Hm. Writing about myself in a large, blank space.. Why doesn't that sit well with me?

Oh well.

Right, the basics:

I am a twenty-three year old female (last I checked...)

I live in a small/medium/large - I really have no idea what people would class it as size wise - town called Bangor, located in good ol' Norn Iron, or Northern Ireland to most. I feel that I should point out that my nationality is British, not Irish. The distinction doesn't bother me in the slightest, but my mother has been, and always will be, adamant that I point this out to new people. So yeah, that's for her. You're welcome mother.

And oh yeah, the name's Tori. How on earth did I not think of that as the very first 'basic'? Weird.

My user name derived from a socially retarded friend of mine - don't get me wrong, I adore the girl with body and soul - who liked to get creative with my nicknames; Toringtino, Toritoes, Toriolio, and the likes. She's now doing art in college, so I guess all that creativity paid off. Yay! Um, feel free to call me any of those mentioned. Or anything you want really, I honestly don't mind as, chances are, we will never meet in person, so you will be free of any physical reprimanding - yah lucky duckies.

In all honesty, I cannot for the life of me remember how I first fell into fanfiction - or more specifically yaoi fanfiction - all I do know is that for the last several months of my life, I have had no life, and that's all thanks to this site. Not that I lament the time dwindled away, heavens no. I couldn't be happier. I feel that my life is now a little more complete with all the boy love I've crammed into it.

I've been writing for many a year, my own fantasy novels which I hope and pray I will one day get published when they're complete, but I've since been dabbling in yaoi fanfics and hope to be posting quite a few up for your enjoyment - and my own, of course. But as well as being completely certifiable thanks in large to high doses of caffeine, I am also a terrible procrastinator - translated into lazy as all holy sin. I also get...very...easily...uhh...yeah...distracted. See? It's just that easy. So when I do start posting, apologies if I keep you waiting for undetermined lengths of time. I'm sorry, okay?

Yes, right...so... Hn.

Feel free to drop me a line if you feel so inclined to do so, and as soon as I figure out how, I will get back to you with, uh, well whatever it is that you need. Within reason people. No asking for riches or wishes or any of that jazz, 'cause I simply can't deliver on such things.

Ah. For feeling incredibly intimidated at the start, I sure have rambled on. Peace out my sweets.

Ciao.

Tori.

P.S. avatar belongs to one lookingback7 on Deviantart. Such a drool-worthy pic - Shirosaki as a sword swinging, badass cowboy. Who wouldn't want a piece of that pie? Delicious.

Update 06/04/2012: Amazing people deserve amazing praise;

Apple (vivaciousRingo): A quirky ball of hyperactivity-induced madness. She's my muse and temptress all rolled into one. And apparently she's in my eye... Ahaah~ Get it? Pfft. I know, I suck. Love yah, mah delicious! Don't ever leave me, bish - I couldn't breathe without ya and you know it!

Belle (caribou.and.cake): What can I say? Such an exquisitely talented authoress, an absolute joy ta chat to, and all round wonderfully unique human being. Or at least I assume she is... She never told me any different. For any interested, we have a collaboration situation going on under the name of toribelle615. Exciting times ahead, I can tell ya! Much love, Belle. You make the trials and tribulations of writing all worth while - for serial.

Isty (IstariaDragon): Aa, if ever there was a cuter soul, then I certainly haven't heard of it! She's a little star - and something of a minx~ Ya know it's true, Isty! She tends to fuel my passion when it's running low, and, even though I get distracted from what I should be doing (for shame!), I couldn't possibly thank her enough for pushing me onwards. Pure awesomesauce.

There are others out there who come back ta visit me time and time again; Hollow Ichigo-Ichigo, Lio, Faith, Lenex, hehehehehohoProductions0, IILesGeMeAuxII, AmericanTragedy... An' more, am sure. I cannot accurately express my undying and eternal gratitude to all of you. You all rock my freaking world six ways from Sunday.

Buckets of love to you all, GrimmIchi soul-mates.
