Heya, people of FanFiction.net! I have recently decided to write fanfiction for the love of anime and manga!

All you guys need to know is that I am a 20 year old straight female in college. There. Also, ALL OF MY STORIES ARE YAOI!

THIS PAGE IS IMPORTANT INFO PERTAINING TO ALL OF MY STORIES. (Things you should know are after the couple list.)

My favorite anime characters are Sabaku no Gaara, Uchiha Itachi (before they revealed his brother complex) and Hyuuga Neji from Naruto; Envy, Edward Elric and Pride from Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood; Hiei and Kurama from Yu Yu Hakusho: Ghost Files; Yohan Liebert from Monster; Kuchiki Byakuya, Ichimaru Gin, Hitsugaya Toshiro, Grimmjow, Ulquiorra, Captain Zaraki Kenpachi and Captain Kurotsuchi Mayuri from Bleach (if you don't know who these people are--shame on you, extreme shame); Gray, Natsu and Erza from Fairy Tail along with Yagami Light, L, Near, Beyond Birthday and Mello from Deathnote. My favorite characters basically consist of murderers, sadists, anti-heroes, villains, and generally moody characters; what can I say? I have a soft spot for characters like that... Cold, calculating characters are so... Just yum.

By the way, in my mind through a series of VERY biased conclusions and semi-justified glorification that Sabaku no Gaara is my favorite anime character right now. Sure, I admit there are more psychotic, further developed, ruthless, sadistic, violent and attractive characters up on my list, but for some completely inexpiable reason that has yet to be pinpointed and identified by the universe, Gaara is my number one. I love you Gaara-sama!

My favorite yaoi couples are as follows: (A/N: The first name is seme and second is uke. If roles are interchangeable, it will be written 1st - 2nd - 1st.) Explanations for liking such are next to each pairing.

Naruto

GaaNejiGaa (works either way. Only Neji can top Gaara. Doesn't need to have any realism to it. It's beautiful, that's why. I tried to connect them in my one-shot.)

GaaNaru (because Gaara so obviously worships the ground Naruto walks on)

NejiNaru (see above)

GaaSasu (Love-Hate theory. Rivals turned lovers in Gaara's story arch. Just because. And I don't care what you say; Sasuke screams uke. He's more of a whiny bitch than Naruto. Seriously. Any argument is invalid. I can't see an uke Gaara... except with Neji.)

Full Metal Alchemist

Envy/Edward (Envy is obsessive over Ed. Also, Envy is far too sadistic and power hungry to be uke; he would never submit to Ed. Just because he looks effeminate doesn't make him a default uke. Seriously, I can't be the only person on the planet of this opinion.)

Edward/Envy (simply because it's what's out there. Sometimes I find a good one. Sometimes. I plan to remedy this and show the world why Envy is a hot seme! But not until my other stories are done which won't be for quite some time.)

Roy/Ed (obvious sexual tension)

Death Note

L/Light/L (I have been swayed into Light as seme sometimes, but prefer seme!L. Totally made for each other.)

L/Near (...Just cute. Not valid, but simply adorable.)

Mello/Near/Mello (again, Near could work if developed in the right way; a calm, witty seme like L if done correctly. Love-Hate theory applies)

Beyond/L (Just 'cause. I know BB is supposed to hate L so it's never gonna happen, but I'd love to see BB as a sadistic seme and have L like it. Hell, I wrote a chapter of my DN story and called it 'The Love-Hate Theory'. Maybe I'll write one for these two. None exist thus far, at least not one strictly romance. Usually L being... treated badly. Or kidnapped.)

InuYasha

Sesshoumaru/Inuyasha (don't care about other characters and Sess is sexy. This is one of only three "cest" pairings I like UNLESS you wanna argue Envy and Ed... Which is a valid argument in both the '03 and Brotherhood releases, but I will actively ignore you.)

Fairy Tail

Natsu/Gray/Natsu (either as seme is fine. Love/hate thing. I really like this idea, don't I?)

