Author has written 2 stories for Fruits Basket.

I'm 23 yrs old, from NJ. I majored in Graphic Design. I have two jobs that suck (and neither are related to graphic design). I am currently working on my first fanfiction in SIX YEARS OMG. It's for Twilight, obviously. :P I want to get a few more chapters into it, and then I will start posting! For now, this account is still only for reading/reviews/alerts and beta-ing. ;)


Currently beta-ing:

Just Like Them by Kaz-i-mir-6 - Read it. It is awesome. :)


I Like Lists...

Fanfics I'm Reading or Have Read (because I'm bad at keeping up with my favorites list on here)
My Fanfic Pet Peeves (because sometimes I just need to whine about the bad grammar)


Just Because I Can:

My Last.fm (because maybe you're nosy and want to see what kind of music I listen to)
