Name:Afrieal

Name:Ryshandra

Hair: Strawberry blonde

Hair: Red (sort of)

Eyes: Blue/grey/green depending on mood

Eyes: Grey but tend to go flat silver when ticked off (Rysh and her temper are sort of my inspiration for Ari in OB)

Ry has been backing away a bit from fan fictions for a while she still reads them from time to time and has a couple she and I have co-written that are mostly in pieces but she due to r/l stuff is not as active which is why i'm writing this. Also both of us practice a non christian religion (no i'm not saying which one) we both respect all religious practices for example during the christmas season we will usally say "Merry Christmas" to our Christian friends or "Happy Hanukka" to those with Jewish beliefs. But we use a more generic "Brightest Blessings to you " when we are unsure of your belief. This is our conscious choice it isn't a "PC" decision this is who we(meaing our family units) are. Oh btw this is not a rant or anything it's just a friendly explination.

Both of us are kind of rotten with reviews. if we put you on author allert and fave your pages that means we REALY love your work. usually one of us or both will review if we can think of the right things to say (i know kind of funny for an author huh) or our computer lets us. for some reason our firewall and other protection software gets tetchy. half the time we can't even log into our account if it throws up a capachia because it labels it as malware. so know we do apreciate the trouble you go to in writing and we will try to get better at reviewing.

It has come to my attention that there is a person or persons targeting authors that are not writing stories to their liking by using the site's "error free " clause as well as other clauses in the guidelines. I am truely saddened that this person whoever he or she may be has decided to preform this brand of censorship i know of a few authors i dearly love to read that are consdering pulling out of this wonderful site because of this. I will continue to attempt to write and upload when i can and i have the full support of my friend Ry on this as well.

I understand not liking content that is adult in nature i have younger family members that not only read but post on this site. It just saddens me that one person's dislike of content of certain types can terrorize good authors off this site. In my humble opinion that is a form of terrorism and to find out yesterday on the anniversary of 9/11 here in the united states that somone is doing this to authors from several uploading points around the world saddens me greatly.

Due to several problems including having to deal with World Of Warcraft taking over the household we're attempting to update as soon as possible we've gotten access to a computer we can acutally read/review on but have limited time on it and are not sure the firewall will let us upload. We have half an update for You are not alone and another chapter for Odd Bird on flash drive and hope to upload them before the end of January 2010

Thank you to those of you who have offered support and resources and to those of you who have subbed.

I am trying to update this bio every so often but as you can tell i'm leaving some of the earlier pieces of it. This is to show how we've grown and changed over the years we've been officially "on" this site altho we've been lurking for a long time we finally took the plunge and created a bio in March of '04. We would like to thank all the writers on this site for sharing their talents we enjoy not only the fun of writing our own work but reading yours.

Afrieal and Ryshandra

Here's a great link for those of you writing anime fanfics of any type it's a great Japanese English dictionary. I got the link from somone on a diffrent fanfiction site. http:///cgi-bin/j-e/dict

Attn: Full Metal Alchemist fans!!

We are you-tube surfers and we came across this great Vid on one of the channels we sub to (This guy is great he's made some DMC vids that will make you roll on the floor laughing) Anyway we wanted to share the link with y'all and if anyone's a RR Please bring it to their attention. Due to some SERIOUS screwy stuff with the computer we're using we can't access the RR site at all. The creator of this AMV is SupaSaiyan4vegito if you're a You-tube Fanatic please Sub to his channel he's got some GREAT AMV's! Anyway here's the link

Someone that checked out our bio recently said it was a bit depressing and I agree All I can say as it has beeen a couple years of constant chaos between Rysh and my family having problems and my continuing health issues my stories have suffered. I apologize... Hey now It's not as bad as some they leave you hanging for years then pop up with a new ID... Knock it of kiddo or I'll pull a Death Note on yaeeeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkk plot bunnies you're gonna attract more of those critters Af...Argh she's right. Oh right now I'm blaming You-tube for the current crop that keep me from finishing a darn chapter in anything... I've got the starts for 8 new stories all inspired by various AMV's out there. Not to mention the pollen count is unbelievable and I'm sneezing my tail off. I'll try to update more soon but Yamma (the person that owns the ONE working computer in the house) is doing papers and PowerPoint presentations for finals for the next two weeks. Oh one last thing... Due to the season and allergies the lovely meds i take make me act like a Malcavian on Crack (if you know what a Malcavian is without resorting to looking it up you get a cookie I'm not telling you which branch i used to play with) so fair warning all things are going to be a bit more weird.

