Cautiously you step into the dark alleyway, your heart rate speeding up. A single pair of luminous eyes stares at you. Positive that the pale figure awaiting you is the author of the story you are now holding in your hand, you approach her slowly. As your eyes adjust, you see a desk nestled under a tall bunk bed. On one side are several stories, mostly incomplete. There are also two photgraphs, one of handome man with dark hair and the other of a girl wearing glasses. In a chair by the window, a girl is leaning over a sketch pad. You realize that she must be the author you seek, and that she is also an artist, but you wonder why the photos are there. What significance do those two bear?

Those eyes never leave you as you stop in front of her. As you open your mouth to speak, she reaches out to grab you, and you feel fangs pierce your neck. Your eyes snap wide open in panic as you realize what has just happened. Hearing the sound of your blood being sucked in, you hastily wish a last farewell to your loved ones.

The vampire pulls her fangs out of your neck and wipes the excess blood off her mouth. Pulling up a chair, she beckons you to come sit with her. "A pleasure to see you," she says. "Make yourself comfortable. Shall I tell you a few things, or would you prefer to skip the blather and read my writings?"

The name? Well, Russian Roulette is a lethal game of chance. Do you really want to know more?

Favorite food: Sushi, lasagne, chocolate.

Weapon of choice: Sarcasm, bitchiness, my teeth XD

Religion: I am Anglican. But I do not wish to discuss it further. I have morals and I follow them, I respect you regardless of what you believe, and the fiction pages are not the place to discuss religious, moral, and political topics. My morals do reflect in my writing, however.

I'm mainly a romance writer. The love of a man and a woman is just something so profound and beautiful that it's almost magical and hard to fully understand. It is a challenge to capture it in words. Personal experience helps shape what I write, especially regarding romance. I can write a romance better when I myself have someone special in my life who I truly love. However, my stories aren't all mush. A good story needs to have plot and substance, so I do my best to make the plot about more than just the romance. I focus a lot on character development. That's why I like to write in the first person: it forces me to become the character, get to know him or her, and grow and change with him or her. Third person doesn't demand character development as much, and it's far less challenging. Moreover, family love, brotherly love, and friendship are also magical, beautiful things, and they are severely underrated, so I try to give those themes a place in my writings as well.

Crappy romance: This seems to be the in thing these days. I'm sick and tired of reading dumb stories where the two people "fall in love" because of each other's looks or for no reason at all, it happens in the blink of an eye, they say the tackiest things, and/or the relationship is based on sex. True love isn't based on looks or sex. True love is wanting to commit to someone, spend the rest of your life with them, and have their children. If one of these is absent, a relationship will be a house built on sand. True love is a house built on stone. It involves commitment, sacrifice, support, and caring. There are things you'll do for the one you truly love that you wouldn't do for anyone else. An important thing to know is why you are in love. What is it you see in the other person that makes you want to commit to him or her and stay with him or her always? "He's hot" or "She's beautiful" are not reason enough on their own. And true love doesn't happen at first sight. Love at first sight does happen, but it needs time to develop. Cupid plants the seed at first sight, but the flower only blooms when you get to know the other person and grow closer to him or her.

I flame stories but mainly on Fanfiction.net. It rarely happens on Fictionpress.com. If you are flamed by A Russian Roulette then you should feel honoured. But honestly, and my ChronosNumberVII account on Fanfiction says the same thing, I don't give a flying fuck if you're insulted by me. Live with it.

My favourite characters in anime, manga, books, comics and movies:

Avatar:

Katara: SHE KICKS BUTT! She's rather temperamental, but she's kindhearted and quick-witted.

Sokka: He's fun! He may be the comic relief of the GAang, and sometimes he can be as dense as Naruto, but he's much more than just a two-dimensional moron and has great potential despite his inability to bend. He's also the kind of boyfriend I would want to have in real life.

Toph: SHE KICKS BUTT TOO! She's also funny in her own way, and quite intelligent. The fact that she found a way to live with her blindness makes her mentally as well as physically strong.

