Hello all and Welcome!

This is called Sparky's profile, so you can just know me by that name. I am 17 if it's of any importance, and female. I like rifles, tanks, and spending the day reading an entire novel.

I'm from the country Down Under, identified to most as Australia, where the flies are swished at lazily and people eat the national emblem grilled on the barbeque. The latter does not include koalas. More specifically, I'm located on the little island at the bottom of the mainland, Tasmania, where if you don't like the weather, wait 10 minutes and it'll change. Just yesterday involved a hot, muggy morning with thunder clouds, lunch was rainy, hailing and windy, finally clearing to a cooler but sunny afternoon. Woot for that...

To be informative For Someone Judging The Knowledge Behind My Reviews: I shall say this:

I adore reading the works of others, and equally enjoy critiquing (constructively). Also, I'll do proof-reads for anyone who'd would like :)

I write extensively for myself, and school when I can. Predominantly short stories and poems, there's sometimes something that could be called a ballad... I have a morgue full of longer stories that have keeled over not far from the start line, but I like to go back and poke at them, maybe add a paragraph or so every year.

My regular interests:

I like reading anything and everything I can get my hands on. I like fantasy and sci-fi novels, and war-y/soldiering ones too. Chris Ryan and Andy McNab type stuff. Autobiographies are good too.

I watch all types of movies, but not ever psycological thriller stuff, coz I'm wimpy that way. I like war and soldiering films,sci-fi, fantasy and animated. I play Xbox irregularly; Halo and PGR3 are my faves.

I own a recurve bow and binge-shoot when I get upset or need to clear my mind. Not at anybody though (lol)
