![]() Author has written 3 stories for Titanic. Hello there. :) I am just a silly girl who likes to pretend that she can write. If you so wish to read anything that I have written, my stories can be found below if you scroll to the bottom of the page. However, let me warn you that the few stories I've actually published on this site are: a.) about two years old; and b.) not the best stories that you will ever read (to phrase it nicely). So read at your own risk! Haha :) Anyways, school's out for the summer so I'll try to be on here more, but I'll probably just be spending my time here reading fanfics and leaving reviews (2 things that I am actually good at). If anyone is so inclined to do a roleplay with me, I would be willing to do that as well, either via private messaging or a forum. Thank you for stopping by, even though I'm not really sure why you chose to do so (haha). Whoever you are, I hope that you have a wonderful day! XOXO, Rose P.S. Below is my "old profile" that I wrote a while ago and am too lazy to rewrite. It's super long so don't feel the need to read all of it (or any of it). Maybe it will give you some insight on me, my writing style, etc.? I don't know. New Year, New Username:) Nefelibata- (n.) lit, "cloud-walker"; one who lives in the clouds of their own imagination or dreams, or one who does not obey the conventions of society, literature, or art. Hi! :) Welcome to my profile. I’m Nefelibata Rose (“Rose” for short) {former username: Rose DeWitt Bukater Dawson}. I started out as an active non-member reviewer by the name of “Big Fan”, and then in July 2012 I made my FanFiction account. I’ve been a member of this site for about a year now and I have to say, it’s been a great experience so far. :) There are so many lovely people that I’ve met through this website, from the many individuals who made me feel welcome here while I was a non-member (I‘m forever grateful to them for their wonderful kindness) to the awesome myriad of people I’ve met through reviewing, forums, etc. I’ve had a lot of fun reviewing, writing, and, of course, making friends here. Writing is one of my favorite hobbies and I’ve been doing it for most of my life. I started out writing original fiction exclusively. Later I added poetry to the mix, and then in May 2011, I discovered fanfiction by accident. Today I write all three. :) Besides writing, I love singing, acting, reading, drawing, cooking, sailing, and watching movies. I’ve been in several plays and musicals, and as a result, I’ve turned into a theatre geek and Broadway enthusiast. As for singing, I love it beyond words, and I have been in a few different a capella groups. I also love photography, spending time with my pets, and the beach. I am an American (and I’m proud to be one) and I love my country. My favorite movie is Titanic (although I’m sure that’s obvious, given my pen name), and my second favorite movie is Catch Me If You Can. All of the other Leonardo DiCaprio movies (especially the brilliant What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?), Pixar films, Disney movies, and Ferris Bueller's Day Off are awesome too. I spend a lot of my time listening to music. I love the Beatles. In fact, about half of the songs on my iPod are Beatles songs. I like to travel, although I’ve never been out of the country before. I’d love to visit Australia someday. I am left-handed and I love being a “lefty.” I can be quite the girly girl sometimes. My favorite color is pink, and I love fashion. I have been fascinated by the R.M.S. Titanic my entire life. I love that ship so much. (In fact, the reason Titanic is my favorite movie is that it’s about the R.M.S. Titanic.) Je parle français un peu. :) My favorite time period is the early 1900s. I am a Christian and I couldn’t stop being one if I tried. So, that was a little bit about me, my hobbies and some of my favorite things. Here’s some stuff about me concerning writing, fanfiction, and that kind of thing: I am terrible at summarizing things. I always turn a summary into a retelling. I am a perfectionist, I'm sensitive, and I'm an over-achiever. This charming combination means that I do not take CC (constructive criticism) well at all. I know, I know, saying that makes me sound like such a terrible person (or, at the very least, a terrible writer). Hear me out. I know that CC helps your writing improve and such. I'm not saying that I'm above it, because I know that I'm not. My writing isn't perfect, not by a long shot. I will always have room for improvement as a writer- always. I'm not conceited when it comes to my writing. I have a very small ego, in fact. I don't think of my work as the greatest, or even just "great." In fact, sometimes I downright hate my writing. I'll look at my stories and think, "God, this is such utter crap. I can't believe I wrote this shit." I have very little self-esteem and I'm not very confident. I openly admit that I do not respond well to CC. Being the very sensitive, delicate perfectionist that I am, I find CC discouraging and it dissuades me from writing. In case you were wondering, I eventually do get over CC, but not right away. I'll be honest: sometimes it takes a while. In the past I have not responded well to CC when it has been given to me, and I kick myself all the time for that because I don't like how I'm bad at handling it. I want to be able to take CC well because I know that the reason people even give CC in the first place is because they actually care enough about me to try to help me, and I appreciate that. Really, I do appreciate that, even if I don't act like it. Giving CC really is