Hi there!

This is Luce here, you’ve reached my profile!

Let’s have some fun together, shall we?

Now, onto the good stuff;

I’m a high school graduate — and currently still studying! I’m not giving away my exact age except to say that according to one of the many definitions for it, I’m a teenager. (Though some may also call me a Young Adult, it depends really)

I’m an aspiring writer and utterly in love with all the crazy things writing fanfics allows us to do. There’s no better creativity exercise out there than to sit down and stretch a character or setting you’re familiar with as far as they can go.

I like reading, and I’m not really picky about it. Although, you are more likely to find me reading Fantasy or Science Fiction books rather than a Biography; but apart from that Gen, Het, Slash — I’ll give them all a fair go. (Some days I can’t stand mushy romantic stories, but other days I really need something to wash away the gory and gritty action-packed stories I like — especially if they have a somewhat tragic ending, can’t really stand ‘bad’ endings even when they are masterfully done.)

Also, you can probably tell English isn't my first language; Spanish is, and really — Portuguese comes easier than anything else (my very first nanny was Brazilian, and she was awesome — she also gave me an ice-cream addiction). Fanfiction is a great way to exercise my use of English, otherwise I’d forget pretty much all I learnt in school.

Currently, I’m intrigued by the idea of Self-inserts’ in so much as what a writer can do by bringing a new character into an already existing equation. How would the characters you know and love react to an Original Character (it can be the writer themselves, or an actual OC) that is suddenly thrust upon their narrative and knows much more than they are saying? (Would the OC spill the beans as soon as they recognize where they are? Do they actually know what story they’ve entered? Did they enter of their own volition? Is there a way for them to return to the Real World? How did they travel between worlds?)

Personally, I like to use the SI concept to try and be more comfortable with creating my own OCs. It’s difficult to create a Character from the ground up, and even harder still to give them a definite growth throughout the narrative. (I try, but sometimes it’d difficult to tell if they’ve stayed flat and two-dimensional, or if there’s been at least some kind of evolution/progress in them.)

My favorite topic of all time? Time travel. (The first thing I ever saw on this topic was Back to the Future and I was 6 years old or thereabouts; then there was Groundhog Day. I’ve watched both of them countless of times since.) It doesn’t have to be a Do-Over, or even a Time Lapse kind of story. Anything that has something to do with Time Travel — I like. And if it isn’t that, Foretelling is also one of my favorites (Seer’s in particular, are awesome).

Cheers!!
