I'm going to attempt a profile, okay? First off, my name is Britnie.
I'm 17 years old, and a Junior in high school. I have wonderful friends that totally inspire me and give me things to write about sometimes. They are one of the things that I couldn't imagine life without, especially Gwen.
I love music. Period. Mostly rock.At the moment, Japanese Rock is my favorite. Visual Kei, Oshare Kei, and a bunch of other genres that I don't know what they could be called. Basically, I love music. I also believe that there is no such thing as a language barrier, and if there is, then it should be easily surpassed. Music is music, no matter what language it is in. I have a habit of listening to many different bands that are of different languages; mostly Japanese, and some German rock, including: Dir en grey, Miyavi, AnCafe, MUCC, LM.C, the GazettE, Rammstein, Megaherz and Tokio Hotel. Other bands that I like are: The Dresden Dolls, Metallica, Daft Punk, Aqua, KoRn, Marilyn Manson, Nickelback, Puddle of Mudd, and I don't remember a lot of the others that I listen to.
I AM A MUSIC JUNKIE. END OF STORY. :3
I love music, and one of my favorite parts of the music is the LYRICS:
"I'm hungry... I'll eat my favorite bread with jam. Put the pistol to their temples. RaspBERRY jam."-Kyo (Dir en grey)
"I've got four loose screws in my head, Isn't that romantic?" -Kyo (Dir en grey- CimredopyH EgniryS +An injection)
"Lets put an end... the Final."-Kyo (Dir en grey-The Final)
"Suck suck suck em all til the end of mine Death Thirteen/ Wrists made a reality, THROB/ Ain't fuckin' around" -Kyo (Dir en Grey: MARMALADE CHAINSAW)
"Don't hesitate & Go" -Miyavi ("Pop is dead")
"Are you ready to ROCK?"-Miyavi
"My own heart killed me.."Kyo (Dir en Grey- -mushi-)
"I go to school and I run and play/ I tell the kids that it's all okay/ I laugh a lot so my friend won't know/ When the bell rings I just don't wanna go home." -Everclear ("Wonderful")
"Ready set go, it's time to run/ The sky is changing, we are warned/ Together we can make it while the world is crashing down"Tokio Hotel "Ready Set Go"
"Serious injury laugh at me./ The time is changing/ the passage of time/ burns me, you, now.." -Kyo (Dir en Grey: 24ko CYLINDER)
"Don't call the doctors/ cuz they've seen it all before/ they'll say/ JUST/LET/HER/CRASH/AND/BURN/SHE'LL/LEARN/The attention just encourages her." -The Dresden Dolls: GIRL ANACRONISM
-- and that's just a few --
My friends are, as mentioned, some of the most important people in my life. I love them with all of my heart and soul, if not more. I couldn't imagine life without them, and my best friend is far, far away from me at the moment. I'm dealing with it, and it isn't the first time, so I've become used to it.
I speak to Gwen quite often, and she usually has a new idea or ten to share with me. She can get my creativity going with hardly more than a word, as it sometimes seems. But, sometimes, there are things that I write and don't want her to read because they... show some side of me that I would prefer her not to have to see. But she's always the person that I'll allow to read everything, and I can guarantee that she's read at least some part -or heard about, or helped me with- mostly any stories or poems or whatever it is that I'll eventually upload onto this account. She is, I guess you could say, one of my biggest muses. One of the things that inspires me so greatly, I must write whatever idea had come into my mind.
The other, possibly biggest, thing that gets me to write is music. As mentioned numerous times, I am a music junkie; I can't live without it. I hear a song and I have some sort of idea forming in my head. For Dir en Grey's song "BERRY" -which is about Child Abuse- I have had many different ideas from it that all have to do with some part of a character's past. (This character's name is Kanna, and she's more than likely going to be a recurring character in all of the works I put here -or anywhere else- because she is my Main Original Character, the one that I have worked so hard on and hold extremely close to my heart.) There are times where I have to listen to a certain song while writing a certain story, or when just hearing a lyric of a song will get me writing so quickly, or make my fingers twitch with the need to write... or when I hear the title of a song -even when the title isn't more than a word in someone else's sentence and wasn't intended to be a title of a song at all- or a word that reminds me so strongly of the song that I have to stop whatever I am doing and think and plot and plan about whatever I am working on or thinking about working on that involves that song. Anything that could remind me of a part of a song is usually turned into some twisted way of making me think about something I want to write or draw-- an ultimate form of inspiration that leaves all the others in the dust, I suppose. Nothing that I know of cannot be turned into some form of musical reference in my mind.
