*July 28, 2013 Notice* I have officially self published my first book! If you have been enjoying my writing on here and AO3, please consider checking out the detailed description of my book, "Lost and Found"! You can get a print copy here, an ebook copy here, and you can also check out the Amazon Europe purchasing links for those outside of North America.

August 17, 2012 Notice* To everyone coming to my profile, whether you are new to my stories or old friends. Someone reported my stories as having 'inappropriate content' and FFnet deleted 25 of my stories without any warning or chance to fix the issue last night. I have lost the stories and all reviews associated with them that I have worked for over the last two years. I plan to repost my stories after editing them (by the time you read this I might have already reposted), but they will be censored. In my opinion, after censoring my stories the quality will decrease. Because of this, I would strongly encourage anyone interested in reading my full, uncensored stories to read my work on Archive of Our Own. All of the stories taken down by FFnet are still up on AO3, posted in full and will never be censored. I will also be using AO3 as my primary posting website from now on since I want my stories to be read the way I write them.

I will not be allowed to post all my stories on this website in the future since they do not meet the rating restrictions, so if you only follow me here then you will miss out on the majority of my stories.

The link to my AO3 profile is directly below. I would also strongly recommend you "Subscribe" to me on AO3 so that you receive an email notification every time I post a story on that website. You are also welcome to follow me on Tumblr (link also below) in order to stay up to date about my stories.

*Archive of Our Own: You can find all of my fanfiction work posted here: http:///users/OneWhoSitsWithTurtles

*Tumblr: Guess who has a tumblr? That's right, I do! And I'm actually really enjoying (addicted to) it. I will be posting a lot of short little comments about upcoming stories and writing progress, and maybe even story snippets if I feel like it and if people are interested. Though it'll mainly be for me to post other entertaining things for you guys to see. So if you're interested in more story information, or just want to get to know me more in terms of my non-writing interests, you should follow me. Actually, you should follow me anyway because I'll feel a lot less stupid about having a blog if someone follows me: http:///

DeviantART: I am continuing to expand my stories outward as much as I can. I've had this account for years and just never used it, so that's why the pen names don't match up. But yes, you can find my stories, and a few random photos on my DA page as well (since photography is the only type of art I can manage): http:///

-About Me-

I really enjoy trying to get into characters’ heads and doing my best to write from ‘their’ perspective. I like to write what I think is realistic for that character in whatever situation they happen to be in.

As a weird little tidbit, I get a lot of my story ideas from my dreams as I almost always remember my dreams. Besides fanfictions, I am also writing some original fiction in my spare time. My friend and I have written five novels together during the last few summers, which has been great experience. I also have an original novel planned out, and I am researching/gaining experience with self publishing. This summer I am hoping to sit down and write the novel and look into self publishing, and you guys will be the first to know if/when this happens :)

Also, I'm really friendly. Feel free to PM me or review, and know that you will likely get a response. I really appreciate reviews, comments and constructive criticism so please feel free. I’m also willing to beta stories or act as a sounding board, though I'm not the fastest responder. However I love helping other people in writing stories. So seriously, please talk to me if you have anything to say or have any questions.

-Fanart-

I just want to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has drawn fanart for my stories. I cannot express my gratitude enough. I absolutely adore seeing my imagination translated into beautiful artwork, and I cannot think of a higher compliment than the fact that you liked my story enough to be inspired to draw a scene. You are all amazing and you have my love.

Please check out the artwork of the following artists via the links I post by their names. Just copy and paste the link into your browser. They have all done some fanart for my stories that you'll be able to find by browsing their folders, and they also have other amazing art that is definitely worth checking out. I apologize for not being able to post direct links to every piece of fanart, but FFnet has recently put restrictions on profiles and we are no longer allowed to post links. I don't think anyone would thank me for a massive profile with a million links haha.
