![]() Author has written 3 stories for Song of the Lioness. URGENT: PETITION AGAINST THE CATEGORY CHANGES IN THE TAMORA PIERCE SECTION Please sign this petition here (all the details are on the petition page) If you sign the petition, you don't have to include more than an intial of your last name (I couldn't get the site to remove that field) but PLEASE leave a comment - this will add a lot to our "angry mob-ness" - remember to be polite though (even if you want to rant as much as I do!) Thanks! Update: I've sent the petition in (on the 10th of September) and received one reply from FFnet but I am still waiting for a response to my latest email. Please continue to sign it to show your support and thank you for all your signatures! As of January 7th 2010 we're at 300 signatures!! This is just a mind-blowing number, I never imagined we would ever be able to gather so much support (50 was my original target and I thought 100 was pushing it). Thank you so much to everyone again, your support is greatly appreciated! This - The Beetle - will be abandoned soon (as soon as I finally get around to finishing Deceit and Betrayal or post the rest of the plot) and this account will become my primary one. Name: Jess Age: 16 Absolute, favourite thing: Horses About the avatar: Yep, I made it! This account is my main account now as I feel like moving on from my older works but don't have the heart to delete them. The fandoms that I plan to write for in the near future are Tamora Pierce, Torchwood and Doctor Who, plus others if the inspiration hits me! My pen name isn't at all original, but I like it - my main fandom being Tamora Pierce's books (Tortallan) and me attempting to rebel against the stereotypical plot bunnies and my past writing (Renegade). Fandoms/Thoughts (pairings in italics are my top favourites) Twilight At the moment, I've turned into an example of an anti-Twilighter (blame it on the 4th book...and the narrowly aborted 5th...) but I will still stalk the fandom if I find a good!fic. I could go into a rant right now about stereotypical beauty (see next fandom) and stereotyping - oh, the tempation! - but I wont. Instead, I'll say that this series has been quite competent at unwinding a lot of the good work that Harry Potter has done, and leave it at that. (And, in case you're wondering, I've never been a Potter fan either, so this isn't me taking a stab at a fandom!war) Pairings: I run with the normal pairings - EXCEPT Renesmee/Jacob, I'm a Blackwater supporter or Jacob/OC (usually another werewolf) The Host I like this more than Twilight because it is an improvement. The characters are still a little two dimensional, but they have much more personality and I find that the plot is a lot more engaging, even though the prose is still very rambling. I also don't like the fact that Wanderer gets put into Petals Open to the Moon's body as her new form fits into the popular stereotype of beauty very nicely. Though there was a reason behind it with gaining trust and sympathy from the others, it completely voids everything that Ian says about him not caring about what she looks like and undermines the value that has been placed on Mel, a strong female, and Wanderer's struggle to survive. Pairings: Wanderer/Ian Tamora Pierce I left for a while, but now I'm back - I think it has something to do with Bloodhound, though I haven't actually read the whole book yet. Favourite TP series: The Immortals. Least favourite: Circle of Magic Pairings Daine/Numair, Alanna/George (I'm not a big A/Jon fan, at all.), Onua/Sarge, Raoul/Buri, Beka/Rosto, Aly/Nawat, Kel/Dom (but I'm not into the stereotypical romance stories anymore - please, no more 'New Hope' fics, I'm even guilty of writing one of those myself) Doctor Who Probably my favourite fandom at the moment, but I hate checking the archives and seeing only one or two stories that DONT involve Rose. Yep, I used to like her, I used to be a big 10/Rose fan too...but now I'm not. Now I'm a lot less mainstream. Fav Doctor: 10/David Tennant (but minus every companion he's had...apart from Jack, Jack's okay!) Pairings: 10/Simm!Master, 10/Romana, 10/Jack, 10/OC (but only if it's well written), the very occasional 10/Rose, 4/Romana. Torchwood SPOILERS I actually didn't mind Children of the Earth too much. I'd prefer it if Ianto lived and Jack didn't have to kill his grandson, and if there was more action instead of 'political goings-on'. The fact that the aliens were using children as drugs made laugh at first and then think "oh, that's a bad thing..." and the only reason that I didn't feel sad at the end was because I figured that it left room for some awesome fan fics! I'm currently re-watching Series One as it airs on ABC2, haven't seen much of Series Two, and have watched all of Series Three because I decided to become a youtube pirate. Pairings: Gwen/Jack (but only during the first series, after that I find that Gwen gets a bit annoying), Gwen/Jack/Ianto, Ianto/Jack Artemis Fowl I lurk around this fandom occasionally - once in a purple polka dotted moon now - because A/H makes me cry in frustration and try to tear my eyes out with my fingernails. I used to be an avid Holly/Trouble shipper, but I'm not now - though it is my most preferable ship. I don't really ship in this fandom anymore because The Time Paradox just killed my 7 year obsession (yeah, seven years is a long time) Fav character: FOALY! (before TTP and TLC of course, he was much more awesome in the first three - maybe four - books) Pairings: Vinyaya/Root... Maximum Ride Yeah, I've read all the books - forgotten most of them though - and I still like