Kudos go out to anyone who takes their time to read this...

I got into FanFiction in about 8th grade, thanks to my friends that were obsessed and still are (if you are reading this you know who you are). As soon as I started reading stories, I was hooked. I read everything from poems to crossovers. Although I hadn't even made an account yet on FanFiction, I still came here any time I could to read and read and read. And I am a major sucker for romance stories. But, then again, who isn't...? I love to write and read other people's work (I'm a big fan of constructive criticism--something that I learned in my Advanced Placement English classes--and I know that a lot of other writers are, too). I never really started writing anything, myself until the summer of my sophomore year in high school, but nothing that I wrote was ever worthy enough to get posted.

At the end of that same summer, I really got into writing Zutarian stories based off of Avatar: The Last Airbender--probably one of my favorite shows off of Nickelodeon. My main goal was to make the story feel as though it was a real book that you might find in a book store with a sophisticated writing style and have it read in a way that would make it seem possible. After I wrote the first chapter in a composition book and read it to myself, I decided that I thought it was time to create a FanFiction account and post it--to see what people thought, thus "A Celestial Dawn" was born. I'm still currently working on that story, and I am thankful to all of the fans that have favorited it and reviewed each chapter. You guys are awesome! I just hope that my writing still brings you enjoyment and that I don't put the name of Zutarian to shame...I hope.

After that story is done, I hope to continue writing, although I have no idea what about. After I finish any current story that I am working on, I would even be up for suggestions, of course, depending on the source material. My interests are always changing, though some remain the same from time to time. Writing will always be fun for me, and I only hope that people around the world enjoy what I write... :D

Some Random things about me:

Favorite TV Shows:
Avatar: The Last Airbender - It's kind of funny how I got into this show because when it was first coming out, I thought it looked stupid, but when there was nothing else on, I watched it, and I became completely hooked! I am a die-hard Zutarian, by the way. Good for Aang because he was literally chasing Katara around the entire series, but I still think that Zuko and Katara should have gotten together...
Legend of Korra - Makorra, anyone? :)
NY-LON
The Vampire Diaries - this is all my mom's fault. She came back from seeing her friend who watched the show and told me about it, and when I saw it on, I watched it, and now I'm tuning in every time it's on.
Secret Life of the American Teenager - another show that I thought was going to be stupid, but then I watched it with my sister, and now I'm hooked.
SpongeBob Squarepants - you can never be too old for SpongeBob...

FlashForward - I hate how this show got cancelled! It was so good...

True Blood - I just got into this show, and I love it!

Favorite Quotes:
"We laugh and laugh, and nothing can ever be sad, no one can be lost, or dead, or far away: right now we are here, and nothing can mar our perfection, or steal the joy of this perfect moment." - The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger

"The choice for mankind lies between freedom and happiness and for the great bulk of mankind, happiness is better." - 1984 by George Orwell

"Of course.. some people, me included, believe that punk is just the most recent manifestation of this, this spirit, this feeling, you know, that things aren't right and that in fact things are so wrong that the only thing we can do is to say Fuck It, over and over again, really loud, until someone stops us." - The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger

"Don't you think it's better to be extremely happy for a short while, even if you lose it, than to just be okay for your whole life?" - The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger

"Around here, however, we don't look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things...and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths." - Walt Disney

"Nobody asks to be hero. Just sometimes, it turns out that way." - Sergeant Eversmann, Black Hawk Down

"The mind of man is capable of anything--because everything is in it, all the past as well as the future. What was there after all? Joy, fear, sorrow, devotion, valor, rage--who can tell?--but truth--truth stipped of its cloak of time." - Heart of Dakness by Jospeh Conrad

"You know I hate, detest, and can't bear a lie, not because I am straighter than the rest of us, but simply because it appals me. There is a taint of death, a flavour of mortality in lies--which is exactly what I hate and detest in the world--what I want to forget." - Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad

"A man tells his stories so many times that he becomes his stories. They live on after him, and in that way he becomes immortal." - Will Bloom, Big Fish

"Time is priceless, but it's Free. You can't own it, you can't use it. You can spend it. But you can't keep it. Once you've lost it you can never get it back." - The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger

I try to keep up with my writing, but when school gets in the way and my schedule is full, I can't get the time to sit down and write. And then there's the horrid writer's block. My friends try to coax me through that one, but I guess there's never really a cure, is there...? Hopefully that would explain why it takes a while for me to update. But, either way, my writing is never completely out of thought. I always am thinking of things that I can possibly add into my story/stories. If something interesting happens that day, hey, it might just be able to work in the FanFic! So, I try to keep writing, no matter what life throws at me, whether it is good or bad. I just hope that that changes soon because I want to be able to update much sooner for all you readers that are keeping up with me... :D
