About Me: 안녕하세요! My friends call me Rei. I'm practically drowning in k-dramas, anime, video games, and webtoons, so I'm your ordinary fangirl who loves to write. ;)

[You are being warned. If there are some stories here that make you cringe, well, don’t worry. I feel the same way.]

About my works published in the year 2014/2013, I have not forgotten them, but I will take time in completing them one by one and rewriting them to my liking.

I often have a million ideas in my mind, so I try to get them out as much as I can, resulting in my 45 fanfics here which are... mostly incomplete. Oops?

About Me:

[X] My pen name, Her Pretty Smile, is something I came up with on-the-spot when I signed up on FFN. Now it’s more of a sentimental attachment than anything else.

[X] When I'm not wearing a college uniform, everyone mistakes me for a grade schooler. :/

[X] I love writing stories. This is evident because I've written a lot of fics ever since I joined this site. My problem is that I have a short attention span. I often drift away from a current story to write a new one based on another new annoying plot bunny. Also, while I'm typing, I'd find myself distracted by something and thus, only about 500-800 words are accomplished in the duration of 30-40 minutes.

[X] In short, I'm a random, late updater.

[X] I chose the pen name Aubrey because it was my mom's old pen name.

[X] And I chose Rei because it's the pronunciation of the first part of my real name.

[X] English is my third language, so I apologize for any glaring mistakes in my grammar and spelling.

My Stories (or those which are in-progress at the moment in order of their priority):

1. Naruto Shippūden: The Legendary Team「伝説のチーム」 [CHAPTER 22 - 1% DONE; university is dragging me to my knees]

[X] The first time I've ever seriously planned out a fanfic. Even after two years have passed, I started re-watching the Naruto series just so I can be reminded and motivated again to continue this. Also, one other reason is because of my readers. Their thoughts about this epic time-travel story I've been having fun writing about really melts my heart and I'm so glad that they're enjoying this!

[X] This is also the first time I've ever written so many chapters. It still surprises me that I've written 17 chapters already and I'm still game to write more. I never really cared much about the Naruto universe, especially its timeline of events, the technicalities of their techniques and training, but when I started on this fic, I began researching like crazy and found out a lot of interesting stuff. I also figured out (possibly) how to tweak the facts and twist the events to my liking. Admittedly, it's the magic of writing a time-travel fanfic.

[X] This fic managed to take form and grow because of many things: (1) my intense love for Minato and Kushina, (2) my intense love for Itachi and Shisui, (3) my craving for Team 7 goodness, (4) my craving for a time-travel fic with SasuSaku, NejiTen, ShikaTema, and MinaKushi as the pairings, (5) my weird fixation on a Team 7 x Sakura romance, because I'm a MultiSaku shipper tbh, (6) my wish for Team 7 to stand on equal grounds, because I want Kakashi and Sakura to be powerful, too! (pouts), (7) there are a few characters in the series whom I wish to live forever, (8) and my interest in twisting the Naruto story in a different way than what Kishimoto-sensei did. Nevertheless, I love Naruto deeply; it's been a part of my life ever since I was 7-8 years old. It will always be my top favourite anime of all time.

2. Weekly Visits [CHAPTER 9 - 70% DONE]

[X] My first LuNami multi-chapter fic. It was supposed to start out as a small drabble series, nothing too serious. But then I underestimated the amount of interest people have taken in this story, lol. Looks like I'll have to finish it as soon as possible and create a good plot out of it!

[X] This stemmed from a plot bunny I had in my head a few years back: what if One Piece in Raftel isn't actually as it seems? What if it's actually going to break up the Strawhat crew? Kind of exaggerating, I know, but I indulged this idea and poof! Weekly Visits was written.

[X] To be honest, along with Naruto Shippūden: The Legendary Team「伝説のチーム」, I lost the outline for these fanfics two years ago because of a stubborn virus on both my USB and PC, so I really had no choice but to re-format all my data. I had no backups on the internet, so... well, you could say that my motivation went from level 100 to 0 real quick. Even now, I forgot about all my previous ideas, which is why I'm having a hard time recalling them and re-doing research on these fics. Anyway, it's no big deal once I get started, because I still love writing these two stories!

3. FT: The Mistress of the Universe

[X] Ah... Here goes my old fic in which I tried really hard not to make Lucy into a Mary-Sue but I think I've failed on that. Like Weekly Visits, I've lost my planned-out ideas for this story too, so woe is me. T_T Why does this have to be so hard...

[X] This fic stemmed from my desire to re-write the Fairy Tail universe with some hints of NaLu, GrayLu, GrayTear, Miraxus, JerZa, and LyVia. It was really fun writing this, but I'll have to decide whether or not I'll continue this, or if I do continue it, when I should start writing the next chapter.

4. Bleach Movie 5: The Otherworld [PART SIX - 87% DONE]

[X] Let me first say "Hooray~!" because I finally found Chapter 6 in my long-forgotten folder on my old tablet! Unfortunately, I've already forgotten most of the storyline of Bleach, so this is going to be difficult... Although I'm itching to finish this, I still gotta rewrite it, because boy, my writing back then was really ridiculous. T_T It's... I don't know, too lame? Too brief? It will literally drive me crazy if I don't rewrite this into a better, solid version. Maybe after I finish re-watching Naruto, I'll re-watch Bleach next. Hopefully, I'll still have a spark for this series!

[X] I just really, really wanted to write a Movie fic for this anime. I love many ships in Bleach, so I wanted to write them in it! A rabid fangirl's dream...

5. Just One Chance

[X] First off, I really hate the title... T_T

[X] Well, I wanted to write a time-travel fic of Gakuen Alice. I loved the manga when I was in high school, and I was also crazy for RukaRu back then. I wanted to end the series better than the open ending the mangaka gave, but alas, I don't think I would be able to start writing this again... not right now, to be specific. I've long lost my spark for Gakuen Alice, but perhaps if I start re-reading it...

[X] I underestimated the amount of interest in this fic, too. I never knew how much people really like my fic, up to the point where I'd get a few PMs asking if I would be able to update this. It makes me feel really bad, so I figured, why not try starting it up again?

6. The Colour of Her Eyes

[X] Well... This is awkward. I planned on finishing this in the next two chapters, but again, my outline for this story was erased... I have absolutely no idea how to continue this now. I know I liked writing this back then, but now I have no clue. What should I dooooo T_T

[X] This fic was an excuse to write a slow-burn NaLu story. Except, I don't think I did well with the slow-burn part...

Shameless Plug: I recently published a mini-novel on Tapas and Royalroad! My pen names there is Aubrey Lewis and my novel is named Into a Fantasy. Please check it out if any of you are interested! :)