Yu Yu Hakusho

Kurama/Hiei/Kurama (can work both ways. Kurama is smart and cunning, so I like him as seme, but Hiei could be one too if he wanted to.)

Vampire Knight

Kaname/Zero/Kaname (both good semes if they ignored that idiot Yuki. I don't hate her... She's an okay heroine, I just want to see Kaname and Zero make out instead of fight over her.)

Zero/Ichiru (IDK how it would come to be, but damn it I'd find a way! Maybe before they got all mad at each other and Zero still took care of Ichiru. Too hot to pass up. And I know; another cest.)

OHSHC

Hikaru/Kaoru/Hikaru (because their relationship is ADORABLE! the third and final cest I like.)

Normally, I'm not all too into cest, not even Elricest or Uchihacest. Just... no. But I don't mind plausible twincest. Like the last two. Because it's cute. I only like the three cest pairings listed above, otherwise I avoid it like the plague.

All you need to know is that I'm a blatant, open and damn proud otaku. What else can I say? I enjoy sarcasm and cynicism immensely and occasionally the fluffy crack-based fiction, but my stories will most likely be angsty. I am a full blown angst whore if the stories on my favorites list didn't tip you off. I like stories with realism... You know, stories that have believable characters with backgrounds that explain why a character reacts or behaves they way they do; a story needs a protagonist with people close to them who are hesitant to accept or sometimes completely disagree with their views and decisions... An easy example is sexual orientation: in reality friends and sometimes even family will disown and refuse to associate with homosexuals. (I have no such aversion; hell, I write yaoi for God's sake.) That harsh reality is necessary in good stories. I also like stories to be well planned. I have never written a story using someone else's characters before joining and I hope I do well in keeping Kishimoto-sensei's, Ohba-sensei's, Arakawa-sensei's, and Kubo-sensei's characters, well, in character. I don't mind slight OoC depending on the nature of the story... But I don't plan to heavily rely on it. I also write my stories for my pleasure and my pleasure alone. I will continue writing my stories whether other people review or not. (I guess that's a plus for lazy reviewers, huh?)

I don't really like writing stories in the anime-verses so I will have most of my stories take place in our reality. I do this usually because I have a better grasp on the world I (sadly) live in and so people unfamiliar with the story don't need to look up info on the show and characters to understand what's happening. I personally haven't watched Yu Yu Hakusho in ages and don't want to have to go remind myself of what happened in the show to understand and follow something that catches my interest. As such, I will not push the same burden on my readers. Besides, anime verse stories require you follow preset rules and in complex worlds like Yu Yu Hakusho or Naruto those rules are ENDLESS and pretty damn strict (excluding the occasional deus ex machina). There is no wiggle room... So I like to write AUs.

I will not--I repeat, WILL NOT--write vampire-oriented or sci-fi-based fiction (I hate vampires since stories involving them that are DONE WELL are few and far in between; As for sci-fi... I like it, but I'm just not good at setting a sci-fi atmosphere. They say "stick to what you're good at and don't do what you're not"; I wouldn't want to anally rape a genre I love just because it's not my talent). If you like either of those things I suggest you look elsewhere.

I will warn readers ahead of time at the top of the page when citrus will present itself; aren't I so nice? ALSO I HAVE WRITTEN A LEMON BUT I DON'T DO HETERO OR YURI LEMONS. I am a straight female, but I don't want to write about yuri sex or straight people sex. Straight people already know how straight people sex works and how straight people sex feels. ...It's boring. Why waste time doing that when I can go have sex with my boyfriend? If you want yuri sex, watch yuri anime or lesbian porn. You won't find it here. M/F and F/F pairings EXIST in my stories, but are NOT looked into much. Personally, I don't like worlds where every guy is bisexual or homosexual. It's unrealistic, even though I'd love a world like that.

