Okay, let's get a few things straight before you read anything (even if you guys are most likely not even gonna glance at this).

One, no flames. Okay, I can take criticism. If anything, I welcome honest critiques and constructive criticism. But if there is one thing I do not like, it's people who just seem to hate the world and want to take down authors simply because of their style of writing or their success. In fact, I strongly support any authors receiving any such comment or reviews. Trust me on this one, you are appreciated and your writing is not terrible simply because someone has a green-eyed monster leering over their keyboard.

Two, I am a grammar Nazi. Okay, maybe not to that extent, but I can't bear to look over my writing and see mistakes in spelling or word confusion. Therefore, I will most likely not be getting a beta. If anyone volunteers, be my guest, but most of my editing is sort of kind of automatic and most of my mistakes are just typos or Microsoft Word being stupid.

Three, some of my story pairings will most likely be OC. This isn't a 'self-insert' kind of thing though. No, I just enjoy making up characters that I find would add something to the storyline (or, in most cases, help to create a completely different storyline because I hate directly quoting things and rewriting conversations word for word). Most of my stories will be with actual characters from the series/movie/show/whatever, but some of them will probably be, as I mentioned before, OC.

Four, I tend to watch and read a lot of different things. A LOT. Tv shows, movies, anime/manga, comic books, books, cartoons... Yup. So there'll probably some sort of variety on here since I tend to get hooked on one thing at a time, and when I say hooked, I mean HOOKED. So I hope that's good for any of you.

Five, most of my writing is done by hand and then copied onto a Word document of some sort. I do this so that I can get some done during the day (because who pays attention in class, right?) and so that when I actually do get around to typing it up, I have room for tweaking. This can either mean more chapters or, if I actually have work to do, less. My posting will not be on a scheduled basis. Even so, I will try my best to get things out as fast as I can as soon as I am satisfied with them. Seriously, you have no idea how many ideas I've scrapped over the past few years.

Six, I will not demand reviews, but they are very much appreciated. Most of you on here are authors yourselves, and can understand what it's like to get that fuzzy-warm feeling of 'Oh, someone actually likes something I wrote'. It also kind of motivates me to beat my brother away from the computer more often so I can get some writing done. And trust me, motivation is something you need when you live with a sibling whose attachment to the computer seems more like a symbiotic relationship than just a love for technology. No, I am being 100% serious here. I'm not even sure which one is the parasite- my brother or the computer.

That seems to be it for now.

For any of you who wish to have a name to call me by may address me as Merida.

No, that's not my name. I just have the exact same freaking hair as the girl from "Brave".

And no, I'm not kidding, I wish I was. Seriously, it's hard enough trying to avoid notice in a crowd when your hair is orange, but when it also resembles that of a famous Pixar character? Hah, good luck.

I will leave you with this.