I love to write and read, which should be quite obvious, seeing as how I have an account both here on Fiction Press, and on Fanfiction.net (http://www.fanfiction.net/~kannachan27) But, I also love to draw. I will get an idea to draw and I might start sketching it out right then and there, be it on a test paper, notebook paper, hand, table, desk, anywhere. Sometimes, I get ideas so powerful to draw but I know that I cannot draw them and that's a shame but-- I sometimes turn them into little stories, or fanfictions, or some sort of writing. Describing with words what I could not draw because I lack the talent, the motivation that pure ability--to get what I feel so strongly, see so vividly, and put it onto paper for someone else to see.
I love manga, and I like anime. There isn't anything wrong with that, or if anyone thinks that there is, then they probably don't know just how much it can express about everything. Not all anime is cartoonish and silly-- there are some very heavy, plot-laden, serious anime that I have seen. Not all manga is silly little sketches with no plot or meaning-- Have you ever heard of the manga called "LIFE"? It's one of my favorites, and quite good. Fruits Basket, and LOVELESS, and Chibi Vampire-- and I cannot forget Naruto. I have read many others, but all of these still stand on my bookshelf, and I have been collecting the volumes or reading the chapters for more than a year now. Plot filled and dramatic, with suspence, and maybe even a little bit of supernatural, non-human things thrown in (not in LIFE, though... that's completely real). I love to read these, and I also love to read things that are written based on them. Fanfiction. It is what I primaraly write, and what I can do the best, I think. I have many favorite stories, and many plots and little scenes that run through my head involving these characters, but I have so many things that I could list! Favorite characters, favorite scenes, favorite pairings-- so much.
I love video games. Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, Guitar Hero, Dance Dance Revolution... I love them. I may not be the best at Guitar Hero, but it's damn fun, and DDR makes me trip over my own feet, I'm so clumsy, but I still love to play it. Kingdom Hearts has taken over my heart for favorite Video games, and I'm anxiously awaiting information being released about any new games. Final Fantasy-- although I've only played a few games--I love the series. And, what do you know?, I write and read fanfiction for these as well! Sora and the other Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II characters are always occupying my mind somewhere- in fact, I just decided to write another story about them... kind of. But that isn't the point. I'm not sure what the point is, but I know that it wasn't that I've started a new fanfiction.
Hmm... what haven't I covered? I love the colour red. I love everything about it. Period. I love blue eyes, and I believe that they are the most beautiful coloured eyes in the whole world and of all the colours I could have to choose from --red, green, yellow, orange, purple, silver... all of those included and more-- I would still pick blue. I have a habit of ranting: once I get started on a topic, sometimes I cannot and will not shut up about it. Music is one of these topics, and I've noticed that usually, whenever I start talking about music, I can't drop the subject for a while, unless I force myself to, or sometimes someone changes the subject, but it's still on my mind.
Sometimes, but a lot of the time I don't, I will write from personal experience. My character, Kanna, is based off of myself, but she is not me. I would react differently to some of the situations that she is put in, and she would react differently form the way that my life is. My past is not the same as hers, and I am somewhat sorry for the hell that I put her through in order to shape her into the being that she is today.
Yume is not my own character; She technically belongs to my best friend Gwen. But, I have been told that I can use Yume whenever I feel like it, and I should caution people that I don't always get her character right--seeing as how I'm writing my best friend's main character that is so insanely different than she herself is-- but I'm told that sometimes I get it damn close. And this is coming from Gwen, the creator of Miss Yume, who also says that she loves the characterization and the way I describe her, and it makes me feel so special and so good, to know that I can write Yume successfully.
I like to receive feedback--more than just a simple "That was a good story!! I hope you continue!" I want to know where and how I can improve my writing- mistakes, things that went well, how can I change this part to make it flow better? Could this be said differently? Is this easy to understand or should I change it?--I like to know these things. I love it when people point out things that I can improve, and I also like it when people point out things that I did very well. I like to know what people reading my stories think about a chapter, or a person, or a situation. I love to hear suggestions- things that could possibly happen, or things that a person wouldn't mind seeing. Sometimes, though not often, these can spark something inside me and then... We're off on another adventure.