Uncle Iroh: He's fun, yet wise at the same time. Tea, anyone?

Black Cat:

Jenos Hazard: He's mine. He's mine, people, he's mine. He's funny and sweet, a womanizer but he's also actually quite chivalrous. Not to mention he doesn't like people messing with his friends and doesn't believe in harming his own comrades to accomplish (hate that word!) a mission. Even if it is for Chronos. And, in the anime, Jenos wanted to scrap the contract between him and Rinslet because fighting the Apostles of the Star was dangerous and he was worried for her safety. And he's actually pretty damn cute. What more could a girl want in a guy!

Train Heartnet: He's a bit of a goofball but he won't sit by and allow injustice against him or his friends. When Saya was killed, he vowed to avenge her death but instead of killing Creed, he made Creed live a life of repentance (hate that word too!) Also in the manga when Creed was about to shoot Sven, Train blocked the bullet with his own body, not caring about the consequences. He also doesn't especially want to remember his bad past, but he also accepts that you can move on and start anew, no matter what you've done in life.

Rinslet Walker: She's a woman who doesn't let people boss her around, like in so many other animes where the leading lady does whatever the lead male says without question. If Rinslet is told something she doesn't like, she will say so. She's not afraid to speak her mind. If anyone on this site watches the anime, then they should remember the scene in the bar when Jenos wanted to end the deal between them. She didn't like being told to stop doing something that had taken up a lot of her time and energy and she said so. She also got totally pissed whilst doing that. She may get annoyed really easily but she does care about her friends and would most likely hate herself if she caused anything to happen to them. She is definately my kind of girl.

Batman:

Joker- Seriously, psycho as he may be, who doesn't like the Joker? I'm not saying anything more on this one.

Riddler- He's different to a lot of the villains in the fact that he is not actually a psychopathinc killer. I'm not actually sure what his motives are but he makes and awesome villain with the way he uses his brain rather that too much brawn like a lot of villains.

Catwoman- I think she's a lot like Rinslet. Just read about what I think about Rins and you'll understand.

Fruits Basket:

Shigure Sohma- He's funny and sweet and he also gives a lot of good advice when needed. I think he would be vary much like his Zodiac spirit, the Dog, and be a very trusting, loyal friend. He may be a little perverted but everyone has their flaws.

I like a lot of the characters in Fruits Basket but Shigure is really my only favourite,

One Piece:

All of the Straw Hat Pirates- Their dedication to their dreams and their friends is really sweet and I think more people in this world should be like them.

Red-Haired Shanks- He's damn awesome! I dunno why!

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.

Pairings I adore:

Black Cat:

JenosxRinslet- He has liked her from when he appeared in the manga and although that was mainly based on looks at first, as they both got to know each other more his attraction to her may have escalated to a crush and then to love. Also, as the series progresses, Rinslet grows more fond of Jenos. Although there are no canon pairings in Black Cat, JenosxRinslet actually has a lot going for it. Also, at the end of the anime, it is hinted that Rinslet and Jenos are actually dating.

TrainxRinslet- In the manga they are actually good friends and it is obvious that Rinslet cares for Train and is attracted to him. Given time and room to grow, this pairing might have actually become reality as they obviously care about each other. In the earlier chapters, Train actually gave up a chance to kill Creed and went to save Rinslet. Even though Train could have killed Creed there and then he held back because he didn't want Rinslet to get hurt. Also, when Cerberus was attacking Creed's hideout and Train appeared there, he gave up that chance to kill Creed again so he could save Rinslet. Not to mention they actually went on a date once!

TrainxJenos- This is actually a major crack pairing. Apart from their fight near the start of the anime and their alliance at the end, Train and Jenos have had almost no contact. It's also a shonen-ai pairing and Jenos is so obviously straight and Train shows no interest in romance. I think that if they had been given more time together, then the two of them could have gotten along damn well. Although I think they would have argued alot. Just adding, that in their fight in the anime, their luck seemed to have switched over (Jenos being the lucky Number VII and Train being the unlucky XIII), they may need some more, um, physical contact to switch it over again (If you get my drift.)

