Formerly xXCourageousXx, changed it so that it matches my users on DeviantArt and tumblr :)

I am so sorry for how long I have been away! I also very much appreciate everyone's favorites and reviews, I am sorry if I am slow to reply - for some reason my notifications go straight to spam .

I have the next chapter for The Master's Beloved Pawn done, just need to edit it and finalize where I want to take it from there. I also have a moodboard for it I will post soon on my DA.

Need to finish Centuries and Tauriel Athelas, I have their final chapters started and just need to finish them out. I am also going back and re-reading All For You and thinking about updating that one a bit...

Thanks for sticking with me and the sweet reviews, they really push me and inspire me to write! Love you all :)

An awesome and amazingly talented friend of mine on DeviantArt made a wallpaper for To Touch The Stars called One Chance. Their user is Super-Fan-Wallpapers and they make all different fandom papers (such as Marvel, Dr. Who, Poldark, and other misc. movies), so if you are in need of a wicked desktop pic for your fave fandom check out her stuff or message a request! You won't regret it!!

My story covers, if not specifically stated in the summary, are manips by me using Windows 7 Paint and edited in Adobe Photoshop Elements 9, or the editor FanFiction.net supplies. The exceptions are Orpheus' Second Chance & The God's Ties, whose images come from a creative commons Bing search O.o

If you want to check out some of my fandom manips, check out WelshArcher on Deviant Art, and if you want some YouTube videos for my pairings, check out WelshArcher!

9 Things I Hate About Everyone

1. People who point at their wrist while asking for the time.. I know where my watch is pal, where the hell is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?

2 People who are willing to get off their butt to search the entire room for the T.V.. remote because they refuse to walk to the T.V. and change the channel manually.

3 When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too". darn right! What good is cake if you can't eat it?

4 When people say "it's always the last place you look". Of course it is. Why the hell would you keep looking after you've found it?

5 When people say while watching a film "did you see that?". No Idiot, I paid 12 to come to the movies and stare at the damn floor.

6 People who ask "Can I ask you a question?". Didn't really give me a choice there, did ya sunshine?

7. When something is 'new and improved!' Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it, couldn't be new.

8 When people say "life is short". What the heck?? Life is the longest darn thing anyone ever does!! What can you do that's longer?

9 When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks "Has the bus come yet?". If the bus came would I be standing here, Stupid?

How to Tell if You're a Writer

-If you talk to yourself.

-If you talk to yourself about talking to yourself (i.e. 'I wonder why I talk to myself?')

-If, when you talk to yourself, you sometimes speak as if talking to another person (i.e. 'Okay, so have you ever noticed that the word 'deliver' could mean removing someone's liver?')

-If, after uttering a profound piece of wisdom like that above, you stare at the cookie in your hand in awe and say, 'Wow, this is good stuff for sugar highs!'

-If you live off of sugar and caffeine.

-If people start to notice that you tend to check your e-mail every day for a week, then suddenly disappear off the face of the planet.

-If your e-mails tend to be pages long and incredibly random.

-If, when replying to someone else's e-mail, you are sometimes so random that you fail to address the original message altogether.

-If, no matter where you are in your room, you never have to so much as get up to reach a pen/pencil and paper.

-If the letters are starting to wear off on the keys of your keyboard.

-If people think you might have A.D.D.

-If you think it'd be cool to have A.D.D.

-If you start constantly talking in third person, past tense.

-If you think about making lists like this, and start giggling for no 'apparent' reason.

-If your friends don't even bother to look funny at you anymore when you start giggling for no apparent reason.

-And finally, the one way to tell if you're a good writer: You failed English 101.

Find a Guy...

Who calls you beautiful instead of hot...

Who calls you back when you hang up on him...

Who will stay awake just to watch you sleep...

Wait for the guy who kisses your forehead...

Who wants to show you off to the world when you are in your sweats...

Who holds your hand in front of his friends...

Who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares about you and how lucky he is to have you...

Who turns to his friends and says, "That's her!!"

I know I have true friends,
I know I'm loved,
I know who I love,
I know I can overcome ups and downs.
And I know who I am

Anything else you'd like to throw at me?
