Author has written 3 stories for Chrono Crusade, Fruits Basket, and Misc. Anime/Manga.

Hi there! SidewaysHourglass here.

I love to write and I love to read fanfics, so a friend convinced me to set up an account here. (It's a no-brainer, right? You'd think so, but it took some time to get me to do it.) I hope I can get more than a couple of stories posted here, but I don't like to force my writing, so it'll come when it's ready if it comes at all. One of the reasons I had for experimenting with fanfiction was this annoying writer's block surrounding my own original stories that I can't seem to shake. If anyone has any suggestions for a cure for writer's block, I'd appreciate the advice. And please, please give me constructive criticism on my stories! I want to become a better writer, and the only way to do that is to find out what I can improve. Don't get me wrong, I love praise, but I'd appreciate any advice you have to give. :)

I'm a manga and anime fanatic. Some of my favorites are D. Gray-man, Fruits Basket, Fullmetal Alchemist, Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle (Let's hear a shout-out for CLAMP!), Lovely Complex, Chrono Crusade, Ouran High School Host Club, Peacemaker Kurogane, Black Cat, and +Anima. And what manga fan hasn't read Naruto and Bleach? I like those, too, but I haven't followed Naruto for a long time. Seeing as this is FanFiction, I'm sure you can expect to see some of these titles appearing in my stories.

Manga isn't all I read, though. (Gasp! Blasphemy! I know, but it's true.) Ender's Game, Ender's Shadow, the Pendragon series, The Edge Chronicles, Hawksong, Chronicles of Narnia, and Life of Pi are among my favorite novels. There are way too many more to list here, so I'll leave it at that.

I love almost any music except for rap and country (but those still have some exceptions). Some of my favorite artists are Coldplay, Lifehouse, The Fray, and Goo Goo Dolls with a little Train and Creed thrown in. I also like oldies like The Beatles. I love J-Pop! My favorite J-Pop artists are GReeeeN, Orange Range, Utada Hikaru (of course) and Kotani Kinya. The only songs I won't listen to are those with angry or demeaning messages. I'm willing to give just about everything else a try.

Don't get me started on politics. I have opinions about politics.

Let's see...how about a list of my favorite anime/manga couples? That'll be fun.

#1: Risa and Otani (Lovely Complex)

#2: Tohru and Kyo (Fruits Basket)

#3: Chrono and Rosette (Chrono Crusade)

#4: Tamaki and Haruhi (Ouran High School Host Club)

#5: Syaoran and Sakura (Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle)

Well, that's me. Nice to meet you!
