Ah, so you've decided to read a bit about me! Really, there isn't much to tell. But I shan't disappoint you if that's what you set to do! Alright then; I had prepared something of a profile page for myself for just this occasion! And here we are!
AGE: -30, +15
BRIEF DESCRIPTION: "Visionary, capable, organized; distracted, self-hurtful, confused” (“Secret Language of Birthdays” by G. Goldschneider and J. Elffers)
NUMBER OF CURRENT WORKS: 50 (19 fanfiction, 15 books, 5 screenplays, 1 play, 7 manga series, two robots, one language, one card game, architectural designs)
My favorite anime shows are Yuu Yuu Hakusho, Inu Yasha, Rurouni Kenshin, Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, Fruits Basket, Candidate for Goddess, and Someday's Dreamers. Kiddy Grade, Spiral, Video Girl Ai, and Scrapped Princess look interesting, though I don’t know too much about them. I like the anime movie Akira, as well as the manga Hanazakari no Kimitach e (AKA Hana-Kimi), Legal Drug (also known asLawful Drug), Instant Teen, and Chobits.
As for non-anime series, I’m dedicated to a (relatively) select few: CSI (occasionally CSI: Miami), Law & Order, Law & Order: SVU, Smallville, Angel, 60 Minutes, and Myth Busters. (I think I like them in that basic order, too.) As well, if something on the History Channel or Discovery Channel piques my curiosity, I’ll watch that.
I also like the following books or series: The “Alex Cross” series by James Patterson, The Brethren by John Grisham, The Giver by Lois Lowry, Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, Holes by Lois Sachar, the "Remnants” series by K. A. Applegate, the “Harry Potter” series by JKR, Inkheart by Cornelia Funke, and Running Out Of Time by Margaret Peterson Haddix. Sometimes I like my own books, too - that is, the ones I write; but then, who doesn’t like his or her own work every so often?
I have way too many favorite bands and singers to list, so I won't. Quite a few, though. Perhaps I'll add them later... I'll just say that my tastes in music range from classical to rock to jazz to hip-hop, excluding most country music.
My writing style in regards to actually sitting down and working used to be that I'd get an idea and run with it, abandoning (for the moment) whatever I was working on at the time, until I'd lose interest with the new piece and go back to the first one. I suppose that’s how I got to having - what is it? - 40-something pieces. But I've been working on not doing that - that is, as frequently. Some stories I only work on when I feel I really can, and those tend to not be updated for shamefully long periods of time; while with others, I just plod along and tell myself I've edit it later (which I do - perhaps a bit obsessively...). I think it's more the overall content of the story than any conscious descision that determines whether a fanfiction will be a "trudger" or not.
Well, if you'd like to know anything else, my (AIM) screennames are Nefarious Vulpix and XxSilvertongue! Until then.
