Hey everyone, 9 Blue here, and I am so glad I have joined this website. Originally I was on this website when I was younger, just reading stories. Then I lost it, and I've come back as a writer. No idea how I found it again, but I'm so glad I did.

Name: You know, I kinda like this whole secret identity thing. My alias is 9 Blue, formally FanFicFan909.

Age: 25

Gender: Female

Home: Victoria, Australia (that is all I am saying)

I can't believe I finished a 365 day challenge in the year 2013. My stories in the Dex Hamilton fandom are a reminder that I can do anything I set my mind to, as long as it's realistic, and I have the determination. I urge you all to make New Year's resolutions, as the feeling of completing them December 31st is overwhelmingly indescribable. (Dated: 01/01/14)

Fiction is like a spider's web, attached ever so lightly perhaps, but still attached to life at all four corners.

Virginia Woolf.

In The Night

Out of my window late at night I gape
And see the stars but do not watch them really,
And hear the trains but do not listen clearly;
Inside my mind I turn about to keep
Myself awake, yet am not there entirely.
Something of me is out in the dark landscape.

How much am I then what I think, how much what I feel?
How much the eye that seems to keep stars straight?
Do I control what I can contemplate
Or is it my vision that's amenable?
I turn in my mind, my mind is a room whose wall
I can see the top of but never completely scale.

All that I love is, like the night, outside,
Good to gazed at, looking as if it could
With a simple gesture be brought inside my head
Or in my heart. But my thoughts about it divide
Me from my object. Now deep in my bed
I turn and the world turns on the other side.

Elizabeth Jennings.

Ode to Can

There’s a four letter word
As offensive as any
It holds back a few
Puts a stop to the many
You can’t climb that mountain,
You can’t cross the sea
You can’t become anything you want to be
You can’t hit a century
They can’t find a cure
She can’t think about leaving
or searching for more
Because Can’t is a word
With the habit of stopping the ebb and flow of ideas
It keeps dropping itself because in our hearts we know it’s not needed
And saying don’t go
When we could’ve succeeded
But those four little letters that end with a T
They can change in an instant
When shortened to three
We can take off the T
We can do it today
We can move forward, not back
We can find our own way
We can build
We can run
We can follow the sun
We can push
We can pull
We can say I’m someone
Who refuses to believe life can’t be better
With the removal of one insignificant letter.

Andy Fleming

The one thing I like most about the world is freedom of speech, and this website has shown that many people everywhere can express themselves in a creative way. Accepting reviews both good and bad and creating something that makes people happy are the many great things about this website. Fanfiction, in some ways, is helping many people express how they feel through stories, and gives people all around the world the freedom of speech and imagination. I love this website.
