Well, it appears you have begun to read my Profile.

Good for you.

To be frank, you're probably one of the first.

I know, from experience, many people skip over the often long winded or overly copy-and-pasted profiles, to which until recently, my own tragically fell into the same category as. However, upon realising that my profile was so out of date, I planned to rectify it immediately, considering the last update was when I was in my early, early teens.

So here you are.

Still reading?

Right then.

My name... is unimportant. If you read my profile before I changed it all, you will know, but for the rest of you, there's not a chance in hell. I believe many people on here are perfectly respectable and respective individuals, but due to my previous lack of understanding of how easy it is to gain information via the internet and recent shock at how open I previously was, I have, with great haste and silent fury at my past actions, taken it down. It's a pretty name, one not native (spelling-wise) to my Country, and the bane of my existence. Never have I come across an individual who has not spelt my name wrong. To all those of exotic or more complicated names than 'Bob', 'Mark', 'Beth' etc. I feel your pain.

My age, once again, is unimportant. It's safe to say I'm older that ten, and younger than thirty. That gives you a rough guide. I am not, however, the average of the two, nor the medium. I also hold a great deal of irritation to those who would scorn me or mock me for my age and love of both writing and Fanfiction Perusal, so therefore, you are not getting my number of Autumns.

My gender, I will give. I am female, and even if you don't know me, it is fairly obvious to anybody looking. I am, in due course (thanks to my Grandmother) a Feminist, and frankly, can find anything, if I study hard enough, to be derogatory or limiting to female influence. I can appreciate gender jokes to a certain degree, though, but do not appreciate any of the 'B*ches love (insert here)' or 'Make me a Sandwich' jokes or puns etc. It is demeaning. I will, however, admit to being a slight hypocrite when preaching equality, as I do find many of the more demeaning jokes about men more than a bit funny. I do apologise to anybody reading this who happens to disagree, but it's just... some of those things on Facebook are hilarious.

Where I live? At present, England. Previously, England. I say this loosely as I have lived practically everywhere within the country of Our Queen. At this, I am not exaggerating. Well, maybe a little bit. But I have moved house nineteen times in my limited life span, and once even lived on the Isle of Man - admittedly when I was a very, very, very young (we're talking Months, here), but, I digress. I was born in Warrington, however, I have only returned there since for a single shopping trip I was dragged by the ear on.

I previously put up a few stories, in my younger years. I thought it was a brilliant idea, and would get people flocking to me for more. Now, I look back in disgust at my reasoning, and my previous writing is horrendous. As consequence, I have taken them down. I did, once, have someone message me, when I asked for guidance, who's Brother, or friends' brother, or brother's friend told her that you should never delete any work, as you could improve it and see how you've improved between the two times.

I have taken this to heart.

Therefore, I apologise to anybody who liked, or watched my stories (not that they were very good in the first place). I have taken them down, but have not deleted them. They sit, along with many, many, many other story idea's, or character profiles, or prologues at the back of my laptop's memory, festering and taking up valuable space. I intend to, eventually, take them up again, re-read, improve, and continue with each of the stories. This, however, will take a long time to happen.

At the moment, I simply do not have the time. I have revision, and work to do (that should hint at my age somewhat) all the time, and constantly being on the computer is visibly affecting me. I have become addicted to the computer, so much so, that I take it with me everywhere around the house, only leaving it when going to the toilet (on occasion not even then) and upon leaving through the front door.

So, I intend to knuckle down, and really think through with my stories from now on. I will try, as best as possible, to include as much of a realistic sense to my stories as possible, and improve at a large rate, though, the latter may prove difficult due to timing.

My reasoning for writing Fanfiction, is because of one simple thing.

My life is boring. It's safe, and nice, but boring. And it's not going to get any better.

This is it.

There are no amazing Shinobi, no wielding the force, buccaneering, casting spells, exploring new worlds, wielding godly powers or recovering from the apocalypse in this life, and probably won't be in the next (if there is one). So, I use it as an escape from the boring and rather harsh realities of life. Being a perfectionist with OCD, it will also help temper down my constant need to have it perfect, and I can have my own experiences in the many worlds to which I wish I belonged.

So, I do it for my imagination.

One day, I might even write my own book, and sell it to the world.

Who know's, huh?

Are you still reading?

I congratulate you.

You know, my biggest fear is not being remembered. I know I'm, discounting my awful hormonal problems, a perfectly ordinary female, with little chance to make a mark on the world and the motivational drive of a Gnat, but I hope I'm not forgotten.

I hope at least a part of me will be remembered, not that I plan on dying any time soon.

Either way, I thank you for reading.