Fruits Basket:

ShigurexMe- Yes although I said Jenos was mine, I think that a relationship with Shii-Shii-kun would be a real treasure. Like I said before, he would be loyal and sweet and trusting, all the things required in a lover. And me, well, I'd just try to return the favour.

ShigurexAyame- They seem to flirt a lot. It just makes sense.

One Piece:

SanjixNami- It's so obvious that he has a thing for her and they're good friends anyway. Maybe that could become love?

ZoroxRobin- I've always liked this pairing. I'm not that clear on their relationship but hey. A sleepy swordsman and a Devil Fruit user who can sprout her limbs any where? I think they make a good match.

LuffyxVivi- They became pretty good friends during the Alabasta arc and if Luffy ever becomes the Pirate King, he'll need a Queen right?

Batman:

BatmanxCatwoman- They kissed! They did! In Hush the two of them kissed! And it's obvious that there is an attraction between them.

JokerxHarley- Come on people! How could this not be canon. Harley went insane for her Puddin' and even though he doesn't seem to love her, I think that down in the deepest part of his heart, Joker harbours a little affection for Miss Quinn.

RiddlerxHarley- I really don't know about the dynamices between these two but I think they could work out. I'm not sure about age gaps though.

My Ways on Getting Over Writers Block:

Ah, writers block. The scourge of writers (good or bad) all around the world. Everyone has their way of combatting these incredibly annoying obstacle. Here are mine:

Character Profiles:

I find writing profiles for my characters is a great way to get over my writers block. It also helps me develop my characters more, makes me feel like they could exist. I find it gives them personality. And it also gets me some time alone. Now, thanks to writers block, my characters have better developed back-stories (like Raven. I didn't even really give him one until i started profiling and the ideas just charged at me. I think he's developed a mind of his own, like Seth).

Music:

Mmm, the sound of music! Everyone uses music to solve their problems. Nothing can live without it. Yes, even animals have their own music. The birds sing and Nature provides sweet and wonderful melodies to stimulate animal lifestyles (the sound of rivers, wind whistling through trees). The animals themselves create their own music, much like humans. Anyway, back on track. I find that nothing can inspire you more than music. If you're writing a tragedy, find a sad song to listen to, if you're writing a happy story, listen to a bright, loud tune.

Movies:

Yes, movies. You can always draw inspiration from the work of others. Just put your character in the shoes of a movie character (like I put Rose in Chihiro's situation from Spirited Away) and imagine what your character would do. Remember to use the shape of your characters personality to get them out of a tight spot, poke at their flaws (or, in the case of a Mary-Sue, give them flaws like the character in the film) and develop their strengths. Also, if you have no other options, you could borrow lines from the film but say that 'This line belongs to the writers of this film' in a disclaimer.

Video Games:

Feel free to unleash your inner geek and spend an hour or more playing a good video game. I find that RPG games are good for inspiration and so are fantasy games. If you have a game like The Sims (like me), then create your characters on the game and play out their life. I find The Sims: Castaway is good for an adventure story or something like that. For a fantasy story, I'd recommend Spyro the Dragon or any anime-based video game. Games on the Internet are good too.

Drabbling:

This is a great way to get your juice flowing. It gives you a chance to practice descriptive or poetic language. I've written two drabbles so far and they've really started to get me going again. Most of the time, I write from first-person, except for when I'm writing Fanfiction, and I try to fit different characters; a desert traveller and her three horse, a wolf and at the moment I'm writing from the perspective of a boy. I find it gives me an edge on different people.

Visiting New Places or Nature:

Like I said before, Nature makes music. When I went to visit my hometown in England, me and my dad walked up the Hills three times. The view was stunning; I could see the whole town, and just being in that place of beauty and Nature was awesome. The sight of rolling green hills, so often portrayed in stories by people who have never seen them, was stunning and nothing can take away the beauty of a country. Anyway, my point is, use places of Nature in your stories. Include a forest, a glittering lake, a field of flowers. But I like to keep to things I've seen. Also, when I was in england, my family and I went to Eastnor Castle and we walked around a beauiful lake, right through a forest. When we reached the bank opposite the castle, we stopped for a break and I glanced across the lake. It was just like a scene from a movie; the stone castle rising majestically above a misty lake, surround by green trees. Breathtaking. At the time, I had started writing my fantasy and that picture was the perfect opening scene.