a nice thing to do. I wish I could handle it better. I hope that someday I can respond to CC well and stop getting so discouraged from it. I hate bullying. Flaming is bullying. Therefore, I hate flaming. I believe that flaming is wrong and I believe that no one should EVER flame anyone else's story. I seem to have this inability to finish my stories. (This really bothers me.) Traffic stats really excite me because I love to see all of the different countries that my readers are from. It’s fascinating. My review policy: NEVER necessary, but ALWAYS appreciated if received! :)And now for some thank you’s. Thank You’s First, God. Without Him, I wouldn't even be here! He has given me such a blessed life, full of wonderful people and happiness. He loves me, even though I am a girl with many, many faults. He has also saved my life on numerous occasions. I am forever thankful for Him and everything He has done in my life. Second, my parents. They are the best, most supportive parents ever. I can't even explain how wonderful and loving they are in words. I don't know what I'd do without them. I love them more than words can say. Third, my little sister* (*a.k.a. bookwormer101). She was the first person I ever shared any of my fanfics with. Her feedback was always very appreciated. Her positive comments always made me feel so incredibly good and she wasn't afraid to tell me if something was cheesy, bad, or should be changed. Fourth, my amazing friend RikkiChadwick2011. She is an author on this site* (*she discontinued her account but writing “was” instead of “is” would make me too sad) and she is AMAZING- not only is she an amazing writer* (*GO READ HER STORIES RIGHT NOW, I COMMAND YOU!), but she is an amazing friend as well. Whenever I am down, she cheers me up. Whenever I had a problem, she helped fix it. :) Plus, she is that someone that I can obsess over Titanic and Mr. Andrews with! :D Also, she was my first friend here on FanFiction. :) She was the first person to ever make me feel like I was actually a part of the Titanic fandom, even though I was a non-member at the time. She made me BEYOND happy when she gave me the title of Reviewer of the Month for November 2011* (*I was the first ROTM, which added to my beyond-happiness). She made me feel honored when she asked me to be her co-writer/beta for "A White Carnation Among The Bunch." Whenever I sent her some of my fanfics via e-mail, her responses always made me feel, well, like the "king of the world", as my beloved Jack Dawson would say. All in all, I am SO glad to call her my friend (mon amie). RikkiChadwick2011, if you're reading this, I cannot thank you enough for being both an amazing person and a beyond-wonderful friend! :{D Fifth, all of the various FanFiction members who made me feel welcome here before I got my account. THANK YOU. :) Sixth, all of those who read my stories. :) You have no idea how happy you make me just by taking time out of your day to read my work- thank you! Seventh, all of those who review my stories. The fact that you decided to review my work even though you didn't have to makes me extremely happy. :) Thanks! *Also, a thank you to my lovely non-member reviewers... I can't send you a PM, but I still want to say "Thank you" to you all, so... Thank you! :)* Eighth, all of those who favorite any of my stories. Thank you so much... that makes me feel so incredibly good. Way to make me blush, people! :) Ninth, all of those who put me on their favorite authors list. What an honor! :D Tenth, all of those who put any of my stories on their story alert list. That is so kind of you- thanks a bunch! :) Eleventh, all of those who put me on their author alert list. By doing that, you make me so happy. Thanks! :) Of course, I have to put some quotes here now. I LOVE quotes. "Loving someone is setting them free, letting them go." - Kate Winslet "We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love." - Dr. Seuss "You should write to please yourself, not others, not to get famous, a real writer writes because it's a part of them, their story is an extension of themselves and they'll never be satisfied until they share it with someone even if it's only paper or pen." - (Don't Know Who) "Better to write for yourself and have no public, than write for the public and have no self." - Cyril Connolly "Ever since I was 13 or 14, I've always felt older than I actually am." - Kate Winslet "Sometimes you've got to go to the wrong place just to show that you're not afraid to go there." - Leonardo DiCaprio "Remember what's important is your level of talent, not whether that talent brings recognition." - Ewan Stewart "If life gives you lemons, throw them back and demand chocolate." - (Don't Know Who) "One of the most profound tragedies of human existence is to live at the end of a golden age - and know it." - M.K. Wren, A Gift Upon the Shore "Those who do not believe in magic will never find it." - Shel Silverstein "I am good, but not an angel. I do sin, but I am not the devil. I am just a small girl in a big world trying to find someone to love." - Marilyn Monroe "The most essential gift for a good writer is a built-in, shockproof shit detector. This is the writer's radar and all great writers have had it." - Ernest Hemingway "I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." - Marilyn Monroe "Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring." - Marilyn Monroe "I'm not the kind of person who tries to be cool or trendy, I'm definitely an individual." - Leonardo DiCaprio "Immature love says: 'I love you because I need you.' Mature love says 'I need you because