Hello.

You are now viewing Bingo's profile. Proceed at your own risk.

You have been warned.

So What's New, You Ask?

May 12th, 2012: Just a small update to let you guys know that, first, FICTIONPRESS CODES ARE SLOWLY KILLING ME. Urgh, there's nothing like HTML to remind you how untech-savvy you are, is there? All the linking and formatting on my profile has gone awry, and I apologize for that. Hopefully it'll be fixed soon. And secondly, I've got a new oneshot up! It's called A Hug From Death and it's basically just a humorous, slightly eccentric thing I wrote in my spare time. I hope you like it, and as always, TELL ME IF YOU DO.

Also, you lot might not be aware of this (to be fair, how would you?) but TSYSK has actually passed a hundred thousand hits a while ago. This is kind of insane for me to believe. I'll try and edit it in the summer because... well, I'm older and wiser now and it needs to be fixed, but anyway, thank you all so much! For reading and rereading and reviewing it. You guys are the best.

January 2nd, 2012: Wow, 2012 already, eh? Time sure flies. THE END IS NEAR, JOSH AGREES. Now, I know I haven't uploaded anything new in a while but I'm going to try and change that this year (particularly once I'm done with IB, bleh) so keep an eye out for a new oneshot or a story or something (:

About CoaMV! Those of you who were reading that particular brainchild of mine may have heard that I'm not longer updating that story because I kindofmaybesortofplannedtoperhapspossibly publish it someday. For that reason I'm no longer putting extra chapters online (although, I want to! I really, really want to!). However, I won't be deleting the chapters I have up for a while yet (until this publishing dream of mine is a bit more concrete, at least) so hope you enjoy those.

Finally, did you guys realize TSYSK passed 900 reviews?! Whoa, eh? Thank you all so, so, so much. I seriously adore every single review. Even the bad ones. I just cannot appreciate enough the response for that story. If you haven't gotten a review reply I apologize deeply. I will get around to finishing them someday! I just have a ton of work right now, hence the general absence. So that's all. Hope you all have a great 2012!

February 5th, 2011: It's been a while since I edited my profile, I know. Nothing new to report, except apparently TSYSK been nominated for Most Creative Plot at SKoWwhich is brilliant! So...thank you! Now go vote! When it's time, I mean! Go, go, go!

CoaMV has also been updated a couple times. I'm enjoying writing it. At the moment I don't think I'll be uploading anything anytime new, due to - er, you know, a revolution going on in my country and stuff (if you're interested, I have a Sparklife article published about it). I know I said I'd put up An Egyptian Tale at some point, but I - er - gave up on that.

Lastly, a couple months ago I also posted a prequel oneshot to TSYSK, called "The Origin." Go give it a read, I like it better than the Story itself.

xx

September 3rd, 2010: Having taken this ... month and a half long break from Fictionpress, in which I did nothing but thoroughly enjoy my summer vacation (as in, eat cookie dough and watch A Very Potter Musical and Sequel continuously, swim in the pool, get freaked out by jellyfish in the sea, and writing random bits of fiction here and there) I have decided to return and debut the arrival of my new story, Chronicles of a Muslim Vampire, which I discovered is very fun to write.

If you'd like to know more about it, look for the CoaMV section down there -points downwards-

Anyway, hope you enjoy it, whoever's reading this.

July 15th, 2010: Annnnnnnnnnnnd The Story You Shouldn't Know has been completed. I'm really, really pleased with the way it ended, especially with the feedback I've gotten. It's been lovely, people. It was actually quite emotional writing 'The End.' I had to treat myself to a chocolate milkshake to get over it -cough-

If anyone is wondering what's going on next, I will be focusing on two things: One will be editing the TSYSK version on Fictionpress (mainly to remove the terrible A/Ns 14-year-old me wrote ...)

The other thing will be putting my next story, An Egyptian Tale on FP. I'm really excited to write that one. However, I'm still unclear on exactly when it's going on. I'd prefer to take a break from writing serious things right now (ET will be humorous, but it's still very important to me, see) so until then, I might be doing The Chronicles of a Muslim Vampire just for giggles. It's more or less a series of one-shots that will be updated every time I get inspiration. So keep a look-out for that!

x-x-x

June 26th, 2010: Right. Soo. It's been a while. In my defense, this was not done on purpose AT ALL. It was caused mainly by a series of unfortunate events, from my laptop's death, to going on camp, to having my new laptop confiscated, to having two weeks of hell at school (literally, I bet in hell, they'll give you projects with the deadlines tomorrow, and six tests in a week, and lots and lots of Arabic homework), and then two weeks of semester exams, as well as SATs.

