Names- Pigpen, You, Kid, Stupid, Buddy

Age- way too easy to guess from the stuff I wrote below to bother writing it again

Likes- people who understand more than half of what I'm talking about, boys who don't view girls as 'items' rather than people, teachers who know their subjects, AP classes, math, reading, writing, arguing, winning, ranting, talking, eating, cooking, family, camp, travel, books, movies, the history and discovery channels, old cartoons, and stuffed bunnies

Dislikes- idiots who don't bother to fix that problems, people who are right and I know it but still don't want to agree with, health projects, small children, locks that turn backwards, window-less schools, schools without working AC and heating, lockers, homework, schools without windows, annoying people, teachers that talk so you can hear them through the slidey-walls, gym class, walls with no real windows on them, classrooms with air-vents that lead from the boys' locker room, giant metal doors that shut on your fingers, and the school board. (before you freak out, my school is not a juvinile detention facility by any stretch of the imagination. People may set things on fire and lock each other in cages, but technically it's just a normal public school)

I read mostly science ficition and fantasy, the former odd for a girl of my age. I find Eragon and sequels far too predictable and Harry Potter too monotonous. (Just kill him already). Lord of the Rings is too slow, Dune too unrealistic (honestly, 'change' the poison?) and stories about talking animals just stupid (although thinking animals are alright). The series that starts with Among the Hidden I felt like I had an obligation to read since I know the author, but no obligation to like as it has the worst ending book I have ever read. Her other stuff is brilliant, though. Ferinheit 451, which I read last year, was almost alright, but is far too slow. I am currently trying to get through Beowulf, and if you have an attention span as short as mine don't even try it. Anyways, I find the concept of book-burning idiotic. A few books that I actually love are The Golden Compass, The Hobbit, Artemis Fowl, Green Rider, The Convicts, Avi (author, not book, I know), Redwall, and Cry of the Icemark. All have original plots and non-steriotypical characters. There are more to add to that list, but I am having serious issues remembering the titles of them.

I post my work here for practice. While I want to engineer commercial space shuttles for a living, my passion is writing. I want to be published (on paper) before I gradiate high school. Any and all feedback is welcome.

I stumbled upon this site when my friend introduced me to fanfiction. I have written there, but my own work is much more fun. Also, there is only so much you can do with characters that already exist.

If you like what you see, great. If you hate it, even better. I really need someone to criticize me because the worst I've ever really gotten from someone is "That's not a semicolon" or "themselves isn't a word" (which it is, to me...) or "It looks like you stole it from Lord of the Rings," which just about any author who writes about elves and dwarves really does.

So... that's all about me. Now it's all about fictional characters, which are much more fun than real people anyway.