I love you.'" - Eric Fromm "Looking back, I have this to regret, that too often when I loved, I did not say so." - David Grayson "Love can sometimes be magic. But magic can sometimes... just be an illusion." – Javan "If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together.. there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. but the most important thing is, even if we're apart.. I'll always be with you." - Winnie the Pooh/A.A. Milne "If there ever comes a day when we can’t be together keep me in your heart, I’ll stay there forever." - Winnie the Pooh "Promise me you’ll never forget me because if I thought you would I’d never leave." - Winnie the Pooh "I used to believe in forever, but forever is too good to be true." - Winnie the Pooh "A little consideration, a little thought for others, makes all the difference." - Winnie the Pooh "Don't underestimate the value of doing nothing, of just going along, listening to all the things you can't hear, and not bothering." - Winnie the Pooh "Those who are clever, who have a brain, never understand anything." - Winnie the Pooh "The hardest part is what to leave behind... it's time to let go!" - Winnie the Pooh "The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who cannot read them." - Mark Twain "I am not afraid of death, I just don't want to be there when it happens." - Woody Allen "Hollywood always wanted me to be pretty, but I fought for realism." - Bette Davis "I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick. I believe in pink. I believe happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and... I believe in miracles." - Audrey Hepburn "I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles." - Audrey Hepburn "I'm an introvert... I love being by myself, love being outdoors, love taking a long walk with my dogs and looking at the trees, flowers, the sky." - Audrey Hepburn "If I'm honest I have to tell you I still read fairy-tales and I like them best of all." - Audrey Hepburn "A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing." - George Bernard Shaw "All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on." - Havelock Ellis "Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact." - William James "Fans are really important for me. And if they take pains to write me, it's the minimum that I answer myself." - Daniel Radcliffe "I'm not clumsy, I'm accident-prone!" - Daniel Radcliffe "An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind." - Gandhi "Science without religion is lame; religion without science is blind." - Albert Einstein "There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; or you can live as if everything is a miracle." - Albert Einstein "A girl doesn't need anyone who doesn't need her." - Marilyn Monroe "The most effective way to do it, is to do it." - Amelia Earhart "If you are in love with two people at the same time, pick the second, because if you truly loved the first, then you wouldn't have fallen in love with the second." - Johnny Depp "All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them." - Walt Disney "Adolescence is when girls experience social pressure to put aside their authentic selves and to display only a small portion of their gifts." - Mary Pipher "As a teenager I was so insecure. I was the type of guy that never fitted in because he never dared to choose. I was convinced I had absolutely no talent at all. For nothing. And that thought took away all my ambition too." - Johnny Depp "Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does." - William James "A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five." - Groucho Marx "A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore." - Yogi Berra "If the world was perfect, it wouldn't be." - Yogi Berra "You can observe a lot by just watching." - Yogi Berra "You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I'm not hungry enough to eat six." - Yogi Berra "You should always go to other people's funerals, otherwise, they won't come to yours." - Yogi Berra "Congratulations. I knew the record would stand until it was broken." - Yogi Berra "I never said most of the things I said." - Yogi Berra "If you ask me anything I don't know, I'm not going to answer." - Yogi Berra "We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly." - Sam Keen "Have you ever wondered which hurts the most: saying something and wishing you had not, or saying nothing and wishing you had?" - Unknown "In the end, it's not going to matter how many breaths you took, but how many moments took your breath away." - Shing Xiong "Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything." - Plato "Life is one grand, sweet song, so start the music." - Ronald Reagan "Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter." - Mark Twain "Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent." - Victor Hugo You can also find me on FictionPress. My pen name on that site is "Princess Of God." :) Link: http://www.fictionpress.com/u/865247/ I’m going to wrap this up in a minute, but there is something that I want to say first. I can be selfish. I can curse like a sailor. I am shy. I can be very obsessive. I worry about things that don't matter. I am very sensitive, and I can be very delicate. I can be quite defensive. I can be overdramatic* (*I easily overreact). I'm flawed, to put it bluntly. But under that, I'm a decent, kind human being. :) Sometimes, my flaws just happen to get the best of me! Thank you for stopping by and reading my profile. :) If you’d like to contact me, feel free to send me a PM. :) God bless you and have a great day! :) Love, Rose :D |