Gripes on Life:

You probably don't want to read this section but if you do you may understand a few of the ideas that pop into my writing

Twilight:

I was sure I was going to LOVE Twilight. It looked interesting from the exterior, it was about vampires, it was supposed to be a romance, and my sister was a fan. She helped to make me believe it was going to be a wonderful read. I was excited when we finally got the book. However, Stephanie Meyer dashed my expectations and let me down. The book turned out to be a boring, tedious, plotless text with a crappy, unrealistic romance. Twilight is so boring that I couldn't finish it in one sitting, and I almost fell asleep trying to read it! It looks and sounds like it was written by a naive thirteen-year-old fangirl who wanted to seem cool, was imagining herself as Bella, and thought that using big words would impress her readers. (How the fudge did it get published?) And the characters are stupid and annoying! Bella is an annoying idiot who could be knocked over with just a push of my little finger. She's also a total female dog to people who are nice to her and care for her. The human race have the perfect words to describe her: utter shit. No wonder Edward can't read her mind; all there is in her mush of a brain is "Edward is gorgeous". Which we're reminded of every two sentences. Speaking of Edward, he's no vampire. He's a creepy, stalkerish, blood-drinking fairy with skin that's made of disco balls. Vampires do not sparkle! If Stephanie Meyer wanted to use that much poetic license, she shouldn't have called them vampires. J.R.R. Tolkien invented hobbits and Balrogs, and J.K. Rowling invented dementors, Veela, and Inferi. In any case, Edward Cullen is a sparkly fairy and can never know the true way of the night clan. And his and Bella's so-called "romance" is both more unrealistic than Disney and creepier than a date with Zac Efron. Bella only likes Edward because of his looks, and he only likes her because of her smell. That's not true love! I saw no chemistry at all between them. Their conversations were comprised almost entirely of "Oh, Edward! You're so gorgeous!" "Oh, Bella! ...But I'm a monster; I could hurt you!" "But Edward, you're so hot!" "I love you too, Bella, now come along; we're going out." And for some reason she likes it when he stalks her. If Mr. Sparkly was following me home and watching me sleep, I'd tell my dad and file for a restraining order, and Dad would rip his head off the next time he came near me. Edward is controlling and abusive, and Bella lets him walk all over her. That's not romance, that's creepy.

And the next three books are even worse. (I haven't read the whole series, just Twilight and Breaking Dawn, and after reading those, I don't think I can stomach the other two.) In New Moon (Most. Boring. Book. EVER), Edward, who promised Bella he would stay with her always, leaves her, and she goes all emo and jumps off a cliff just to hear his voice! (I didn't actually read New Moon in its entirety; it was so boring it put me to sleep after two or three pages.) And in Eclipse, when she's going to see Jacob, Edward takes the engine out of her car and bribes Alice with a Porsche to keep her from going anywhere. This is love? Sure, right, of course (That last bit was sarcasm)

