Author has written 59 stories for Humor, Life, Supernatural, Love, Fable, Religion, Politics, Sci-Fi, General, Essay, Friendship, War, Song, Family, Haiku, and School. I am 19, female, a bit off the deep end and currently embroiled in the wonders and dear-god-what-is-that-thing terrors of college life. My policy: you review my work, and I’ll review yours... sometimes it takes me a while to get to it, though, so be patient. I’ll get there... eventually...I have amazing forgetfulness skills to be proud of. I’m a friend to constructive criticism, so be brutal as long as it's not shameless flaming. I’m a friend to shameless flaming, too (it makes me laugh), so feel free to do that as well (although it might not get you a responding review, because, seriously... you flamed me). A fair amount of my work is not based off anything I have experienced myself, so let me know if it doesn't ring true. Other than that, feel free to e-mail me if you want. Unless you're a stalker. If you are, go away. I’m busy with college work and have no time to deal with the restraint orders. That’s about it. And so, I shall leave you now. Have a lovely day, my fellow humans! (all non-humans and free-floating entities, included, as well. no offense meant, obviously) UPDATE as of 03/22/07 : I have two poems, six fictions and one short story in the works, but I honestly don't think I will be posting anything for a couple of months yet. At least, not until summer rolls around. | |||||||||
