On myself:
My name is Aunuum. Don't believe me? Too bad, although I wish I was lying. I'm old enough to be writing, but probably not old enough to be as cynical as I am. I enjoy hobbies such as singing off key in public places and making small children cry (preferably by singing off key in public places) Teeny-boppers amuse and disgust me at the same time, not to mention terrify me.

On reviews:
I have no patience for bad grammar, although I'm no doubt making several mistakes myself in this paragraph alone. I love constructive criticism, basically, I thrive off it. I will reply to reviews if they propose something that requires my attention, or I'll thank them if they point out one of many flaws in any of my chapters. I'm a shameless dirty review whore, and I especially love long reviews that make me want to update to see what they'll say next.

On writing and reading:
I read and enjoy het, slash or femslash. However, I cannot stand mpreg, I'm sorry, but guys just don't have that body part, yeah? I'll be writing mostly slash, and mostly in first person, so if you have a problem with either of those, consider yourself forewarned. I'm not claiming to be a good writer, quite the opposite actually, hence my loving criticism. Dish it out! I can take it!

On Beta's:
Oh how I need you. If you are willing to accept this position, read something of mine, decide whether you can put up with my atrocious writing and pm or review me :) However, if you aren't willing to have verbal debates with me over plots of upcoming stories, and tell me when to stop plotting, and write the next damn chapter of the story I'm on, then we probably aren't going to get along. I like being able to discuss writing, so if you aren't prepared, then you probably shouldn't go for it.

On emailing:
Think you'll get along with me? Talk to me! I love email buddies, especially of the fellow writer and reader varieties. It might take a while (1-6 days) for me to respond, because real life always gets in the way. My mind is an open stream of plots, and I love co-writing and bouncing ideas off other people.

Quotes

Eph ignored the joke, focusing on his own thoughts and nodding as he figured out where Tyler’s lesson would have to start. “Earth traveled its ‘long road to destruction’ and then it stood at the top of the last hill and got the first glimpse of where, exactly it was going.”
Chase snickered. “And then it thought, ‘oh shit, that’s not where I thought this road went.’ But it was too late and everyone was going to die.” - Chase and Eph from 'Captain Skyler'

“There’re fishing rods in the closet! Catch me a whale! CATCH ME A WHALE!” - Mr H from 'Details'

I have it on good authority that if you type "Google" into Google, you can break the internet. - Encyclopedia Dramatica on 'Internets' (I suggest to all who have a good sense of humour and can take the lulz, to check out encyclopediadramatica.com)

Faggotry may also be used to describe the act of losing really really bad against a friend. For example, your buddy just beat you so bad in Tekken it was like being gang raped in a prison shower. Your friend committed faggotry. - Encyclopedia Dramatica on 'Faggot (Tree)'

Go forth, ye minions and read.
