Have you ever had one of those days where all you want to do is sit around watching the people go by and laugh quietly to yourself? Yeah, that's pretty much my life. I'm the kind of person who has no problem being left alone and finds the most joy in studying the rest of humanity, for better or worse... And let me just say, we are one weird-ass species... But all of this is beside the point, you are here (probably) because, well, I'm not actually sure why you're here... o.0 No matter though, stick around! I do enjoy rambling to people even if I can't see the confused looks on their little faces!

Alright, getting back on track here. My name is Prickly, or Prickles if you'd like, and I have been writing for as long as I can remember. (I'm not even kidding, that's the sad part, I just found an old story I wrote when I was two... It took me the better part of three hours to figure out what I was on about but still...) However, despite all this practice I've found it very hard to come by good constructive criticism or anything that will help me improve and what good help I have managed to corral now knows me so well that it's hard to be objective, particularly when it comes to my characters. So, with that in mind, I have decided to give this site a try!

Now, I don't review much myself, (I'm dyslectic and find reading off computer screens more difficult than it should be) but still, I will review anything you ask me to and be honest about it! All that being said I'm here for the reviews, for the comments which can help me improve, harsh as they may be. If you ever come across something you dislike in my writing then tell me, my only condition being that you at least explain WHY you dislike it so I can learn. So, that's all folks! If you're still reading at the end of this, I commend you! I will leave you with some of my favourite things because that seems to be what people do around here... Yes I stalked other profiles to find out the norms, it's not creepy, it's just thorough, honestly... XP

A few of my favourite quotes...

- You know what the definition of a hero is? Someone who gets other people killed. ~ Zoe (from the movie Serenity)

- I'll kill a man in a fair fight. Or if I think he's gonna start a fair fight. Or if he bothers me. Or if there's a woman. Or if I'm gettin' paid. Mostly when I'm gettin' paid. ~ Jayne (also from the movie Serenity)

- Also? I can kill you with my brain. ~ River (from the television show Firefly)

The best writing advice I’ve ever heard

-Make your villains charming and your heroes flawed.

-Never write a character until you can walk outside, look around at the different scenes around you and know exactly what your character would do in each one.

-Never call anything edited until you’ve read it out loud.

-Believe what you write and others will too.

And, well, now I’m done. I’d tell you my favourite movies and books only I don’t really read or watch movies so that kinda buggers up that plan... Anyhow, please read and enjoy my stories and don’t forget to tell me what you think!
