Author has written 3 stories for Harry Potter, and Naruto. (My avatar was made at bebinator . com, its makes super cute avatars *heart eyes emoji* check it out!) Reworked Profile: 09/07/2017 I thought I would re-do my profile. I'll have some facts about my writing/relationship with fanfiction in the first part of my profile, general life/fic updates below that, and story summaries with current next-chapter word counts at the bottom :) Hi! I'm fortheloveofb! Just so you know, I have a four-year-old who requires the majority of my attention, so fanfiction is not my first priority! As a matter of fact, in my user name (I hate coming up with user names) the 'b' is for my child's name~ I'm just going to tell you a bit about myself and my writing and my opinion on fanfiction in general! About my writing: I'm a very slow writer, when I sit down to write it doesn't come very easily to me. Half of the time I spend writing I end up nit picking the very little amount that I already wrote. I write a lot of internal dialogue, and I can't seem to get rid of it, I really want my readers to understand what's going on in my characters' heads and get a feel for them and why they make the decisions that they do. In general, my writing is very dense, and I know that isn't a lot of people's preferred reading style. I'm very descriptive, and consequentially my scenes end up really long. This also makes it hard for me to write time skips, because it doesn't flow very well to go from the in-depth scenes to skipping large blocks of time. It makes me nervous. I am afraid of writing incorrect information. So I end up reading lots of articles, or sometimes entire books to write something correctly, and often use all of that info to only write a few sentences. It's very frustrating. I've read three books to help me with New Reality so far, and many articles! I haven't had a chance to use much of the info yet (but we might see some next chapter and then you definitely will when I get to taijutsu!), but I have quite a few pages of notes, plus the original books that I can reference whenever. I don't take critiques very well. I never have, probably never will. Cry every time. Which also makes me nervous to post. I have a love/hate relationship with my writing. Most of the time I hate it, but sometimes I feel like I write well! I at least feel like my writing in and of itself is above average on this site... as for the plot. I'm more iffy with the creative side of things though I'm very excited for the plot divergences that I do think of. I just have trouble getting from point a to point b.About fanfiction: I first read fanfiction right before/at the beginning of my ninth grade year. They were all Twilight one-shots. I didn't realize at the time how fantastic fanfiction was, and proceeded to forget about it until 2013--after I had my child. As he got a bit bigger, I had trouble reading actual books and wanted something I could easily read on my phone while he slept on me or whenever I had free time etc. etc. I somehow managed to think of those one-shots and began reading Bloodlines fanfiction. From there the rest is history, I went to Harry Potter fanfics for the longest time before branching out farther and farther. Eventually I started getting into anime/manga and blah blah blah. You get it :) I generally, as a rule, try not to leave negative reviews (unless it's just abysmal and they didn't try at all). Most everyone works really hard, and spends a lot of time writing their fics and I appreciate the effort, even if I don't like the product as much as other people. I also tend to write reviews way way more often than I did before I began writing New Reality. I have immense respect for authors who churn out chapters like nobody's business! Along the same vein, the reason I have some many favorited stories is because I have no other way to show appreciation to the author, I can't leave kudos but not bookmark it the way I can on ao3 (I have one with the same username, btw!). Favoriting is the only thing I can do! Ayeeee, I beta read for valxra here on ! Check out her stuff, you won't be disappointed~~ ;) I read literally all kinds of fanfiction (het, slash, gen, crack, angst, SI/OC, tragedy, etc). I will say I'm not a fan of harems though. I tend to avoid them, but if it isn't in the summary/tags, and I start reading a fic I'll often finish it even if there is a harem. Harems just feel like cheap fantasies to me. Meh. Also, specifically in Naruto fanfiction, I don't read Kushina/Naruto fics. Does not make sense to me. No thanks. Writers who rehash canon and only toss in a new character that literally does absolutely nothing except stand there really pisses me off though, what is the point???? I prefer ao3 to read AND post fanfics, but there is such a larger selection of fics here, and a larger readership. Ao3 does have a larger selection for certain fandoms though, and for those fandoms I tend to read exclusively on ao3. Fanfiction is basically my life when I'm not with my son, I am reading literally whenever I have a spare moment. I am forever singing the praises of fanfiction and I think I honestly put people off with my passionate love of it. It's the only thing I ever want to talk about aside from my child and occasionally any shows I watch.About me: I'm female and a single mother. Older than 20, but younger than 25. Aroace~ I plan to start college in the spring, at least, that's the plan. I want to preserve books/paintings and such, and perhaps learn to restore/refurbish them as well. Librarian is my back up plan! My son is the most adorable kid ever. I know a lot of moms say that, but seriously. Everyone thinks he's a girl, they say he's too pretty to be a boy. I think he looks like a boy though... T.T I'm an INTP~ (Myers-Briggs personality test, super accurate. Take it) I really want to live in Europe... T.T and I've wanted to move out of the country (USA) since literally 7th grade lol I honestly have no idea what else to put here without sounding like I'm writing a dating profile.Life Updates Read the top notice for the most recent update. November 20th, 2017: o shit waddup. I've had a lot going on! Also, what is up with me updating this on my family's birthdays? It's my dads birthday! Happy birthday to him~ ANYWAY, GUESS WHAT? I have actually posted something. Unfortunately, I am going to post a lot more content on ao3 than on here from now on, more because the fandoms they are for have larger readerships over there than anything else. They also happen to be m/m. Sooo. Yeah, different from my (to-be-het-when-he's-older) current WIP. So if you want to read some m/m Haikyuu!! (and soon to be BNHA) one shots head over to my ao3 under the same name! *shrugs* Basically Ive been writing a lot... just not... for New Reality of Celestial Bodies... and get this, I signed up for four, COUNT 'EM, four fic exchanges (jfc I hate myself). So yeah??? I'm going to be writing those and I'm collaborating with a friend on another one shot which is what Im actually working on tonight??? I don't know what to tell you guys, but these one shots have got me kinda pumped... I'm also on discord now! PM me if you want to add me! I mean, I doubt anyone reads any of this garbage I post anyway, but whatever. November 1st, 2017: Yay! November! The first chapter of Celestial Bodies actually occurs on November 1st (my sisters birthday!!! Happy birthday to her!!)