Well, I'm a female college student in the US. I've been reading fan fictions here for a while and finally decided to contribute something of my own. I'm beginning to understand all the author's notes and profile messages I've read desperately asking for reviews, because frankly the feedback is very useful and encouraging. I decided to write my second story because someone liked my first short and I suspect I'll write more as my classes allow.

Summer break! Hooray... Damn it, I live in the desert! I'm not supposed to look forward to working so I can be in an air conditioned building. No summer classes this year, but I do need to study for the LSAT, GRE, and Japanese. I'll try to speed up the update pace since ts summer, but I have thpse things to deal with too.

Here is the standard favorite anime and manga

Anime: Sailor Moon (Japanese Dub w/ English subs is so much better), Bleach, Fairy Tail, Zero no Tsukamia, Gundam Wing, Trinity Blood, Princess Resurrection (odd at first, but worth the laughs later), Read or Die(manga for it sucks, and Read or Dream is even worse, but the anime is marvelous), Full Metal Panic, and Ranma 1/2.

Manga: Fortune Arterial, Nurarihyon no Mago, High School of the Dead(unfortunately drawn for guys), Fairy Tail, Princess Resurrection (more complete than the anime), Full Metal Panic Sigma, Zero no Tsukamia(the novel is very good and far ahead of the manga) , Samurai High School, Sailor Moon(much darker than the anime. Dark moon circus arc is actually good), 1/2 Prince (same as Zero, but its behind the manga), and The Gokusen (anime was pretty good to, but it wasn't a complete story, this is)

Post Update Commentary: (5/17/12) My God! People have actually been going to my profile page? That's new. I suspect most of you aren't reading my commentary and are just using this page to flip through my stories. Its what I generally do when I click on someone's profile page, so I can't blame you if you are doing that. I apologize for anything that seems less thought out than normal for this last chapter, but I needed to post it so I could focus on finals. They're done, and so I've re-edited the chapter in case anyone only saw it within the first few days I posted it. I also have a request to all of my readers whose primary language isn't English: Please review! I don't care how bad your English is, I read fan-fiction and have many family members for whom English isn't their first or even second language, believe me when I say I'm good at figuring out what someone is trying to tell me. Also, worst case scenario, I can stick your native languages into a translator or even ask someone either in my classes or at home what the hell it says. Plus, I can actually read enough German, Spanish, French, Russian, and Japanese to get by, so seriously please review my stories! I want to know what you guys think too!
