DISCLAIMER: I own none of the characters or the plot of The Outsiders. Just the work of my own hand. Everything else is S.E. Hinton's.

Why hello there, fellow Outsiders fan. You're here to hate mail me, aren't you? Well, to all you authors who have had the honor of getting a harsh review from yours truly: Grow up and learn to deal with real criticism.

If you're not, well... wonder how you got here. Maybe you got a good review from me - if so, pat yourself on the back; that means you must've done a really good job. Or you got a bad review, but you're a mature person. If so, you can pat yourself on the back too.

By now, you may have noticed that I'm a harsh reviewer. I don't like most of the bullcrap that's on here, and I'm not afraid to tell the authors of that bullcrap either. I have brutal honesty, and you're just going to have to deal with it. I am very judgmental, and I give very severe reviews to bad stories. Even if you have a fairly good story, I can still be critical. I point out every mistake I notice in a story, whether it's acceptable or not. So if you feel offended, suck it up.

But try not to be too insulted if I bash you for bad grammar. It's my biggest pet peeve, and one of the things I cannot stand. The other things being Mary-Sues and people who can't take criticism maturely.

As for my personal life, I'm a 13 year-old girl from rural NJ. Don't mistake me for a child, though - I'm intolerant, sharp, intelligent, and more mature than the majority of people on here. I've wanted to be an author since I was three and a half. I still do. I'm a hardcore fan of The Outsiders, but I also like Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, and Reader's Digest. (I'm weird that way). In music, I'll enjoy pretty much anything, but I'm an obsessive lover of Owl City, Dev, Florence & The Machine and Bruno Mars. My favorite color is electric blue and my favorite animal is a beluga whale and oh gosh I'm becoming awfully boring aren't I? Enough of all that personal fluff.

Anyway, back to fanfiction-related stuff. My favorite authors are Calla Lilly Rose, FeistyFeist, and JB-Forever. My favorite story is "Anywhere But Here" by JB-Forever, with Calla Lilly Rose's "A Shot For Vengeance" right behind it.

I used to have a story called "Mind Tricks" on here, but I deleted it because I felt that it wasn't my best work and it felt wrong. I might edit it and put it up again sometime, though. I'm not sure. But for now, I'll just be posting some of the many rough drafts I've accumulated on here.

Thanks for visiting my profile - I'm actually kind of surprised you're still reading. Thanks for your patience then, too. Feel free to PM me.
