Here it is!

And if you'd like to play, comment and I'll pick three user pics and three interests for you to tell everyone and their brother (or sister) about.

These are my three, assigned by hcolleen:

Interests (technically really only two since writing fanfic and writing poetry could be considered the same thing, but I'm treating them as separate)

1. Anime -- I became a convert to the wonderful world of anime quite by accident and have NEVER regretted it. I happened to be watching CN late one Saturday night and an episode of Ruroini Kenshin came on. I was intrigued, so I watched... and the rest, as they say, is history.

The great thing about anime is that I have made some wonderful friends on-line, some of whom I will be meeting in 9 days!!!

2. Writing Fanfic -- I actually started writing fanfic back in 2001 (though I didn't know then that this is what it was called). I began by writing several poems and stories for the Horatio Hornblower fandom, even collaborating with two other fans on a 'pass the pen' story that one of them had started. Once I began to be serious about anime, I started writing in that fandom, and now concentrate solely in that arena (mostly Yu Yu Hakusho).

3. Writing Poetry -- I'd actually done this back in high school (don't we all?!?!) and even had a teacher send some of my work to several magazines for publication (though to my knowledge nothing ever came of it). And though I have written a chapbook manuscript of poetry in recent years (unpublished), my main focus lately seems to be in the realm of haiku (which I've discovered that I love to write).

Pics/Avatars



Those of you who know me, know that this beautiful boi is my favorite character from Yu Yu Hakusho -- Kurama. I like this picture, not only because of the way he's tossing his red mane, but also because he's dressed in a military style uniform.


Oftentimes, I will find a particular picture or someone (and you know who you are blueutopiah) will post a picture or a weblink to pictures that will inspire me to write. This is one of those pics. And though I'm sure it's not readable here, the haiku beneath the picture of 'white angel' Kurama and 'black angel' Hiei (the other character I write) is mine.


I call this one 'Kurapica in White Shirt'. Kurapica is a character in the anime HunterxHunter, which thanks to blueutopiah I have been fortunate enough to see. Kurapica, in many ways, reminds me of Kurama. But I suppose that's only natural, given that they are the creations of Yoshiro Togashi; though I'm not sure Togashi-san meant them to be so similar. I find Kurapica to be honorable and courageous yet at the same time, sad and somewhat a loner, which is how I find Kurama... and really, Hiei as well. I suppose I'm drawn to these type of characters which is why I particularly like these three.

And as you probably noticed, ALL three of these pics are of beautiful bois; and two of them are somewhat provocative! Yes, I have succumbed to the 'dark side'.... In Yaoi I lust!!!!
