I leave very strange reviews. I'm sorry if they frighten you. I just can't control my exuberance all the time. I only leave them because I love you.

Hello and welcome to this tiny corner of the internets that is mine.

I lurk on various websites.

Livejournal: http:/// (I babble about things no one cares about.)

Deviantart: http:/// (I pretend that I can draw.)

Formspring: http:///saffiremoon21 (I have long conversations in all caps.)

Twitter: http://twitter.com/saffiremoon21 (It's really boring.)

I have a Youtube account, but it's likely of no interest to you as I mostly use it to watch music videos from Korean boy bands and bits of Doctor Who and Top Gear.

I'm also really creative when it comes to thinking up usernames, in case you couldn't tell.

I'm a senior at Tulane University.

My career plans include being a hobo or a lottery winner. Or both.

My computer is a Sony Vaio laptop which I love beyond reason. It is my baby.

I do enjoy writing, but I am a rather cranky and tempermental writer- ideas either come barging in like a herd of wild horses demanding to be written or they don't show up at all. This is why you will go months without an update from me, and is also part of the reason why I don't do continuous stories anymore. The other part is that I'm very bad at coming up with endings to anything. I don't know why.

Thus I work on my collections. Most of my pieces are not short enough to be drabbles but not long enough to be one-shots...they're sort of inbetween. I'm not very good at longer pieces. I don't know why this is so, either.

I specialize in angst. This probably says horrible things about me but I like torturing my favorite characters. However, I will throw in the occasional bit of fluff just to make everyone happy.

I have copious amounts of spare time, and I generally spend it reading, trolling the Internet, listening to music, bothering my friends, writing, drawing, or working on computer graphics.

I like trees, sugar, nail polish, plushies and haikus.

I hate socks, broccoli, conflict, and uncomfortable beds.

I tend to be lazy.

I read more manga than I watch anime. Manga is easier for me to come by, as my local library stocks it.

Pairings I heart include:
Seth/Eirika (Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones)
Geoffrey/Elincia (Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn)
Roy/Riza (FMA)
Zechs/Noin (Gundam Wing)
Alex/Sophia (Last Exile)
Kenshin/Kaoru (Rurouni Kenshin)
Warden/Alistair (Dragon Age: Origins, female human noble Warden if we're being specific)
Doctor/Rose (Doctor Who, particularly 10th Doctor)
Booth/Brennan (Bones)

I'm not a fan of shonen-ai, shoujo-ai, yaoi, slash, yuri, or any of that stuff.

As I've said before, I don't write continuous stories anymore, so anything other than my three main drabble collections (Realization, Random Royai, and Blue Roses) will not be updated, most likely ever.

Random Royai was the first really successful thing I'd ever written, so I'm very fond of it. Although I'm not that big of an FMA fan anymore (yeah, I have a wallscroll, a clearfile, three figures, a charm, a pin, and some other stuff. I'm not a big fan, really. Really.) I still like the dynamic between Roy and Riza. Roy's dark personality allows me to explore some more morbid elements of humans than I can get into in my other ships.

Realization was my first venture into the Fire Emblem fandom, and it's just a bundle of fun. I loved both Seth and Eirika after my first playthrough of Sacred Stones, and nearly bawled my head off after their A support conversation. I refuse to believe that either Seth or Eirika could be paired with anyone except each other. It's just not happening. I'm particularly fond of S/E AU fics, although I haven't played too much with AU.

Blue Roses takes its name from the language of flowers- a blue rose symbolizes a love that is cherished and nurtured, but also a love that is hopeless and will never be requited or fulfilled. As I am an angst magnet, I thought this an entirely perfect title for a Geoffrey/Elincia collection. Their relationship is rather similar to Seth and Eirika's- but I think it's a little less hopeful and plus there's always that matter of Ike. (Never mind that Ike's run off after Radiant Dawn- I choose to ignore this.) Also, Elincia is quite a bit weaker, in terms of her character, than Eirika is. I actually quite like Elincia, although I feel bad for her. Eirika was raised as a princess, but poor Elincia just kind of got thrown into the whole thing. Plus she's got all those awful courtiers to deal with.

Just remember, reviews are always loved and appreciated, even if you can't come up with anything to say other than "This is good! I like it!". If you want me to work on something, or feel something needs to be changed, or I've made a mistake, please let me know. I have everything read by my amazing beta, wolfraven80, so most of my work should be decently typo free. Oh, and as a final note, please don't read my old fanfictions. They're awful. Please. I just don't want to delete them because I don't have them saved anywhere else. (I sort of have an amazing talent for killing computers.)
