OMG!!! He said yes! Well actually he said "Where's the start button?"

We have been together for just over 5 years and although marriage has come up on a number of occasions, he would always tell people that he was waiting for me to propose. So I did. And being me, I had to do it in the dorkiest manner possible. In a nut shell, we were at Anime Weekend Atlanta in September, dressed up as Levy and Gajeel from Fairy Tail with my brother dressed as Natsu (see my profile pic) and I handed him the Mario box that I made. Inside was a picture of Peach and Mario and under that was "Will you be my player two?" The box had a ring slot with my ring being on the left with "Player one Ready" beneath it and his ring on the right with "Player Two, press Start" beneath it. I know he will never forget the way I proposed, and I definitely won't either. After all I love him to pieces and he was dressed as my absolute FAVE anime character of all time: Gajeel Redfox. It was definitely a double dose of "squee" to have him/"Gajeel" accept my/"Levy's" proposal.

I know, I know! Dork central right? I really couldn't care less. I have been on cloud nine ever since.

ABOUT ME:

Anyway, I'm in my early 30's, divorced, mother of two (10 & 12), "step - mom" to two (16 & 19), I have an amazing guy by my side supporting me in all of my dorky endeavors. I have three cats: Quinn, Angie and Frank, a Great Dane: Ollie and a Flemish Giant rabbit: Thumper. (Thumper passed away on December 13, 2013. Hop in paradise little girl.) I have an intense phobia of fish. (go ahead and laugh, my entire family finds it hilarious.) I tend to spend my free time reading, cooking, sewing and on the rare occasions I can make it, attending SCA events (Medieval Reenactments) and Conventions (mainly anime/sci-fi based ones).

I am currently in the process of making our cosplay outfits for Momo Con in May, and Dragon Con and AWA in September. After the mind blowing time that we had at AWA, this year, we immediately started planning to attend our next con. I had the opportunity to meet YaYa Han and the cast of Fairy Tail Podcast while we were there and was beside myself with joy. Of course the majority of our outfits are going to be Fairy Tail based, we are close to having the entire guild going to the next con (Woot! lol) I absolutely love the anime community and that includes the fan-fic authors too. With so much on my plate, it's a wonder I have the time to write at all...

*Update on the MomoCon trip: I have successfully recruited the entire cast of The Grand Magic Games Fairy Tail team A and Fairy Tail team B which include all three of the Exceeds (Happy, Lily and Charle) for the Dragon Slayers in addition to others. In total there will be 19 of us going, with outfits to include Log Horizon, Bleach, Full Metal Alchemist, Borderlands, Fairy Tail and Inuyasha. Currently I have completed the outfits for Laxus, Mirajane, Juvia, Elfaman, Erza, Wendy and Charle, Handsome Jack, Nyanta, and Bixlow. The remaining are Cana, Mystogan, Happy, Chibi Lily, Lucy for the GMG and her Celestial Outfit, Natsu for the GMG and his everyday, Gray for the GMG and his everyday, Erza's everyday, Shiro, Naotsugu, Akatsuki, Krusty, Murielle, Evergreen, Shippo, Inuyasha, Jacken, Rin, Stark, Urahara and Edward Elaric. It's going to be epic! Mayhap we will see you there. :) *

I am new to the Fanfiction concept all together. My very first piece ever (Regrets from Tenrou) took me a couple of weeks to write. The main reason it took me so long was because, well, life gets in the way sometimes. (a.k.a. kids/costumes/wedding planning) I am not a writer, but I am someone that loves to read. (Pretty much anything I can get my hands on.) When I read, I want to be able to read the whole story in "one-shot", including my novels. If a story sucks me in, I will not put it down until it's over. So I figured that would be the best way for me to do my stories. No offense to the writers that do their stories in chapters, I am just not able to work that way. There have been some really good ones out there that I have read.

Regrets was the first time I have put myself out there for other people to read, it was a bit intimidating, and I was honestly a bit apprehensive about its reception. I was not convinced that my work would have or should have gotten the reviews that it did. So, THANK YOU! for all of the reviews, I genuinly appriciate you taking the time to let me know what you think. Based on my reviews for "Regrets from Tenrou" my confidence has been boosted enough that I have been working on a Gajeel/Levy that is paralell to Regrets. I am hopeful that you all will enjoy it as much as Regrets.

Again, thank you all for your support, reviews, favorites, and followings.

Cully

I found this on Nicole4211's profile and thought I would borrow/steal it... ;) I looked like fun, and I wound up with some pretty...um...interesting results on some of the questions.

Fairy Tail fanfic challenge... number your favorite characters in order, and answer the following questions! Have fun!..

1. Gajeel

2. Levy

3. Natsu

4. Lucy

5. Laxus

6. Mirajane

7. Happy

8. Charla

9. Lily

10. Juvia

1. Have you read a 5/10 fic before?

Laxus/Juvia? Nope, hadn’t even thought about it.

2. Do you think three is hot? How hot?

Natsu? Hell Yeah!! In more ways than one too.

3. What would happen if six got one pregnant?

Mira getting Gajeel preggers? OMG! That’s a mental image I am sure to never forget….a pregnant Gajeel……………….

4. Do you recall any good fics about nine?

Lily? He’s been in quite a few that I’ve read but none that really focus on him as the main character.

5. Would seven and two make a good couple?

Happy and Levy? Ermmmmm. I don’t see inter-species working out too well.

6. Four/eight or four/nine?

Lucy and Charla or Lucy and Lily? Erm….. inter-species definitely not even on my radar.

7. What would happen if seven discovered three and eight in a secret relationship?

LMAO! Happy discovering that his partner Natsu was having a relationship with Charla? I think he would be totally crushed and betrayed. Why am I coming up with all of these inter-species pairings?!?!?

8. Make a summary of at least twenty words for a two/six fic.

Levy/ Mira – Levy needs some advice on how to entice some male attention and who better to help her catch the eye of a certain foul tempered dragon slayer than the infamous guild match maker? (ummm I actually already wrote this... It's a part of my last story Revelations from Tenrou. lol.)

9. Is there a such thing as a four/ten romantic fluff story?

God! I hope not! I much prefer to see Juvia (10) treating Lucy (4) as a “Love-rival” over Gray.

10. Suggest a title for a one/five Hurt/Comfort fic.

Confronting the Past.

11. What kind of plot would you use if four wanted to seduce one?

Lucy trying to seduce Gajeel to force Levy to finally admit her feelings for the Iron Dragon Slayer.

12. Does anyone on your friends list read number seven/nine slash?

I’m not sure what this question means.

13. If you wrote a songfic about number ten, what song would you chose?

I don’t really do songfics but for some reason the “Raindrop” song from Disney’s Bambi popped into my head as a song for Juvia.

14. If you wrote a two/three/six fic, what would the warning be?

Levy/ Natsu/ Mirajane- Warning, awkward-ness and face-palming ahead.

15. What pick-up line might eight use on five?

Charla on Laxus? I haven’t a clue (again with the inter-species?!?….. ugh, I can’t win!)