BUT, the Story You Shouldn't Know has been updated. It's actually been completed (hey, I wasn't completely lazy), but for the sake of keeping it just a bit longer, I'm going to update it chapter by chapter every few days. I initially planned to update the last 5 chapters all at once when school ended, but I think that would be a bit anti-climatic. So keep reading!

EDIT// new: the Story You Shouldn't Know and Right Off the Donkey raps! See below.

x-x-x

April 13th, 2010: Okay, so three things are new this time. The first is that my laptop died. Yeah, RIP Pikaw, sad faces all around. This is mainly the reason for the lateness of the update. I haven't abandoned the Story or anything; I'm just waiting for my parents to get me the new laptop (Whom I will name Toothless. Because How to Train Your Dragon rocks).

The second new thing is that I have a oneshot up! First oneshot, yayness. It's called Right Off the Donkey and you may read it and find info on it down there. Go, go! Read and review!

The third (and I saved the best for last) is that one awesome Story reader made an epic Youtube trailer/promo vid for the Story You Shouldn't Know! It's AMAZING. I command you all to go see it right now! http : / / www . youtube . com / watch?v=XFYSxGfeXpk (links aren't working right now, sorry).

Thank you, xxMidnightxxRainxxMelodyxx!

March 23rd, 2010: WHOA! Time flies! I'm shocked. But hey, I updated, and now I'm review-replying ... (this seems to be the cycle of my life. Update, apologize for lateness, review reply, apologize for lateness, procrastinate for a couple of weeks and then do it all over again!) xD So what's new? I don't know. The Story is almost over, which is a relief, because I'm really eager to start on my next stories ... and I'm actually busy for once! Hah. Much to do, yeah ... mainly homework, but hey, who's thinking of homework? Not me, thats for sure.

x-x-x-x

December 30th, 2009: Nothing much going on, 'cause i'm sad like that. It's winter break ... getting ready for the New Year and stuff. I have New Year resolutions, though! Resolution #1: Review reply Asap (do you pronounce that A-S-A-P or ay-sap? I never did find out). But seriously ... review replying (or forgetting to ...) always makes me feel guilty. It's not that i don't like it! I love review replying ... it's just that reviews make me go -squee- and do the review dance, and because they're so awesome, make me just want to write more xD So i end up writing more instead of writing replies like that (in my defense, i think you guys prefer that! Right? Heh. Heh.) So. Um, yeah. I WILL review reply soon. I promise. But thank you all for the reviews! Oh ... and i am updating soon. I rarely take more than a couple of weeks ... (and yes, this What's New thing will sort of be my messages to everyone who cares ... twitter and facebook and the rest just don't strike me as fun xD This is a blank page! I don't think there's anything as fun as a blank page!)

So About Me:

Um, I'm this odd female person thing who currently resides in Egypt, Land of The Many Protests and likes to pretend she can write every once in a while. You may find me at my Tumblr if you care to.

So About The Story You Shouldn't Know:

Yea, i thought that was enough about me already... so:

The Story You Shouldn't Know - yes, it's the Story that defied all possible summaries! I can tell you a small bit of what it's about, though. It's about a girl named Anna who's been destined for something extraordinary ever since birth, although nobody would ever truly know what until the day she meets Josh. Josh is cool, Josh is cute - but Josh is also very, very evil and he's about to put Anna through hell and back again.

Yup, that's pretty much all i'm allowed to say. I can honestly say, however, that it's different. It's (sadly) a romance, because I wanted to try my hand at that, and that's pretty much it.

What did you think of it? Review and lemme know.

xx

Updates? The Story is updated very regularly, with usually less than week-long intervals. However, since i have school starting October, updates could be less frequent, especially since the chapters are pretty long. Hopefully it'll be finished sometime in May or earlier.

EDIT// I lied. It finished in July.

xx

Character Pics ... unfortunately, the Story isn't the sort of story that can have character pics. Sorreh.

xx

Fan Art ... not so much fan art as fantastic-fan photoshop, the fabulous Arrowsong made some really beautiful Story banners! The Wolf one, which i have as my avvy, is here. This one is Anna's, this one is Josh's, and these here, here and HERE are all just general Story banners that i love to death!

