"I have seen the truth, and the truth has made me odd." -- Flannery O'Connor

My name comes from the Japanese word "Dojo", meaning a martial arts school, because I study Aikido and Iaido. Iaido is the art of drawing the Japanese sword. The "Ghost" part comes from the sad fact that I'm practically never at my dojo anymore...

Thank you thank you thank you to anyone and everyone who takes the time to read my meagre efforts, especially those who review and subscribe. You honor me :)

And thank you to all the writers out there of whom I simply stand in awe. I bow to a skill far greater than my own ;)

...And for heaven's sake, folks are actually writing fanfic based off of my fanfic! Bellatrix Le Fey wrote a poem based on "We Who Are About to Die" (the poem has the same name), here's the link: http://www.fanfiction.ws/s/5315974/1/We_Who_Are_About_To_Die

You don't know how touched I am that my readers are affected enough by my work to use their talents to create stuff based on my little stories. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

Personal Info:

Name: DojoGhost, err...

Age: Old enough to know what Jack Sparrow sees in rum. Legally. And that's all you're getting :D

Gender: F

Occupation: Student. Perpetually. (It's pretty sad, really...)

Things You'll Never See in my Sweeney Todd Fics:

1.) Nellie will never:

Get slammed against a wall - for any reason ;)

Get pregnant

Get raped (This happens FAR too much around here and I really wonder what the fascination is. It's kind of sad, and almost scary :/ Besides which, when Todd is the culprit in these situations, being a serial killer doesn't automatically make him a rapist. Not to mention the fact that if he did approach her she'd be more than willing. So how is this justified by the portrayal in the film? I mean really, where are people getting this from? On second thought, maybe I really don't want to know...)

Get beaten to a pulp by Albert

Develop a life-threatening illness

Live in hope that Sweeney will turn back into Benjamin

Have sex with Toby (Because some things are just plain wrong.)

2.) Sweeney will never:

Beat Nellie to a pulp, cut her with his razor, or otherwise assault her (heck, he's got customers for that)

(Addendum: Well, he might rough her up in the bake house over the course of an alternate ending...)

Call Nellie "the" wrong name during intimate moments (arguments don't count!)

Kill Nellie :D

Call Nellie a whore (hey, this is a family show!!)

Fall in love with an OC (I mean, seriously, Todd and Lovett were made for each other...if he's not going to fall for her somehow, he's not going to fall for anyone)

Go back to being Benjamin Barker

Have sex with Anthony (ewww...)
