I'm Ri-chan.

Interests include: writing, reading, anime/manga, music, friends, video games that tell a story as you progress, and many other things that I don't have the patience to list.

I'm a chronic pain patient. Just imagine a migrane headache all over your body and welcome to my world. I tried being bitter and got bored so I decided to write and be happy instead. Everything to my feelings and poetry, to fanfiction and fantasy novels-in-progress. It made me happy and thus here I am.

I'm a trumpet player. I'm not as good as I used to be with the pain and all interfering with my concetration, but I'm proud to be a musician so I thought I would throw that out there.

I'm almost always sick with something, so please give me a break if I don't update as quickly as other authors. Please remember that other authors mentioned previously do not have stiff/sore hands.

I love my friends on fanfiction. They put up with my fangirl tendencies as well as the times when I'm emo.

My imagination is the most active part of me. I believe the only limitations are that of the imagination. If you want something from my stories that I have yet to give just pm me. I can't promise instant results, but I can promise I will do my best to make the story as enjoyable as I can make it.

The truth is I didn't create this account to write fanfiction, but that's what I ended up doing. I don't regret it.

My dream is to inspire a love of reading in someone who hates to read.

Okay here's what's going on. My grandma went to a doctor shortly after Thanksgiving and the doctor found a tumor in her brain. Was I surprised? Not really. My super grandma was as weak and tired as if she'd been spoon fed Kryptonite the last time I saw her. I knew something was up even before she went to the doctor. They tried to treat it. They failed. On April first we got the call that my grandma was dead. I was depressed for some time after that. Here's how it is folks. I love y'all, I really do. I'm going to keep writing fanfiction. Depression hits me at times and I pause in my writing, but I'm not giving up. Fanfiction still holds a lot of happiness for me. I miss my grandma. I really do, but death is part of life and I have faith that there is something after this adventure we call life and that when it's my time in what is hopefully the distant future, I will see my grandma again. So why am I writing this? Because once again, I love you guys. The FF community is so awesome and supportive. You guys mean the world to me and I want to thank you for being so patient and understanding with me. Write on.

Hey everybody, I'm back. Still slow, but back. I just published a new story and plan to update another before Christmas. I'm doing my best folks. It hasn't been easy. Early this fall my Grandpa whom I've always adored joined my grandma in heaven. I know he's in a better place but God help me, I miss them both every single day. I'm doing my best to keep up with fanfiction and a book I'm working on that I plan to have published sometime around 2017. I'll keep y'all posted if you pm your interest to me. Thank you one and all for being so damn patient. It brings a tear to my eye. Okay it brings lots of tears to my eyes, but I blame the emotional roller coaster I've been on. Last but not least congratulations for surviving one more Ri-chan's Randomosity.

If I there was one thing I've felt ashamed of over the past two years, it's the way I just vanished off the face of this website. No matter my reasons, no matter how much I was hurting, there is no excuse for not taking two minutes out of the last two years to tell you that I needed a break so that I could find emotional stability. For leaving everything on fanfiction alone for two years without a word of explanation, I'm so sorry. For anyone who still reads this profile after all this time and for people just discovering it and deciding to check it out, thank you for being so awesome. I really don't deserve to have my profile read after leaving without a word the way I did. My explanation goes back to years ago to April of 2014. I really can't believe it's been two years. My Grandma died that April, as stated in a previous post. My grandpa followed after her, the way he always did, in Fall that same year. For over half a year after that I really let myself go. I wasn't skinny, when my grandpa died. I was quite big in truth. I love food folks, I really do, and it was in food that I found a miniscule and very temporary comfort. So I ate. I ate a lot. As I steadily approached and flew by the level of obese, I slowly came to the realization that enough was enough. My doctors told me as much. They had been telling me as much for a long time folks, but here's the thing, in order to really change your life, you need to be 100% ready and 150% willing. No one will change your life for you. Okay so I wanted to lose weight and I was ready to lose weight, but even then I couldn't. I really hate being hungry. It's painful and I live with enough pain without being hungry all the time. Once my capable medical supervisors realized the problem they found a diet for me where I never have to be hungry. The exchange? I was EXTREMELY limited in what I ate. I have completed the first part of the diet, the weight loss phase. When I graduated from phase 1 I had lost a total of 75 pounds. That was back at the end of January. Now as of April 7th I've lost 90 pounds since I started the program last June. In all honesty I could care less what I look like. I've never been one for looks. (my own anyway.) I did this because I knew it was what I needed to do to get my health and hopefully my happiness back. My hopes proved fruitful. I'm happier now than I've ever been. I miss those I lost. Every day. My grandparents were the tip of the iceberg the last two years. Because I miss them, I live everyday to the fullest. Now that I'm back in the right state of mind I've decided to resume fanfiction even if all my fans are fed up with me or are too mad to forgive me. I've been writing something or another since I was 13 and I'm going to keep writing the rest of my life. Writing isn't just my passion. It's a fundamental part of me. And quite possibly an addiction. To quickly sum it up, I'm still in pain, I'm happy, I miss the people I've lost, I'm still going to be slow to update, but come hell or high water I'm continuing my fanfiction. Thanks again to all those who read this and all those who have been supportive, awesome, and patient to a mind boggling degree. You people are what keep me coming back here. I can't thank you enough. My sap session is over now. All are welcome to send me a pm be it support or complaint. Take care.

Hey folks or imaginary folks if no one reads my profile anymore. A quick bit of info on updates. Next chapter of Creature Café is about 1/3 to 1/2 done. Next chapter of Time Heals All Wounds is about 1/3 done. If my personal/family life calms down a bit the updates will come faster, if not then those of you reading this probably know the drill by now, but just in case I will tell you, I slow down when life throws craze monkey poop at me. Long story short, I'm doing my best. Thanks for reading those of you who aren't figments of my imagination! Take care.
