Sorry to anyone who is hoping that I will continue writing. I have not written, as you can tell in a very long time. I have very little time to do so and with the little time I do have for writing I've been working on a piece of original fiction for the last year or so that I someday hope to finish and get published. Because I went and picked a useless major like Classics and I'm hoping for my J.K. Rowling moment. A girl can dream. I think fanfiction for the wonderful times it has given me and the great things it has done for my writing skills. I still smile every time I get a review for an old story. This community will always have a very special place in my heart. Keep up the madness.

I have a FictionPress account , so you can check me out at the follwing url: http://www.fictionpress.info/u/627533/. I'll be writing under a different pen name there, Jane Avalon, and I've got a few things posted. I'll mostly put up my humor pieces. I'd rather not post my more epic stories cause those never do well on fictionpress for most people anyway and to be honest I'd rather try and get those published for real.

My profile picture is something my friend Carolyn, who goes by yourfisharemine on the internet, drew called "Eye Fairy, Resistance." You can find this and other art pieces on deviantart at the following url: http:///. And you should strongly encourage her to put up more stuff. Because I have seen the recent stuff in her sketchbook and it's awesome-er (it's a word) than anything else she's got up.

Speaking of deviantart. Personally I think I'm rather fail at art, at least amateur, but I do have an account. Everything that's up there is from an art class I took freshman year of college. My account can be found at the following url: http:///. Yeah, Jane Avalon is kinda my new pen name elsewhere.

Beta Bragging Section (I am shameless!)

These writers are great and they worked hard to give you guys quality fanfiction. So do them a favor. Read, review, and most importantly ENJOY!

Derringer Meryl's Avatar Story Ashes and Ice Shards

LizbetCrogan's Naruto Story Out of His Element

The Shipping Lowdown

AVATAR: Jetzula, Zutara, Taang, Tykka (though I'm not particular about Sokka or Ty Lee... as long as he's sarcastic and she's torturing some poor male)

NARUTO: NaruHina, NejiTen, ShikaTemari, SakuSai, InoChouji, and Sasuke just needs to go die (preferably alone and unloved), JirayaxTsunade (true love)... Sadly enough, it seems that I sort of like SasuSaku only in fanfiction... shudders.

BMT: SoneaxRegin (it's adorable)

BLEACH: RenjixRukia (again, adorable I love Renji, I just wanna go glomp him), OrihimexUlquiorra (I don't know why, but it's sort of adorable... in a strange way... I'm not into the sick and twisted stuff, trust me, but I like them anyway), KisukexYuroichi

LA CORDA D'ORO: Hino KahokoxTsukimori Len (because he's like this person I know)

FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST: EdxWinry (because E and W are next to each other on the keyboard), RizaxRoy, Ling/GreedxRanfan (pretty simple, pretty basic... there's way too much strange pairings and such for FMA, look I'm not against yaoi if it's cannon, eg in the Black Magician Trilogy there's a gay couple and they're so cute, but for most part yaoi fanfiction pairings are to put it bluntly... fucked up. As for incest, my god I know there are closet perverts out there, but try to contain yourselves)

TSUBASA RESERVIOR CHRONICLES: SakuraxSyaoran (c'mon how can you not? Even though there's all sort of creepy clones etc involved) and KuroganexTomoyo even though Fai and Kurogane are the reason yaoi exists (cause everyone loves the uber-violent man)... and Mokona doesn't need anyone but himself ("ZOMG! THE SOFTNESS!")

FAIRY TAIL: Chiefly LucyxNatsu, though I do like LucyxGray as well mostly because Jubia talks in the third person so I can't take her seriously, though I like her new haircut. GrayxErza is cute too, but there isn't much of it. Oh and this is kinda a crack pairing, but I think LevixGazille would be adorable! Do you feel the love?

SKIP BEAT!: KyokoxRen all the way! Squee! And YashiroxKotonami... mostly because it would take a very bizarre set of circumstances to get them together in the first place.

BAKUMAN: A relatively new manga, so it hasn't presented a lot of options yet, but I love Takagi and Miyoshi. Mashiro and Azuki are just too weird. They're strange people.

TOKYO CRAZY PARADISE: okay so I was skeptical about the name too, but I love this. TsukasaxRyuji all the way! And AsagoxMunakato (he reminds me of Kurogane in Tsubasa Chronicles)

CLAYMORE: I haven't decided yet. But I like the anime so far as I've gotten through it.

FULL METAL PANIC!: SousukexKaname, MelissaxKurz, TessaxTakada(I think that was his name? I dunno, the little angry dude who likes her)

The Dealio

so here's where you can look to check up on my current stories, what I'm typing, what I'm writing out, etc. Suggestions are welcome, but don't take it personally if I ignore it, it just may not work with my ideas, but I'll try to keep in mind my readers preferences.

1) The King and Queen of Clueless- This pretty much fizzled out and died for me. I lost interest in the series. I know that people really liked this one, but I just don't have anything else.

2) The Chronicles of Carrot Man- First of all... FANART!: http:///art/team-gai-and-their-things-121888751 Second, Chapter Three In Which Kakuzu Is Feeling... Strange... has been posted. Sorry for the wait.

3) Not So Secretly Secret- ABC challenge from the LiveJournal Fairy Tail Community, Fairy Flash. They will all be LevixGazille and have some sort of badly kept secret in each of them... hopefully. Posting may get a little random and sadly they're all really short so far. Fairy Flash link and ABC table Challenge. Will post more of these soon. I intended to get through the whole alphabet at some point.

4) Violets Are Red- I've been contemplating rewriting this since it's been so long, I've gotten much better at writing (I looked back at the first chapter of this and nearly cried at how terrible it was), and I'm feeling just plain nostalgic with the movie coming out. The original plot will be preserved, but I shall hopefully enhance the reading experience. I will also probably rewrite the sequel at some point. No idea when I'll get to this, but it's in the cards.

I don't usually do the copy and paste stuff... scratch that I NEVER do the copy and paste stuff... but this was far too amazing and I'm feeling nostalgic.
