UPDATE OVER!!

WARNING!!

I am a very lazy wannabe writer that has college and homework/exams to deal with. I am apologizing in advance for late updates.

Also I am a harsh critic so if I have reviewed your story and you're not happy about what I said then I'm sorry for hurting your feelings. But this is a writing community where you're supposed to help each other become better at writing. I personally want to become a better writer but I can't do that if I'm being told everything is sunshine and daisies when it isn't. I know I'm, not the best out there and that I'm not a published author but I still take my writing and what I read seriously. It may be because my mum's a very harsh critic and its rubbed off on me be that's just how I review. Like it or lump it cause if you like it or not I'm telling you these things to help you improve. So if you want a totally honest, unbiased opinion then ask me to look at your story and I'll be happy to.

WARNING OVER!!

Interests

Books

Alice In Wonderland series, Poison Study series, Harry Potter series, Wuthering Heights, The Hunger Games Series, Bran Hambric Series, Sherlock Holmes series, Twilight(it's okay, not super but good for mindless entertainment.), Hannibal Lector Series, Four Past Midnight, Dark Half, Death Note, Sweep series, Balefire series. Books about Bugs.

Films

District 9, Serenity, Firefly, Doctor Who, Torchwood, Fringe etc. Disney Classics like Beauty and the Beast, Alice In Wonderland, Mulan, Hunchback of Notre Dame etc. SyFy's Alice, Tin Man, Sin City, V for Vendetta, Pan's Labyrinth, MirrorMask, Labyrinth, RENT, Phantom of the Opera, Dark Knight and every Batman movie minus Batman and Robin, Secret Window. Classics, Halloween(original- the remake sucked), Nightmare on Elm Street(1,2,3,4,5, 6-was just plain funny, 7 and 2010-not as bad as people say. 2 wasn't so good and made no sense to me), Goonies, Home Alone 1 and 2(third one wasn't as good), Back to the Future (all), Dracula(1931), Frankinstine(1931), Psycho, Lost Boys. Bones, Tagart, CSI. I like a lot of movies. RiffTrax over pretty much every movie is hillarious.

Games

Heavy Rain, Mario games, Mirror's Edge, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Assassin's Creed, Beatles Rock Band, Guitar Hero, Bayonetta, Phoenix Wright/Apollo Justice, Kingdom of Hearts: 365/2 days(only one I've played). Interactive novel stories like Hotel Dusk.

Music

I listen to pretty much everything that I like, not dependent on style. I adore The Beatles, POGO(remixer, look up on youtube), Dido,Florence The Machine, 30 Seconds to Mars, Savage Garden, Panic! At The Disco, Paramore, Aphex Twin, Metric and Regina Specktor. I also like some of Lady Gaga's songs (admit it! Their catchy!).

Stories on the Go:

Rabbit Heart(Alice In Wonderland):

“But “Alice In Wonderland” is just a children's book.” She said, looking down with a look of confusion and fear. Sighing Hatter scooted closer to her and put a hand on her shoulder.“Just because it's a story doesn't mean it can't happen.” Alice Reid has been transported into Wonderland after falling into a mirror that was anonymously delivered to her shop. Now she has to find her way back before Wonderland kills her.

Psychobabble(A Nightmare on Elm Street(2010)):

A Nightmare on Elm Street fic. Based on the 2010 remake. A year after Freddy's rampage, Nancy's life is finally getting back to normal. Then she starts to dream again. Teenagers are dropping like flies while Nancy and Quentin remain unharmed. Someone is keeping Freddy away, but who? And why?

Stories I'm Considering:-

Rose Red or Fall into Place

Heavy Rain fic. Still in the plotting and considering the best line of attack stage so, if I do end up posting it will be when "Rabbit Heart" is finished. This is ‘cause I will end up leaving one of them if I have two running at the same time. Curse you tiny attention span! (Summary is a work in progress)A year after the Origami Killer case, Norman is called back to the god forsaken city. A copy cat is on the lose, self intitled Rose Red and is killing not only children, but teenagers as well. Now he has to juggle the new ARI model, the killer and his nosy psychiatrist whose been asigned to his case. How can he save the victims if he can't save himself?

Inspiration for "Rabbit Heart"(will be updated every so often)

MirrorMask

SyFy's "Alice"
