![]() Hello! I'm Orchestra of Swans, but you can just call me Odile. I'm mostly an artist, but after three years of reading fanfiction, I've finally gotten the courage to actually post a few stories of my own. I'm more of an original fiction type of writer, as I don't always feel comfortable dealing with characters that aren't mine, but keep an eye out for some of my fanfiction. I occasionally have crippling self esteem issues (sort of...) but I really appreciate constructive criticism and reasonable suggestions towards my writing. Not that anythings posted yet... Other random stuff about me that you probably won't waste your time reading...hmm, I've played the cello for six years and I've ridden horses for nine. I love to read and paint, but I am also trying to become a better writer. I wish I could travel the world and could speak many different languages, but I'm focusing on surviving high school and making all of my AP credits so that I can get into a good university. I'm the type of person who is realistic about life and the major issues concerning life, but still hasn't managed to escape the little world my seven year old mind created. I'm a quite serious and intelligent(I hope...) person, but I also have a tendency to still believe that dragons, unicorns, and elves still exist. Not that I'm strange or anything...I'm just a bit in the middle of looking to the future and dreaming in LaLa Land. Also, I have an extreme aversion to intolerance and am neutral almost to a fault, so sorry if I'm blunt and call you out on something you've said. Also, I don't really sugar coat my opinions or my attitude, not that I'm not a really nice person or anything. I'm just generally unsympathetic towards unfairness or general whining ^.~ I mostly keep towards the more fantasy-esque fandoms, and I have a like for many books and musicals, with a few random cartoons and movies thrown in there. I really dislike all of the supernatural romance that's been clogging the YA section at my bookstore, but I haven't mustered up the courage to move onto the "older than YA section". I adore all of these, despite their tendency to be located in the children's section... My Favorites~ The Underland Chronicles Harry Potter Howl's Moving Castle Artemis Fowl Leven Thumps and the Gateway to Foo Sisters Grimm Sabriel ...and dozens of others. I'm also trying to get through Lord of the Rings, wish me luck! I also like some anime/manga, but am more inclined to American cartoons, as they were what I was raised with. Classic Disney, plus late 90's to mid 2000's shows (like Teen Titans, Danny Phantom, Invader Zim, Hey Arnold, etc.) are all amazing. Nowadays, there really aren't all that amazing shows on, except for Avatar and the occasional Adventure Time... Sooner or later I'll get something up, I promise! *shifty eyes* |
