Hiya

Okay, where to begin? You can call me Dragon-Tooth... or Michelle works too. Alrighty then. As you can tell from the above, I’m a proud Canadian - born and raised. These kind of speeches are like our second national anthem - third if you count the anthem "Canada is Really Big" by Arrogant Worms - so I found it only fitting to put it in. It’s not the original speech as many different versions of it have been produced over the years - this is my version and I’ll probably add to it if I think of more.

My personal loves include writing (duh), horseback riding (Jumper Land!), drawing (mostly anime, but other as well), chess (came in bronze in a touny once), the acoustic guitar (I’m taking lessons), and music in general (I’m a music addict! O_x)

My favorite animes/cartoon shows are Yu-Gi-Oh, Inuyasha, Invader Zim, Teen Titans, Myself;Yourself, Vampire Knight, Fullmetal Alchemist, Black Blood Brothers, and Soul Eater.

Things that ANNOY me.

Incest Pairings ~ What DON'T you people about this? It's sick. Adopted and half-siblings are here too. Don't deny it.

Yami/Hikari Pairings ~ Basically incest. Don't do it. Just don't.

INSTANT Love ~ We all like pairings. But show the road traveled to get to the end result, alright?

OOCness ~ As writers, we have an obligation to respect the canon characters. Don't change them just cause you want to.

Male-Pregnancy ~ ...WTF?!

Mary Sue or Gary Stu Pairings ~ Make an OC. Fine. I have some of my own. But, come on, bring them to life! Give them spirit! Don't let them rot!

Anonymous Reviews ~ You have something to say? Something to flame? Don't hide. Sign in and stand up for your opinions.

Good Stories That Never Get Finished ~ Makes me want to punch something...

Happily Ever After Endings ~ They're not realistic. Go for sour/sweet, okay?