them, but the first three were the best. Pairings: Max/Ari (don't get all zonked out, this was before I found out they were related), a little bit of Fang/Max (but I don't really like it because it is too stereotypical/in line with Twilight) Stargate SG-1 My newest/oldest love and obsession - I saw the pilot when I was 11-ish and couldn't stop watching it until I had no money left to buy the box sets (I got up to season 6) and just recently picked it back up when I was about to throw the old sets out (I was also meant to be studying for exams) I'm now up to season 10 and still lovin' it even though the whole team dynamic changed - and I dearly miss General Hammond, not even Jack can replace him. My fav episode would have to be anyone in which either Sam, Daniel or Jack are whumped and sent to see Ol' Doc Fraiser. Pairings: Sam/Jack (it has slowly become my OTP after I started reading the FFs, geeze guys!), Sam + or - Jolinar/Martouf + Lantash (is still my OT3/OT4 because I say so!), Janet/Daniel, Vala/Daniel Sanctuary This is just awesome! Sometimes it can get a bit weird - I mean a giant vampire squid in a turfwar with a giant scorpion - but I still love it (and the writers should have done a bit more Will!whumping/drowning in that episode). I think it's the actors and the characters that really makes this show for me and I like that (I also like the random guest appearances by Stargate actors/writers and directors - I mean Dan Shea/Siler was in the first ep, then Major Davis, and Michael Shanks/Daniel, and Amanda Tapping/Sam is mostly always in it) Pairings: Helen/Will, Henry/Will (when the Wolf is involved), Henry/Ashley, Henry/Kate, Helen/Tesla...well, Tesla/everyone (he's just magnetic!) Fav characters of all time: (Sanctuary): Helen Magnus Will Zimmerman Henry Foss Ashley Bigfoot Nikola Tesla (making history awesome and drunk!) (Stargate SG-1): ...um, everyone but the NID guys - minus Maybourne of course Sam Carter Jack O'Neill Oh, and Danny-boy and T of course... Napole- Janet Fraiser Cam Mitchell General Hammond (rubs head) of Texas! Martouf/Lantash Siler and his wrench WALTER! (Stargate Atlantis): John Sheppard Elizabeth Weir Rodney McKay (and his Lantean whale friend) (Artemis Fowl): Foaly Holly Short (Tamora Pierce stuff): Daine George Cooper Beka Cooper Alanna DOM Cloud and Spots Numair Rosto (Doctor Who/Torchwood): Captain Jack Harkness The Doctor The Master IANTO! Martha Jones K-9 Arthur (the horse on the spaceship from The Girl in the Fireplace) (Harry Potter): Remus Lupin Quotes: (some humorous, some completely serious) "Don't give up. Don't ever give up." Former North Carolina State basketball coach Jim Valvano, March 4, 1993, accepting an ESPY Award shortly before he died of cancer. "You can't handle the truth." "People who live in glass houses should take out insurance." "The best time to relax is when you don't have time to relax." "You can never get rid of a bad temper by losing it." "Remember the saddest thing in life is wasted talent." "Remember, no one can make you feel inferior without your consent." Eleanor Roosevelt My Stories: Trickster's Loss: More of a "What If" of Trickster's Choice than an AU. Every character that was in TC will be in TL (especially one particular crow) but there will be a few more bad guys (and girls) thrown in for the fun of it. The Dove: Just a little experimental oneshot that explores Rosto the Piper's mysterious past. Based on some stuff out of Bloodhound! Caught Out: ONESHOT, because I wanted some K/D fluff but couldn't bring myself to writing a long fic. In the Works: (No thieving or I'll get the King of the Rogue on you...George and Rosto) x2 AU/What If versions of the Immortals. I don't want to give away too much but the first idea involves Daine missing Onua in Cria and the second idea has Sarra sticking around for longer than she did in the books. x1 My version of Mastiff - Involves a lot of Rosto and a bit of canon-bending (It has been said that Rosto seems to have noble blood in him/a better-than-common upbringing and his mother is apparently a player. That got me thinking about who his father in Scanra might have been and...well, if you can follow my train of thought, you'll see why he might go along with Beka to get a Tortallan Prince back) x1 "What If" Set in the Terrier series after Bloodhound. I don't want to give this one away either but I can say that...Beka gets a mission from Goodwin that involves her acting skills again...and the Rogue... x1 Song of the Lioness "What If" in which she and Coram are attacked by bandits while the latter is drunk and Alanna is taken as a slave x1 After Lady Knight thing that starts a few weeks after the end of the book and I can guarantee that it wont be anything like all the other "New Hope" fics because it doesn't even involve New Hope...but it does involve Dom...a lot x1 Series of oneshots about tents, I'm going to call it Tenting (VERY original) and its going to be mostly humour and romance x1 Series of oneshots entitiled DOMestic Useful Links and Advertising: Words of TP (there are all sorts of facts here that I never knew and it's all from Tamora Pierce herself!) Goldenlake (a brilliant Tamora Pierce fan site with great people and heaps of competitions and fan fiction challenges!) Beka and the Rogue (a forum on FFnet that is dedicated to Beka/Rosto - another place with very friendly people) All Things DOM (my favourite forum of all time! Look here for brilliant people, random discussions and DOM love) The Men of Tortall (another place with brilliant people - the same brilliant people in fact - and it's dedicated to all the men-folk) Hey!
