To start you off, I am known online as Mistress of Macabre. That gives you a sufficient idea of what gender I am. I am Asian, though sometimes I wish my ethnic background was a little more diverse. I don't like sharing my age online, but I will tell you that I believe I am too young and too old for so many things.
A little more about me. I do not wish to change the world; just to merely survive it. I can be very vague and subtle, as well as very blunt when I want to be. I can be pessimistic, cynical, hypocritical, sarcastic, easily annoyed, paranoid, lazy, and apathetic. I can also be optimistic, naive, patient, smiley, immature, and concerned. That said, I am not bipolar (though I do have my mood swings); I just have an alter ego, though I assure you I am (almost) completely sane. I strongly believe that society has meddled in certain things that it would have been better off not touching, and that that there are some things in this world we were not meant to understand. However, we should all have open minds, since narrow-mindedness is often looked down upon, and for good reason. It is also my strong conviction everyone should read if/when they have the chance to. We're all doomed if the world should start to abandon books for the film version of the novel...
My favorite genre of fiction is fantasy. I've had enough of reality as it is. I enjoy reading more than writing, but cannot help my writer's hand from typing out senseless disaster of stories for the public to read--though, the public doesn't always read it. My writer's hand is, incidentally, often cramped with Writer's Block, so I do hope you are all patient with me whenever updates on ongoing stories are postponed months on end. And I promise you, I wish I could write something decent...or at least something. Some pieces are good, some are bad, some are just so-so. Still, I am my own worst critic. Therefore, even if you wanted to, there'd be no point in "flaming" me. In addition to that, I know I'm not the best writer in the world--or even that decent of one, hence why I share stories online instead of rushing off to some agent or editor and demanding that they read and love my writing, for it is so awesomely awesome that it must be published at once; no. So, if you wish, you may suggest some sort of improvement to the story or piece of writing in the form of constructive criticism. And please, if you plan to do so, provide me with specifics. "It was boring" or "The character interaction wasn't good" really doesn't do anything for me, and I'm much too hypo-active to actually seek you out and ask you directly, "How so?"
And with that, now you know a little bit about me--or more than you wanted to. I hope you enjoy my writing...or at least whatever meager portions of it you receive. As I go along, I'll try to post a little news about them in this section for you. On another note, thank you all for any reviews you care to send my way. It gives me joy to know that some people actually find my writing worth reading and critiquing. Again, thank you.
Adieu.

04/20/08 - Wow; I'm getting a handful of reviews on stories I just posted yesterday. It made me smile. Oh, the elation~. Thank you all for your reviews. I've made a few changes to the stories (and even author's notes) according to the feedback; hopefully they are to your liking. If not... Er, sorry? I'm slow on the uptake at times. Forgive me. (sheepish grin)
