12.08.08 - HAPPY HOLIDAYS, EVERYONE.

I'll try to update Struck soon, but Unbreakable is on indefinite hiatus.

Other than that, I might write something Pandora Hearts related... Inspiration's been kind of nonexistent lately. Well, at least I do have a new M&M drabble up: Crash and Burn.

As always, reviews are love

I am currently a freshman at UCLA interested in majoring in English, so any and all reviews are greatly appreciated. I enjoy constructive criticism so please don't be shy.

A little about myself:

I was born in Bulgaria and am fluent and literate in both Bulgarian and English. Due to my deep interest in and strong ability to learn different laguages, I am also currently studying Japanese and am interested in perhaps adding Italian, Russian, and Latin at a later time.

I love Japanese anime and manga (as evidenced by my works, I suppose) and also enjoy drawing, mainly with pencil and/or ink, in that style. Another big hobby of mine is cosplay and for anyone interested, please come check out my costumes at my cosspace account or my photobucket cosplay album.

Other than that, I am mainly interested in fantasy-fiction writing, English composition in general, and a bit of journalism and editing. History and politics are also fun for me, though I must say I don't care much for the sciences and pretty much loathe math.

Favorite anime/manga:

in no particular order: Fullmetal Alchemist, Naruto (and Shippuuden), Godchild, Wolf's Rain, Saiunkoku Monogatari, Death Note, Chrno Crusade, Bleach, Cowboy Bebop, Blood(Plus), Kyou Kara Maou, Loveless, D.Gray-man

Favorite pairings: Sasu/Saku; Neji/Ten; Shika/Tem; Roy/Riza; Haji/Saya; Ryuuki/Shuurei; Chrno/Rosette; Ron/Hermione

I'm not a huge fan of yaoi, but I'm rather fond of these pairings if they stay fairly clean: Sasu/Naru; Riff/Cain; Matt/Mello; Ran Shuuei/Ri Kouyuu; Yuuri/Wolfram

Thanks for your interest in my works and please let me know what you think!

Fanfics:

Just to let everyone know, I do mostly ONESHOTS. I'm a very busy person, and unfortunately rarely get as much time as I'd like for writing, so when i get an idea, it tends to be oneshot-ish.

I have been working on longer fics lately, however, especially my ongoing, epic-sized Unbreakable, written with my very good friend Hitoshi-chan. I have a few more multi-chaptered works going on, but I think so far all of those appear to be heading for a less-than-10-chapters finish. -shrug- We'll see.

Like I said, I'm rather fond of oneshots. The following are as of now my only ongoing fics:

UNBREAKABLE: I'm trying to keep this one being updated roughly every other month, and if we can get it to once a month it would be wonderful. I usually tend to upload late at night, however, since I'm a horrible night-owl and hardly ever get to bed before 3am, so updates will probably be discovered the next day (unless some readers are horrible night-owls as well... XD )

STIGMATA: Another Matt/Mello I'm currently working on. I will try to post the first chapter soon, but I've kind of been having writer's block with this one so it may not be up for a while. I'm not sure how long it will be, but it will be based on canon Death Note... as much as canon killed me. Maybe I won't write the ending... Depending on how much I can stand to torture myself and my two favorite characters...

STRUCK: AU M&M in a college setting. This was written with insipiration from the song Paralyzer by Finger Eleven and it probably won't be very long. Maybe about four chapters, I think, one for each line of the song's chorus. Anyway, this should be up pretty quickly.

More? So I've been working on a few other projects...all M&M... I'll post updates and hopefully the stories soon... Sorry, guys. College sucks.

Please read, enjoy, and feel free to critique! Reviews are immensely appreciated, and I really love to get to know my readers so if you want to get in touch, I enjoy PMs. Thanks a lot, everyone!
