Plagiarism issues:

I am sure many of you have at least heard of the writers on this site who have been affected by plagiarisers. Although it has been going on for quite some time, as of recent more and more writers are either choosing to remove their stories or leave the site altogether. They shouldn't have to do this.

Here is a link to an online petition for a fictionpress that disables the use of cut/copy and pasting text: http://www.petitiononline.com/stopfp/petition.html

It would be great if you could sign it, show the writers out there that you are aware of the problem and would like to counter it. And hopefully fictionpress will comply or at least take measures to significantly reduce the amount of plagiarism that's been going on.

Hey everyone! You see, I have a good imagination, sometimes it even surprises me. But when it comes to putting it on paper, I am hopeless. I am more the logic type, literature just really isn't my thing. But I do read and know a good piece when I see one.

I love reviews! What's more, the best review is a review with concrit (constructive criticism)! So. Get typing! Oh and be honest, please. I don't want something sugar coated and you don't have to soften the blow. I want the concrit. Be brutal. But don't flame if you can help it.

Important Note to All: When I do review your story, I mean every single thing in there. Also, if I do review, please don't feel like you owe me or something and go on R&R my story. You don't owe me. I read your fics because I want to. :D I hope you read mine for the same reason(s). =D

You might also notice that I use '!' a lot. But I've gotten better. I'm using them less and less where they're not needed. Yay!

My Fics:

Compliments (complete)- Whenever you meet someone for the first time, they always say “You’re a beautiful girl.” They say it as if it’s an everyday thing, so they reduce the meaning behind those words. They don’t mean it. They don’t even care - Oneshot. Sweet but no romance.

Eyes of a Different Nature (removed)- Removed for now, will be modified and possibly posted again.

Father (complete)- I thought I'd try something different and put myself into someone else's shoes, after I saw her on TV talking about her father.

Lemon Lip Balm (complete)-First day back from the Winter holidays and when I should have been worrying
about the workload and new PC teacher, all I could think of was how to avoid people noticing my shiny lips. PG-13 just to be safe and slightly descriptive kissing.

Nostalgic Love- discontinued and removed. It will not be put back. Refer to above.

The Past Impends (complete- may change in the future)- Everyone has a past. Some pasts are just better left that way- closed up, never to be opened again. But what happens when itlooms uponyou? Rachel dreads hers but unfortunately with the odds being stacked against her, it shows up uncalled-for

Regretted Confessions (complete)- Do you ever regret something as soon as it leaves your mouth? Then wish that you could go back in time and put a sock in it? But by then, it's already too late for Lara.

Yoga Is Bliss (complete)- Yoga lessons can turn out to be more relaxing and fun than you think. Just take it from Abby.

I am hoping to soon have a couple more fics up on here. Some fics are going through a heavy edit, some are being considered for removal.

Drop me a PM if you like. I'd be more than happy to read and reply!

A note about the weather: I remembered once again why I'm not fond of summer- a couple weeks into the season and I'm already pink in the face. No, I'm not flushed.
