I thought it would be helpful to post some introduction questions! Some of you know each other through other boards and things, but here are some ffic specific questions for you. If you would like to comment on someone's introduction, please do so in the Intro Comments Thread. Name(s) under which you write fic:Age (optional/approximate): Fics/pairings you write:Fics/pairings you enjoy:Something you've always wanted to write/see written?Other creative activities you engage in? (fanart, RPing, etc) Do you enjoy cowriting? Remixes? Are you open to engaging in projects with others? Other places you post your fics/hang out online? (livejournal, ffic.net, etc) If you could change something about how fanfiction is written/read online, what would it be? What would your ideal reception for your fics be?
(e.g. "I would love it if I had more comments" or "I would love to live in a flame-free world" or "I would love it if I could totally pwn the universe with every fic!")

Name(s) under which you write fic: msmustang, priestess_grrrl (main LJ), sea_priest3ss (fic LJ) Age (optional/approximate): as my sempai and I like to say, "older than Gundam" Fics/pairings you write: FMA: Roy/Ed, Roy/Hughes; Loveless: Ritsuka/Soubi; Saiyuki: Hakkai/Gojyo. WIPs include a Loveless/FMA crossover on LJ, fma_faithless, and a Loveless fic I'm cowriting with dusk_eyed, Unrestrained. Fics/pairings you enjoy: All of the ones I write, plus I like everything from Saiyuki except Sanzo/Goku (don't fuck the monkey!). I'll read Jean/Roy from FMA, sometimes I'll read Kio/Soubi from LL if I really like the author. I love teh crack. There's never enough of it. I particularly like Daen RoyxEd doujins. In non-anime I like some Harry Potter slash pairings, mostly Harry/Draco and Remus/Sirius. Something you've always wanted to write/see written? I really REALLY want to write Loveless/Saiyuki, or even Loveless/FMA/Saiyuki. Sanzo/Soubi would be um, SOFUCKINGHOT! Some day it will happen. I really always wanted to write Kenshin/Sano, too, and there's SO not enough of that to go around. And Franz/Albert from Gankutsuo. They are so hot. Why is there not more of that? Other creative activities you engage in? (fanart, RPing, etc) Just general fangirlishness. I run a local Harry Potter fanclub at expectopatronvm.com. Do you enjoy cowriting? Remixes? Crossovers? Are you open to engaging in projects with others? I do enjoy cowriting and I LOVE crossovers, but remixes kind of scare me. And I don't RP, mostly just cuz I'm afraid it will suck up my life as it has in the past. Other places you post your fics/hang out online? (livejournal, ffic.net, etc) I do LJ even though there are things about it that irritate me. I have several LJ comms, including one especially for emo fangirls. If you could change something about how fanfiction is written/read online, what would it be? What would your ideal reception for your fics be? Yes, I would love it if I could totally pwn the universe with every fic. But mostly I would really like a place where my fics didn't have a halflife of 30 seconds like on livejournal. I really hate that you get one shot to post and that's it. If everyone happens to be off watching Naruto that evening, that's it for you. I get comments the night of and MAYBE the next day, but that's it. WTF with that? That just totally sucks. My ideal reception for my fics would be a multitude of intelligent, heartfelt comments every time, and then for my fics to remain visible so new people can find, read and comment on them. Hence I'm excited about this forum...! ;D

