Ahoy! My name is Ayala and I enjoy many things. I've been here for a very long time.

I like canon/OC pairings. I like fics that pair canons with OCs. I write them frequently. SHOTS FIRED or whatever it is the cool kids are saying these days.

My favorite fandoms:

1) Avatar: The Last Airbender-- My #1 fave, always and forever. I am a huge fangirl for Earth King Kuei. Not like you could've guessed that from the over-187,900-word fanfic I've been working on since 2009 or anything, right?

2) Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann-- THE MOST BELOVED ANIME OF MY HEART. This was the first "real anime" I ever saw and it's been one of my faves ever since. I ship the canon ships plus a side order of post-series Yoko/Viral (because, like, every other guy she's loved has ended up dead, so why not date the one dude that can't die?)

3) One Piece-- My entire life TBH. Don't even get me started. I have three OP cosplays. I ship a lot of things.

4) Cause of Death-- Now-defunct iOS game, formerly the greatest detective/procedural series ever written. Brilliant writing, complex characters with a level of realistic diversity that is rarely seen anywhere, great dialogue, challenging without being infuriating... sounds fun? Wanna play it? You can't, it's dead! Thanks, EA Games.

5) Noragami-- If you don't like Noragami then you are wrong. Sorry but it's true. The anime is great, the manga is great, the entire thing is great. I ship Yato/Hiyori because why would you not ship that? (Also, Rabou was an awesome character and his storyline was totally fantastic and I will literally fight anyone who perpetuates this "Rabou was a useless filler character" crap.)

6) Pacific Rim-- The fandom for this movie is a wonderful, wonderful place. Raleigh/Mako is fine I guess but Newt/Hermann is where it's at. Come on.

7) TRON-- TRON: Legacy was good and all but the original will always be the best. Flynn/Ram is my fave ship from this movie because LOOK AT THEMMMM.

8) The Thief and the Cobbler-- OK OK OK if you're gonna watch this movie, you gotta see the Recobbled Cut. It's available on Youtube from The Thief Archive. That is a fanmade cut of the movie pieced together bit by bit to show the story the way it was originally intended to be see. It's kind of like Aladdin, but way more unusual. It's a cute movie with outstandingly creative animation. I wrote a thing for it.

Other shows I like: Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Princess Tutu, Orphan Black, Mythbusters, Samurai Champloo, The IT Crowd, Orange is the New Black, Doctor Who, Mystery Science Theater 3000, Firefly.

Other movies I like: How To Train Your Dragon, The Mummy/The Mummy Returns, Pan's Labyrinth, Stardust, The Last Unicorn, most Disney 2D movies, the Pirates of the Caribbean series, old musicals by Fred Astaire, comedies by the Marx Bros., Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark/The Last Crusade, and a lot of others.

Books I like: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (Douglas Adams), Territory (Emma Bull), the Otherland series (Tad Williams), the Vlad Taltos series (Steven Brust), many books by Terry Pratchett, Dune (Frank Herbert).

Music I like: Name a genre, any genre, and it's probably on my iPod.