I like to be able to talk to people. I don't mind if I don't know them really well-- I think that I might like making friends, or just having people to talk to when I have an idea or something. If anyone has MSN-- feel free to IM me sometimes. I'll probably be kind of shy and want to know you better, but... If you're someone that I can get to know and like, or someone that I can bounce some of these ideas in my head off of... well... who knows? My MSN is Kannachan27@hotmail.com and that is where I can usually be found, as well. Feel free to email me.
And... If I've forgotten anything... just tell me, please. Or ask. I'm not against sharing information about myself...sometimes. It depends on what with who and why, or something. But most information that I think I might have forgotten I don't mind giving out to other people.

--CURRENT PROJECTS ON FICTIONPRESS--
TITLE: The Unknown
GENRE: Mystery/Supernatural
RATING: T (for now)
SUMMARY: Her life has been changing, for a while now. Voices in her head, recognizing people that she had never seen before, but feeling as if she knew them somehow, dreams that she doesn't recall. And now, everything was changing around her, ever since that day. But, why did she keep thinking it all had something to do with Vampires?
NOTES: My NaNoWriMo project for 2007; Sadly, I did not finish, but I loved the story so much that I decided to keep it.
PROGRESS: Six chapters uploaded, I've got a seventh chapter written (kind of). Well... chapter seven is started, at least. But I'm stuck. I need a name for a character and it's very important, but I can't name people and I can't think of one.
TITLE: Perfectly Unperfect
GENRE: Horror/Drama/Tragedy
RATING: M
WARNINGS FOR: ABUSE, VIOLENCE (possibly more in the future)
SUMMARY: Kanna is a woman who had been abused as a child, mentally and physically. She now has a daughter who she is terrified of being alone with, because of her mother. I don't want to be like her... Please, please don't let me be like her...
NOTES: Yes, this is a story about abuse. No, I don't have personal experience. Yes, I am continuing to write this story despite that. So far, I've gotten positive responses for this from everyone who has read it, but I would actually like to see some criticism, too. Constructive, mind you. I can take advice.
PROGRESS: Six chapters written and uploaded. I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing with the next chapter, so please be patient.
TITLE:Drabbles of "Elle"
GENRE: Angst/Tragedy/Horror/Hurt/Comfort
RATING: M
WARNINGS: Violence, abuse, (possible) gore, insanity... many more warnings.
SUMMARY: Two minds, two people, one body. Two and two but one. Twitch. Elle. What...? And always, always, "Why?"
STYLE: Nearly disconnected drabble-type chapters. Third person; moves all around the timeline. Some chapters do not even appear to be related.
PROGRESS: TEN chapters uploaded. Currently written: Part one; 11/11 chapters.
NOTES: Mmmm... I love-love-love this one. Meet Twitch. And Elle. Get to know them. Now watch as I make you hate them. Wait, wait, wait... Now stop. I'll turn your world upside down.
EXTRA: I've divided this, so far, into Two parts. Part one: Drabbles of "Elle" and Part Two: Memories for "Twitch." I'm not sure just how long this is going to turn out to be. But as soon as I type up chapter 11 and upload it, I am going to change the status of Drabbles of "Elle" to "Complete" because this is only PART ONE.
COMING SOON:
TITLE: Memories for "Twitch"
GENRE: Angst/Tradgedy/Horror/Hurt/Comfort
RATING: T-M
WARNING: SECOND PART OF DRABBLE OF "ELLE." Will contain: abuse, violence, insanity, gore, horror... and probabla lot more.
SUMMARY: You know Twitch and Elle. But how much do you really know? What is missing? Shall I...tell you? Oh, you sweet child, you're still looking for the answers, aren't you? But you've got it wrong... you've got it all wrong. But I don't care. I don't care. I'll convince myself, one day, that I don't care.
STYLE: First person, Point of view: Twitch. Much easier to follow, in my opinion, and doesn't jump around as much. Most are in the form of memories or as if Twitch is talking to somebody; Talking to Elle.
PROGRESS: None typed. Chapters written: 9/??
NOTES: I'm pretty sure that there is going to be a part three, but I'm not sure. I'm not finished with part two, yet. Though the way this one is written is much better, and it's longer than Drabbles of Elle, too.
SEMI-MAJOR update on: June 16, 2008 (Story progress, lyrics and contact information.)
