Hey guys. Welcome to my bio page thanks for coming and please read and review my stories.

Want to drop me a line, comment, or message? PM me!!

Name: Renee

Age: 31

State: Rhode Island

Bio: I currently work in a historic organization full time and enjoy my work immensely. I spend some of my free time volunteering. My hobbies include cooking, art, reading, baking, walking, and travel. I am an avid TV and movie fan, and have loved anime since 1997 when I first watched Sailor Moon on Cartoon Network's Toonami (M-F at 4PM). My current interest is my family genealogy and writing a family biography about my ancestors (depending on the findings).

Stories: Back in the early days I mostly wrote Rurouni Kenshin stories but may change it in the future to other Anime, Manga, TV Shows, and Films. Possibly books too. I was a long hiatus as life changed. School, work, building a career, and a lack of interest in writing stories kept me away for a long time. In August 2018, I decided to return. I am excited for this new path.

Wish For: Continued Good Health, Better Time Management, and an Animated or Live Action Version of Rurouni Kenshin's Jinchuu Arc.

Favorite Books: Too many to state. I enjoy the Classics like Jane Eyre, 1984, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Jane Austen related. Love Celeste Ng, Jodi Picoult, Jennifer Weiner, Lisa See, Ernst Hemingway, Agatha Christie, and Gillian Flynn.

Favorite Films: Too many to state. I like Classics such as Bette Davis and Katharine Hepburn. I enjoy a lot of comedies, mysteries, film noirs, thrillers, and dramas. Some recent faves are The Big Sick and Ladybird. Documentaries are good too, a personal favorite is the Hidden Killers series produced in England.

Some Quotes

There is an honesty behind a glance, a meaning behind a touch, and faith cried with a tear. Lies behind a price, importance in a whim, and deceit sealed with a kiss. There is hope behind a gesture, value in a token. An unspoken love delivered with a smile.--The 2007 ITV Promo for the new Jane Austen adaptations

Japan 1867. The Tokugawa Dynasty stands upon failing legs. An invincible samurai, Kenshin Himura, walks the path of death and destruction, ushering in a new regime. Hated and feared by many, he is known as Hitokiri Battousai, the manslayer. In retribution for his deeds, he has taken an oath to protect the innocent and never kill again. But old memories seldom fade and bad habits die hard.--Toonami Promo for Rurouni Kenshin

NEWS

UPDATE, 8/31/19: Been much too long for me to update. I know I have been very lax in updating Violet and Jasmine but I am catching up with all the missing chapters this coming week. New short one shot is up titled Summer Heat: A One-Shot Kaoru Story. Other stories to be updated soon. Thank you for your patience!!

UPDATE, 12/13/18: Been a while since I have updated with anything news wise. I hope all of you are well and enjoying a nice holiday/December season. Lately my main updates have mostly been for The Short Version and The Short Version: Violet and Jasmine. I have been lax in the other stories but plan to have them updated by Saturday. In addition, I plan to publish some short story one-shots for the Christmas season from Sailor Moon to Rurouni Kenshin and more. Sadly, I have once again changed my Coming Soon Story section. Despite my hopes to do what I wanted to do, most will be put off until next year. This way the stress of the holiday season will be gone and more relaxing and time to the stories can happen. Thank you again!

UPDATE, 11/13/18: Been a while since I have done a news update. Hope all of you are well! After careful consideration, I have decided to push back on some intended stories while I focus on the current ones. I have found that in the past and even now that taking on too many projects causes an issue. As such, check for the new schedules at the bottom. In addition, I have added a new section CURRENT STORIES to give everyone an update on my progress for current works (SEE BELOW). Furthermore, I decided to put one Sailor Moon story in the Toss Up section. It was to be a story about how Usagi and Mamoru can be soulmates in the present time despite their past lives. Since there are numerous stories like this on , I decided to put it as a toss up in case I decide to explore this later. Thank you again everyone!!

UPDATE, 10/23/18: New chapter of The Short Version with Kenshin and Company now up.

UPDATE, 10/21/18: New Sailor Moon one-shot story, Something More?, about Luna and Artemis now up.

UPDATE, 10/17/18: New Rurouni Kenshin story, The Short Version: Violet and Jasmine, now up. It is a short collection more on the moments between Kenshin and Kaoru. Expect updates every Wednesday. Also posted new chapter of The Short Version: A Short Story Collection on Kenshin and Company, yesterday. Have been a bit slow on updates to other stories and publishing Life at 50, but all will come this week in good timing. Thank you again and please review!

Update, 10/14/18: New Sailor Moon story, At the Beginning, published. New one-shot Itazura Na Kiss story, Always By Your Side For Better or For Worse, published. Expect updates for Sadie Hawkins Part 3 and Silver Anniversary this week!!

UPDATE, 10/11/18: Hello Everyone! Still in the process of editing Life at 50 and Always By Your Side. Editing new chapters for Sadie Hawkins Part 3 and Silver Anniversary. A need to check spelling and grammar has become key!! I did a bit of a revamp to the bio page as you will see. It is still a work in progress though as I change things around. I am hoping to have finished the last of my story updates section down below. I have changed it a lot for various different reasons, but as time goes on you tend to rethink things. One story for Sailor Moon has been moved for Summer 2019 as I felt the setting for it was more suited to that season. I have a few story ideas for Rurouni Kenshin. Since my short story collection, The Short Version, has received good responses and is one I enjoy writing, I decided to do a version involving Kenshin and Kaoru in their missing scenes and Post-Jinchuu (See Below). They are one of my all time favorite couples and to write them is always pure bliss. I do plan to update my Stories Coming in 2019 section at some point with several ideas. Expect stories outside Manga and Anime soon!!