... I wish I could get it out today, but I have so much of it left to write that there is no wayyyy that that will happen. But!!! I’m working on it a lot lately and I have over 5k written rn. I’m hoping to get it out soon!!! Because I’m a piece of shit to theres no way better ex able to sit on this chapter. Especially because I want to send a link to the author that inspired this entire fic _ whatever. I’m pretty happy with what I’ve written most the time... i mean the rest of the time I hate it but what can we do? *shrugs* I hope everyone had an awesome Halloween! October 20th, 2017: Welp. Here I am after over a month of a whole lot of nothing... No excuses. I was just being absorbed into the Boku no Hero Academia and Haikyuu!! fandoms (that's right, I'm Haikyuu!! trash now). I'm sorry. I'm drowning in fics right now and they are taking up all of my free time. Which is shitty of me. The times I have been writing it's been me attempting to write a one shot for BNHA, but I can't seem to come up with something short enough to actually constitute as a oneshot... I've actually written a few scenes for a Izuku/Shinsou college!AU, but I can tell it would be some multi-chapter pit that would take me forever and I dont really want to start a third project. Meh. I have written a bit more for Celestial Bodies though and for the outline~ Basically I'm a terrible person who has been spending well over a month constantly glued to ao3 (because their selection for both of the aforementioned fandoms are bomb af). Oh! I have a tumblr now. It's pathetic probs, but oh well. it's just fortheloveofbmo (fortheloveofb was already taken D:) it's multi-fandom, and multi-shipping. Right now it's mostly BNHA though, tbh. After I post the next chapter of NR and tell everyone about my tumblr I'll probably start posting updates on there as well. September 7th, 2017: *cough* I got sucked into reading Lord of the Rings for the first time. Then *cough* for some god damn reason I thought it would be a good idea to watch My Hero Academia and I'm now in love (especially with Todoroki and Tsu-chan!). Then, *cough* I started watching Seraph of the End (can anyone say Yu/Mika fanfiction?!?!) which I am now about halfway through watching while also reading the rest of the My Hero Academia manga online (while planning to buy the actual manga at my local used bookstore! Way cheaper but I can only buy whatever volumes consumers have sold to them; good way to get cheap manga though, they're usually ~$3. I've gotten all of Death Note this way, I only need two more volumes to complete the set! Also working on buying Naruto, Black Butler, Noragami, and now My Hero Academia--wouldn't mind getting Tokyo Ghoul either tbh). Basically, I'm doing other things for a few weeks... but I'll be back to my usual writing soon. And I might be able to write more than usual when I start back up again because some of my family moved out so I can write any night now! When I get the motivation. I'll probably at least want to finish writing the first chapter of Celestial Bodies before working on the next chapter of NR though. I want to write a few chapters of Celestial Bodies before posting anything, but I had been planning on writing shorter chapters than I write for NR, but it's not looking like that's going to happen *angry face* My writing just cant be condensed down for now... anyway, when I do post the chapters I'll try for only posting one chapter every month so that I can attempt to stay on top of it if I can even manage to wait that long... I hate sitting on chapters lol Sorry for the long ramble-y ass update. August 24th, 2017: Guys, I am doing right by this HP fic. I have a fairly detailed outline and a bunch of different character 'info sheets' written out, along with a very (precise and accurate) timeline. With lots of little HP canon tid bits thrown in the mix randomly. I doubt people will pick up on all of them, but I don't mind. Actually I came across the fact that Cygnus Black III (Bellatrix, Andromeda, and Narcissa's father) was canonically not even fourteen when Bellatrix was born!!! Wtf! Definitely changed that... but yeah. Super stoked. I'm having quite a bit of fun writing this one, and it's not nearly as stressful as writing New Reality! (Not that I'm giving up on New Reality at all, just give me a bit on this one, okay?) August 20th, 2017: I am obsessing over this new fic. I have written a ridiculous amount of outline already, and I hope to start writing the first chapter soon. I won't post until I have at least 10-15 chapters written though. I am optimistic about this fic, seriously. August 19th, 2017: I've been working a lot on my outline/timeline and reading another book that will educate me about something that Ryuu will learn~ Also, I had a gigantic plot bunny!!!! It's for Harry Potter. I plan to run with it, but I won't post any chapters until I have a lot of chapters written (at least that's the plan, I'm hoping I can stick with it). August 12th, 2017: I'm about to post a chapter for New Reality~ New Reality (HP/Naruto crossover): When Draco Malfoy died shortly after the end of the war, he certainly hadn't bargained on his least favorite Gryffindor greeting him from beyond the grave. Or introducing himself as the 'Master of Death.' Not only that, but Draco has been given the responsibility of being reborn to help another child of prophecy. In a completely different universe. Luck just isn't with him. Chapter 5 word count: less than 1k In the works: Celestial Bodies Summary: Cassiopeia Black is the fourth Black sister. Reborn into the infamous Black family, with sisters who are major players in events yet to come—what will she do? SI/OC; inspired by A Fresh Bouquet by Tsume Yuki Chapter 1: Word count: 6.2k (~60% complete) |
