With friends like these...

Hallo to abarero , corvyie and kenichi_bokushi from the friending memes I've been derping around on. There don't seem to be many of them going around these days or at least I tend to know most of the people I'd want to know off them O_o

Well, this is my journal and welcome to it, I do hope you'll enjoy following me. A couple of links that might interest you are my fandoms and ships, and my contact details, feel free to add me on anything just make sure you let me know before you do. I have way too much trouble with stalkers and I don't want any more.

I'm 22, English, usually up at all hours. I love to write. Most of what you'll find here is fanfictions, usually (if not always) Hetalia, but they're always under a cut so you don't have to read them if you don't want to. Occasionally I'll post stuff that's going on in my life, from random things to more serious stuff that I don't expect a reply to but input is always nice. I also photospam now and then, when I go to places where I take my camera, or if it's a nice day and there's flowers in the garden.

I love reading, and can derp about books all day given the opportunity. Fantasy is the main genre that I look into but I have been known to stray out of it. University put me off period novels for the rest of my life. I am also a total history nerd (thank you, Hetalia). I like dragons, and I have a fondness for things with the Union Jack on them. I also like snowglobes. Why? I don't know, I just do.

Enjoy your stay! :D

What I love: Dragons, thunderstorms, scuba diving, photography, drawing, writing, reading, open fires, steampunk fashion, my dog, thick jumpers, hugs, gardening, video games, philosophy, mythology, the occult.
What I hate: Drunk people, 'talent' shows, soap operas, having my personal space invaded, being ignored, bees, wasps, spiders, root beer, being cold, writer's block, public speaking, adverts that make no sense, crowds, calling customer care lines.
What makes me glee: Surprise presents, sparkly things, happy endings, holidays, seeing my favourite people come online.
What makes me rage: People who go on and on even when they have no idea what they're talking about, political and religious extremists, being accused of 'sulking', people who 'brb' then don't come back, bullies, willful ignorance, mindless patriotism, sexism, racism, homophobia, liars, psychic vampires.

A little more about me: I am a very strong-minded and stubborn person, always willing for a debate but may your god help you should you try to force your views on me. I am atheist, bisexual, pro-choice, and quite unpatriotic (but that doesn't mean you can bash my country in front of me, it's still my country damnit). I am 21 years old, nearing 22, still living for free at my mum's house, in university just beginning a Masters Degree in creative writing.

I am the kind of person who is very easy to get along with and easy to trust, and I like to think I make a good friend. In terms of my journal, well, I don't mind if you comment, or even if you read it, though I would hope you would since you friended me =P I don't tend to comment on a journal unless it relates to me directly or is something I feel strongly about, but I do check my flist periodically. Usually, I'm up late, so if you message me, you're likely to get a reply.

Please do add me on messenger if you wish °w°

First of all, hullo to unsafebet , rozarinnn , kaiyashe , misdre , isakana , yingyang_700 , ecchipiro , ishilde , arafs , and lifesareverie (oh my God I am such a memewhore). I'd like to invite any of you (except rozarinnn, who already has <3) to add me on messenger or Twitter if you like (info here), I'm always after new people to talk to~

On to the introductions... My name is Fiona and I'm a 21 year old English university graduate with a degree in English literature and creative writing (grade pending...). As detailed in my post on the friending meme my fandoms are vocaloids, Sherlock Holmes, internet sites (Facebook, Google, Twitter.. I would be happy to explain this..) the Bible, The Vampire Chronicles, Harry Potter Founders/Marauders, anything by David Eddings, H.P. Lovecraft, and Tolkien. I also like Family Guy, Ghost in the Shell, Rebirth (Korean manhwa), Fushigi Yuugi, With the Light, Fallout 3, Assassin's Creed 2, Bayonetta, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, Studio Ghibli (especially Howl's Moving Castle) and The Dragonriders of Pern.

I read and write a lot. I mostly write Hetalia usxuk fanfics but I've been looking into other pairings/characters. Suggestions are always welcome!

Um, I like gardening, and being outdoors in general, but I don't like crowds, or getting up early so I don't get the chance to go out that much as I don't drive. I have a tendency to pick up hobbies then drop them (like playing the guitar, and learning braille, both of which I want to start up again...). I also do a lot of amateur (very amateur) photography which you can look at on my deviantART.

I spend a lot of time asleep. I like sleep. When I'm not asleep I'm on the internet, so prompt replies to comments are almost always guaranteed.

... ^_^;

And now, onto other things.

I seem to have given myself a lot of work to do over the summer, mostly fic-related. I still need to finish my sequel to At The End of All Things and then I have plans to write a series of meetings between Arthur and Horatio Nelson. Thanks to a comment in the friending meme I also want to do the same with Tino and Simo Häyhä (famous Finnish sniper). I also have an AU usxuk fic planned and several fics still unfinished (GAH).

In addition to that, I have plans to write a re-spin of the traditional Cinderella story, but with the gender roles reversed (beautiful princess and servant boy). I think this is going to require some work as there's going to be a lot of things I need to change, and I want to bring in more elements from pre-Perrault versions of the story.

Ho hum.

For anyone wondering about the 'internet sites' thing, this is the reasoning;

I totally ship Facebook/Google. Ohyes. =3