UPDATE, 10/9/18: New chapter of The Short Version is up! Currently editing new one-shot stories, Life at 50: My Reflection and Always By Your Side, For Better or For Worse. I am also in the process of editing the first chapters of the new stories to debut this Sunday (See at bottom). My time management is still a problem. I am currently working a lot of late nights at the moment and recently attended a wake for a colleague's husband along with a supervisor's retirement party. Hopefully better time management will come along and my plans for a revamp of my bio page are under way. Thank you again to all who have been reading my stories and reviewing to sending messages!! Means a lot!!

UPDATE, 10/3/18: Good News!!! Currently editing the final chapter to Sadie Hawkins Part 2 and working on the first chapter of Sadie Hawkins Part 3. Changed schedule to other stories in an effort to be more time management efficient this month. New revamp of Bio this weekend! Thanks again!!

UPDATE, 9/28/18: Unfortunate issue with my laptop occurred this week. Several keyboard buttons decided to die out but I got a wireless keyboard for the time being. Working well so far. Due to this unexpected event, I have pushed back a couple of stories to different dates. See below for the changes. Published two new stories, my first for Sailor Moon (Hate You or Like You?: A Reflection) and Itazura Na Kiss (Worried for the Future: My Confession). Expect the conclusion for Sadie Hawkins Part 2 this weekend. Thank you and please R&R!

UPDATE, 9/25/18: New chapter up for The Short Version.

I have set premiere dates for some of the new stories and plan to complete Sadie Hawkins Part 2 this week. Expect new revamp of my profile! Thank you again! Please Read and Review!

UPDATE, 9/18/18: Posted new chapter to The Short Version. Expect final chapters to Sadie Hawkins Part 2. Some new chapters and stories are on the horizon! Keep an eye out. Updated possible titles to some new stories. Thank you again! Please Read and Review!

UPDATE, 9/11/18: Posted new chapters to The Short Version and Sadie Hawkins Part 2. New summary to Sadie Hawkins Part 3. Recovered from a recent cold but feeling fully recharged. Hearts to remembering this day from 17 years ago.

UPDATE, 9/4/18: Hello! Welcome to my brand new start here on . I have updated Sadie Hawkins Part 2 with TWO Brand New Chapters!! I had hoped to get The Baby That Brought Us Together and One Night Can Change Your Life Forever, but after rereading previous chapters, I decided to do some last minute editing. Both should be up later this week though.

My True Love? has been discontinued as of today. I have thought about a possible revision for the story though. If Nobuhiro Watsuki can do Rurouni Kenshin Resurrection, why not I?

New Story, The Short Version: A Short Story Collection... was published today, as of 9:45PM. However, due to time length uploads, it may not appear until tomorrow. However, updates will be every Tuesday on a weekly basis until completion later this year.

Thank you for reading and stopping by. Drop a review and/or PM me!!!

HUGE UPDATE/IMPORTANT NEWS, 8/29/18: Hello Everyone! Been a little over a year since my last profile update. After a lot of hard work and careful thought, I will be returning to with new stories and updates after labor day weekend. When relooking over my stories, I will be making several changes.

My first official story of titled My True Love? will be discontinued. Having reread and giving careful thought, I have decided to do this as my style and thought process have changed. I realize that this story no longer fits with who I am now nor do I have an interest in concluding. However, if anyone would like me to complete this story, I will consider to do so to provide some sort of closure. If not, it will be discontinued as of 9/4/18.

My other stories will be completed as follows. The final chapters of Sadie Hawkins Part 2 and its new/final Part 3 will be finishing in the month of September 2018. One Night Can Change Your Life Forever and The Baby That Brought Us Together will be finished by November or December 2018.

In the meantime, I plan to write and publish new, and hopefully exciting stories. Some new Rurouni Kenshin and a dabble with others, such as Sailor Moon, Itazura Na Kiss, TV Shows, etc.

As I write this, the current month of August marks 15 years since I signed up on . I hope that I can write and publish stories in this new start with better time management than ever before.

Thank you for all your support!!! NEW STORIES and UPDATES after Labor Day Weekend 2018!!!

IMPORTANT NEWS, 5/18/17: For anyone who has or still is looking at my profile, I have some news. Lately, I have been itching to get back to Fanfiction.net but much has changed in my life to the point where writing stories is no longer a hobby or main priority like it once was.

I joined in 2003 and loved it for many years. I started this as a fun project to write stories, meet people, and express creativity. I have never regretted it but much has changed in my life throughout the years. I have graduated college, found a full time job, and know myself better than I did years ago. Those are very positive things compared to who I once was a long time ago. And for that I am grateful.

So why come back? Well, lately I have come back to to reread stories and felt the spark once again. At this point my stories have aged quite a bit as each was written from the mind of a teenage girl back in the day. So much to the point where I may not finish them or possibly will do so for nostalgia. Still these stories are nearly 20 years old, but maybe I will see.

I am hopeful to get back into the swing of things with new stories not just Rurouni Kenshin but other anime and some TV shows or movies.

Skies the Limit!!!