Name(s) under which you write fic: Perendur everywhere cause no one knows what the hell it is so it's never taken ;D There's another one, under which I've written LOTS of fics in multiple fandoms, but that one's undisclosed. You can ask me, and I'll consider whether I tell you or not Age (optional/approximate): Mid-twenties Fics/pairings you write: HughesxRoy, HavocxRoy and now HohenheimxHavoc from FMA, other fandoms I've explored are Yami no Matsuei, Saint Seiya, Harry Potter and Card Captor Sakura. Not all of it was romance and all of it was under that other taboo name XD Fics/pairings you enjoy: HughesxRoy, HavocxRoy, HohenheimxHavoc, KimbleexArcher, KimbleexAny victim from FMA, TatsumixTsuzuki from Yami no Matsuei, TouyaxYukito from CCS, DoumekixWatanuki from Holic, KuroganexFai from TRC, RemusxSirius from Harry Potter, LoganxRemy from Xmen, HousexWilson from House MD and a gazillion more I can't remember now. Something you've always wanted to write/see written? I love redemption fics, and corruption/redemption fics, that means, exploring the humanity of a bad guy with redemptive potential, or the corruption of a good guy and their eventual redemption. I make no sense, I know. Other creative activities you engage in? (fanart, RPing, etc) I've tried fanart, I still persist some times, but I suck, and I RP to my heart's content. Do you enjoy cowriting? Remixes? Are you open to engaging in projects with others? The type of RPing that I do is pretty much co-writing, so yeah, I like that, but when a baby (i.e= fic) is mine, I don't like other's touching it. Not sure of what Remixes are ^^;; Other places you post your fics/hang out online? (livejournal, ffic.net, etc) Livejournal and ff.net, same user name, and the RP board. If you could change something about how fanfiction is written/read online, what would it be? What would your ideal reception for your fics be? I'd love for it to be taken more seriously, from both the readers and the writers. When done correctly, it's an art form. Even Shakespeare took other people's stories and reinvended them. Some of us are putting on a great effort into something we love, to do it the best we can, and I'd like for it to be respected a bit more. I hate it when people mock the fanfic writers that "think about themselves as true writers", we write, we are writers.

Name(s) under which you write fic: "Rowan and Sakura" at ff.net and now at skyehawke :: archive as well (though I haven't gotten any of my stories up there yet)
Age (optional/approximate): 18 (apparently...I'm young oO)
Fics/pairings you write: FMA: Ed/Al, Russell/Ed; YuGiOh!: Seto/Jou, Seto/Yami, Yami/Honda, Honda/Otogi, Bakura/Ryou, Jou/Ryou, Honda/Jou, Yami/Jou, Seto/Honda, Bakura/Yami; InuYasha: InuYasha/Miroku; YuYu Hakusho: Kurama/Hiei, Hiei/Yusuke. Yusuke/Kurama, Yusuke/Koenma, Yusuke/Kuwabara, Hiei/Kuwabara; Death Note: Light/L
Fics/pairings you enjoy: All the above, and these others: FMA: Russell/Fletcher, Al/Fletcher, Roy/Ed, Maes/Roy, Roy/Havoc, Havoc/Fuery; YuGiOh: Bakura/Yugi, Jou/Yugi, Bakura/Jou, Bakura/Seto; InuYasha: Sesshomaru/InuYasha, Sesshomaru/Mikroku, InuYasha/Kouga; Harry Potter: Draco/Harry, Remus/Sirius
Something you've always wanted to write/see written? Oh, I'm sure there's something...*thinks* Well, for a long while it was Yami/Honda, but then I ended up writing some, so...I suppose I'd really like to see a Russell/Fletcher multi-chapter when they're actually of age. Most works that i've read are with Fletcher usually underage in a one-shot. And there's an idea in the back of my head that screams to be written. And another thing that will send me to Hell for certain is...an EdxReligious!AlwithpastEdxAlfonsandeventualEdrapingAl...all while Ed's 18 and Al's 13/14 >.>;;;
Other creative activities you engage in? (fanart, RPing, etc) RPing like whoa right now D= I think they're out to kill me...and I'm letting them! x___X
Do you enjoy cowriting? Remixes? Are you open to engaging in projects with others? No idea what remixes are, never cowrote anything with anyone before, but I'm always willing to try
Other places you post your fics/hang out online? (livejournal, ffic.net, etc): LJ- rowanandsakura (but I rarely post things there); ff.net- where everything goes. And stays. And rots. @@; skyehawke :: archives- just got an author account there, where revised stories shall go ^^
If you could change something about how fanfiction is written/read online, what would it be? What would your ideal reception for your fics be? One thing that I would change about how fanfiction is written/read online is the literacy of the authors/reviewers. I would wish for all authors to have the gift of spelling and grammar; I would wish that reviewers would have a greater vocabulary extending past "zomg" "I luved this!" and "update soon!" And that they would know when and when not to use that last phrase: one-shot *means* one-shot *means* no damn updates. EVER. And that be my ff.net rant, apparently...

