Hey there!! I just wanted to say that the Dragonball series is one of the best anime creations EVER!!! I changed the pic i had up there before. No, it's not a pic that i drew myself and i have no idea who did draw it. I do, however, absolutley LOVE this pic and i wanted to share it with my fellow readers. Awwww...don't Goten and Bra look so cute together? ^_^

Fanfiction allows us to create wonderful stories that reflect the series and the characters in them. I love fanfiction because it gives people a chance to write about the shows that they adore.

I started out merely as a reader of fanfiction, but later became inspired to write my own version of things. I was VERY nervous about writing something like that and posting it on the internet for everyone to read. I almost talked myself out of posting my fic but two very special people convinced me otherwise. That's right, I'm talking about you ladies!! These two encouraged me to take a chance and i finally did. AMCM74 and FayeValentine00 are the wonderful people i'm talking about. So, if you don't know who they are, go check out their fics.

There are so many more wonderful authors out there that have inspired me. I can't even begin to name them all but my favs list are full of names if you want to check it out. If you aren't sure whether or not i've read one of your fics, just check your reviews. My name is bound to pop up in there somewhere. *winks*

As for fav couples, my horizons keep expanding everyday, so i really don't have just one. I have been reading a lot about odd couples and i really like the variations people write about. It keeps me own my toes. Anywho, I guess that's enough about me right now.

Thank you to ALL that have reviewed and left comments about "Never Lose Hope". I am amazed with the number of reviews i have received on that fic and i appreciate EVERY one of them.

Okay...first of all, I am NOT dead. I know it may look that way but i can promise everyone that i am alive and kicking. I wish i could have gotten another chappy up for you guys by now but it seems my severe case of writer's block has had other plans. *sighs* I haven't forgotten about you guys or this fic. I promise you that i WILL finish this fic and as soon as i can get past my writer's block, you'll have your new chappy. Until then, my wonderfully dedicated reviewers, i bid you farewell. ~SS~
