My real name is Amanda or Manda (never Mandy)

I am 30 now and have been reading fan fiction since Y2K was a thing. I wrote my own in high school and always intended to finish "We Could Have" but it's been so long now that it probably wouldn't be read anyway. Also, I re-read it and realize that it reads as though written by a teenager (which it was). A college grad/ elementary school teacher now, I have also starting writing Fanfiction again after a long hiatus from it. We'll see how that goes. I still browse Charmed fanfiction now and again but mostly read Once Upon a Time fiction now. Every once in a while, I get a wild hair and read others. :)

Quotes that rock

Once Upon A Time

"Maybe I don't need answers. Maybe I just need to punch you in the face." Emma Swan (to Gold)

“People are gonna tell you who you are your whole life. You just gotta punch back and say, ‘No, this is who I am’. You want people to look at you differently? Make them! You want to change things, you're gonna have to go out there and change them yourself, because there are no fairy godmothers in this world.” Emma Swan

“I’m a fan of every part of you.” Killian Jones

"If you're afraid of losing your happy ending, that means you found it. What is it?" Emma Swan "Don't you know, Emma? It's you." Killian Jones

“Sure you don't have other reasons for pushing me toward Neal?”:Emma Swan
