Hello everyone! I'm Julia, but I'm commonly known as Firechick12012 or just Firechick or Juliko in various other forums and fandoms.

Also, a little heads up: I don't use trigger warnings for my stories. Never have, and I don't see why I need to now. The rating system is there for a reason. Don't ask me to put any TWs up on my fics. I will post a general content warning if certain scenes have sensitive content, but that's as far as it goes. Personally, I find trigger warnings to be patronizing, condescending, and insulting to one's intelligence, not much of a help at all. If certain content discomforts you, feel free to PM me about it so we can have a discussion about it. However, if you're going to berate me and personally attack me for not using TWs, going so far as to claim I HAVE to use TWs or I'm a heartless, evil person who doesn't care about anyone, you will be ignored. I don't tolerate that kind of crap.