Name under which you write fic:Bitterfig
Age: 35
Fics/pairings you write and/or enjoy: I write in quite a few anime/manga fandoms, Gravitation, Tokyo Babylon/X, Loveless, Revolutionary Girl Utena and Fruits Basket as well as Harry Potter. I write mainly yaoi but recently I've been writing more yuri and some het/gen. Everything I write tends to be dark, pessimistic and angst laden so I enjoy reading and writing pairings that are sick and wrong as well as rare and unusual pairings. Some of my favorites include Eiri/Tohma in Gravitation, Lupin/Greyback and Snape/Voldemort, Sirius Black/Regulus Black in Harry Potter, Soubi/Ritsu and Soubi/Seimei in Loveless and Sumeragi Subaru/Sakurazuka Seishiro from Tokyo Babylon/X. I tend to be a bit nicer to my female characters. Favorite yuri pairings are Kouya/Yamato in Loveless, Luna Lovegood/Tonks, the Black sisters, Fleur/Tonks, Luna/Cho, anyone and Gabrielle in Harry Potter and Mika/Noriko in Gravitation. Anthy/Utena and Utena/Wakaba and Juri/Shiori (well, that one is angsty) in Revolutionary Girl Utena.
Something you've always wanted to write/see written?: Kamikaze Girls and Ghost World yuri. Dorothy/Ozma from the Wizard of Oz.
Other creative activities you engage in? I do some art as well as my writing and I keep a personal live journal.
Do you enjoy cowriting? Remixes? Are you open to engaging in projects with others? I don't work well with others.
Other places you post your fics/hang out online?: I've tried a few other places but mainly I post of livejournal these days.
If you could change something about how fanfiction is written/read online, what would it be? What would your ideal reception for your fics be?: I've been writing fan fiction for about 10 months and I've been very pleased with my reception for the most part though I've had a few ugly incidents. One of my stories was "rec'ed" on a web-site called god awful fan fiction and I really dislike it that places like that exist. My fandom philosophy is pretty much "live and let live". If I start reading a story and I don't care for it I move on. If someone likes it good for them and good for the author for writing something and having the guts to put it out there. There's no need to try and make yourself seem clever by denigrating someone else's efforts.

Names under which you write fic Dusk_Eyed and occasionally DuskEyed if the forum doesn't allow an under score Age This many? Okay, 43. *sigh* Fic/Pairings you write Loveless - Ritsuka/Soubi (occasionally Soubi/Ritsuka), Saiyuki - Hakkai/Gojyo, but I'm considering Hakkai/Sanzo/Gojyo or permutations thereof and I did write one fluffy Sanzo/Goku. Bleach - Ishida/Ichigo or vice versa Fics/Pairings you enjoy How much time do you have? Seriously, I can be pretty eclectic with my pairings. The ones above are my favorite. also read FMA - Roy/Ed, HP - Harry/Draco (or vice versa) Bleach - Byakuya/Renji, Ai no Kusabi - Iason/Riki Something you've always wanted to write/have written: I'd like to write a solo multi chaptered fic that doesn't crack like an egg 3 chapters in. Do you enjoy co-writing, remixes, are you open to projects with others: yes, I'm co-writing right now with the fabulous msmustang, I've signed up for remixredux and I'm participating in a springkink fest as well. other creative activities you've engaged inat various times I've rpg'd but i'm not now. I also do digital art, like layouts, wallpapers and so on. I can't draw for spit though. other places you post your fic, hang out onlinelivejournal under dusk_eyed is the major place that I can be found. I have an account at "The Archive at the End of the Universe" thanks to a friend but I haven't gotten round to doing anything with it just yet If you could change something about how fanfiction is written/read online, what would it be? What would your ideal reception for your fics be?Well, to begin with, as a reader, I'd require all writers/betas to pass a basic spelling and grammar test. I include betas in that since I've seen supposedly beta'd work that still had glaring errors. Secondly, I'd wish that all writers actually had some understanding of their characters beyond omg, he/she is so hot. As a writer, I think that I'd love to get more exposure and then more comments for what I write. I recently posted something that I am assured doesn't suck, but still no comments to speak of. That made me seriously doubt myself as a writer and that wasn't a fun experience
