A proud member of the Sue Slayers.

About me and my writing:

I'm Opal, well, that is what you can call me anyway. Fanfiction is a delicious guilty pleasure of mine.

I'm an eighteen-year-old university student with a love for literature and obscure T.V. shows. :)

Ships

Oh man, I'll ship just about anything, unless it's boring (coughArtemis/Minervacough). I'll read just about anything too, if it is well written. But I tend to shy away from some of the more boring ships (coughFAXcough). If it has a killer summary I'll read it, but I just don't like to be bored.

Beta'ing

I'll Beta you if you want. Read my beta profile for that. :D

Rock, Paper, Scissors

"I understand that Scissors can beat Paper, and I get how Rock can beat Scissors, but there's no fucking way Paper can beat Rock. Paper is supposed to magically wrap around Rock leaving it immobile? Why the hell can't paper do this to scissors? Screw scissors, why can't paper do this to people? Why aren't sheets of college ruled notebook paper constantly suffocating student as they attempt to take notes in class? I'll tell you why, because paper can't beat anybody, a rock would tear that shit up in 2 seconds. When I play rock/ paper/ scissors, I always choose rock. Then when somebody claims to have beaten me with their paper I can punch them in the face with my already clenched fist and say, oh shit, I'm sorry, I thought paper would protect you, you asshole."
