Hey, hi, and hello to anyone who took the time to read this. Thanks!
I'm Diamondbeast, but you can call me Kaeli for simplicity's sake. Welcome to my profile.

I want to issue a warning to all those who enter here; beware, because I am one of those terrible, terrible writers who either updates several chapters in a row or stops entirely for a couple months. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'll get to them eventually, I swear. I just want them to be perfect, and as much as I practise I'm not quite that good! Especially since I rely on inspiration for my motivation- I'll try harder. For you guys! I'll do it!

Agent 00Faye: I was, like, twelve when I first started writing this and I don't think my intended plot is gonna cut it. I'm going to do a bit of a revamp soon, and re-write a few things so that the story makes more sense. don't worry, it'll definitely be seeing some action!

Phantom's Keep: I know for a fact that the plot in this story isn't any good [in fact, the only reason I originally started writing it was because I wanted the class to go on a field trip to the ghost zone and Danny would have to answer the door, as Phantom, in a towel, but it stopped there. I didn't think it through at all.], and it kind of hurts to look at my old writing style. New chapters for this are in the works, so thanks to everyone who reviewed/favorited/followed. Your faith will be rewarded! Someday!!

Yin, Yang, and Amy: This was based off of the very first Sonic the Hedgehog fanfic I ever read, 'Two Worlds, One Amy' by v-16-v. It's the only one of all these stories that I have plotted out all the way to the end. The only reason I haven't updated in a while is because I'm trying to make the chapters longer and I'm having a frustrating time with that goal. Don't worry! Even if it's slow, it won't get abandoned!

Now, since I have precisely zero self control when it comes to the writing and browsing of fanfic, I am going to write down some general do's and don'ts, and with any luck next time I won't forget.

Rule 1; If the summary mentions 'character death', you will cry. It will haunt you forever, and you will cry.

Rule 2; I don't care if it's a complete, 30-chapter masterpiece as written by your favorite author- you have responsibilities tomorrow, don't stay up any later than midnight for 'just one more chapter'.

Rule 3; Check the chapter titles before reading it. If there's any like 'betrayal', or 'heart break', or 'the death of _', don't read it in public because last time you had to explain yourself to several worried librarians and that was no fun.

Rule 4; Okay, so the description sounds a little stupid. You've never read this author's work before, it doesn't feature any of your favorite characters, and you're pretty sure the dog dies. I don't care. Try it anyway. It's not going to hurt you if you don't like it- you don't have to keep reading it. You'll be fine. It's well worth the risk if you end up loving it.

Rule 5; So it's a ship you've never seen before. Read it! It doesn't always have to be all about your OTP. Maybe you'll end up loving it, (even if you are most likely going to hell for it.)

Rule 6; Don't read the poetry. You're going to like it, you're going to want to write your own, and you will harshly remember you can't write poetry. Then you'll end up hating a perfectly good piece of work because you're a big baby about everything.

Rule 7; If the fic you want to read isn't there, write it yourself instead of complaining. Perhaps you will realize why no one else has written it yet, and maybe you'll do yourself one better and love it.

Rule 8; Write that one fic you've been thinking about. Even if it's kinky. Someone, somewhere, is going to love it dearly, (and you can both go to hell together.)

Rule 9; Don't let the writing style slow you down too much. Everyone makes mistakes, even you- yes, you!- and you might be brushing off a wonderful plot for a misspelling. On the flip side, don't torture yourself if it's too painful to look at. Some things just aren't meant to be.

Rule 10; If you want to write, write. If you want to post, post. If you want to take a break, complete a fic, create an AU, go ahead. Go boldly where no author has before. You have entire worlds at your fingertips, begging to be used, and it's about time someone listened.
