Hello, all... I am Runningflame. I joined FictionPress because I am lately becoming very interested in writing, and because my friend Spirithunter is also here. (Salve, amica Spirithunter!) I write on a wide variety of topics... from long fantasy poems, to short, memoir-style pieces, to that short story that I really need to get around to editing... Come, R&R--but above all, enjoy. That is fiction's primary purpose: to be read and enjoyed. :-D
Hehe... I kind of copied Spirithunter's "favorites" thing...
Favorites:
Books: Warriors, Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit/The Silmarillion, Inheritance trilogy, Dragons in our Midst/Oracles of Fire series, Chronicles of Narnia, Foundation trilogy... et cetera...
Animals: Cats, dogs... fireflies... red-winged blackbirds...
Movies (animated): The Incredibles, Finding Nemo, Ratatouille, Toy Story I and II (sense a theme here?), Monsters Inc., Hoodwinked, The Lion King, 101 Dalmations (lol)
Movies (live-action): LotR, Star Wars, and Spiderman movies, Facing the Giants, Amazing Grace, The Ultimate Gift
TV shows: Doctor Who, Reba
Hobbies: Writing, bike-riding, Tae Kwon Do, computer programming, enthusing (about various things)
Things to draw: Cats. That's basically it for me. And I'm not the best at it, either...
Food: Rhubarb custard pie!
Pet: Pixie, my two-and-a half-year-old tabby. Her favorite hobbies are sleeping (but of course), chattering at birds, chasing strings, and eating flies and crickets. ~_~
Languages: Eh... probably a tie between English, Latin, and Tolkein's Elvish (although I'm nowhere near fluent in Latin and know very little Elvish)
Things not to do: Killing spiders... shudder
Mythical creatures: Fairies, actually... but also dragons, as you'll see in my poetry. Then there's the magical mouse-rabbit cross I made up, known as a mabbit... ;-D
In the works:
Murphy's Law--The old saw seems particularly true in the case of a young, inner-city baseball player who just has to make it to tryouts... Needs some pretty comprehensive editing.
98 percent of teenagers (at least, according to Spirithunter's profile) have tried smoking pot. If you're one of the 2 percent who haven't, copy & paste this in your profile.
Meow!
