Author has written 5 stories for One Piece.

Eesk what am I meant to put here, okay lets start with the basics. Most importantly I feel a warning is in order

THE GIRL WHO IS WRITING THIS PROFILE (aka moi) IS INSANE !!

Right, well with that over -cough- ...

NAME: Bethan or Beth but no it is not short for Bethany !!

NICKNAMES: Well I suppose Beth is a nickname really but in the world of the wide wide web i am Swami, pleased to meet ya :D

FROM: Wales, UK (not Wales, England its an independent country people!!)

EDUCATION: I'm currently in collage studying English, Drama, History and Chemistry and I'm hoping to do Drama and Classical Literature or Philosiphy at University.

LANGUAGES: Up to a certain age I was bi-lingual Welsh and English, then I went to an English speaking school and my English is MUCH better than my welsh. But I still speak welsh, I think its a beautiful language.

Bethan ydw i, dwi'n 18 oed a dwin'n byw yng Ngheardydd a prif ddinas o Cumru. Dwi'n dusgu Cymraig yn y ysgool a dwi'n saraid gyda fy Mamgu yn cymraig ond dwi ddim yn rhigol ...eto!

Also I can 'speak' in BSL (British Sign Language) but since those languages are not't going to get me very far around the world lol I'm also learning Italian and i know a little French (emphasis on the little). Also I'd love to learn Japanese one day.

One thing I probably should say is that I am dyslexic (a learning disability that makes it really hard for me to spell) while I try really hard to proof read things and correct stuff I don't realise that they are spelt wrong in the first place so if there are mistakes in this or any reviews I give you or anything I write I do apologise and I am trying.

FANDOMS: I first found this site for One Piece fan fiction but lately I've stated looking at other fandoms as well and finding some really good stuff. But my literary and other media loves are as follows

One Piece- I LOVE it i mean I'm obsessed. I love everything about it and love drawing fan-art for it and I hope to write a few story's for it. The One Piece fanfiction section on this site is brilliant !!

Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy I don't actually know if there is a HHGTTG section to this site (I'll have to go exploring) but anyone who knows the books or radio series then that is my sense of humor to a tee (ummmmm tea) and I've loved it since I was five years old.

CSI Possibly the greatest thing on Telly, I don't watch much TV really, I'm much more of a film or book and computer person. But CSI is such a great series and it is through CSI that I first got into reading fanfiction and discovering slah fiction. I adore the Nick/Greg pairing and reading that opened the door to the wonderful world that is Fanfiction.

I like lots of other stuff but those three are OBSESSIONS of mine and have changed my life the most (lordy that sounds dramatic) and One Piece and CSI are my main fiction fandoms (I don't read HHGTTG fiction - don't even know if it exists). But I'm always open to reading and finding new things.

ME: I have a tendency of being um well, for want of a better word rather stupid. I'm a mad and worrying person who should be locked up my men in little white suits (I swear they follow me around wherever I go)

I'm a quote MANIAC! The only plus point of dyslexia is my memory, pretty much if I've heard it, seen it or read it I can remember it. So this means I can quote like mad. My friends have learnt to just nod and smile when something they say reminds me of a quote and I just start reciting the whole thing, I should really stop doing that.

Some of my favorite quotes/saying are :

'When life throws you lemons make zesty lemon slushy' The Net

'You'll find that life is still worth while if you just smile' Smile

'Picked by the Persa, but I thought you were in a life boat?' 'Well we was, but it was strapped to the deck on the Queen Mary' Jules and Sandy,Round the Horn

'Then I thought I was a lemon for a little while, I kept myself amused by jumping in and out of a giant gin and tonic' Ford Prefect, HHGTTG

'What can I say I'm a sponge I absorb information' -'Isn't that my line'- 'Yeah and I absorbed it' Greg Sanders and Grissom, CSI

'Ought we get drunk every night?' 'Yes I think we ought' Charles Ryder and Sebastien Flyte, Brideshead Revisited.

'Larry dear the rooms on fire' ' Well I don't see why I should have to freeze to death' Lawrence Durrel and Mother, My Family and other Animals

'DISTINCTLY MINTY' Prince George, Blackadder III

'Smile it confuses people' Anon

'Why hellloooooo Mr Tumnus' Me looking into my friends wardrobe one day XD

The thing most often said about me = 'You worry me'

The most important things to me are my friends and family. I love meeting and chatting to new people and I love exploring new places and new cultures and I've recently discovered that I love reviewing peoples fanfics. Odd I know but I love it XD And receiving reviews makes me happy like uberly happy.

And finally (as I realise I've just typed LOADS sorry about that but this was fun) my life philosophy :-

Have fun! Reach for the stars, dream of the impossible, have ambition but remember that at the end of the day if your not happy it cannot be worth it. You only have one lifetime so don't waste it in an eternity of 'what ifs' and 'I don't knows'. Dazzle people with your smile and they'll smile back and when they do you'll find what life is really all about!
