Hello everyone!

My pseudonym is Wanda Walker. I am both an artist and a writer. My art and various prose pieces can be found on Deviantart here: http://pseudocide335.deviantart.com/

I am a Studio Arts and Writing (with a concentration in Fiction) major at college. I have been writing since the age of eight, when I started my first novel, Lost Stars, then named CTS. It was a 145-page novel and the most poorly written and though-out piece of work in existence. Yet it sparked my love for literature and writing, and I've been doing it ever since. Lost Stars has survived since then, blooming from one 145-page novel into a series of 13 books. I am pursuing other projects, such as:

Confessions of a Drag Queen and a Girl Named Dot (on FP): a book about the adventures of two best friends, one a gorgeous blond drag queen and the other a disgruntled, angry bartender.

Zinya City (not on FP): the trilogy of three friends and their fight against a terrorist group that plagues their beloved city

Pseudocide (not on FP): the story of a rock star who ruminates about her dark past concerning her depressed and angry older brother

Lost Stars (on FP): the 13-novel series that traces the lives of five girls as they battle generals, emperors, and other evil masterminds. You know. Normal stuff.

Four Kingdoms (on FP): the fantasy of four kingdoms, all based around animals: The Aves (the birds), the Colubri (the snakes), the Scrofa (the boars) and the Equus (the horses). This is my most popular story here on FP, for reasons I'm still a little confused about. But thanks to everyone who thinks it's great!

In the Red Zone (on FP): a sci-fi in which the protagonist, Draiden, hides from the government in an iffy neighborhood, looked after by the sassy and no-nonsense Saydi.

Blood Relatives (not on FP): Vampire novel concerning a vampire mercenary and the werewolf she's bent on killing.

Dear Felicia (not on FP): fantasy-esque confessions of a slave girl in a medieval kingdom and her romantic tribulations.

Just a little bit about me . . . My hobbies include reading, writing, drawing, and horseback riding. I don't have a favorite genre or type of fiction, though I try to stay away from hard core mysteries, fantasies, and sci-fi, though the less hard core stuff is just fine. :D I'm a pretty boring person overall, though I do try to find the humor in life and I've been told I have a sense of humor, though probably not a very impressive one. My strongest point in my stories is characterization, and if a story doesn't have well characterized characters, I'm not interested. I'm actually a characterization whore, and I sometimes get just a wee bit too infatuated with my own creations. But I always appreciate critique and criticism, and if anyone finds my characters unbelievable/unlikable, don't worry. I won't bite. I'll actually just hide in my corner and cry.

Just kidding. Oh, and my avatar is my dog. Isn't she simply adorable?

Just some things to keep in mind when reading, reviewing, alerting, etc. . .

--Beware! I update very often on a lot of stories. Most of the stuff on here has already been written chapters in advance. So don't expect to be waiting around for three months for an update. Also don't get pissed at me when you get a new chapter in your email once every three days.

Just a suggestion. DO NOT ask me a question in an unsigned review, because that keeps happening and I CAN'T ANSWER THE QUESTION IF YOU DON'T SIGN YOUR REVIEW. Come on, people. This is not rocket science. If you don't have an account and leave a comment on my story, don't ask questions unless you plan on leaving them unanswered. I feel very bad when people leave me questions that I can't answer. I love to answer any questions that you may have, and I love to respond to reviews in general, so please get an account and sign your reviews if you have questions. Thanks. If you are absolutely against getting an account, ask me to answer the question at the end of the next chapter, because I usually don't do that.

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT-- DO NOT drop me a random PM and write "Oh, I love your story. READ MINE!". First of all, if you don't leave specifics about any of my stories, such as "I love Dot in Confessions. She's so quirky!", I have reason to believe you didn't read any of my stuff. Second of all, if you don't leave any reviews on my stories, why do you expect me to leave reviews on yours? Call me selfish, but I sometimes get PMs like this, and I just can't do that. Time is precious, and people will take advantage of me as a writer/artist. If you are a very faithful reviewer and reader, then don't worry. I don't mind repaying a favor at all. :D But if you've never favorited a story, alerted it, or reviewed it, do NOT expect me to do it to yours, okay? Please. Just don't. I don't want to be rude. I myself would not ask for a favor from a stranger before doing something for them, so I'm not being a hypocrite.

On a positive note, I absolutely love reviews and my loyal readers. I will do anything for them, and I appreciate them so much. Review and I love you forever. Don't be scared to be critical or picky. If you hate a character I claim to like, don't be afraid to say that. If you see a plot hole, tell me. I relish criticism just as much as I do compliments. HELPFUL criticism, of course. In fact, if you dislike a character I love, that makes me happy. It means my character made you feel SOMETHING instead of nothing at all. So don't be shy. I'm a very friendly person. :)

Because someone asked for it, here is Eddie IRL (well, not really, but you know what I mean):
