UPDATE: I am now a beta-reader and accepting requests and such, so if you want me to read over stuff, just look at my profile!

So, my name is Shay, Evangeline Shay. Kudos for those of you who get my movie reference. Shay's my middle name. Evan will do for the purpose of addressing me. Haha. Anyway, if you didn't realize, I posted my first story on here when I was sixteen. That was nearly . . . actually, it was two years ago. I'm eighteen now, headed to college, been through high school, and though I'm passionate about writing, I just couldn't find the time to fit it into my schedule.

I ended up taking down "The Perfect Ending" because that wasn't going anywhere. Who knows, I might write a sequel someday. And that's someday, not today, not tomorrow, but maybe when my life settles down a little bit. (Side-note: Psh, as if that'll ever happen). However, I have left "Dial 'M' For Murder" up, because it was my first official project, and it serves to remind me that although this is fanfic, I kinda did "make" it as a writer, and actually finished a story. Plus, some people still drop by and read it, and if someone is mid-story, I wouldn't want to delete it just like that. I hate when that happens to me.

Fun-fact about me: The profile picture? That's my baby right there, with paint on his nose! What a dork. Hahaha. Like owner, like pet.

Bee-tee-dub, I have been active in the past two years, just not writing. Mostly reading. And, if I had the time, to review. So if you've recieved a review from me, consider yourself pretty damn special, because I don't review for just anybody. Though I have changed, I can still be quirky and random. But I love who I am now - and if you don't, well, then maybe I'm not your cup of tea, and maybe we should just avoid each other. Capire?

Capire. ;)
