Happy New Year!

Chukapi's Bio:Newish to fanficion.net, but not new to fan fictions! I've been writing them since I was...well, maybe about 10, so that's now over 6 years, and I believe that overtime I have improved greatly and have finally mustered the courage to post my own on this site for reviews and comments on how I can improve. That is my main purpose. I want to be a writer that captures the reader in a story easy to relate to (fan fictions) and, as well as their own imagination, can picture the characters and settings for themselves; with the character's appearance already known to you, you can spend more time enjoying the new adventure, rather than perhaps having to try too hard to cook up an image. But most of all, I hope they are entertaining!

A little (or a feck lot) about myself:

Hey! I'm not known largely around Fan Fiction, but I'm hoping one day my stories will bring enjoyment to many people who read stories across Fan Ficion.net. My alias for a lot of sites is Chukapi as of late, and so I suppose it's a fitting name to refer to me as for the time being. I'm an average girl living in an inevitable world of depression yet I somehow manage to escape it through the magic of writing. It's true, I truly enjoy writing and I do it (despite how selfish it may sound) for my own enjoyment and pleasure, yet that doesn't stop me from sharing it with others who crave a bit of good ol' Fan Fiction. Creative writing is a course in life I'm considering of taking and I still don't know whether it's the right one. Thus, I have joined Fan Fiction to recieve some true feedback from experience readers/writers. They may be lacking now, but I would dearly love to know if I any potential as a writer.

So, onto some stuff other than writing. Um, let's see...I'm one of those girls who enjoys games, animes, manga, that sort of stuff. Being homeschooled for three years prior to now (I was in primary school, though and am now attending a school with plenty of lovely friends made) I was pretty much left with the only option of entertaining myself with little contact to the outside world. I had friends, of course, but very little around the area I live and thus...well, it would seem inevitable for any person like that to become involved in a gaming life. Yes, I'm truly addicted to games and most especially the Zelda and Final Fantasy series. (I'm a big Nintendo girl, although I don't hesitate to play computer games and online RPG's from time to time.) There's little to say on the two as anyone who shares these interests would certainly know the reason for it.

Another large thing I have grown accustomed to preoccupying myself with is anime. I found such animes as Full Metal Alchemist, Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Hentai those sorts of things (and out of those I dislike them all except Full Metal Alchemist). That still to this day gives me nostalgia of my younger days and is really awesome. That's the only way I can put it that would have most meaning. It was Card Captor Sakura after that and then I took a break. Then it started being an obsession in terms of reference. (If that makes sense at all.) I would use FMA stuff all over forums, user names, MSN and the like. It was, I'm sure, a stage every huge anime fan has to go through to simply be a huge anime fan. I don't call myself that much of an obsessive fan anymore, but most certainly I do love anime as much of today's cartoons on T.V are just rank (that excluding the Simpsons and Futurama of which both I love). On the end of this I will just add I am a big person for old cartoons like Tin Tin and all its comics. 'Nuff said.

My life has so much variety I have noticed upon writing this that I am astounded. xP Especially due to the fact I have been isolated for so long. I love art. It's just a big a part of my life as writing is and yet I fail at it. xD I'm more of the graphical type in terms of art, what with Photoshop and all that. I find that less enjoyable than sketch art and stuff, but I find myself more talented in it. Oh! How could I forget music! Everyone loves music, and even though for me it may not play a big a part as some people's lives, I sincerely love music. I have many favourites in terms of bands and the like, but as of late I've found myself listening to a lot of Japanese music and anime music as well as movie/game soundtracks, everyone loves a good bit of Final Fantasy X piano collection (Resident Evil's soundtrack is amazing). Obviously I'm an oldskool music girl for stuff like Blink 182, The Offspring, Apocalyptica, DragonForce, that sort of thing but again I mention right now it's Ayumi Hamasaki, Nana Kitade and Koda Kumi which are enthralling me. Enough has been discussed on those topics.

Now I think I need to bring this to a close and if you have read all that I am astounded and congratulate yet thank you. I dislike how people think of writers as old geysers (Tidus, ha!) with big thick lensed glasses and a hollow inside. They are much more than that. They have lives, interests, beliefs and envy you just the same as you may think "wow, writers are amazing! They are always so famous and everyone knows them!" yet I am not like that and even though it may be a nice feeling, I want to stay as a person sociable with my readers. Sometimes writers even feel held back and even by their writing! I know, I have experienced it in many, many ways of which to tell is for another time. Never think that a review you place on my story goes by unnoticed, because it doesn't, and I appreciate them all.

Thanks! I bid you farewell!
