Author has written 27 stories for Maximum Ride, Underland Chronicles, Hetalia - Axis Powers, Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir, Passengers, 2016, Blue Mountain State, Newsies, and Newsies. I feel like I should put it out there: I have this weird thing where I can only respond to reviews AFTER I've posted the next chapter. Otherwise I respond to reviews and then trick myself into thinking I worked on the story, which I actually didn't. So if you're wondering why I'm taking so long to respond to a review you've posted on one of my fics - that's why! Names: roughdiamond5, snark-sniper Age: 25 How long I’ve been reading fanfiction: since 2005 Places I’ve lived: USA (mostly based in Colorado), France, Lithuania, Belgium, Japan Favorite colors: blue, black, red, green Favorite numbers: 5, 7, 3 Other places to find me online: Five Facts About Me 1. I teach English in Japan. Before I started that job, I graduated summa cum laude (which, at my university, means I wrote and defended an undergraduate thesis) with a double major in international affairs and linguistics. 2. I've had three internships and a ton of jobs, from being a security guard to working at bookstores to shipping packages through UPS. (You could say I'm a strong shipper.) My favorite job by far was teaching introductory astronomy as a TA. 3. I’m a second-generation fanfiction writer. My mom goes by RogueAngel around here and is currently haunting the Star Trek (2009) and Once Upon a Time archives. 4. I can speak near-fluent French, some German and Japanese, a bit of Spanish and Lithuanian, and a few words and phrases in Italian, Mandarin Chinese, Russian, Turkish, and a few other languages. Some of this comes from the latter part of 2015, where I studied in Europe and visited a good 23 countries. 5. My mom used to work at Borders Books. The employees there were like my aunts and uncles, I got discounts and first peeks at anything I wanted, and I could read books all day - for free. And then they liquidated one year before I could legally work there. Now Mom works at Barnes & Noble. A Warning I like to think that my writing improves with each new fic I publish. I will never be a perfect author, but every experience teaches me a little more about characterization or grammar or how to create a half-decent plot. I leave almost every old fic available here for the sake of keeping the reviews and stats, since won't let me archive stories. However, there are some fics which I'm prouder of than others. As you read through my work, please ultimately remember that I've been writing fic since I was twelve, and hence the quality is going to vary. Vastly.
