I am an avid reader, but I am no writer.

I like reading fanfiction and novels, drawing, bird-watching, listening to music, sleeping and relaxing in silence and solitude.

I prefer to follow stories and favourite them when I can truly get a grasp of the story. (In other words, usually a few chapters in or until it's finished). Please don't be offended!

Things I appreciate of writers and stories:

- Legible/understandable writing. I do not mind some spelling mistakes/grammatical errors. No one is perfect. I rather someone write simply than to not know their own language level.

- Clear ratings. I read all ratings, but it'd good to get a heads-up (I can't stand too much gore).

- Clear pairings. There are some pairings I absolutely refuse to read, so if there a story is tagged romance but has no clear-cut pairing, I tend to wait until the finish to read/judge/favourite. It's really disheartening to read a fanfic hoping for a certain pair to end up together, only to turn out as your hated pairing. I read for pleasure, and that is not a pleasure at all. I do not object to others supporting such pairings, but do not expect me to do so. I hate infidelity stories, and only read the occasional threesomes.

- Completed stories. First, change the status when a story is done, it helps with filtering. Second, I would appreciate a complete story over one left hanging anyday. If you don't wish to continue, then write "Discontinued" in the summary and change the status to "complete". I admire writers that finish what they start, and persevere to the end.

My favourite pairings (those I particularly like, I have too many to note down, and no one reads this anyway):

Generally speaking, CLAMP Pairings are mostly to my tastes, with a few exceptions.

- Seishirou {Sakurazuka} x Subaru {Sumeragi} - My number one pairing forever! (TB, X & TRC)

- Syaoran {Li} x Sakura {Kinomoto} - I like the TRC version more, honestly (CCS & TRC)

- Fuuma {Monou} x Kamui {Shirou} - With a little less blood, if possible (X & TRC)

- Kurogane x Fai D. Fluorite - (TRC)

- Touya {Kinomoto} x Yukito {Tsukishiro} - (CCS, TRC)

- Lantis x Hikaru Shidou - (MKR)

- Clef x Umi Ryuuzaki - (MKR)

- Prince Ferio x Fuu Hououji - (MKR)

- Zagato x Princess Emeraude - (MKR)

- Suoh Takamura x Nagisa Azuya - (CSD)

- Shuichiro Kudo x Kohaku - (Wish & Kobato)

...and so on.

Pairings I cannot tolerate, or only accept in very very small doses:

Subaru x Kamui (Seriously, they have a lovely brotherly/sisterly friendship, why ruin it?! I have zero tolerance for this pairing.)

Sasuke & Sakura (It's canon, but I don't like it much.)

Hibari x Tsuna (1827 is a big no-no, 2718 is alright though, but 6918 is the top pairing)

Kaiba x Joey (Where did this one even come from? It always seems funny.)
