kandisi here! Formerly known as Sapphire17 or Sapph. x) Although for anyone who still wishes to address me by my former pen, feel free to. :)

While I've changed my pen, please -- be not confused! I am *still* the same author, just decided it twas time for a change whereas my pen is concerned. There's a lot of sapphires out there, so thought I'd aim for something a bit more unique that also carries more significance to me personally.

05/24/19: Note... I am not dead (yet!) and do plan on uploading some more fanfiction here in the coming months...

About me...

Neh, there isn't much to say about me. I'm pretty weird/nutty, as everyone probably knows. I got into fanfiction 20 years ago, started writing it 17 years ago. I mostly like to write humor & crackfic, I suppose, though I do delve into angst & darkfic when the mood strikes. I like any and all genres, really. Sometimes I wonder if I will ever take the permanent hiatus from fandom, but it seems like no matter how long I stay away from it, it only takes one good dose of a video game, anime, manga, movie, comic, or television show to get me right back into it.

I also do think a lot of the stuff I've written fanfiction-wise is extremely weird, extremely scary, or extremely over-the-top cracky. I have a... really messed-up sense of humor. Sometimes, I will look back on something I wrote months or years ago and think it's too weird and/or scary and hence take it down. Some of the older stuff I wrote during my mid teen years is pretty bad, but I keep it up for old time's sake. Also, I'm not partial to a lot of the stuff I wrote during my college party phase, since I have changed a lot since then, but oh well. ;P Old fics can always be polished up, I like to think.

I'll read anything, also, and I never flame. I have a very high sense of respect for anyone who's willing to come forth and post their stories or artwork anywhere on the web for others to see, so you go guys & gals. ;)

I also admittedly have a FB (which I don't spend all that much time on and frequently take breaks from -- I use it mostly for photographs/photography and viewing that of others) but if anyone here who has a FB is interested in friending me there, please do feel free to send me a PM and we can look each other up. ;P Same with chatting, as I don't have nearly enough fandom friends these days! Most of them "moved on", so to speak, but I believe having others to talk/chat with over a mutual passion for fandom, fanfiction, fanvids and/or fanart is part of what helps to keep us motivated in the creativity department! :D

Some actors/actresses I fancy:

Will Smith, Keanu Reeves, Kyle Gallner, Mariska Hargitay, Ian Mckellen, Robert Englund, Cristine Rose, Jim Carrey, Hugh Laurie, Rufus Sewell, Uma Thurman, Andy Griffith, Angela Lansbury, Betty White, Kal Penn, Wesley Snipes, Norman Reedus, Jackie Chan, Josh Hartnett, Samuel L. Jackson, Misha Collins, Jensen Ackles, Jared Padelecki, Milo Ventimiglia, Angelina Jolie, John Ritter, Michael C. Hall, Carol Burnett, Vivian Vance, Jake Gyllenhaal, Chris Tucker, Laurie Holden, Jamie Lee Curtis, James Marsden, Famke Janssen, Morgan Freeman, Jane Lynch, Johnny Depp, Heather Morris, Taylor Momsen! (I love her style so freakin' much! While virtually none of my IRL friends know this... she was the inspiration behind my new hairstyle shortly before I signed my modeling contract... LOL.)

For those of you who still wish to read some of my fics which are not archived here, you can check out a few other Tekken fics of the more hardcore (;D) variety at my Noire Sensus profile (just google Noire Sensus Sapphire17) After the great $mut & s0ng f!c deletion scare of 2008 on this site I became weary of posting/archiving stories that fit the bill in those departments and in turn deleted many fics here -- especially in the Tekken fandom, along with a couple Heroes fanfics -- which I later came to greatly regret as, once I put more thought into it, realized that none of the fics I removed were really that off the charts enough to warrant deletion, while the s0ng f!cs simply could've had the lyrics removed. I have had a number of PM's both here and on lj requesting that the deleted fics be sent to those who inquired about wanting to read them again, so... Perhaps with a little more encouragement, I'll re-upload them here someday... especially seeing as many if not most of them aren't currently available anywhere for one's reading at the moment outside of my harddrive. *sigh*

I also have a DeviantArt account under the name "Sapphire17" (which I rarely ever update, once again due to a lack of adequate free time). But, drawing with my good ol' WACOM tablet is another neglected hobby of mine that I'm aiming to get back in to in the near-future. Well, if I get another tablet, that is... my previous one no longer has a pen to it as it was lost while I was visiting at my mother's. :( However, I should be getting a new tablet next month! :D Still, I'll require a new scanner, too, so I'll have to see how much they cost... if they're not TOO expensive, I'll try to get a new scanner next month as well... if not, I'll have to wait until July to get a new scanner.

I've also still yet to renew my domain hosting service, but when/if I do once some spendable money is freed up, I'll get back to work on my website and upload more fics there, including the ones which I feel are too off that charts to be posted here (and coming from me... that means they must be extremely off the charts in one way or another, LOL).

Also, if anyone out there is interested in posting/archiving any of my fanfictions on their websites, PM me and let me know! Same with fanarts. I just don't want them posted without my knowledge, in the way that some people stole all of my fanarts from DA and began passing them across the net. *Sighs and shakes her head.*

And of course, I'd like to give a shout out to some of my IRL and online buddies out there who either read or write fanfics, or have in some way inspired me in the past, including Merci Caro, Fuma Kat, Harmonde, Fresca, Janelle, Sara the Sauce, calisto, NextBigThing, Darkwing, crazybunny, Salysha, Tiger, Boisterous Hal, draco, darylchan, petrelli heiress, Koorime, Link621, queenoftheoutlands, rtwofan, Judin, Jade, Indigo Siren, BillyMartinFan, MB, Lina, pocket, racoonalin, Kazuya-sama, Chlover, ChibiShiva, Kimberley, and many others. Especially the wonderful Nan! :)

Well, keep spreading the fandom love, everyone. ;D

Peace!