Af

we are constantly adding and subtracting stuff in the bio so if it makes little sense sorry... we're eclectic little critters and it shows i guess

We missed putting this on for world Aids Day and we apologize We would like to post this now anyway thank you to fullmetalsgirl192: http://www.fanfiction.ws/u/1054606/fullmetalsgirl92

Notice: To all those who think Homophobia is wrong and want to fight for a better future for our gay and lesbian friends please re-post this into your profile:

I am the girl kicked out of her house because I confided in my mother I am a lesbian.

I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.

I am the sister that holds her gay brother tight thru the painful, tear-filled nights

We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.

I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.

I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.

I am one of the lucky ones, I guess I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks and in another year I would probably be able to walk again.

I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school it was simply to much to bear.

We are the couple that had the Realtor hang up on us when she realized we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.

I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me

I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed and raised. The court says I'm an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.

I am the domestic violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.

I am the domestic partner who has no support system to turn to because I am male.

I am the father who has never hugged his son because he grew up afraid to show affection to other men.

I am the Home-Economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.

I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.

I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I did not have to always deal with society hating me.

I am the man who stopped attending church not because I don't believe but because they closed their doors to 'my kind'.

I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.

I am the person who is afraid of telling his loving Christian parents he loves another male.

Re-post this if you believe homophobia is wrong do your part to end it.

We have lost family and friends to hate of all kinds please do not let it flourish.

We miss our friends that have died. The friends we have lost due to their inability to think ouside the box.

But We Still Love Them

Afrieal and Rysha

Due to a major computer glitch on both our computers we have no way of accessing our stored fictions we still can review tho and will continue to do so. Currently we're stealing time to try to transcribe some of the stuff we've written longhand to one of our mate's computers to upload. please be patient we're trying to get things done.

As Rysh said please be patient. The system we have access to doesn't have a floppy drive just a CD and the dinosaur didn't have a burner. We do have a bunch of bleach fics planned as well as a one-shot that has to do with one of our trigun fics for some reason Rysh is obsessed with twins. personally I think it has to do with the fact she's in lust with Million's Knives AF NOT NICE seriously tho we are trying. Also one or both of us are going to be going to a couple Anime cons this year so I'm trying to get her to learn Ikkaku's lucky dance (she has a sword in a sheath mine doesn't have one) to show off snicker

we are now moved and living in the city of Dark Angel fame (you have to have seen the show to get the reference) so that's one less reason we're not posting but we're trying

As Ever

A & R

Hi my co conspirator Ryshandra aka Rysha and I both love fanfic and we've been at it since before we knew it was a genre we're what you could call adults I guess and both of us have loving partners that put up with our obsessions

Hi there as my buddy Affie says we're co-conspirators well almost two halves of the same brain so to speak and as to the obsession part I think they're happy to get rid of us when we start the maniacal giggling not to mention the critiques in the middle of watching shows we are going to fanfic with or their reactions to their sacred "Star Trek" it's so much fun to make jokes at the toupee wearing idiot with the ...tendency...to make in--appropriate pauses ..in ..his ..speeches

As I was saying before she interrupted we've been at this forever and we want to share it with you but there's this problem, right now all the stories we've written so far are trapped on a computer that's probably as old as "The castle beyond the goblin city" is nudging affie in the ribs -sigh- alright it's only 12 years old but it's sitting without a modem and a working floppy disk drive till my techie can find the time to fix it sorry to disappoint by the way our techie's wife just had a girl and Affie doesn't trust me with the tools, geesh I short out one little lamp...You shorted out the lamp as well as the fan and your new sewing machine because you put too powerful a bulb... but enough about that here's what we're gonna do when I get it fixed and off my hubby's 'puter

Just a note when you see the asterisk next to text here or on opening notes on a chapter its me not Affie if the thing won't save the asterisks it'll be a bold italicized we're not good at HTML so we're working on limited knowledge

The stories are in the following genres tho

X-Men (the comics that are from the era when Jubilee entered colour my stories mostly)

Hellboy (both movieverse and some graphic novel inspired)

Labyrinth

Gargoyles (mostly the original series I was deprived of the Goliath chronicles)

Ghost in the shell (mostly inspired by the movies and series)

Full metal alchemist (the Americanized version is all i've seen)

I'm toying with possibly InuYasha (the Americanized version is my only source sorry)

and the much made fun of Star Trek if we can get the S/o to lay off the threats to our writing time

on a side note the reason it's just Affie's name is we're trying to keep it simple and not go over the character limit... she's the writer I'm the .oo1 that puts it over the edge in ideas

no you're the idiot that keeps bugging me for more in the story till it's done -snicker-
