Teddy said, "You ask such silly questions, David. Nobody knows what 'real' really means. Let's go indoors."

UPDATES:

- Dancing Snowflakes was one of the finalists for the first season of the Looking At The Stars Award, under the Best Femmeslash category. I was honestly surprised because I mainly started writing Lesbian/Bisexual stories for practice. I didn't even expect that someone will like what I wrote so far enough to nominate it. Thank you. XD

Please support them! Link to the site:

- Dancing Snowflakes stories that will be expanded sometime in the future (posted separately): Crossword Puzzle, Soaring to Johannesburg, & Indiana Jones in a Skirt.

- The Buttefly Garden will be expanded into a novel for NaNoWriMo 2009 (will not be posted until sometime after November - most likely next year since I'll be editing and rewriting.)

Hello everyone. I'm also known as nekointhecorner on YouTube and DeviantART and cuentagirl on LiveJournal. I'm on FanFiction as well (cuenta.)

I'm interested in writing for fantasy and sci-fi, but I also like to experiment with other genres as well.

I'm just a shy nerdy girl who does her own laundry. Writing is my passion (been writing since I was five) next to green chocolate mint ice cream. I write because I want to share stories to others who would want to read them. Money, fame, and even competition are not important to me. I have been and am currently working on several novels/series and short stories/flash fiction pieces (I write poems from time to time, although prose is more my thing) and I hope to have them officially published in the future.

I support and appreciate constructive criticism, both positive and negative. I despise sugar coating and flaming. My writing isn't that great as I'm still practicing, therefore I'll happily accept any criticism and tips to help me improve.

As for my username here, it means story in Spanish.


A warning to the plagiarists lurking on this site: Copy my craptastic writing in any way, and I'll ask you to take it down and/or report you. Plagiarism is not something to play around with. Either write your own stuff or don't write at all.

If you see my work on other than my DeviantART or LiveJournal, please let me know in a PM.
