Sooooooooooooooooooooo... this post is WAY overdue. Seriously. I've always been more of a lurker on livejournal rather than an avid poster. I mean, I still haven't even figured out the site completely after, what, almost a year? How lame is that? xD
I guess I'm going to try and be more active with actually posting things. I write short stories and fanfiction and roleplay somewhat frequently, but mostly keep everything to myself. Part of my issue is that I don't have any betas. If anybody is interested, I'd probably LOVE YOU FOREVER. In the past (like four years ago or something) I wrote Fruits Basket (Don't laugh) and Prince of Tennis (You're laughing). Now I'm all gung-ho for Harry Potter. In the last couple of years I've probably read so much Harry Potter fanfiction it's ridiculous. Gah. I wonder how many hours I've dedicated to fanfic? I don't want to even think about it!
Me? I'm your average teenage girl. Except not. My mom says I need to act more my age. I guess I should, but it's not easy when I've got to go to school (I'm currently participating in the Running Start program and applying to a 4-year Uni for vet. med.), go to work, attend extracurricular activities, do chores around the house, volunteer, help raise my two younger siblings, and finish hours of homework. Needless to say, I have time management issues. And a lot of the time I do have left, I spend it all by reading! If only I could earn money from fanfic. I'd probably be a millionaire by now.
I'm considering starting up a rec page for myself based on all of my favorite pairings. There's a lot of different fics out there, and a lot of the time I lose some of my favorites just because I forget where they're located. If anybody's interested, I'd really appreciate it if you could send me the link to your own favorite stories or rec pages or communites (I have the hardest time locating communities. I'm, like, communty mentally challenged). I read all sorts of different pairings. My current favorites are: ASS, Harry/Scorpius, and Teddy/James (And Teddy/Albus, I just haven't actually read that many yet). That doesn't mean I still don't love the classics. Drarry was my fist OTP. Snarry introduced me to age gaps and all sorts of different little twits. Harry/Ron is sweet and touching. Harry/Cedric is tragic and very much like a car wreck: you can't help but watch, or in this case, read. I even enjoy the occasional Harry/Sirius or Harry/Lupin. I've even found myself dabbling in the weirder pairings, such as Harry/Lucius or Harry/Fred/George. Mostly it all depends upon the story line. If it sounds interesting, I'll probably read it. Though.... I'm not a huge fan of het in fanfiction. Call me a perv. Whatever. xP
By now you're probably wondering when I'll start rambling and get to the specifics. So I'll put you out of your misery: I live in the US near the Pacific Coast. I'm a fairly social person, but I'm shy so I don't go out of my way to meet new people (which is why I hardly ever post anywhere. I'm working on that ><). My username Sveinity is derived from one of my characters. His name is Svein and happens to be one of the vainest characters I have ever created. And one of the coolest. Thus, I did a little play on works and BAM: sveinity. I have a mother, a stepfather, and a father. I have four half siblings, all of which are younger than me, but I only live with two. I'm a huge-ass nerd and very opinionated about that fact. I read manga and fanfiction, and watch anime and Asian Dramas. There's no possible way I COULDN'T be a nerd. Don't make fun of me. xD I'm also pretty serious about my education. Since I'm in running start, I should be receiving my AA this summer. I'm hoping to become a Veterinarian. Only six or seven more years of school to go. *sweat drop* What else? I can't really think of anything at the moment. If you've got any further questions about me, please please please feel free to drop me a comment.
