I'm coming over from fanfiction.net so bear with me here...

Hey, how the smurf are you? Thanks for checking out my profile. Here's a bit about myself:

Don't make me say my age. I've completed my Master's and I have a daughter in kindergarten. You do the math. I've been reading FanFic for a little while to hold me over until Breaking Dawn was released. I've read some really good stories and have worked up enough courage to finally post my own stories. Hope they're not too crappy. I started writing as a creative outlet. I was sucked into a couple of fics that, for one reason or another, didn't get updated fast enough for me or the writers just...stopped. SO, I wrote in order to create a HEA (that's happily ever after) to satisfy myself.

If you're looking for drama, you'll have to go elsewhere. I write humor, fluff, romance, and the occasional lemon. So far, my stories are all human, a little OOC, but hey, we have to give Steph's characters a little pizzazz, no? I also have new characters that I've created just for fun: Sabrina, Rylan, Coley, Hal, Eli.

My material is pretty light and fun, and I am UNAPOLOGETICALLY fluffy. Sorry, I don't mean to sound all mad about it, but the chief complaints about my fics are that they aren't drama- or angst-filled enough for some readers, but if you check the category I assign my fics, it says Romance and Humor--read FLUFF, mostly because I write when I'm happy. And I write to unwind, usually after everyone has gone to bed. That's my downtime. Also, a lot of what I put in my stories is based on real stuff that's happened to me and/or friends. I'll usually note true story when that occurs. My life is actually pretty boring, but you know what? Boring is good in that I don't have to deal with much drama. Anyhoo, I'm especially happy when I get reviews, obviously nice ones. I'd write the stories for myself anyway, but reading reviews really gets me inspired to write more, write faster, and, therefore, update quicker (hint, hint). I am convinced, however, that there are little gnomes in FF that, once I post a chapter no matter how many times I've spell-checked, go and flip flop letters in random words just to mess with me. Seriously. So if you see a really silly typo occasionally, that's why XD

Anyhoo, my husband has called me a cult leader for getting so many of my friends addicted to the Twilight series. But I always respond with "Hey, there are people out in the world killing and selling drugs and starting stupid wars that we can't get out of. I'm only reading books. It's harmless fun." Well isn't it?

Team Edward or Team Jacob? Duh! Team Edward of course, though I have a new appreciation for Jacob since finishing Breaking Dawn.

Other fun facts:

I'm married, which gives me lot's of good writing material. I've actually told the hubs, who does keep my arctic cold feet warm, he's no Edward Cullen, and he knows Rob Pat is on my laminated list. Yes, Shannon Elizabeth is on his (rolls eyes). It's all good.

I have a five year old (turned five in August 2009) giving me even more antics to draw from.

I DO own a Slap Chop...and "you're gonna love my nuts!"

I love Seinfeld. I quote from it daily.

Diddy is very real. He was my Boston Terrier and he is a stinker, literally. (a friend of mine, no not Hal, took him in and he is doing splendidly!) I also have a basset hound.

I HAD a Western Box turtle which I'd named Jasper Hale --you know because he was so chill. Unfortunately, Jasper Hale, the turtle, died in January. He went into permanent hibernation. (sigh)

I am a zoo keeper, well, at least I feel like one.

I've never run in a marathon, but I imagine it's torture.

Authors I like (besides the obvious, Steph Meyer): Sophie Kinsella, John Grisham, Bill Bryson, and J.K Rowling. They're all geniuses.

Any questions or comments, just shoot me a PM. I may not reply to my reviews as often and consistently as I'd like, BUT I'll definitely respond if you PM me. Oh, if you have any constructive criticism in your review, please don't leave it anonymously as I REALLY would like to reply, and I usually do if I can. I accept anonymous reviews because I get that readers don't necessarily have an account or have time to log in (I guess) but give me a chance to respond to you because I'm OCD like that and won't be able to sleep otherwise. Really.
