About
Somewhere in the winter of 2006, I started writing fanfiction again. Hot of the heels of NaNoWriMo, I had a burning desire to write fanfiction. During the month of November, I had been tormented by many an idea that I could not devote myself to because I had a novel to complete.
As it turned out, I didn't finish the novel by the end of the month. Sure, I went past 50,000 words, but the novel was still incomplete, and I still wanted to write fanfiction.
Somewhere in that, I got the idea of creating what would be a hopefully permanent archive for my writing. This is it.
Updates
Burning desire or no, I still write like a slug. That is, I write extremely slowly unless there happens to be something motivating me. Reviews and adoration do not count as motivation; I tend to brush those off. Now, someone with a chainsaw telling me to write or I'll get disemboweled... That's motivation. Not good motivation, but motivation nonetheless.
I procrastinate. Every year that I've done NaNo (Two), I've scraped up most (More than 50%) of the novel in less than a wekk. I always, always, always wait until the last minute. I hate deadlines, but I kind of need one to get anything done.
I'd make a great politician.
What i write
I will write nearly anything. In fanfiction, I will almost write any pairing that exists, should the prompt come up. I dislike very few pairings, and I'm still willing to write those as well. There's very little I'm not willing to write, and at the moment, nothing even comes to mind.
In original fiction, the sky's the limit. While I mainly stick to fantasy, I find myself deviating towards contemporary and mystery once in a while as well. Likewise, except to find a little bit of everything in my original works. I don't hold myself back most of the time, and it probably will be there, even if you have to squint to see it.
Me, myself, and I
Eh, I'm boring. I'm usually known as Laronmi on-line, although you may see me as Shonoshi Akumu as well. My Mare Serenitatis alias is pretty much dead.
I am an idealistic dreamer who believes in such things as universal kindness and goodwill. For the record, I am a type 3 enneagram INFP. Basically, that means I'm a narcissist who has a high set of morals and standards and has a tendency to care too much. I dislike conflict and tend to avoid it whenever possible. Actually, it's a lot more than that, but I don't feel like getting into psychology at the moment.
I do not plan on being a writer full time when I 'grow up.' I think I'd kill myself if that happened. As much as I love to write, writing full-time is not something that meshes well with me. Unless it's textbook writing. I might be fine then. I plan on majoring in Chinese, which is my mother tongue, despite my having forgotten 97% of it, and possibly learning French, Japanese, and/or Korean. I plan on working as a translator/interpreter, which would put my writing skills to good use anyway.
I have a love for science as well, namely planetary astronomy, geology, and nuclear physics. If I find myself hating translation, I'll probably go try to get a job in NASA.
I also have a not-so secret love for acting and singing, and can do both decently. Nothing's ever going to come out of that, though.
