Greetings!

Welcome to my all new and improved profile. Hopefully it will be a tad bit more interesting than the last...

TOWN COUTAUX

"A day without sunshine is like, you know, night." - Steve Martin

The name printed above is indeed a name. Not the name of an area or a French municipality, but the name (or rather, pen name) of yours truly. I expect you already know this... though I felt a paragraph of text beneath would look rather nice. And... as this beginning paragraph may gain some attention, I'd like to state here that I love to review. If I read a story, there is little doubt that I'd fail to post a lengthily chatter of mindless (but hopefully constructive!) comments. If you have anything you'd like to have reviewed, and it happens to fall into one of the fandoms I am familiar with, send me a PM and I'll get on it gladly! I've listed some of the fandoms I know below, but never hesitate to ask!

Oh, and Are You Looking For a Good Mary-Sue Test?

Try, this website, it's one of my personal favourites...

These Are a Few of My Favourite Things

I am a dedicated fan of Kuroshitsuji, multiplied to the ninth power. Along with that, I enjoy watching animes such as Ouran High School Host Club and the not-so-anime-but-still-quite-dandy Avatar; The Last Airbender. Other than anime? Fanfiction-wise, you may catch me doing fics on Starkid, Harry Potter, and other amazing things.

What is your favourite anime? Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler. Period.

Who are your favourite anime characters? Let me see... In no particular order: Alois Trancy (from Kuroshitsuji). And... I think that's it for the favourites, cheerio!

All right then... what are some other anime characters you are fond of? Grell Sutcliff (Kuroshitsuji), Kaoru Hitachiin (Ouran High School Host Club), Drossel Keinz (From Kuroshitsuji... I'll admit he's quite unsettling, but I have a strange fascination with him and the other dolls...), and Ciel Phantomhive (From Kuroshitsuji, I think he deserves to be on the list).

Moving on, in which genres do you think you will be writing the most? In my experience, and this may be because I haven't met many people who understand fanfiction, I am quite terrible with humour. I may try a fluffy piece for fun sometime, but by all means do not expect it to fully satisfy your humour needs. I enjoy writing dramatic pieces, usually with a touch of romance and an element of mystery.

Finally, what is the thing you like most in the world? Wait for it: reviews. As I suspect every author knows, there is no better feeling than having someone read your work and confirm what they liked and disliked. It's quite a thrill, really, very enjoyable. So if you happen to stumble upon one of my pieces that you liked, disliked, or hated with a fiery passion, please leave a comment, it's all worthwhile on my path to becoming an adequate author. I enjoy praise, constructive criticism, and even flames (flameo!). So post away!

This is a little something I thought I'd try; I hope it isn't too irritating...

1. Your real name: Town (using my pen name, of course)

2. Your Nobody name (Take all the letters of your first name, mix them around and put an "x" where you think it should go): Xownt (best I could come up with)

3. Your Gangster name (Fav ice cream flavour, favourite cookie): Mint Snickerdoodle (yo!)

4. Your Detective name (fav colour and fav animal): Mint Turtle (how unorthodox... not)

5. Your Soap Opera name (your middle name and the street you live on): Adele Pulley

6. Your Star Wars name (first three letters of your last name, first two letters of your first): Couto

7. Your Super Hero name (2nd fav colour, fav drink): Crimson Cordial (alliteration!)

15. Anime name: (First 3 letters of favourite sound, last letter of 2nd favourite sound, "ie" or "y" or "ia"): Chodia (darn, reminds me of that awful Claude...)

Fun Facts, Anyone?

The Beatles first tour to America took place in 1964.

All right, perhaps not that type of fun fact. More specifically, then, 'fun facts about me'!

1. I love classic rock. The Beatles, Pink Floyd, the Who, and Elton John are just a few of my favourite bands/artists.

2. I'm a dancer, as well as a prospective writer. I take ballet, modern, jazz, contemporary, and a bunch of other stuff.

3. My favourite colour is mint green (if you couldn't discern that from the above section).

4. I am a dog person (sorry, Sebby, I'm allergic to cats)...

5. I like to eat lots of good food. Like chicken salad.

Ah, you can tell my inspiration is running short, can't you? Ah, well, I suppose I can just cut this off for now until a fresh wave of muse graces me.

Cheerio!

Yours ever,

Town
