Alrighty, hey, all! Hmm, what to write, what to write... Well, let's start with the basics, shall we?

Name: goldring. You don't need to know more than that.

Age: as old as the stars and as young as the tiniest seed. (Actually I AM 18 in July, but who's counting!)

Weight: Why do you care, again?

Sex: Female (and darn proud of if!)

Location: good ol' U S of A (so if my foreign readers have any questions, feel free to ask!)

~~ ALL STORIES ARE OFF HOLD!!!!!! I got some inspiration, and we are BACK in business, babes ;-D

Storys: Under Fire (If you happen to have a better title, please feel free to suggest it!) a bit more detailed summary: Basically, this is about Sam, a mercenary belonging to a group called the Fighters for Justice. They work with the US government to take down terrorists and the like without going through nasty legal red tape. Sam had a nasty bodyguard experiance a few years back, and has sworn off bodyguarding for all time. However, he can deny neither his friend Chris nor his superior MacCulla, and so is stuck doing bodyguard duty for a woman he classifies as a Class 1 Ditz (and believe me, she acts like it!). Victoria Phoenix is recieving protection from a dangerous terrorist group calling themselves The Ruthless, as her brother is testifing at a trial against them in three weeks. Everything is pretty cut-and-dried, right? Right? (If it seems like I'm keeping you in the dark here, yes, I am...aren't I so evyl, muahaha *cue evyl laugh*) But read it, and find out yourself! Chapter Ten is up!! FINALLY! perhaps only 3 more chapters to go... :'(

The Keys to My Heart: I know, I know, I've already got one story in progress, but I just had this idea, and...well...yeah. But this one's quite different from UF, as well as another story I've got planned, but have yet to begin. Basically this is just your standard girl-with-broken-heart meets boy-who-really-likes-girl, right? I don't think so! There's a twist! But I can't just tell you what happens; that would spoil the whole thing! So you'll just have to read it and see for yourself! IT HAS BEEN UPDATED!!!!!!! *happy dance of joy* Ok, so right now, this is the only one I'm working on, but who knows? Enough reviews pushing me to update may just motivate me to get the rest of these cranked out!

Mage Twins: Trying to think of a better title, so lemme know... Anyway, this is fantasy, mainly coz it deals with Mages and spells and such. Yes, my wonderful readers, there WILL be romance in it...come on, didja think I'd REALLY do that to you guys ;-D It's kind of hard to do a detailed summary without spoiling it, so check out the regular summary, that's as much as I'm tellin' ya. I'm also trying to do longer chapters for this one, so let me know what y'all think. And review, please!! Thanks much. not the focus of my attention right now...maybe after UF is done... But these chapters are longer, and so it takes a bit of time to write... Thanks for understanding ;-D

Special note: If you're bored and looking for something good to read, check out my favs list...all the stories are on there for a reason, duh!

Another special note: feel free to email me any time, even just to chat. I love to chat with people! Just, do me a favor, and id yourself by whatever name you go by here on ficpress, so I know who I'm talkin to! ([email protected])

hmmm...I guess that's about it...I suppose I ought to go to sleep soon...nasty habit, staying up until 4am just because I can. Oh, well. Hope to see some of you in my Review Alert box! (and just drop me a line and I'll review your story too! I'm always looking for new stuff!)

~* Ok, this is a special lil thing I'm gonna put up here, just cause I got the idea and I wanna see what y'all think of it. See, I came up with this totally awesome quote with my friend, and I can't help wondering what the story behind it is. So here's what I was thinking:if you guys (whoever's reading this) could compose a short story about the quote (and include it somewhere in the story) and then email it to me, I'll post a compilation of all the stories I get (giving credit to the respective author, of course!! I wouldn't be that mean to you guys!)and each chapter would be a different story. Of course, you'd be welcome to post the story under your profile too, just please give me credit for the inspiration :-D. See, this way it's like free advertising for you guys. My reveiwers will check out your stuff, so everybody wins! I don't think this has ever been done before (that I know of) so please give me input!! Um...so, yeah. Here's the quote:

"As scholars, we are qualified to rub our chins and say 'hmmm' at various intervals."

So...what's going on here?? Who's speaking? To whom? Why? Let me know!! Thanks much!! ;-D (and to rightblinkleft, if you're reading this, thanks for the birthday message *grin*) BTW, you guys don't have to review a story just to talk to me. Email me on your own! I'd love to chat!! Thanks much! ;-D email: [email protected] also, let me know your penname or what you want to be called so I can put that as the chapter title. And send your friends!!

Over and Out,

~ goldring
