UPDATED 4/10/08: NEW DEVELOPMENT -- Yes, I did take down "Vampire's Daughter," but before any of you who like it get too distraught, this is because frankly it is not as good as it could--and should--be, and I intend to, in the not-so-distant future, write A.) the much needed precursor to it which currently exists only in my own head, and B.) a significantly improved version of "Vampire's Daughter."(hopefully with a better title) As I am now 20 rather than 14, I don't think it will be so difficult a feat...

Bonjour, tout le monde! Well, whoever's actually bothering to read this, anyway.

Anyways, about me:

Name: Erin (not giving you my last name. It's a paranoia thing. If you know me, you'll figure it out anyway.)

Age: 20

Sex: I wish. Er, I mean, female.

Location: Maryland, USA

Transportation: Ophelia: '90 Pontiac Grande Prix LE. Still roars like a lion, but is now totally fixed and lavender-hued. Bow down to Ophelia.

Sidekick(s): my 17-year-old brother, Mark; an evil - but cute - Australian shepherd named Cleo; an English mastiff/lab mix named Grif

Bragging rights: black belt; honor student (in high school); president of the French Club (in high school); partial scholarship to the fabulous Goucher College; fluent speaker of bad French, and working toward speaking bad Arabic; level 2 Reiki practitioner; I can French manicure my own nails, and I'm an incredible cook.

Claims to shame: never been asked out; never been kissed; probably never will be. (This hasn't changed...)

Biting my nails (mentally, anyway) over: My English 212 class: post-Renaissance literature is really just lost on me. Yes, I am an old soul.

In 10 years, I would like: a happy career teaching high school literature, a well-used passport, a big enough house to, er, house my family, a loving husband and 2-3 cute kids, and to still be friends with all the people I know and love now.

Fic Missions: rewrite the shit out of "Bad Boys," attempting some semblance of canon-correctness (not inclusive of books Six and Seven); finish (or start, in some cases) the Supernatural fics in me little brain; finish - and promptly plan the rewrite of - "Story of A Girl", possibly with a title slightly less... lame. Actually, finishing all my multi-chapters would be nice...

Some of my all-time fictional heroes:

~Indiana Jones of "Indiana Jones"

~Lara Croft of "Tomb Raider" (she kicks ass)

~Faye Valentine of "Cowboy Bebop" (I wanna grow up to be just like Faye-Faye...with more clothes on, though)

~Spike Spiegel of "Cowboy Bebop" (well, he's not really my hero...but he's purdy)

~Link of "The Legend of Zelda" (come on, he has a horse, a sword, and a bow and arrows!)

~Midna of "The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess" (That is one seriously kickass shadow-critter/gal)

~Remus Lupin of "Harry Potter" (there's something about werewolves. Especially very sweet ones who hand out chocolatey goodness. Yummy all around, neh?)

~Sirius Black of "Harry Potter"(he has that 'bad-boy' thing goin' on...drool)

~Raziel of "Soul Reaver" (he's a vampire. 'Nuff said)

~Kain of the "Legacy of Kain" series (Is it just me, or does become more likable with each passing game? And he, according to my mother, has a nice ass)

~Kurama of "Yu Yu Hakusho" (he's a fox demon. And he's foxy...)

~Ashitaka of "Princess Mononoke" (he's gentle and soft-spoken, but still kicks ass)

~Bill the Pony of "Lord of the Rings" (ponies are my friends)

~Lestat of "The Vampire Chronicles" (Whatta badass... A hot, bisexual Frenchman. He makes out with his mom, but that can be forgiven.)

~Dori the fish of "Finding Nemo" (Don't ask)

~The brothers Winchester of "Supernatural" (snarky, badass, and utterly lickable. Yeah baby.)

~Mulan of "Mulan" (I love that girl...)
