Why hello thar! My name's (she who runs with scissors), annnnd I'm obsessed with Legend of Zelda (which is and always will be my love and my heart). I also quite love Portal, Dragon Age, any other video game (*cough*Skyrim, certain shooter games, etc), and Final Fantasy X.

Every Zelda game is absolutely, without-a-doubt, utterly genius. They always have been and the always will be. There. I said it.

Also Assassin's Creed eventually stops being boring. Feathers.

ANYWAY, CARRY ON.

Favorite games annd the pairings I like C: (or at least games I write FanFics about): [in no particular order]

Final Fantasy X (Most of these will be Auron pairings. Aurikku is sweet, but when it's taken seriously it freaks me out. He's 35, guys. She's 15. On most stories, I'll stick with canon in FFX--Lulu and Wakka, Yuna and Tidus, etc. I enjoy any Auron-OC pairing done right, though.)

Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (MidnaLink. Definitely. I could go on a huge rant and give you all the reasons why those two would be great together, but I doubt I'd have enough space. After Midlink comes IliaXLink and then Zelink, at least in TP. In Ocarina of Time, however, Zelda and Link are an absolutely adorable couple)

Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (WHY, LINK AND HIS LOFTWING, OF COURSE! (Nah, he and Zelda are incredible in that one. They're practically canon.))

Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time (Nayru above, Link X everyone. Nabooru, Sheik, Zelda, Malon, Saria...Impa...Ganondorf...JK JK not Impa.)

Dragon Age: Origins (Alistair was always my favorite, especially after the end of the game. But I really do love all of them in Origins. Sten included.)

Portal (Why, the Space Core x Wheatley, of course! They ARE stuck in space together, after all.)

(No pairings for Pokemon, anyway. I'm only really into the games, not the anime or the manga...though I'm STARTING to get into it...eh...)

On that note, do enjoy yourself, reader dearest C:

STORIES

Carpe Diem-The retelling of Final Fantasy X, but this time with the newbie. An upbeat, die-hard blitzball player who happens to meet a summoners party in Luca, and happens to fall for the wrong person. *AuronxOC*

Ah, finished! I am rather proud of this one, if only because I saw it through to the end, and I think it turned out rather well...ish... So thank you so much to my reviewers and readers who stuck with it, and I hope to see you all around!

Long Way to Go-Things have a funny way of settling down. Especially where Ara is involved--but perhaps that's her fault. She did take the sovereign, anyway. In retrospect, she probably shouldn't have--but then she never would have met any of them.

This is my I'mma-improve-if-it-kills-me story. I'll be experimenting and diving deeper into character development, multilayered and emotional characters, growth, life itself, and relationships and complexities they face. We're starting out with a little of a dramatic scenario, just to get a feel for making people believable but not schizophrenic/bipolar, which I've been known to do in my quest for reality. XD

Anyway, it IS a Sten-romance and, though Alistair remains my favorite, I have to say that I like Sten. Maybe it's because he reminds me of a giant [teddy] bear that steals cookies from children. He's just...fun to write about. Fun to try and pin down, really--probably because he picks flowers and likes cookies and trains the dog. He's actually rounded, which is a rare thing in video games with characters of his stature/temperament.

Mature rating, woooo!

Shoot for the Moon-All she ever wanted was a fire-type, kick-butt Pokemon to carry on what her family's been doing for years: fire-type trainers. And what happens? Well, of course, not many people get what they really want, but something is better than nothing...and maybe even a fire type...eventually.

Started it not long ago, need suggestions and anything else you feel like giving. I tend to overthink things, so right now I'm obsessing over whether or not I completely messed up the story by making the relationship between my two main characters go too fast. Sooner or later, if I think about it long enough, I might even end up rewriting the chapter. SOMEONE SAVE ME! D8 (Heheheh...drama much?)

(This one, sadly, is discontinued UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY. So dun worry, as it's very possible that I will start back up on it soon. But for now, I just don't like it much ;)

The 34th Hunger Games-Possibly discontinued. We'll see. I get ideas, go for them, and then accidentally publish them before I'm sure they'll work. So that's a problem if they stop working...

[Bunch of songfics and oneshots: you know the drill with those]

The Hour of Twilight-Now THIS one is interesting. It's been awhile since anyone has reviewed, but that's only because I haven't updated in years.

I like the writing, yes. It's the story that I can't stand. As I said, I wrote this a long time ago in a galaxy far far away--so it's really sad, methinks, that I still like the writing. Oh well.
But I've learned and pursued a ton since then, story-and-character-development-wise. You writers (and readers as well) out there probably know how hard it is to change the course of an already gearing-up-to-be-1-dimensional story so that it becomes 4-D. Hard. Yeah.

Because of that, The Hour of Twilight is discontinued. For now.

I haven't failed; I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work. -Thomas Edison

A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions and the compassion to listen to the needs of others. He doesn't set out to be a leader, but becomes one by the quality of his actions and the integrity of his intent. In the end, leaders are much like eagles... they do not flock; you find them one at a time.

Never knock on Death's door. Ring the doorbell and run away. He hates that.

I understand that Scissors can beat Paper, and I get how Rock can beat Scissors, but there's no way Paper can beat Rock. Is Paper supposed to "magically wrap around" Rock leaving it immobile? If so, why can't paper do this to scissors? Why can't paper do this to people? Why aren't sheets of college ruled notebook paper constantly suffocating students as they attempt to take notes in class? I'll tell you why, because paper CAN'T BEAT ANYTHING. D8

Pokemon Soul Silver/Heart Gold has taught me that random strangers can come up to me and challenge me to a battle, ask for my phone number (which I am supposed to GIVE them), and then call me at a very vital time in my life to tell me what they just did--i.e. picking berries. If you don't think that little children should be taught that they can give out their phone numbers to strangers, copy and paste this to your profile. (XD)
