If anybody bothers reading a chapter of my story, can you please review? It really annoys me when I look at my stats. Even if somebody doesn't like my stories,I'd rather they gave me a constuctive critique than said nothing. We're all here to improve, after all.

Random Facts

I am obsessed with Taming Of The Shrew and Buffy.

I adore writing and reading.

I tend to have a thing for love/hate romances and horror stories.
I like long reviews, yet even a sentence makes me happy. (I'm so sad.)

Stories on fiction.press

Most tend to be love/hate romances. So if you like that stuff- great so do I. But if you are into gentle, tender and emotional stories and couples that hardly ever argue it is probably best to look elsewhere.

Not Quite Fame.

I just had an urge to write this. A tale about eccentric, egoistical drama students. I'd really appreciate constuctive feedback on this, especially since it's rather different to my usual stuff.

Savage Brutality.

An old fashioned twisted romance written on the spur of the moment. I'm updating this very soon. I know I've been saying that for nearly a year, but I honestly mean it. If not, my soul shall wither away in the dismal confines of hell.

Is It Ever too Late?
An attempt at doing something different to what I usually do.
The end of the first chapter might seem unexpected and sudden but that's the effect I was going for.
I hope to explain in later chapters the reason it came out like that.
This is on hold. I lost the passion I had for the story. I do intend to carry on with this but not in the near future. I am really sorry.

Bitter Blood.
In dire need of rediting. The grammar is too painful for me to read at the moment and I need to sort it out as soon as book 2 is finished for my readers. So if you haven't read it at the moment, please stay away. (I'm not taking it down as some chapters are fine, but I'm all to aware it needs fixing.)

Bitter Blood, Alarming Transformation.
This is book 2 and my characters undo a lot of changes. This book is darker and contains more action and psychological elements than the previous book. It is better to read book 1 first though in order to better understand the plot and characters.

The Way It Was.

My friends story, she doesn't have an email so I promised I'd put it up for her and try to get feedback.
See bottom of page for summary. She has told me she does not intend to carry on with this. Ever. I think it is possible she may change her mind as she has ordered me to not delete this. But as for now - it is unlikely to be expecting an update.

Consequences Of Passion.

The summary is bound to change. It's got a lot of drama and will probably be quite dark. But I am stuck for a summary as I don't want to give to much away. I'm in the process of writing chapter four as we speak.
Pick Up.
An one shot I did for english a year ago. The perfect tale for people who spend a lot of time in bars looking for dates. It has a slight twist and moral at the end - but I wouldn't say it's my best work.
Prey.
Basically, a story I wrote when I was clearly going mad. I think I am going to have a lot of fun with this one even though I've only done chapter one. It allows me to tap into my deranged side. Not that I really need an excuse.
War Fulled Puppets.
Yet another mates poem. See how popular I am? I have two mates. Woo hoo! Actually, I have more. They will probably all end up posting something soon. Not that I mind- I'm converting them to the joys of fictionpress and writing. Anyway the poem is like her( straight speaking and to the point and carries a lot of her personal beliefs.) She is desperate for more reviews and will probably add more poems and turn it into a book of poems at some point. So if you have any free time please check it out.

Fav authors/stories on fiction.press
As mentioned below- I'm a giant bookworm, but I can honestly say this site has allowed me to read some of my favourite stories.
If you like anything I write(and even if you don't) please check out my fav authors and stories link at the bottom of the page. These guys have talent.
Also, there are a lot of other stories on here I've liked and read that aren't on my list because it's starting to get a bit long and so I only picked a select few. If I've reviewed you though, I promise I will keep reading... even if it might take me a while to get to you. So please don't think I've forgotten you if I don't review as I swear I haven't and I LOVE reading but I'm just trying to find the time.

Yeah, I spelt feisty wrong as I was in a rush at the time and now can't change my name without changing my account. Hence smart ass comments whenever I am a smart ass in a chatroom. I think I have all these pratfalls happen to me because of karma. I hate karma. Don't have a clue why you wanted to know that. Still, it's informative, no?
My name on msn if you want to chat or add me is TactlessArtemis.
You starting to notice a pattern here?

If you want to contact me there feel free to do so. Or just email me and I will always be happy to chat.

About me.

When I am not writing ground breaking stories (Yeah, right!) I am either being a complete bookworm, listening to music 24/7, surfing fiction.press/ fanfiction, or annoying innocent males on faceparty(don't ask.) I also kickbox, drink lots of coffee and try to build myself a career as an actress(nothing beats the thrill of performing in a trashy, small, crowded theater,and no for once I'm actually not being sarcastic.)

I also enjoy making people laugh although I have a feeling it's at me, not with me, insulting men and reading witty banter. My friends know me as the complex one. Nobody can ever figure me out. Probably because I have many layers(What, no it's not split personality disorder, now carry on writing, don't scare the poor readers. geez) Anyway, as I was saying I have many layers. Shy, stuck up, stupid, agressive, are just a few of my wonderful qualites.

I like to think I am generally a sweet person though. Not sickly sweet- I am too volatile and sarcastic for that to ever happen, but quite nice. I don't go out of my way to be rude to people (generally) and if I do I always have a reason. They might not know what the reason is, but there is a reason. Sadly, sometimes the reason is pretty poor and when I realise that the "sweet" part of me tries to fix things.That's why I'll never flame anyones work. I'll be constuctive. On the same note I won't praise,say something is good when it isn't or add anybody to my fav author or stories list that doesn't deserve to be there. I'll be honest, but tactful. I know there are a hell of a lot of better authors than me on this site and hope to learn from them. In turn, I believe in being helpful in reviews. So if I ever say anything that might come across as biting or slightly mocking in a review (unless you have done something to piss me off and even then I won't flame good work for something petty like revenge ) it is most likely not to be taken too seriously . (I haven't said anything yet but I have offended my family and the odd mate with my unusual humour and it isn't always clear whether I am joking or not. So I thought I'd just let everyone know in advance.)
