I can't promise to those who take time out of their lives to read my writings that I will update regularly, past experience has proven that I can post up to five chapters a day if the mood strikes me, but it has also shown that I can go a year without so much as texting my closest friends. I'm iffy to say the least.

First things second! I am not an English major, nor even an English minor. I DID manage to pass and Ace (most of) my English classes in high school and the... five? six? courses I took in college. HAVE NO EXPECTATIONS FOR FLAWLESSNESS!!! I doubt I will proof-read, I highly doubt I'll have anyone proof-read for me, but undoubtably I WILL make mistakes, LOTS of them.

Some suggestions for you from me on how to handle this.

1. DO criticize. Harshly if it’s your forte. I don't upset easily. I can't see you. You can't see me. I'm not going to punch the keyboard if you tell me my writing stinks and I should go back to grammar school.

2. DO correct. If I so much as type its instead of it's or youre instead of you're. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me. Obviously I don't care enough about perfection to go through everything I post with a fine-toothed comb before posting, but I respect your needs as readers enough to fix something if it bothers you. This goes for:

- Grammatical errors

- Historical/Canonical (?) errors

- Factual errors

I like to do research, I’m weird. If it’s a fanfic for a movie, I watch the movie as I write. If it’s a book I read it. I Google and wiki-search for characters and timelines. But I do make mistakes.

3. DO debate. It is crazy how much I enjoy a good debate. If I add something original to a story, say a theory on time-traveling, and you think, "Now that's just a bunch of bull-honkey! Banana peels have no effect... (effect? affect? * I don't know.) on intraparticulary comblogerations causing a wormhole to appear in the exact spot Mary Suesenson would have landed. No, the potassium mucus would prevent any galactic sphincters from appearing. Everyone knows that, Gosh!" Tell me and we'll work it out =)

4. DONT tell me to use or not rely on spell-check. It's basically my bible. Yes, it’s made me incredibly lazy, but I just don't care. Of course if you choose to ignore this rule, what's the worse I can do? Oh yeah, ignore you.

5. DO Encourage. If I don't think anyone is reading, I'll stop writing. I don't care about ratings, or reviews, or being "pop-U-lar." I'm just not going to waste time on something not being read. I can move on to new projects.

Next up on the agenda, I think I'm funny. I may not be, please feel free to * slap me and say, "You're not funny! Shut up!"

I cuss. A lot. Mostly in my head but I type as I think so... yeah. If it is a problem let me know and I'll take the *s out. UNLESS it is specified that there is crude/rude/rated-R language. Then it’s your own dang fault and I'm not taking it out.

SO... Q&A Time.

Who are you?

I am penname AWomanDriver, I tried to be TheGirlWhoDreams but I was shot down. I chose this understudy because my ex-future brother-in-law in kind of sexist and very much a * who likes to point out how much I am flawed BECAUSE I am a woman. Just yesterday my argument that a man dressed in a cotton dog suit with "fur" gloves covering his hands was most likely NOT rotating around a stripper pole unassisted, was KO'd with the explanation. "You're wrong because you are a woman and have a woman brain so you think with 'Women's logic.'" -_- I was not amused. Rant explaining of course how the subject has been on my mind and the penname wasn't taken so I took it.

Seriously, who are you?

Okay, my real name is Cassie. Named after no one and nothing.

No, but who ARE you?

Oh... I'm a Libra, if you're into that. I am a twenty-one year old Junior who has put college on hiatus because she couldn't get a part time job, stay in school, and pay her rent. I was a Psychology major, thinking about switching to English or some kind of Art. Had no minor, was thinking of making it Psychology since I had already committed to two and a half years of Psych courses. I am currently living with my grandmother in the middle of the country next to a highway. Lots of pretty things to get inspired by. Lots of cars driving by at all hours of the night.

I like long walks on the beach, but I don’t like swimming in the ocean… or lakes, or ponds. I love to read. Some of my favorite books are History of Love, Blue is for Nightmares, Lolita, Spellfall, The Things They Carried, Harry Potter, Green Rider, Lord of The Rings, The Firm, All My Friends are Dead, and A Clockwork Orange. I’ve played the flute for 9 years. I “read” manga and graphic novels. Some of the ones I’ve “read” are Fruits Basket, Ouran High School Host Club, Crazy Love, V for Vendetta, Joker’s Asylum. I watch anime, such as: Witchblade, Inuyasha, Blood , Vampire Knight. My ex-boyfriend introduced me to the intriguing world of Dragon Ball Z. I watch television. My favorite shows are Big Bang Theory, The Mentalist, Psych, The Office, House, The Walking Dead, Futurama, Daria, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Movies: Pride and Prejudice (The one with Colin Firth), Sense and Sensibility (Alan Rickman and Hugh Laurie? Yes Please) Joe Verses the Volcano, Jaws, Sabrina, The Breakfast Club, The Fifth Element) Music? I’ll listen to everything but David Bowie is one of my favorites.

What do you write about?

I’ve only attempted FanFiction once before and that was a Labyrinth Jareth/Sarah thing that I was really passionate about but life sort of interrupted and the flame was smothered. I got really close to the end but you could tell I wasn’t feeling it anymore and it just puttered out. Very unsatisfying ending and I feel super bad about leaving good readers hanging like that. If you would like to read it you can. It’s a long-ish one called Fate’s Intervention. I’ll add a link later I suppose. If I can be convinced I would seriously love to revisit my long lost love, work out the kinks, and you know actually conclude it.

Do you read FanFiction?

That’s how I got started. The first Fic I ever read was a Harry Potter, Hermione/Severus called um.. Cloak of Courage or something like that. Super BUENO. And I was hooked. I read mostly Harry Potter and Labyrinth but I’ve read a few others… I think… hm… Anyways Yes I like Hermione/Severus even though if I let myself seriously think about it I get a major migraine because it just can’t, it’s just… you can’t have… and… yeah… *sigh*If it’s not Hermione/Severus, then it is Severus/OC. I haven’t read any Hermione/Ron ones because well… I don’t really… like… Ron… at all… Everyone has flaws and of course I love that Rowling didn’t make Hermione perfect and she can be a * and really annoying and sort of “Oh hey I forgot you were there for a second” at times. But is there ANYTHING good about Ron? He’s funny… sometimes? If you like him, HELP ME! Help me see the Ginger-light that is Ron! I even like PERCY!

So with all that… Hi! Enjoy! Recommend! Read! Review!