EDIT// See above for link to the Story trailer (:

xx

FAQs: How many chapters will the Story have? At this point i'm not exactly sure, as i get carried away writing sometimes, but i think it'll probably be around thirty (:

Will there be a sequel? Nope. Sorry. Maybe a few mini-stories after it, but no sequel.

xx

The Special Reviewer Surprise ... in the spirit of Satan and all that is fun, I have decided to have a small - shall we say surprise? - to my 666th reviewer (if i hopefully get that far!) Although some books say 616 is the devil's number, i'm sticking with 666 as it is more widely known and all (plus 665! The neighbour of the beast! xD) so anyway! Keep reviewing, and just maybe, you'll find yourself in the story! (;

EDIT// Annnnnnd the 666th review has gone to a certain Dimitri Victor Belikov! Watch out for a certain character in chapter 27 xD

The Story You Shouldn't Know Rap (Set to the Beat of 'Fresh Prince of Bel Air, curtesy of Dani, a.k.a Jayd Scarlett)

Now this is a story all about how,
My life got flipped, turned upside down.
Now, I'd like to take a moment, just sit right there,
I'll tell you how I got married to Satan's heir.

In West ... forest?, born and raised,
Hanging with the Wolf, where I spent all my days,
Chilling out, relaxing, being quite cool,
And doing normal things, like going to school.
When a guy named Josh, he was up to no good,
Starting being strange in my neighbourhood.
I got in one little fight, and the Wolf got scared,
And said, "Don't talk to Josh, he really doesn't care!"

I whistled for a bear, and when he came near,
I saw he'd been killed, was fresh, and nothing became clearer.
If anything, I could that say this guy was rare,
But I thought, no, forget it, he doesn't play fair!

I was sent around the world to see everything he hates,
and I yelled to Josh, "Yo, I really hate ya!"
I looked at his kingdom, this time I didn't care,
And sat in our thrones, and I never got scared.

... I think this is epic.

Right Off the Donkey

Right Off the Donkey is a oneshot I've just submitted. Bit of a comedy/cliche thing set in Egypt. I was really bored and wrote it for a laugh, and a change of style (there's no death in this one ... AND its in first person xD) but I hope you like it!

Characters In This Fic?

Laila - The main character. Sweet girl, bit stupider than she realizes.
Ahmed - The class clown.
Mr Shafie - Long-suffering Arabic teacher.
Adham - Laila's crush and the class athlete. But he's more than he seems.
The Chace - A British tourist who looks like Chace Crawford. Also Laila's victim.
Hesham - Adham's best friend. Addicted to his Blackberry; attitude problems.

The Rest of the Class/ Random Tourists - People who happened to be there.

xx

Vocabulary in This Fic (Arabic and Egyptian Slang)?

Koshary - An Egyptian meal of rice, pasta, sauce and assorted other ingredients. Good stuff.
Sees - Arabic insult for ... well, camp guys. Pronounced like fleece with an S.

The Right Off the Donkey Rap (Set to the beat of Fresh Prince of Bel Air, also curtesy of Danillamasanawesomehead a.k.a. Jayd Scarlett)

Now this is a story all about how,
My life got flipped, turned upside down.
Now, I'd like to take a moment, just sit right there,
I'll tell you how I fell off a donkey and got quite a scare.

In West Egypt, born and raised,
At the pyramids, where I hated spending my days,
Chilling out, sweating, looking a fool,
And all staring at The Chace, who made me drool.
When a couple of guys, they were up to no good,
Starting riding camels in the neighborhood.
I got in one little fall, and The Chace got scared,
And said, "You're an idiot, a dolt, you ruined my hair!"

I'd whistled for a donkey, and when he came near,
I saw The Chace in flesh, but he was staring in the mirror.
If anything, I could that say this moment was rare,
But I thought, nah, forget it, I don't care!

I got talking to Adham, who I'd known since I was seven or eight,
and I yelled to the donkey, "Yo, homes, smell you later!"
Looking at my friend, he told me he cared,
And sat on a sand-dune with Adham there.

again, undeniable epicness.

Oneshot Begun on April 6th 2010

The Chronicles of a Muslim Vampire

CoaMV is my latest thing. I did say I was going to write it once the Story was done, and I actually did, surprisingly enough! Anyway, it's a pet project of mine. It's going to be in a series of chronicles: Chronicle the First, Chronicle the Second, and so on and so forth.

This story is mainly humorous. I lie. It's about 90 percent humor. The other 10 percent is raising awareness about other countries and cultures in general. The reviews have been fairly positive, so I'm optimistic about it.

There's not really much to say, otherwise. Go read it! Enjoy!

Begun (Well, put on Fictionpress): Sept. 3rd 2010
Finished: -

EDIT// So if you guys read the above update, CoaMV is currently on hiatus because of my blasted ambitions. I hope you enjoy the five chapters up, though, and do tell me what you think of it once you've read it!

Anything else? That's what PMs are for!

T-t-t-That's All, Folks!

Ta-da! I bid you all adieu ... but not before i remind you to stay in school, read books, and, more importantly ...

: Don't forget to review!! :

Thank you. And g'nite.
