A/N: Like my other stories, would you guys like an opening sequence description? I was just wondering, because they're fun to write. If you want it, just review~ If not, hold your piece….just kidding, I love reviews! Flames…meh…they torment me endlessly, and can't sleep because of them. So….flamers, just know that you torture my soul when you say such mean things! Sorry if this comes across very critical when it comes to fanfiction fluff (actually, I love reading it ^_^), but the character I created dislikes it, a lot. For some reason I want her to come off as a really cold girl, and that's the only reason I expressed her thoughts in that manner. Please, RER. Read, Enjoy, and Review.

"Mistress of Manipulation" that had a certain sadistic ring to it. Her title was not without reason, for she had been selected for one of the coveted Gilded Typewriter Awards three years in a row. On thearchives of FictionFanzdotnet she held the record of most stories published, and most regular in updates. But it wasn't about 'quantity'. Any writer could have quantity when it came to a story.
Fluff was not something she put into practice in her prose. Fluff was for amateurs who wanted—starved for the attention that came with properly written puffs of cotton candy literature. Not her. She was shooting for fame, true internet fame; to be forever idolized on the web was an aspiration she longed for in the secret, sealed away chambers of her own unexplored heart.
Online she was DatingSimVisionary209. Offline, she was Reina, ReinaHishugu—and she was taking the FanFiction world by storm, one site, one story, and one chapter at a time.

1: Enter, ReinaHishigu!- Fanfictionwriterextraordinaire?
Fingers clacked against the plastic keys in rapid succession. Words scrambled across the monitor displaying her newest masterpiece. On-screen her fanatical imagination worked wonders, juxtaposing characters and circumstances, to form the perfect romance. Her current work, a little number she called "Iro no Aoi Beating Heart" revolved around her latest obsession.
datte touzen ja nai face to face bad time?
The DatingSim she'd completed only yesterday lay active on the screen of her PFP beside her busy keyboard as she hacked away at the characters, stripping them down to their true natures and twisting their environment in unthinkable ways, which generated a story both believable and heartfelt at best.

Yes, "Vein Love" was a pretty interesting sim; the plot was solid yet flexible, and changed in drastic ways depending upon the player's actions. The only problem was that it was too formulaic, and had the clichéd 'she was made for you' theme going for it.
It revolved around the main character, Keiita Omayaru, a lonely teen vampire in search of his soulmate. His problem, however, was that Keiita failed at being a truly fearsome vampire in nearly every way. Sunlight only gave him mild sunburn, garlic and holy water only frightened him instead of causing a severe injury. The original story starts with the introduction of Keiita and his peculiarities, but jumps into the action very promptly. While he is taking his usual evening stroll he encounters Verona Fletcher, a flighty, hot-tempered vampire girl who is adamant about staying single forever. From there on, the game's objective is to capture her heart and make Verona Keiita's bride.

ii ko ja susumenai love will be overheat!
As Reina surmised correctly, most players find this option the best to pick, as there are three other possible candidates for conquest. However, the creators made it nigh impossible to pursue these options. One of two things would happen if it were to be attempted.
Verona would pop out of nowhere and somehow completely mess up the chance of capture.
Or some random plot event would cause a complication that could not be reversed.
Thus, it was up to her to try out these possibilities.
It was her responsibility to reveal the ifs and whats and hows. Yet! Not only was it her job to alert them to the road not taken, it was her duty to pursue other paths not outlined by the creators, within the realms of possibility.

Right now Reina stopped mashing the keys and looked at her unfolding origami of love. It was possible that the human girl Marisa would have been a better match than either the werewolf Ramona or the ghost Erika. But, sooner or later she would have to choose one of the girls to be with Keiita at a later chapter in the story.

FictionPrez dot com, FanZfiction dot com, FictionFanz dot net, it didn't matter the site, or the genre or the formatting. Reina had everything interconnected. From her main profile on FictionFanz she linked to her numerous other profiles. They carried the backups of her stories in the event FictionFanz crashed severely, the likes of which would inevitably delete all the stories, leaving most of the authors destitute and without their works.
"Reina Reina Reina Reina!" Footfall form the hallway made its echoed path to her room and stopped in front of the threshold of the door. Cream-coffee eyes blinked once, then twice, waiting for the response.

Unchanging in her typing speed, the peeved dramatist frowned—an action that reached her already wrinkled forehead, making the grooves deeper. Ice cubes might as well have fallen from Reina's pink little lips.
"Machi,"she adjusted her wireframes to settle more comfortably on the bridge of her nose. "You knownot to disturb me when I am writing."
"I know, but—," the girl was cut off by an upraised hand from her older twin. Vexed, Machi pulled on the low light brown silk that was tied off in a loose pigtail.
"Does this have to do with Dating Sims?"
"How did—?"
"Elementary reasoning, which I have no time to discuss."
Her desk chair swiveled to face the girl she dreaded calling 'imoutou' for many reasons deeply ingrained from early childhood memories. "Do you know how close I am to my next deadline?"
Machi pouted and balled her fists."V-very?" Her sister never had time to spend with the family. Always on her computer, PiPad, or PFP, or something that would whisk her away from the real world.
"Yes. I need peace and quiet to finish this chapter, as well as the other twelve stories on my list of things to do."
"But Papa's home from work early. He said that today we could go to the amusement park together." It was a rare occurrence, seeing as their father owned a very successful business downtown, one that usually required that he work as late as 2 AM. As a result he was almost never home, but it didsupply Reina with the money she needed to buy not only her games, but the latest light novels and other things she used as resources for her own works.

kimi wa dou shitai no? baby... you're only one!
Reina closed her eyes and sighed deeply. "Why didn't you say so?" It was something like that, huh? She shrugged away the anger and stood, pressing save on her word processor. Reaching below, the girl yanked a jump drive from the USB port of her desktop. "I guess I'll come with."
Startled, Machi felt her own forehead to see if there was a reason for her to hallucinate.
"R-really?"
Clicking the light off, Reina surveyed the room and snatched up her PFP before closing the door behind her. A glare flashed over the lenses of her glasses, obscuring her navy blue eyes.
"Sure. As long as I can work on my stories."
