Update: February 2019: I sincerely apologize that I have not been active in quite a few years. I have returned and have a new account under JHsgf82, but I am writing fics for a different show and pairing. I still love Inuyasha and anime and may write for that again someday, but I just lost touch with it over the years. I rejoined the fanfiction world about 3 1/2 years ago. I missed it so much! I can't say that I will ever finish these stories, but I do apologize for leaving them unfinished, and I want to thank the dear readers who have read, reviewed, favorited or followed. If you have any questions or would like to contact me, you can PM me at JHsgf82, since I don't log into this one much. Thanks and my best to all of you!

Hi, I'm Mandy! Welcome, and thank you for taking the time to glance at this page. :)

Note from the author: 5/22/07 As some may have noticed, it has been a very long time since my last update. To those of you who care, I offer my sincerest apologies. Life has kept me busy, and I'm afraid I have not made my writing a top priority. I do intend to start up again very soon. I will be attending graduate school in August, so I am not sure how much I will be able to write in the next two years, but I will do my best to crank out some work before I head off!

Useless Info:

I recently completed a bachelor's degree in psychology, and I will be working toward my master's degree in experimental psychology in the fall. My top area of interest is health psychology, which explores the relationship between the psychological and the physical. Psychology is my passion, but so is writing. I intend to pursue a career in psychology but also hope to dedicate spare time to writing. It is my ambition to publish short fiction and novels, as well as psychological articles and books. That being said, fanfiction is excellent practice for me, in addition to being a whole lot of fun! So, reviews are very important to me! I want to continue to improve and please my readers! Hope to hear from you! My favorite genres to write are: general fiction, fantasy, action/adventure, with a little comedy and romance tossed in. I have/intend to/enjoy writing fanfic particularly about: Inuyasha, Final Fantasy, Ranma, Escaflowne, Xena, Star Wars, Phantom of the Opera, Scarlet Pimpernel, Gilmore Girls.

Fave "Weird" Pairings:
Sango/Inuyasha (I think these two are similar in certain ways, and I find it interesting to explore potential feelings that could arise. I am not necessarily speaking of an actual 'relationship' I could not really see them "together," and I am a die-hard MirSan fan! But it's intriguing to toy around with...)
Sango/Naraku (NOT them as a couple, but an unrequited deal with Naraku being obsessed with Sango. She can be so under-appreciated sometimes!)

As a final note, I just wanted all of you who have been reading my stories to know that I am extremely grateful. It's so nice to receive feedback, if only to know that people are looking at your work. Critiques and suggestions are also exceedingly helpful, so I implore you to do this often! I wish to improve and continue to provide entertainment!

For those of you who have enjoyed my work: I am SO, SO happy! I really appreciate you letting me know, and I will do my best not to let you down!

Best Wishes,
