.:OATH TO THE REVIEW REVOLOUTION:.

I, MercedesRavenAngelous, do solemnly swear to review all the fics I enjoy, regardless of the number of reviews, its age, or anything else.
I have joined the review revolution, post this in your profile and join the revolution!

.:About Me:.

It amazes me that people still read my stories that haven't been updated in over a year, and still seem to enjoy them and review. I've had more people add me as a favorite author in the last month than I have in the entire time that I've been on the site. So thank you everyone, I hope you enjoy what I have up, and when I do get back to writing, I hope you'll enjoy what I put up in the future.

I started writing my own stories as soon as I was able to read and write. They may not have been worth anything, but I wrote anyway. I continue to write when the mood hits me, and will continue to write. It's part of who I am, although its a part that has been neglected over time because of work and school.

I'm a grease monkey and I love it. I'm a tomboy and enjoy doing things that most guys like doing. Working on cars, welding, chainmaille, and carpentry are a few of the things I like to do, and I have collections of swords, blades, dragons, and skulls. The only "girly" things I actually own are the beginnings of a faerie collection, and the beginnings of an angel collection. If you don't like the way I do things, don't like something I say, get over it and move on. I'm not likely to change because of anything anyone says anyway.

My email is mrangelous@yahoo.com. Feel free to email me about whatever - just to say hi, comment, or to talk about anything. My emails go straight to my phone so responses are fairly quick.

Thank you for taking the time to read this!

.:Quotes That I Like OR Wrote:.

"...teachings that do not speak of pain have no meaning... because humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return..." Fullmetal Alchemist

"We will not be remembered by our words, but by our kind deeds. Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath." Unknown

"When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life."~ John Lennon

"There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life."~ John Lennon

"I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?" ~John Lennon

"When faced with two choices, simply toss a coin. It works not because it settles the question for you, but because in that brief moment when the coin is in air, you suddenly know what you are hoping for."

"I have tattoos, so I'm a trouble maker. I have curves, so I'm fat. If I wear makeup, I'm fake. If I say what I think, I'm a bitch. If I cry some times, I'm a drama queen. If I have guy friends, I'm a slut. If I stand up for myself, I'm mouthy. Seems like you can't do anything now a days without being labeled. So what, go ahead and label me, see if I give a crap." Facebook group

"We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love." ~Dr. Seuss

"Friendship isn't about who you've known the longest, it's who came and never left."

"There are only two things that are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and i'm not so sure about that first one." -Albert Einstein

"You never know what you want until you find it, but you never know what you have until it's gone. Life's way of keeping us always wanting something, be it from the past, or a goal for the future. Perpetual discontentment at its finest." ~ Me

"RISK more than others think is safe, CARE more than others think is wise, DREAM more than others think is practical, and EXPECT more than others think is possible."

"Isn't it ironic? We ignore the ones who adore us, adore the ones who ignore us, love the ones who hurt us, and hurt the ones that love us."

"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together." — Marilyn Monroe

"There comes a time in life when you have to let go of all the pointless drama and the people who create it and surround yourself with people who make you laugh so hard that you forget the bad and focus solely on the good. After all, life is too short to be anything but happy.”

.:The Turning:.

A party in an abandoned mansion just outside of town turns into a slaughter on All Hallows Eve. One girl gets lucky enough to continue existence, but she isn't the same afterward.

This was done for xxdarknessxfallsxx's Halloween/Samhain Vampire Contest, and is just a one shot.

It has been suggested that I take this further, however I will not be doing that at this time.

.:Story Status:.

The Turning is up. It is staying a ONE-SHOT. No further chapters will be posted at this time.

.:COMING SOON:.

I've recently started trying to work up a story, and may have at least a first chapter up here soon. Even if I don't have a full chapter, I will try to post something. I've been pushing myself lately to get my creative juices flowing again, and have some sketches up on deviantART. Some rough ideas may show up on there for critic before anything shows up here.

I shall keep you posted!
