Hi there friendly friends! I'm Nel, (or Raven-Nel, the pen name Nel is already taken ^-^). It's not my real name, and it doesn't even come close to my real name.. (wonder how and where I got that pen name though...). I'm 19 yrs old and still attending University. I'm not really a die hard anime addict, there are just some anime i really like, here's my list so you'll get an idea what type of stories I like ^-^

1. Yuyu Hakusho (Ghostfighter) - FAVORITE ANIME OF ALL TIME
2. Rurouni Kenshin - probably the best anime there is!
3. Gundam Wing
4. Gensomaden Saiyuki
5. Hana Yori Dango
6. Inuyasha
7. Get Backers
8. Yaiba - Old school huh? LOLS.
9. Magic Knight Rayearth
10. X 1999- though i just know the plot, never really got to read it but really interesting

err.. yeah, and *cough*Sailor Moon*cough*

I was still a naive little girl back then and was just in grade school! I swear!! ROFL!

I've been reading fanfictions for over 2 (or is it 3?) years now, and a las! I've decided to write my own fics! I just don't know if i'll find them interesting read like my favorite authors.. hee hee... I'm currently addicted to Rurouni Kenshin. It reflects the Japanese culture that I really love (apart from my own, I'm Filipino-Chinese). I love Japanese culture and history (except their masochism and anti-feminist practices), and am planning to study the language intensively in April. I already took Japanese in my foreign laguage class but forgot what I learned the minute the semester ended. LOL. Am also planning to Minor in Japanese Studies next year.. :)

Am currently working on 2 Rurouni Kenshin ficst. Not really my first time to make fiction, but it IS my first time in making a FANFIC. lols. Here's a brief summary of the fics I'll be uploading soon

Darkened Skies
Pairings: Kenshin/Kaoru
As Kenshin atones for the sins he has committed in the ways he know how, something precious seems to slip from his grasp. While he brings the answers to his atonements into fruition, the binds that keep his heart in place and give him strength seem to loosen in the process.

Untitled
Pairings: Battousai/Kaoru, slight Aoshi/Misao, Megumi/Sano
Setting: AU, semi-feudal, semi-modern era
Samurais were given slaves as part of the rewards for their services by the Shoguns, but Battousai, the aloof no. 1 hitokiri of the shogun, would not have a slave for his reward. However, when a boyish and bokken weilding prisoner from another town was left to his room one night as a joke, he had no choice and finds himself at the mercy of the raven-haired girl and leaves him indebted to her.
