Hello, and welcome to my profile! Well, I am, of course, Lady ot Rings, and below you will find some lists of my favorites.

But first, you must know that I am a crazy 20-year-old from the middle of nowhere, USA, who is majoring in English (Creative Writing, to be specific) at the University of Dayton (that's in Ohio)!

Pairings I support:

Lord of the Rings: Arwen/Aragorn, Éowyn/Faramir, Éomer/Lothiriel, Sam/Rosie, Pippin/Diamond, Merry/Estella, anything canon, really.

Star Wars: Qui-Gon/Tahl, Anakin/Padme, Obi-Wan/Siri, Obidala, Han/Leia, not big on Luke/Mara, but it's still coolies, Darman/Etain, Atin/Laseema, Ordo/Besany.

Harry Potter: Ron/Hermione, Harry/Luna, Harry/Ginny, Ginny/Neville, Neville/Luna, Fred/Angelina, Katie, or Alicia, George/Angelina, Katie, or Alicia, Mr. Weasley/Mrs. Weasley, Lupin/Tonks, slightly Lupin/Lily, more schoolboy crush than romance, Dumbledore/McGonagall, Bill/Fleur, unrequited Snape/Lily.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Will/Elizabeth, Jack/Anamaria, Jack/Tia Dalma.

Chronicles of Narnia: Caspian/Susan (Yes, it's only movie canon, but I like it!).

LOST: Charlie/Claire, Jack/Kate, Sawyer/Kate, Hurley/Libby, Sun/Jin, Sayid/Shannon.

Pride and Prejudice: Elizabeth/Mr. Darcy, Jane/Mr. Bingley, Mr./Mrs. Bennett.

Doctor Who: Doctor (Nine and Ten)/Rose, Ten/Martha, Martha/Jack, Jack/Rose.

Torchwood: Jack/Gwen, Rhys/Gwen, Owen/Gwen, Jack/Ianto (Ack! The slash!), Ianto/Tosh, and anything else that turns out to be canon, even if it will be slashy. I don't like slash, but for some reason, I can accept it with this show. Darn you Russel T. Davies! Darn you Jack! ;) And for some reason, the whole Jack/Jack thing won't leave me alone...ack! More slash! What have you done to me, cruel, cruel world?

Cowboy Bebop: Spike/Faye, slight Spike/Julia.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Edward/Winry, Roy/Riza, Alphonse/Mei, Ling/Ran Fan.

Trigun: Vash/Meryl, Wolfwood/Millie.

RENT: Roger/Mimi, Roger/April (pre-movie), Mark/Maureen (pre-movie again), Maureen/Joanne, Angel/Collins. And, yes. This is really the only fandom in which I LIKE the same-sex relationships. Pretty much because they're so flippin' amazing. Especially Angel/Collins. But then I believe that everyone needs their own personal Angel. She's just that awesome.

Firefly/Serenity: Mal/Inara, Kaylee/Simon, Wash/Zoe.

The Office: Jim/Pam.

Robin Hood: Robin/Marian, Will/Djaq, Little John/Alice.

Battlestar Galactica: Apollo/Starbuck, Boomer/Helo, Adama/Roslin, Chief/Cally.

And now, for a word from my sponsor:

(cricketcricket)

Thank you!

If you're still reading by now, wow, you're awesome! God Bless you and give you lots of cookies!

The moon is made of cheese!

As for "Good Hands"...I think I've given up on it. It just isn't interesting to me anymore and I've improved so much since I started it that it wouldn't feel right. But I'll keep it up just for kicks and giggles.

I do believe I've found my calling, though...one-shots are amazing! And so fun to write!

Okie, now I'm done. No I'm not.

I like to type, can't you tell?

And randomness rocks my socks off...greatest thing ever invented...along with chapstick.

And duct tape. I figured out that duct tape solves everything except indigestion. Amazing, huh?

Ok, now I'm gone...I hope you enjoyed this work of art that I call a profile. If you're STILL reading, then may you be happy in knowing that I'm in a good mood at the moment and shall not torment you any longer. Ciao!
