Author has written 8 stories for Avatar: Last Airbender, Inuyasha, Mulan, and Legend of Korra.

Run-on sentences are my fave.

I am twenty-three years old, and I love writing fanfiction. Please leave your snide comments and general mockery in the reviews.

I've been writing since I was fourteen, and I'm attempting to use fan fiction as a medium for practice. I want to be a published writer someday, and while what I write here will never be published, it will certainly give me some much-needed cutting of teeth.


UPDATE:

I'm actually not dead!

After a little over a year of not doing ANYTHING productive on here, I've just updated (and completed, shockingly) my story "Overdone," which only two of the five people who read my fanfiction actually seem to like.

BUT! I did that because I was putting off updating both "The Lost Things" and "The Most of Us." Now that I don't really have anything else distracting me (yeah, right), I'll try very hard to actually punch some stuff out for those fics, because I REALLY like the story behind them.

I've been wrestling with the plot of both for literally two years now, and they just don't want to cooperate. Also, they've given me ideas for different fics, too. So expect the following from me sometime within the next few years:

A romance/political maneuvering/undercover heroics and espionage story set five years after the fall of Ozai, featuring the whole gang, but focusing mainly on a love triangle between Zuko, Katara, and Aang. It will include a criticism of Aang's actions concerning Katara and the Avatar state, a look at Zuko's hunt for a deadly spy as he struggles with his feelings for Katara, and it will be written from the point of view of Katara herself, who struggles with the idea of duty versus desire while trying to keep the gang together and alive. It will also include hot Blue Spirit/Painted Lady badass partnership action!A sequel to the story described directly above, focusing on the relationships between Azula, Zuko, Ursa, and Ozai as the Fire Nation threatens to fall to full-blown civil war while the gang helps in any way they can. (I just reeeeeeally want to do a character sketch of Azula, and speculate over what made her go bonkers.)A trilogy about Uncle Iroh during his younger days, which will include danger, intrigue, romance, grief, and wisdom over many a cup of fine jasmine tea. (More later.)A sequel to Mulan (in which we will pretend the actual sequel never happened), which will basically focus on the budding relationship between Mulan and Shang, while incorporating elements of social commentary on bravery, honor, duty, equality, and sneaky ninja-type stuff. (It's China!)

You should ABSOLUTELY tell me which of the four above you would like to read first, so I can get started. I know I should do the other stories first, but I'm just so excited for all of the above, I just want something to look forward to. Leave a review, or PM me!

Looking forward to being a productive member of this society again. Thanks for reading!
