Okay, I am not new to this site. Still, I am newly re-introduced. I first joined when I was on the doorsteps of my teenager days. Like most of you, after having been disappointed for the umpteenth time by writers/authors about my preferred pairings or endings, I googled for a solution and stumbled upon this site. Eventually, I was spending so much of my time reading, trying out writing didn't seem to be such a bad idea (wondering about that one though). It was a huge challenge for me and not just the writing : English isn't my first language. It was a good opportunity to improve it. I tremendously did.

I met a lot of interesting and amazing people here. They shook my world with their stories, friendliness or constructive feedback. Some of them offered all of it ! I sincerely hope any aspiring artist will share this fate. This experience did wonders to me through the haze that is puberty. Wow, I'm getting all emotional on that other side of the screen. If I ever end up getting to see my life flash in front of my eyes, there is one sad memory that will haunt me in the afterlife. The one where I loudly complained and ranted about a loved but forever incomplete story as I promise myself never to let down anyone reading my stories with anything other than faulty plot, bad English and cliches. How naive of me.

I'd like a moment of silence (Asthmatic breathing loudly, this is for you.) in loving memories of any friend/fan I lost touch with and to whom I'll just be... I have yet to know what I was to them but they were a big part of my days at one point. I am sorry for anyone I disappointed with unfinished stories, unreturned emails or just sucky writing (though I feel better about that one than the former). I am aware they probably will never get to read this apology.

Also, I will want to acknowledge as puclicly as possible (this is a grand gestue...not really) one person on this site that have literally change my life. It's about showing me a great purpose to writing, about giving me a literary level to reach, about making me believe I could also move people by sharing my world, about letting me experience all kind of emotions that stirred up my imagination, about making me feel important as part of their own world, about helping me improve as a writer/reviewer/foreign language speaker, about giving me much needed confidence about myself.
Thank you for everything,
Maia's Pen.

Pairings I ship to the point of actively seeking fanfics about them:
Gary x Misty (pokemon) -- Also known as Egoshipping.
Ryoma x Sakura (Prince of tennis) -- Referered to as RyoSaku
Hermione x Draco (harry potter) -- Also known as Dramione.
Dan x Blair (gossip girl) -- Also known as Dair.
Vegeta x Bulma (dragon ball)
Robin x Zoro (One piece) -- Also known as Zorobin

This is confidential (posting is meant to make it official not public. I know faulty logic.) information I try (not so hard) not to reveal as most of my entourage seems to be composed of mature people above cartoons. There is a pattern if you're wondering. Either one character is just too awesomely great on their own and I have to hitch them up with an approved counterpart or the pair is hilariously arch-enemies/rivals/frienemies. Or both. I fall in love with dark guys or independant girls all the time. Also, I WUB love/hate relationships. There is just something so sexy about protoganists fighting, arguing, hating each other's guts as they have to endure the other's company. Imagine the hilarious aspect of that story when love gets thrown into the mix. PERFECTION. I can already picture all that good angry sex ! ... Not that I will. More than once. Or twice.

I chose to write about pokemon because it was a world that blew my mind away by its creativity. I had a wide imagination and this world was so complete, so perfect, so inviting.The games, the cards, the memories... I have yet to know if I ever will try to write in other sections.
3 stories that greatly influenced my pokemon (especially) egoshippy writing career (some of you paid me attention, I'll accept that as salary) :
- Watch your back by Maia's Pen
- The Flame and the Ember by Midnight-mist-87
- Pick up lines (How to get the girl) by Kayley Laskitt
