching the last episode - she didn't even remember Beastboy... cries CyxBee - they flirt, you know they do, and they seem to like each other - a love-hate thing, sorta; anyway, they look cute together KFxJinx - I don't know if this one is considered cannon, but it seems like it to me; they have 'chemistry', and Kid Flash is all daring and stuff; Jinx has as big of a crush on him as Cyborg did on her Detective Conan/Magic Kaito: I really like all of the cannon pairings, ShinichixRan, HattorixKazuha, KaitoxAoko, you know, all that good stuff. But I also like KAISHIN!! Even though they're basically identical, I love it. And it doesn;t have to be romance, anything works, as long as they aren't like, mortal enemies, or something. I also like KIDxConan. It's strange, but cool. P.S. people, his name is Kuroba Kaito, his alter ego is Kaitou KID. Capital KID. Honestly, his first name has no 'u' in it. Do you know what 'Kaitou' means? It means "Phantom Thief", ok? Kaito without the 'u' is just a name. Fullmetal Alchemist. Ah... where do I begin? Well first, let me point out that I have trouble deciding which Ed pairings that I like, because in all honesty, I don't think that anyone is good enough for Ed. Really, he's just too amazing. But if I had to choose Ed pairings, I would choose: EdxWinry - because, if Winry doesn't act like a bimbo in the story, it's very ok; Winry is the only girl that I will ever accept paired with Ed - Rose and Noa need to go crawl into a hole and die RoyxEd - only if it's written well; if 25 percent of a RoyxEd story is lemon, or hints suggesting it, I'm not reading it - but I've found that RoyxEd writers are very good stylistically, and the RoyxEd love always comes across as more genuine than others Elricest is ok sometimes, but sometimes it bothers me. It is usually very well written, much like RoxEd, but incest bothers me a little. I don't think that Trisha would be proud of her sons, but some very good authors write Elricest, and I respect their views. What I really enjoy are Parental!RoyxEd fics. They warm up my heart. The best kind are when Ed is sick, or in any sort of danger. It makes for excellent stories. Moving on to other Fullmetal pairings: Royai - I find Roy and Riza as the most cannon pair on the show (excluding TrishaxHoenhiem, of course); they go well together, and it's quite obvious, especially in the last few episodes, that they are attracted to each other, and care for each other deeply AlxMarta (or Martel, the snake chimera) - I can never find enough of these stories, and it upsets me greatly; it seems to me that Al had a crush on Marta, and he was very shaken by her death... poor Al, he's so cute, especially in my pic up there; he looks like he's ready for trouble... heh, his smirk is a bit like Ed's AlxWinry - if it's well written, I think it's sweet, especially since I have that 'Nobody's good enough for Edward' complex; if Ed's not gonna be with Winry, Al is the next in line, obviously That's about it for pairings. I enjoy lots of genres, and my favorites are torture/abuse fics, because I'm that type of person. I absolutely hate self-inserts, paired with the characters of the show/book or not. Mary-Sues are the worst, but really, I can't stand the self-insets in general. I will accept them rarely in a Teen Titans fic, as maybe a friend, but never as a pairing, and I hate all self-inserts in Fullmetal with a passion, unless some actual characters have a child or something. And please, DO NOT make Ed's daughter a girl version of himself. She does not have to wear a jacket, wear her hair in a braid, have an automail arm and leg, attempt human transmutation, become the new youngest alchemist to join the military, be able to transmute without a circle, or hate Roy Mustang. PLEASE, I'M BEGGING YOU! Give her some individuality, ok? |