And Breaking Dawn... the first three books were just boring, but Breaking Dawn is wrong on so many levels. Meyer doesn't detail the E/B lemon much, except for mentioning that Edward wrecked the bed and shredded a pillow, yet she describes a particularly gruesome birthing scene in great detail. Seriously; Edward gives Bella a C-section with his mouth! Moreover, marriage is NOT a nonstop sex fest. Meyer also disregards science and goes against her own logic that she herself set up three books ago. Edward is SUPPOSED to be dead and have no body fluids. How the shamrock can he have live sperm? And even if he does, how the hell can he and Bella have a creepy deus ex machina baby that grows so fast you'd think she was on steroids? Then Jacob reveals that he's a pedophile when he imprints on said baby. Seriously. He liked Bella and then imprinted on her daughter. Her DAUGHTER! I can hear Jacob's voice now: "Nessie, my sweet!" It sounds almost exactly like a certain gay hebi bastard saying, "Sassssssssssssuke-kun!" Does that not spell "creepy"? I only don't hate Nessie because I feel so sorry for her. First her idiot mother names her, of all things, "Renesmee" (which I refuse to call her), and then Pedomutt "falls in love" with her and marks her as his future bride, giving her no say in the matter. So what if she's supposed to think of him as Uncle Jacob until she grows up? She'll spend her whole life viewing "Uncle Jacob" as a fatherly figure and then have to marry him. Same for little Claire as far as Quil is concerned. So not only is it pedophilia, it's also almost incest. People say, "But she doesn't have to fall in love with him!" Perhaps so. But she's expected to. So it's still essentially an arranged marriage. Jacob even gave Nessie an engagement ring for her first Christmas. An ENGAGEMENT RING! People also say, "But he doesn't lust after her!" Lust is part of love. Believe me, I know. I admit that I would really like for Jenos to screw the fudge out of me. (I never write or draw stuff like that, though; my lust is not something I should show the world.) And Jacob knows that if he and Nessie marry, he's going to do stuff to her. So yes, he does feel lust. (That's why I never write Train and Eve paired together. As much as I like the two of them, with the way they appear in my writing, it would look exactly like what Jacob did to Nessie, and I am NOT a pedophile.) Would someone please tell me why this series is a bestseller? Not only is it boring, it promotes sexism, relationship abuse, unhealthy love, and pedophilia

Naruto:

I used to absolutely worship this manga and then Kishimoto went and ruined the series. The actual character Naruto I used to like but then Kishimoto went and Gary-Stued him by making him give all these speeches and converting a heap of characters to his morals. Sounds like a cult leader to me. Not to mention, he turned almost the whole Naruto fandom against Sasuke! People say that Sasuke is a whiny, emo fag ('Scuse my language) but really, if you saw your whole family murdered you wouldn't be the chirpiest person alive. And then all these fangirls pester you because they 'love' you for completely shallow reasons but you want your own space. I'm not surprised he left the village.

Then came the 'love confession' from Hinata! Well, poke my nose and call me a mole, it took her, like, NINE YEARS to tell Idiot-in-Orange how she felt about him and even then he was being thrashed by Pein-sama's awesomeness. You think she would of moved on to a better guy. Naruto ignored her every time Sakura appeared before Shippuden and only noticed her when she was having her ass kicked by Neji. And people see a romance forming between the two of them. Get real! Hinata deserves heaps better than Naruto.

If this series doesn't stop sucking so bad then it may lose me forever to the wonderful manga of Black Cat (actually I think I'm converted anyway.)

Bashing:

I hate this. People on Fanfiction always smash characters to bits with no good reason. Once, I saw someone who hated Tenten from Naruto and I asked them why. They replied saying 'I hate Tenten because she is ugly and she's trying to steal Neji from Sakura!' And then I thought 'So she's not the best-looking girl in the world. That doesn't give any reason to hate her. Stealing Neji from Sakura? Those two haven't even spoken! Also, NejiTen isn't even canon!' It was the same with this GaaraIno fan I saw once. I was reading this GaaraxHinata fic once and this GaaraxIno fan flamed it and bashed Hinata to bits! This is coming from someone who likes GaaraxIno! Honestly people, get a damn life! It's Fanfiction so people are allowed to pair up people who haven't spoken. The thing that really got to me was that the flamer liked GaaraxIno! I have nothing against the pairing but that flamer had no right to bash a GaaraxHinata pairing because 'they've never spoken' when the flamer herself like Ino with Gaara. They've never spoken.

YAY FOR CRACK PAIRINGS!

If anyone happens to disagree with me fine, let me know I'll be glad to hear your opinions about things. It motivates me. Mind you, be prepared for when I fight back and defend my own opinion (with actual evidence)
