Status: Too old to be writing fanfiction. However, it's like a bad addiction and relapse happens. I hope to one day write my own original story; I also hope for world peace. Your guess is as good as mine over which will happen first. My typing is horrendous, literally. My keyboard cries tears of blood from my failure. Still, I do try to double check, but I don't always give myself enough time when looking things over. I've looked for a beta, because I think it would be cool to have someone to work with. Ofcourse, It's hard to find someone who is both mature and still active. Perhaps, that is another sign that I really should move on, sigh.

I write stories about minor character and I am a proponent of strong female characters. I like angst, but I also like adventure and humor. Unfortunately I like angst/adventure/humor doesn't sound as good. I also apparently mix up American and brittish spellings, and I'm an AMerican o.0. I am not big into romances that sacrifice plot and character development.

You should also know when I read romances, I read crack. I love crack relationships and the only anime that ever sold me on canon was Slayers.