I also don't take personal requests, collaborations or write yaoi pairings with male turned "fem" characters. (ex. Gaara and Fem!Naruto... Seriously, what the fuck? When you write yaoi it is supposed to have two males; if you can't stomach writing or reading it then don't ruin it for people that can. In my mind, you can severely alter any character as much as you please if feel it's necessary for your story, but don't disrespect the creator by fucking with their gender. To me that is the biggest insult you can make.) I also don't do pairings I despise. I don't care if God himself commands me; I will not write SasuNaruSasu. Everyone else writes tons of it, so I'll spend my time expanding on more obscure fandoms. Thanks a fucking lot, SasuNaruSasu. Fuck you guys and your PAINFULLY OBVIOUS sexual tension which I REFUSE to write about.

As a side note, [Anime Character] x OC stories annoy the hell out of me, so I don't do them. Keeping track of OCs is too confusing and If I do write an OC then they will have a separate story with no one else's pre-existing characters or they will be a minor side character with actual PLOT contributions. Keeping tabs on new characters is hard unless it's a crossover and I'm warned... I don't read a story because I like to be mindfucked; I read it to be entertained. ...Unless it's a Deathnote type of mindfuck; those hurt so good... Like "The Light in the Fifth Floor Bedroom" by Gaaras-Gothic-Ninja-Sappy-Sue... But even then it's not really a mindfuck, just something that requires you use your brain.

Most of my ideas keep characters at their anime/manga ages and as such are usually placed in a setting normal for that age group. I may make originally teenage characters 21 or 22 at most to legally place them in different settings... I might place them in underground clubs or something else different... Also, lets face it--reading about sex between anyone over the age of 25 just isn't hot... At least not to me. Besides, these are my fantasies and imaginings so to hell with what others think.

And if you hadn't noticed already I have no aversion to cursing. I know some people on here want to preserve their alleged "innocence" or simply disapprove; either get used to it or don't read. As I said this is my fun; I won't let your morals ruin it for me.

And a heads up; I have a blood fetish and I'm kind of sadomasochistic. Bondage and blood have a presence in my stories. CONSTANTLY. If it's not your cup of tea, I don't recommend drinking it. I will be writing blood-laced citrus; if you don't like it then don't read it. (And for those of you questioning my prior statement and are asking yourselves why I don't write a vampire fiction seeing as that would be an easy way to have a constant stream of bloody smut, then I have one word for you guys: Twilight. Need I say more? I think not; enough has been said by everyone else and I'm not to keen on redundancy.)

With all that being said, I love asylum fiction. Having been exposed to it, I know how it works and feel I can accurately depict the hatred and fears of people I might place in such an environment.

I also love smut as much as the next yaoi fangirl, but I do believe in that unholy concept known as plot. I don't care for one-shots too much... Don't get me wrong; I'm not saying there aren't any good ones--Silentz and Temari 88 have quite a few nice ones like "Dearest", "Chasm", "Hurt Me", "You are mine" and "Sex in a Battlefield." All of my stories will more than likely be multi-chapter. I only work on one or two stories at a time so as not to overwork myself and make false promises on when I update. I try to update whenever I have time but keep in mind I like to have a little leisure time to read stories by other authors, plus have a life to live (as much as I enjoy neglecting it my family insists I go out and physically interact with other humans... I shudder at the thought).

To people who choose to review: Thank you. It may not seem like it due to my brashness and blunt approach but your input is valued. Since I happen to hate it when writers plead with me to review or try play on my non-existent sympathies, I won't plead with people for reviews; even if I do it's up to you whether or not you feel something needs to be said (though please keep your criticism constructive and well-founded). Flamers can flame all they like; I find them rather entertaining... Why take the time to bitch about something when you know I will actively laugh at you? If anything they make my day better. I'm not doing this for them and flames only serve to remind me of that; I'm doing it for me and have been for years now. I just so happen to be nice enough to share it with you here on FanFiction.net.

Now that I've made all my rules clear and given you an idea on what to expect, either read on or go home.

I will try to update "Raising Hell" once a week. Same goes for "Even the Powerful are Powerless". Don't yell at me if I take a little longer; I give you guys 5-8k chapters... You're spoiled.

Ja ne!
