Hi, I'm Geode7 and this is my profile (Obviously).

I’m an Australian of Lebanese & Croatian descent & currently in my 20s. I’m a bit of gaming snob but I will confess that I mostly like children’s games & movies, because when I want to be entertained, it will not be to some heartbreak or becoming paranoid to the extreme (I still can’t look at mirrors at night). I now have strayed into using my iPad as a gaming console most of the time now and usually ending up getting role-playing games (Like Final Fantasy & Dragon Quest) & platformers (Like Sonic the Hedgehog, Tomb Raider & Monster Hunter). However I do have other interests like chess & soccer & I’m currently studying Geophysics & Geology at university. I also like making puns that are original and on the spot or else I don’t believe they’re actually funny.

I also believe the universe is run by 4 different laws. The Laws of Physics, The Exception to Every Rule, The Laws of Moderation/Balance, and the Laws of Hilarity (Murphy's Law and Irony).

My Favourite Mangas include:

I like to read stories, generally those that are written well, with no spelling nor grammatical errors (so I don't subconsciously correct them), plots and characters that are well developed, and most importantly, like in most books, allow me to immerse myself within a story. Essentially, to me, a good story is one that has some meat in it (1k), have a well-balanced blending of different genres (Like Comedy, Angst, Romance, etc) and come off as engaging.

However there are things in Fanfiction that I do not like, for a multitude of reasons:

Harem Fics:

Yeah, everyman’s best dream. But that’s what it is though, a dream. It is:

1. Demeaning towards women
2. Unrealistic
3. It’s also a little bit self-embellishing, isn’t it?

Spelling ‘defiantly’ instead of ‘definitely’:

Please understand that they have TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT MEANINGS!!!!

Bridal Style:

Sigh* This one gets on my nerves for two entirely different reasons. One is that whenever I read it, all I can think off is 'Gangnam Style' being replaced by 'Bridal Style'. The other is that it is a cheap and disconnecting method to describe a person carrying someone. Really? How about "He swept her off her feet, cradling her in his arms" or some crap.

Don't like don't read:

This puts me off straight away because the only people that write this are generally really defensive and don’t like any reviews other than “Yay, great fic!”

Embellishing Reviews:

These annoy me to an absurd degree. Fanfiction allows us as readers to give these authors constructive and helpful advice but instead all they get “Yay, great fic!” Why is it a great fic for them? Well, we’ll never know will we?

Flaming Reviews:

Same reasoning but because they merely come out as idiotic and completely unhelpful.

Stories With Polls In Them Throughout The Entire Story: Fanfiction allows us to write stories from our imagination and put it on the net for everyone to see. So why is it that you have a story up that is essentially what other people think.

Slash Fiction: Homosexuals are humans that have a slightly different chemical makeup in their brains that make them oriented towards their same gender in a sexual manner. That's it. Nothing else. THey are just as normal as the rest of us heterosexuals. Actually, funny story is that I didn’t even notice that one of my mother’s friends was homosexual even though they were two women living under the same house and that they were merely ‘really good friends’. I even asked if her partner was living in the other room. It was the day later that my mother had to explain to me that they were actually homosexual. So, really it shouldn’t be a problem but generally these stories often come out being badly written.

Katanas are the Ultimate Sword: NO! There is a plethora of many types of various swords spread throughout the world, but no, the ultimate sword and armour is in Japan. I can assure you, it is not.

Character Bashing: Remember how I said that I liked reading stories with well-developed plot and characters? Well this is the antithesis of that.

Bad Summaries: How can a brief paragraph describing what your story is be so hard?

Overpowered Characters: Like character bashing except there is not conflict to allow their characters to develop.

Angsty, Torture, Rape Fics, Dark Characters: There was this one story in the Digimon section that epitomises this that I just can’t find. However most of the time you can find it in the Harry Potter and Naruto section. Remember how I said I like stories that blend different genres together competently? Well this is why I don’t like these.

Mary Sue, Gary Sue: Antithesis of well-developed characters.

Incest: WHY???!!!
