Yello, I'm Abby. :)

Interests (in no specific order):

# READING/WRITING (obviously) I use it as a way of winding down. As opposed to having a story already told to you on a screen, like in a film, you have to use imagination in order to get the image. And that's what I love about it; it's thought-provoking and more time-consuming.

# ANIMATION. I find the concept of writing my own cartoon comedy series some day like Seth MacFarlane or Matt Greoning awesome, even if the odds of that are incredibly slim (ha ha, cool thought anyway). But no, really; the ideas, devotion and development that goes into it all just interests me for some reason. I don't know why... :P

# ANIMALS. I like pretty much any kind of animal... whether they have fur, scales, feathers, muzzles, beaks, claws, talons - whatever! -

Anything else?

- I actually (more in person) have quite a crude, dry and sometimes just plain weird sense of humour.

- About the strange choice of pen-name and avatar, well... if you've ever seen the 'Ice Age' series, Scrat was always, hands down, my favourite animated character as a child. And still is (which is kind-of sad...), lol.

...Yep, I need to get a life. xD

Birthday: December 13th, 1996.

Films: The Breakfast Club, Heathers, Silver Linings Playbook, Easy A, Bridesmaids, Pitch Perfect, 500 Days Of Summer, 21 Jump Street, Superbad, When Harry Met Sally, Nick And Nora's Infinite Playlist, Knocked Up, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Alien, 2001: A Space Odyssey, I Am Legend, The Hunger Games, Zombieland, Watership Down, How To Train Your Dragon, Drop Dead Fred. Meh, there are too many. I mostly like comedies, sci-fi's, independent films and the occasional animation.

It purely depends on my mood. I pretty much listen to different music 24/7.

TV Shows: Freaks And Geeks, Parks And Recreation, The Mindy Project, Family Guy, American Dad, Futurama, The Simpsons, Some Girls, Gavin And Stacey, Russell Howard's Good News.

My writing/stories:

- First off: please respect me, and I'll respect you. I realise I'm not the best writer in the world, and that's why I'm here: to take criticism constructively. All I want to do is improve, therefore I would like honest opinions, without being flamed.

- I respond positively to friendly reviews/messages, so don't be afraid to talk! :)

- My characters ('OC's) shall not be Mary-Sues or Gary-Stus. I'll give them personalities that are necessary for their role and will be relevant to the story. I'm not just going to throw them in for the sake of it.

- Some of my fan fics will be canon; if I have to be honest the idea of adding too many main OCs to the point where it gets too crowded that it becomes a headache annoys me.

- Genre will depends on the story. It's good how it simply pans out sometimes.

- I respect copyrights and do not own anything. Only OCs and plots.

Random Favourite Quotes:

"It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but a great deal more to stand up to our friends."- J.K Rowling.

"Whatever happened to chivalry? Does it only exist in 80's movies? I want John Cusack holding a boombox outside my window. I wanna ride off on a lawnmower with Patrick Dempsey. I want Jake from Sixteen Candles waiting outside the church for me. I want Judd Nelson thrusting his fist into the air because he knows he got me. Just once I want my life to be like an 80's movie, preferably one with a really awesome musical number for no apparent reason. But no. No, John Hughes did not direct my life." - Olive Penderghast (Emma Stone), Easy A.

"I wasn't really a tomboy, but I wasn't a girly-girl either. I was just kind of... a kid." - Emma Stone.

“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.

"Sid's not my kid; he's not even my dog. If I had a dog, and my dogs had a kid, and that dogs' kid had a pet, that would be Sid." - Manny, Ice Age 2: The Meltdown.

Nina: "Perhaps you should embroider a red 'A' on your wardrobe, you abominable tramp."
Olive: "Perhaps you should get a wardrobe, you abominable tw*t!"

"I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it's the thing I like the most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It's probably the most important thing in a person." - Audrey Hepburn.
