![]() Hey, I'm luinvinial! I work as a beta for Project Team Beta and adore nothing more than process of reading and analyzing literature... even more than writing itself. Consequently, I am extremely particular of what I read and what I recommend to others. Feel free to check out my favorites lists (I honestly can recommend ALL of them) or pm me if you'd like some personal suggestions. I usually spend my time reading and listening to music. I love writing, but often experience a lack of inspiration significant enough to prompt me to actually write. My favorite fan fictions are typically the more angsty, depressing, or serious ones because they take that much more skill to write and you can actually see how much talent the author has... which is why I'm too intimidated to write anything too serious. :D But those are the stories that you can really appreciate, as they include characters with depth to them and deal with crucial themes. I am always open to story requests and would love any ideas on what to write next! I am also currently available as a regular Beta to anyone open to constructive criticism and are seeking to improve their work. I frequently edit works from individuals from Project Team Beta, fellow students, and friends. Read my Beta Profile for more information on how to do so. Here is a random quote that help express my mindset as a writer. "Be a sadist. No matter how sweet and innocent your leading characters, make awful things happen to them — in order that the reader may see what they are made of." And one that expresses myself as a reader. "Give your readers as much information as possible as soon as possible. To hell with suspense. Readers should have such complete understanding of what is going on, where and why, that they could finish the story themselves, should cockroaches eat the last few pages." Definitely two distinct approaches. ^^ Currently working on: Miscellaneous Twilight fanfics in the brainstorming process. More info soon. On Hold: My crackfic, "Sincerely, Edward Cullen" is on hold until further notice. I have recently lost the inspiration to continue the work, but have both the next chapter, and final conclusion outlined. If I ever get to completing it, I will post it as soon as possible. Favorite Music: Switchfoot Relienk K Nickleback Capital Lights Celtic Woman Drake Bell Pendulum Keane Juanes Bacilos Camila Calogero KJ-52 Mika Nota Charlotte Church Josh Groban (amazing voice!) Carly Smithson B. Reith Regina Spektor Demi Lovato The New Radicals Alek Shrader Chris Daughtry, Adam Lambert, David Archuleta, David Cook, Matt Giraud, Jason Castro, and others from American Idol Misc. songs from Musicals such as "Parade" "Wicked" "Ragtime" "Company" and "A Chorus Line" Many, many more... Favorite Shows: Whose Line is it Anyways Scrubs Kathy Griffen Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends Top Model American Idol Intervention Extras The Office (UK) SNL True Life 10 Things I Hate About You Community Larkrise to Candleford SOME Favorite Movies: Pirates of the Caribbean Lord of the Rings 1408 The Crucible The Lives of Others Once A Walk to Remember Rush Hour A Beautiful Mind (simply amazing) Stardust Zodiac Spiderman The Count of Monte Cristo A Knight's Tale Night at the Museum Fever Pitch Pay it Forward The Sixth Sense Toy Story The Chronicles of Narnia Music and Lyrics BATMAN!! West Side Story Grease Favorite Books/ Series' A Great and Terrible Beauty Wheel of Time Catch-22 Airborn A Tale of Two Cities My Brilliant Career Jane Eyre Maximum Ride ALSO many, many, more... Favorite Books for Fanfics : Maximum Ride Twilight The favorite quotes and sayings…. All things considered, insanity may be the only reasonable alternative. I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound as they go by. If you can stay calm when all around you is complete chaos, you probably haven't fully understood the situation. All the good ones are either gay, married, or fictional characters in books or movies. When life gives you lemons, make grape juice. Then sit back and watch the world wonder how you did it. One day, will look back on this, laugh nervously, and change the subject Mothers of teens know why some animals eat their young. If you think things can’t get worse it’s probably only because you lack sufficient imagination. I'm not insensitive, I just don't care. "It wasn't a dark and stormy night. It should have been, but that's weather for you. For every mad scientist who's had a convenient thunderstorm just on the night his Great Work is finished and lying on the slab, there have been dozens who've sat around aimlessly under peaceful stars while Igor clocks up the overtime." -Good Omens I have to speak my mind because what is in my mind is always more interesting than what is happening in the world outside my mind. -The Libertine There’s no way a person becomes an editor. One simply decides that one is, and sets about doing it. When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years. -Mark Twain “I would like to live in Manchester, England. The transition between Manchester and death would be unnoticeable.” -Mark Twain “Often it does seem a pity that Noah and his party did not miss the boat.” -Mark Twain “I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure.” -Clarence Darrow "Give your readers as much information as possible as soon as possible. To hell with suspense. Readers should have such complete understanding of what is going on, where and why, that they could finish the story themselves, should cockroaches eat the last few pages." - "Bad Omens"... I believe. “You have delighted us long enough.” -Jane Austen "If God did not exist, He would have to be invented." -Voltaire "Behind every successful man stands a surprised mother-in-law." -Voltaire “Oh, you hate your job? Why didn't you say so? There's a support group for that. It's called EVERYBODY, and they meet at the bar.” -Drew Carey Nothing else to ramble about at the moment!
