"What sort of people live about here?"

Name: Laura Laurent. Laura, which is pronounced Lor-uh. Not La-rah. Notice the "au" as in "aura." And "Laurent"' because I'm a Bright Eyes nerd.

Age: 666. OH GOSH I'M HILARIOUS.

Gender: Female. Yaaaay for monthly cycles.

Gimme presents: May 24

"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.

Stuff: I love to write, although I don't normally have much time. I get inspired by music mostly, along with the writing of others. I write best when I've read a story that I really liked. I'm not really sure why that is. Maybe I'm crazy. WHO KNOWS. I also, as you might have noticed, use caps a LOT. I use them when I want to emphasize something, and because they make me happy. I don't use them in my stories, though. So, if you're irritated by them, well, basically you suck. I'M AN ARTIST I DO WHAT I WANT. Okay, well, that's over.

Music: I like pretty much any music I can get my hands on. My favorites are dance and emo; I like some classic rock, too. That does not mean that every band I like falls under the "dance and emo" category. That also does not mean that I consider myself an emo kid or a raver or something. NO JUST NO. Haha. Me as a raver. That'd be funny considering I can't dance. At all. I suck at DDR. I EVEN SUCK AT FFR AND THAT DOESN'T EVEN REQUIRE DANCING.

Arg. I'm pathetic.

"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."

Okay, now we get into the good stuff! On this account, I'm prol'ly going to end up writing mostly Witch Hunter Robin fics. I've started another crazy phase. My current loves are JTHM and WHR. A rather interesting combo, no?

Anyway, I have several random JTHM stories somewhere on my hard-drive. The problem is I'm much too lazy to fix them up, and honestly, I have no desire to share them. (AKA: my fiction = t3h sux0rz lyk hxc.) So I've been working on my WHR fiction instead. (Also mostly t3h sux0rz! Yay.) I've got two Amon/Robin and a Doujima/Sakaki somewhere. Not to mention about fifteen random drabbles. NO ORGANIZATIONAL SKILLS WHATSOEVER! Hooray. I'll probably end up posting them at some point. Or, at least, I'll post the ones that aren't retina-burningly bad.

Here's a list of the stories I've posted, along with their current status:

Prison (posted: 9/4/05; updated: 9/4/05): HIATUS. Michael/Sakaki. Oh yes. You read it right. However, you won't be able to read it much longer. I'm going to be taking it down for renovations, but I will be reposting it again. (Sounds like a threat.) My brain seems to be unable to function with that story; every time I go to work on it, I end up writing another, different story. Or laughing at it. So, that's what is happening there.

Grey (posted: 9/7/05): COMPLETE. Implied Amon/Robin. One-shot. Takes place during the collapse of the Factory, a vague concept of what might have happened afterwards. I don't have much to say about it.

Different (posted: 4/16/06): COMPLETE. No evident pairing. (Hints at Michael/Robin, or, if you really, really pushed it: Michael/Sakaki, but definitely more Michael/Robin.) I was attempting to work on Prison, got this instead. Very odd, disjointed, repetitive little one-shot. Short, too. I like it enough, though I find that it doesn't convey what I was trying to say as well as I would like. Oh well.

-NEW- Rookie (posted: 5/2/06, updated: 5/14/06): IN PROGRESS. No pairings. I AM SO GLAD TO GET THIS POSTED. It was another story born from failed work on Prison. It's the story of Haruto Sakaki (my favorite character); contains my explanations of the unknown parts of his life. It's a nearly complete biography on Haruto, from birth up to his arrival at the STN-J, but I do skip small parts of his life. (I go from Infant!Haruto to TwoYearOld!Haruto and leave out the time in-between because it has little relevance in the story.) Other than that it's complete. It's also taking up my time right now, and therefore, taking time away from Prison.

Chapter 3 will be up soon. I'm trying to smooth some rough edges in it.

Here's a little warning for you: I adore slash. I really do. It's my one of my favorites. Therefore, I tend to write a lot of it. I also read a lot of it. Don't get me wrong, I love non-slash pairs as well. I mean, I wept tears of joy when I got my hands on the credit-less opening of WHR. I'm being dead serious. I CRIED BIG FAT EMO TEARS. I love Amon/Robin. However, I also love Michael/Sakaki slash fics. I don't really care about your beliefs on the subject. If you like it, that's great; if you don't, that's great too. Don't give me your "OMFGWTF!111! EW. WHATZ WRONG W/ U?//!1!WTF!11 TEH GAY!111."

I'm not going to harass you for flaming me, I don't really care. Flame all you want, but you aren't going to change the way that I write. My personal opinion is that if you don't like the way the story is going, just stop reading it. And if you are going to give me your opinion, at least use good spelling. (Honestly, I love people who give me their opinions about my stories. Our ideas may conflict, but sometimes they say things that are pretty helpful.)

The lesson here, children, is: don't preach to me. But feel free to give constructive criticism.

Despite the fact that I do enjoy slash, I'll read just about any pairing you throw at me. I find non-canons interesting, mostly because I like to see other people's reasoning behind them. But I don't really hate any parings anyway. I mean, I can't say I like incestuous pairings, but I don't hate them.

HOLY COW I SHOULD WRITE AN AMON/NAGIRA FIC!

Gosh, I'm such a cool kid.

Away, my mammalian flying friends! TIME TO SOAR OFF INTO THE VELVET NIGHT!

LAURA!
