Update: November 16, 2012: So I have applied to grad school (yay!) and school has kept me insanely busy so I am barely at my house let alone getting time to write. However, once the semester is over I plan to try and catch up on the writing since I have had some good ideas coming into my head recently lol. I am sorry to everyone who has been waiting for new chapters to my ongoing stories, but I am sure everyone understands when I say life has been getting in the way. I will do what I can during the holiday season.

About me:

My name is Melissa (but my nicknames include Mel, Strife, Bubbles and others I forget lol) I have been a member of this site for years, at least 8 or 9 years. I have been writing fanfictions for a long time, some worse than others haha, but I have been improving. I don't have as much time to write as I would like, but I try my best and I hope some people truly do like my writing (even if I don't like it myself lol)

I am a senior in college, majoring in history and hoping to teach history to high school students once I am finally done with all this school stuff. Unfortunately, school gets in the way of my writing so I don't have as much time to write my stories as I would like. I am also bisexual, but I lean more towards women (I blame Kos-mos from Xenosaga for that lol). I consider myself to be a gamer, I play video games as much as possible (probably another reason why it takes me awhile to get writing done lol). My favorite games ever are probably the Xenosaga series, Star Ocean 3, and Persona 3.

Stories in progress:

Love After War (re-write): working on chapter 2

On Our Ways: working on chapter 4
