About Me: I'm a 24 year old woman. Reading and writing have always been two of my biggest passions, and I'm also a huge nerd, so fanfic is the perfet blend of that. Aside from fanfic, I'm an aspiring novelist, and would love to make that my career today. I'm currently in my senior year of college, pursuing a BA in English Literature, and that combined with work on my novel and other fanfics means updates might be a little slow at times, but I promise I'm not abandoning anything, even if it's slow!

You can also find me on AO3 under the penname MossyBallerina, where I write primarily Mass Effect fanfiction.

Other hobbies besides writing and reading are: dancing, volunteering with awesome charities (particularly in regards to mental health awareness) hanging out with friends, playing video games, doing anything nerdy, listening to music, being outside, playing music (I play violin, viola and piano, and I'm trying to learn guitar) and more.

I, StarryNight101 do solemnly swear to review all the fics I read, regardless of the number of reviews, its age, its length, or anything else.

I have joined the review revolution, post this in your profile and join the revolution!

NON-ROMANTIC pairings I love:

Things I like in stories I read:

Kick-ass female heroines
A swoon-worthy romance
Lots of adventure and action
Complex characters with lots of depth and emotion
A healthy dose of angst and/or drama, but still plenty of fluff

And also, pairings where they supposedly hate each other but would be absolutely devastated if anything happened to one another. THIS JUST KILLS ME. Alternatively, stories where they're best friends and eventually fall in love are also fantastic. But basically, if you have the above in your story, I will likely fall in love with it.

One last thing... I got the following in a chain email, and normally I hate chain mail, and don't pass it on, but this one's really sweet, and it always makes me feel better if I'm having a bad day.

1. At least 2 people in this world love you so much they would die for you.

2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.

3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.

4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.

5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.

6. You mean the world to someone.

7. If not for you, someone may not be living.

8. You are special and unique.

9. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.

10. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.

11. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look: you most likely turned your back on the world.

12. When you think you have no chance of getting what you want, you probably won't get, but if you believe in yourself, probably, sooner or later, you will get it.

13. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.

14. Always tell someone how you feel about them; you will feel much better when they know.

15. If you have a great friend, take the time to let them know that they are great.
