Hi, Swordsoul here

Guess your curious about me?

first question, why swordsoul?

well, there is a lot in rurouni kenshin about "swordsman's spirit" or "Ki" which i kind of translate into swordsoul. it's kind of complicated, but then half the time i can tell that my head is messed up, so a little bit of insanity is actually ok.

Lets take a little peek into the mess of my mind...

I love anime, Fullmetal Alchemist, Yu Yu Hakusho, Inuyasha, Bleach, Final Fantasy's VII, VIII, and X, Star Trek, Stargate Atlantis ... etc. find it on my favorites, i don't hate it. LOVE CROSSOVERS AND AU'S!! Love reading, only the stories that are good, trashy stories are a waste of my time, will entertain alternate parings if quality of story is good enough. sometimes insist on alternate parings if i don't like conventional ones.

love anything japanese, obsessed with manga, spend entirally too much time on

pet peeve on : writers that say that they'll update just after their finals or whatever, and then you look up and the latest update date and find out that the last time they've updated was a year or two ago. if they aren't going to update, why don't they simply mark stories as on Hiatus or discontinued. as a fellow writer, i hearby delare such behavior to be UNACCEPTABLE!! will even issue flamers if i catch fellow authors in such behavior...

the twin curses of the writer: writer's block, and unwanted plot bunny attack. both of them, EEEEEVVVVIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLL (espeshilly when i'm at work or in class...

if you want to see Skyfire's alt form in Cloudy Skies, he's a V-22 Osprey. here's the link http:///MIL/v22/v22_header.jpg It's perfect for Skyfire!!

Reflections in a Shattered Mirror has been translated!!!! the lovely Leulande translated my fic into french. read here at: http://www.fanfiction.ws/s/6831290/1/Reflets_dans_un_miroir_brise

i love vathara's "urban legands" cycle, but i don't have it on my favorites list because there are just so many different stories! godzilla/airwolf/stargate/rurouni kenshin/gargoyles/ect crossovers. they are the best

random quotes:

"normality is overrated" "the world is insane, therefore to keep your sanity, you must be insane as well" "knowladge is power" "normality is nonexistant for everyone is unique" "the universe is a LUNAverse because everyone is a lunatic, just not everyone knows that" all these quotes are me.

"why is the rum gone" captain jack sparrow(couldn't resist(hey,that's another quote from the same movie))

for those who have read my super popular story, Son of the Red Sand, and have reviewed me about the sequel i sugested at the end of the 3rd chapter, it is up. look for the story titled A meaningfull bond, a oneshot, which has been up for a while now. thanks for your commentary, reviews are always apprieciated!!

warnings:

i know i find stories often by looking at an author's favorite stories list, and i have a habit of deleting stories when i get tired of them. so let me know if i delete a story and you can no longer access it. i just might replace it. big reason for deleting-prolonged abandonment. so blame the lazy author, not me. also, i regularlly delete stories to try to keep the list current. meaning i know i read too much and am trying to keep myself from having a favorites list of over 2,000,000,000,000 titles if you know what i mean...

i perfer reading to writing so gomen nasai if i keep you waiting for an update. i will usually have a good reason why an update is long in comming so minumal flames please. onagai?
