OMIGOSH, Hi there, I'm Gentle-Wind! This is where I give my super hyper intro!...actually I think I'll tone it down.

Too lazy to be hyper.

So, the reason I came to FanFiction? Because I love cartoons, anime, manga, books, and movies. I fall in love with characters and want to continue on with them.

When I was younger, I would day-dream all the time, and MOST of this time involved my favorite characters from various media. I'd make up new stories for them, have them be older, have my favorite couples get together, so on and so forth. Sometimes I'd lay awake in my bed at night for hours, because it was just too much fun too stop making up the stories. So when I discovered fanfiction when I was 14, I was hooked.

But there is also more to it than that. Jaw-dropper coming up, I want to be a writer. Yes, so far I'm utterly unique. But, I really want to be able to write great stories someday, of my own creative talent, not basing it off someone else's great concepts and imagination. I actually am working on my own original projects on the side, but I feel I have a long way to go. So, what better practice than this? By basing things off someone else's great concepts and imagination... oh well :)

When I put up a story, I encourage criticism, though not anything that is just mean and bitter. If it's constructive though, and meant to help, please, by all means, go ahead. So review, review, and review again if you wish. I do want to get better. And you know, reviews make me feel warm and fuzzy and help to get me off my ass.

I'm going to write to make myself happy, because I LIKE writing, and to get better. However, if anyone out there actually ends up liking my stories, trust me, I will be ecstatic. I HAVE been ecstatic with the reviews and support I've gotten so far, and it makes me feel like I can actually maybe do this. the support for the story Tied Hearts has been just amazing!

Also, I have a beta now! Suaru-chan, a great and patient beat, who has managed to prove herself very good at straightening out my silly errors and making me sound more coherent :D

Now, at the moment I have only written Naruto stuff, and want to focus on that, but I do have many other fandoms and loves!

(Obsessions)- Very favorite, EVER, Naruto.

Moving on: Gravitation, Inuyasha, Fruits Basket, Harry Potter, Spirited Away The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Eureka, Death Note, Danny Phantom, Avatar, Double Arts, Howl's Moving Castle, Junjou Romantica, Full Metal Alchemist, and very recently South Park

Characters I Want to Steal and Keep Forever AND Ever-Uzumaki Naruto, Inuyasha, Haruno Sakura, L , Hatake Kakashi, Shindo Shuichi, Honda Tohru, Edward Elric, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Toph, Aang and REMUS LUPIN AND SIRIUS BLACK! (God, been loving them lately)

Pairings- Ok, this is where it gets complicated. See, I know people are really fierce about this sometimes, but I'm kinda not all that serious about it. I've read plenty of really good fanfics with weird pairings. If its an amazing story, and you have a weird pairing, as long as you write in a way that makes it believable, I'll enjoy it. But I guess, here it is from greatest to least

NarutoxSakura(Think this is most likely to occur at this point in the manga. They're funny and not idealized. I love it!)

RonxHermione(SO cute)

SiriusxRemus(SOOOOOOOO CUTE!)

InuyashaxKagome(This I AM serious about. Hate Kikyo. Just hate her. stabs Kikyo doll repeatedly)

KyoxTohru(sweet!)

NarutoxSasuke(All right, I know this is a bit much, but what can I say? I just want Naruto to get some much needed loving XD. and this is funny as well in a really crack sorta way.)

StanxKyle(I actually got converted to this couple at the same time I became converted to the show because of a fanfiction I read. Then I read another. And another. And now I love them - as teenager or older of course!)

Well, other random things, I like reading a lot, not just fanfics either, I'm 17(yay for r-rated movies!), I compete in Forensics, watch Disney andf Monty Python and Mel Brooks a lot with my friends, and beside my obsessions, just an average teenage girl.

First story! Hidden and ExposedIt's a oneshot about Naruto and Sakura. Not romantically though, more as friendship. Sakura gets a glimpse into what Naruto's eyes have hidden... will he let her see?

Second Story. Night in the Wind Oneshot, NaruSaku. A companion piece kinda to Hidden and Exposed, but they can be read indepedently of one another. Naruto is alone, fightng an internal battle. But Sakura comes aong and tries to break through, to offer her support to him when he desperatly needs it.

Finally, my first multi-chapter fic! It's called Tied Hearts Naruto is leaving to train in the sage arts with Fukasaku, and Sakura wistfully wishes him goodbye. But while Tsunade reflects over Jiraiya's demise, she comes up with a plan to show Naruto and Sakura wha she sees in the two of them.

See ya and thanks for reading this long bio!
