Name: Jennifer

Previous pennames: Jentastic, Origami Flower and Passion Fruit Fever

Age: XXXI

Been on Fanfiction since: I was 16

Residence: Merry old England

Reason for current penname: As a teenager, my favourite cartoon character was Raven of Teen Titans. Since then, I guess the name has stuck.

FUN FACT: My favourite anime is Hetalia. It teaches me history, geography, cultures and languages, it never fails to make me either laugh, squee or daww, it has great songs that I hold dear to my heart and it's helped me out of many a dark place. I love it to pieces.

Favourite quote from a television advert:-

British narrator: In the world of Pokémon Battle Dimension, there are good guys and bad guys... but who's who?

James: Maybe some interpretive dance moves will give you a clue!

British narrator: The bad guys wear dark glasses... (shows Hunter J) look mean... (shows Paul) and recite lyrics from famous songs.

Jessie: We'll climb every mountain! Forge every stream!

Jessie, James and Meowth: We're hoping! And wishing! And dreaming!

British narrator: The good guys... it's all in the moves. (shows Ash spinning and pointing)

((Yes, because only good guys got the moves, yo... XD))

Favourite quotes from Harvest Moon:-

(A New Beginning)

Dunhill: For honey don't just care of the world, the bees you put in the box is important.

((... What? XD How someone could mess up a translation THIS BADLY is beyond me...))

(The Lost Valley)

Rowan: From now on, it's all up you.

((Oh, my... XD Methinks that's not what he meant to say.))

Favourite quotes from my actual life:-

Lecturer: How many of you prefer to read books on an electronic screen?

Class: ...

Lecturer: Good on you. You all get a first!

((This was probably a blatant lie on everybody's part, but hey. XD))

Student 1: Phil? When are we getting back our essays?

Lecturer: When I've marked them.

Student 1: ... Good answer!

(a short while later)

Student 2: I wonder when Alan Wall will give us back our essays?

Student 1: (laughs) The myth of the essays... "Follow me down into Hades, Alan, so that we can search for those missing essays. You can even ask Hercules, while you're there."

Student 3: "And have some pomegranates."

Student 4: "And a taste of asphodel."

((A class that tells Ancient Greek myth jokes. You gotta love it. XD The lecturer, Alan, was quite fond of talking to us about them.))

Fic I'm least proud of:

'Through Rain and Snow?'

Why?

Because it was the first fic I ever wrote. It has a terrible plotline (which was structured around a load of songs by Girls Aloud and Shania Twain) and terrible characterisation. However, it's a milestone, so it's going to stay up as a reminder of how much my writing's improved over the years.

My moral in fanfiction:

Write the story around the characters, not the characters around the story.

(Meaning, don't bend the characters to fit around the story. Nine times out of ten, they'll be horribly out-of-character.)

Also, if you like anything of mine, be sure to leave a review! It's great for motivation and my self-esteem! I don't have much of one, y'see, so every little helps!

Heck, feel free to leave criticism, too, if you want! I'm always eager to know how to improve fics.

Knowing what I did wrong is just as important as knowing what I did right.
