Author has written 5 stories for Tales of Symphonia, and Fullmetal Alchemist.

Blah... I tried to avoid it, but it seems that I need to fill this thing out. -.-
Here's to evasiveness!

Name: A. R. Russ (A.K.A. skarlet13/skarlet143)
Age: I'm in the college kid brackett right now.
Gender: I'll let you guess. I mean, you do have a 50/50 chance of getting it right.
Residence: USA and that's as specific as I'll ever get.
Hobbies: Reading, Writing, Drawing, Gaming, Manga, Anime, and everything else that classifies me as a geek!
Interests: I am currently a huge fan of Tales of Symphonia, FullMetal Alchemist, and Tsubasa.

I do not write ANY yaoi or yuri! I know many of you will find that irritating, but I really don't care. You have your beliefs and I have mine. Therefore, I will not flame you for yours- so please be respectful and hold the same courtesy for me.

ToS Pairings:
These are the only pairings that I find plausible for the game.

RainexKratos (We all know she wants him.)
LloydxColette (I've been brainwashed; I know.)
GenisxPresea (Puppy love, eh?)
SheenaxZelos (Now that is some serious tension!)
ZelosxColette (Oh, come on! They're both Chosens.)
LloydxSheena (Definitely not my favorite, but still possible.)
RainexRegal (We all saw the skit where they admit that they are the only adults. mmhmm)
KratosxAnna (He got her pregnant. Do I really need to say more?)
YuanxMartel (So tragic...)
and believe it or not...
MithosxPronyma (Two words: unrequitted love.)

I'm sure that if you really stretch the characters and make them a little out of character then other pairings are possible, but that would take some real skill.

FMA Pairings:

RoyxRiza (Anyone who denies Hawkeye's love for her colonel is an idiot. Plain and simple.)
EdxWinry (Although, I honestly think it's more of a brother/sister thing than anything else.)
HavocxSciezska (They just don't know it yet.)
MaesxGlacier (Well, they are/were married.)
EdxRose (That's right, I do think that's possible!)
AlxArmstrong's Sister (HAHA! Wouldn't that be funny?)
ScarxLust (If she straightened out some and he loosened up.)
MartelxGreed (She is rather... devoted.)
DennyxMaria (Aww...)

Sidenotes:

There is no easy way to admit this, but I have been called a "grammar nazi" more than once. So, if I have ever left you a review commenting on your grammar, please do not take it personally. I do try to point out both the good and the bad when reviewing, but sometimes I come across wrong. I mostly do that because I wish more people did so with me; therefore, if you ever do see a mistake that I have made whether it be in spelling or grammar, please tell me. I am constantly trying to improve, and I value criticsm. (Especially if you find comma splices! I am notorious for them, yet I can never seem to find them.)

If you should ever have a question regarding my criticsm or just want to yell at me, then please feel free to e-mail me. I will try my best to respond to you promptly.
