Hi, I suppose you agonised over clicking the link to my profile, I suppose you had an inner battle, contemplating the consequences following such an action as sending signals from your brain to the tendons and muscles corresponding to the movements of the fingers that are required to be used in moving the mouse contraption. I suppose your conscience screamed within your mind to disobey that unerring urge to move the collection of pixels on your screen which serves as a cursor towards my name, draped in the soft blue of an internet hyper-link, and to press a finger down on the left side of your mouse, to throw away your mental boundaries and enter the forbidden zone that is my profile...

If you did... Well good on ya! I never really think of those things when clicking on a link, and if you did, then I feel honored that someone would go through such a battle to enter my profile!

I am a 15 year old high school student in grade 10. I live in the dry and hot desert continent known by the english-speaking humans as Australia, and I enjoy writing as a hobby, although it has taken years for me to gather enough courage to attempt publishing one of these on the internet. I love dragons and wolves, as a lot of people do, and I do not usually hesitate to read any story containing these creatures if it is offered to me.

Some stuff about me that you probably don't care enough to want to know:

- I am reading Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell at the moment.

- I do actually talk like my first paragraph in real life a lot of the time.

- I have a scary English teacher.

- I am not a regular updater, although I will try my best.

- I enjoy reading good reviewer's stories.

- I do not flame people unless there is good reason.

- My favourite bands are The Spill Canvas, The Sick Puppies and Paramore.

- The dog in my display picture is, in fact, mine.

- My favourite books are City of Thieves by David Benioff, Catch-22 by Joseph Heller, Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell, Blaze of Glory, Heart of Gold and Word of honour by Michael Pryor, The Dead Zone and The Dark Half by Stephen King and, of course, Eragon, Eldest and Brisngr by Christopher Paolini. I also love the guts out of Promise of the Wolves by Dorothy Hearst, obviously. I need to catch up on the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness by Michelle Paver and I dislike the Twilight series quite heartily, although I would not appreciate it if you bugged me about it, because I have my reasons.

Tariss' Hall of Flame

No one... Lucky

Yeah, sure, it may seem childish, but I amuse myself greatly with this kind of thing, plus, it looks good on a profile, don't you reckon?

I have two stories out at the moment, When Endings Start and Shards of Secrecy: The True Power of Control.

When Endings Start has been completed. I wrote this one-shot the same night I'd broken up with my boyfriend, which is probably why it seems so deep and meaningful, haha. I generally am not that good at writing Romance, so I suspect I will not be writing any more of these in the near future.

Shards of Secrecy: The True Power of Control is quite obviously not finished, and I plan on continuing this story until the finish, no matter how long it takes. It is about twenty-one year old Kin Serba, a man with a past he wanted to forget. But when his past is shoved suddenly in his face again, what will he do? Also, who the heck is this random girl who appeared at his doorstep holding his severely wounded best friend? Read and find out.

Writers block is the most terrible thing in existence. Well, I started chapter six of SS: TTPC... and I can't get over this writers block. I will try the best I can, but to be honest: I don't reckon I'll get it out any time in the near future. So sorry about that. Just letting you know I'm alive.
