Hi!

Wow, I thought I would be able to sign into here with my FanFiction account, but I had to make this account instead. I currently have two fics posted on there, one of which I will be taking down to rewrite at some point. More details are on my profile.

This is me:

And yes, I do understand that that will make you question if I'm really 18, or just middle-aged. I'm both. :P

If you take the time to read my eventual fics, I'd love it if you would please leave some feedback!! I can now tell if you've been reading my fics, and I will therefore know if you haven't reviewed. Seriously, nothing is worse than finding that you have several hundred hits to a fic, but only a handful of reviews! Constructive criticism is always appreciated, so please tell me what I can do better! And if you just want to say you liked what you read, you're even more welcome to say so!

If there's anything else you want to know, message me and I'll do my best to get back to you. :)
