Hi, I'm Emma. Em for short if you like.
I'm not a social creature by nature. I read once that humans require other humans to thrive but honestly, I prefer solitude. Interaction makes me uncomfortable and I'd rather not if it can be helped. I'm cautious and distrusting, therefore I have acquaintances rather than friends. I do believe people come into your life for a reason and a season and when that time is over, rather than mourn it, celebrate it for having occurred.

Traveller - I have goals to travel everywhere.
Reader - I'm always reading something; always.
Writer - An old childhood friend told me fanfiction helped heal her wounds. I quite liked that idea. I haven't posted anything as of yet; perhaps someday.

I'm quite fond of good stories but good is subjective.

I adore Pansy Parkinson.
Is she is a Ship? Can she be a Ship? Is Ship even capitalised?
Although, I won't read her with Draco. It feels wrong to me, much like reading Hermione with Harry. The sibling vibe doesn't do it for me in the least.

Actually been dabbling in some Twilight fanfiction and I haven't decided how I feel about it.
I cannot in good conscience pretend to like Edward Cullen. Frankly, he's the epitome of abusive and I refuse to romanticise controlling manipulative behaviours. Honestly, I'm shocked to see how many women exist that see utterly nothing wrong with him. The guise of "protecting her" is flimsy at best. Apparently, people do not enjoy the discussion such thought processes entail and as such, my PMs will remain closed.

Alice isn't much better. Therefore, as far as Twilight is concerned, I'll stick with any story in which Edward and Alice are dead.

The lack of good Jasper and Bella stories is disconcerting.

If I've taken the time to read your works, I shall probably leave a review, but I cannot promise it will always be a glowing recommendation. I find honesty is a much better policy, even if the truth can be painful.

Pet Peeve:

All right, here it is.

Research. It is a beautiful thing. If, as a writer, you're going to touch on delicate subjects such as but not limited to domestic abuse, PTSD, miscarriage, death, have the bloody decency to research it properly. Properly is the keyword. Properly isn't relying on what a friend of a friend told you. It's putting on your big girl or boy knickers and utilising the internet that is available at your fingertips.

Also, you can't have it both ways. Either you did the research or you didn't because "it's just fiction, it doesn't need to be accurate", which bullshit by the way. Yes, this is fanfiction but if you can't be bothered to put forth your best effort, you've lost the right to whine and complain when someone points out the blatantly obvious errors. It's offensive to the writers who give their best, their all.

I refuse to shower you in false praise. I refuse to applaud your laziness. I also refuse to apologise. My mate warned me fanfiction was shark-infested waters, entitled writers, and people who refused to accept anything less than the vomitously false narrative of only praise. I didn't believe her. I should have.

Cheers
