This is the profile of the allmighty Hotaru Kasumi...

For all of those who might care, my name is Elissa. I'm seventeen years old and in my senior year in high school. My life consists of GEC (Great Expectations Choir), school, drama club, and writing. I've got a 4.2 GPA, and I like it (it is possible people). When I graduate, I'd like to go to A&M, or possibly OSU, though my friend and I have planned to apply to all of the best ones in the Country, and a few in Europe. Also, please note that it is not programed in my sytem to write depressing endings, unless I can't possibly twist it around, and even then it won't be drastically depressing. I don't know what it is...

Song Of The Week: Over The Moon from Rent

Last night, I had a dream
I found myself in a desert called Cyberland
It was hot
My canteen had sprung a leak and I was thirsty
Out of the obice walked a cow, Elsey
I asked if she had anything to drink she said
Only thing to do is just over the moon
They've closed everything real down
Like barns and trophs and...
Preformin' Spaces
And replaced it all with lies and rules and
Virtual Life... But there is a way out

OOOOOOO
Only thing to do is jump over the moon

I gotta get outta here
It's like i'm being tied to the hood of
a yellow rental truck being packed in with fertilizer and fuel oil pushed over a cliff by a suicidal
mickey mouse
I gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta find a way... to jump over the moon
Only thing to do is jump over the moon
Then a little bulldog entered
His name we have learned was Benny
And although he once had principles he abonded to live as a lapdog to a wealthy daughter of the
revolution
1..2..3
That's bull he said
Ever since the cow took off with the fiddle that cows been jumpy
And the dish and the spoon were evicted from the table and elopped
And she had trouble with the milk and the mood ever since maybe it was a female thing
But who'd wanna leave cyberland anyways!
Bulls ain't so bad
The dish and the spoon for instance their down on their luck they come knockin' on my doghouse door
and i said "Not in my backward utensils, go back to china!" (bideebong)
The only way out is up, elsey whispered to me
A leap of faith
Still Thirsty? Parched
HAve some milk
As i lowered myself beneath her and held my mouth to her swollen utters and sucked the sweetest milk
i have ever tasted!
Climb on board she said and as a harvest moon rose over cyberland we reared back we sprang into a
gallop leaping out of orbit i awoke singing
OOOOOO
Only thing to do
Only think to do is jump
Only thing to do is jump Over the moon
Only thing to do is jump Over the moon
OVer the moon
Over the ...

I'm all about the impossible...

I love stories about things that will never happen. Anything about Kagome running off, getting captured by Sesshoumaru and falling in love with him, or Kagome getting hurt by Inuyasha and getting comforted by Miroku. Don't get me wrong, I love a good Inu/Kag, but there's nothing better than a well written Sess/Kag, Mir/Kag, or even a Kog/Kag every once and a while.

In case you couldn't tell by now, I am odd.

A few things that irritate me to no end when I'm reading stories...

-When people write about something that they clearly don't know anything about. You don't sound smart, if anything you soud really stupid. Stick with the stuff you know.

-When someone places an adjective in front of a verb or noun for the sake of sounding smart, or thinking it makes them a better writer. I'm all for descriptivness, but my English teacher from eigth grade always used to say show, not tell. If you're going to describe something, don't just say the humungous room. Describe just how big it was. The cavernous room rang with the laughter of the many people filling it, the sounds echoing off the high celing and wide walls.

-When a story clearly hasn't been proof read, at all. Simpe grammar mistakes like the sound was a loud as an screaching siren. Totally throws me off, and I have to go on a rampage about the grammar instead of reading the story.

-BLATANT SPELLING MISTAKES! I admit, I'm not the best speller in the world, probably one of the worst, but that's why Word has Spell Check people.

-A story with no plot. It's pointless and a waste of the reader's time.

-Cliche. I do admit I like some of the old steriotypes, but when every other story becomes Inuyasha goes to Hell with Kikyou, and Kagome decides to travel with Sesshoumaru. It get's kinda old, don't you think?

-The word big. I don't know why, but that word get's on my nerves. There are so many other adjectives that you could be using other than big, don't you think?

-Jumbled paragraphs. When one sentence is saying something, and then the next sentence is something totaly different. It's irritating.

-Redundancy. It's probibaly the most irritating thing under the sun. No one wants to read something like; It was dark. Darkness surrounded her. Nothing could be seen. Most people get the point after you say it the first time.

-Flames. Totaly inconsiderate and not needed. If you don't like my wiriting, I don't care, but I don't need a review about my hard work telling me it sucks. I don't think anyone likes that.

-Those stories where the same thing happens over and over again. Like, when the girl leaves a note and runs away, then comes back. Then leaves a note and runs away again, and comes back... ect.

Enough with the negatives... Now with the positives!

-When I can actually see what the character is seeing. The vivid imagry that makes you forget that you are in your house, and makes you think you are in Ancien Japan, or anywhere else for that matter.

-A good, jucy plot. Something complicated and totaly original that makes me think and keeps me hungry for more.

-Character development. I want to know right at the begining who the character is, and everything about them. But in a creative way. Not My name is (name here) and I'm an average High School Student.

One-Shots. They were a gift from the fanfiction gods.

-Fluff. I'm a sucker for fluffed up romantic scenes between characters, even a bit of tasteful lemonage.

-I want to care about the character. No one wants to read a story about a character that they care nothing about, and can't relate to. The only exception is when the author is bashing said character. Then, it's kinda amusing.

About The Current Projects

Living On A Prayer- I wrote this on a random idea, no idea where it really came from, except that I wrote it when i was listening to the song Better Than I by some guy the the movie Joseph, King Of Dreams. It's basically about Miroku being captured by Naraku and praying to Buddah for his friend's saftey. Very angsty, slightly fluffy. A bit of Mir/Kag, but nothing drastic.

Living On A Dream- Sequel to Living On A Prayer, one shot follow up on Kagome and Miroku after the final battle. A lot more fluff an romance than the first one. Will be rated M strictly for Miroku's wandering hands and just plain pevertedness.

Take This To Your Grave- I was going to start the next chapter when I got 120 reviews. Now that I've got them I don't have an excuse anymore... damn...

Without You- Just a little one shot that popped into my head when I was listening to the soundtrack from Rent. I think it's the least AU thing I've done yet. Basically, it's about Kagome dealing with Inuyasha leaving her for Kikyou. And Inuyasha... well, we'll just have to see about him. Very much Inu/Kag (my first one, by the way) and a little on the angsty side.
