My name is Elena and I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

I'm 20 years old, and Im at University in the career Advertising.

Up til now I've written these stories: The Asian Visitor, Danger Girl, Cephiro Chronicles, the one-shot Vulnerable, A Weekends Observations and Riding with the King.

My opinion: (I'm warning you, it IS my opinion) when wiritng a story:

There's not much to say. One should be able to write his/hers stories as he/she sees fit and no one should have the nerve to flame them about that. Flames are rude and cruel. But I do believe in giving advices, since I myself appreciate advices given to me. Personally, I write in this website to try and get better at my English, so I need reviews that tell me how I'm doing. I've been flamed, which i accept even if it stung, and I think there are better ways to say the things you deslike; I appreciate advices and tips, but rudeness is out of the question.

I like stories of even development. Stories that advance too fast may loose susprise factor in the basis of the reader not having time to be stricken with awe, so that is something to be careful about. I'm not saying make cliff every chapter or two, but once in a while helps keep interest ;P

I'm not into judging someone else's OCs, but I think one should try to make it so that the story is, at the least, readable. I've read some stories just impossible to bear, because the OCs were so annoying! I'm not saying mine are perfect, I know, but, c'mon!

I have no problem with Mary Sues as long as there is a valid reason for their existence. Don't just pop them out of nowhere, please! Neither do I have any special requirements about particular series' fanfictions. One should be free to do what he/she wants. I read just about anything anyway, and as long as it is well written I praise it.

But I have to say, authors that completely change characters and stories just so what they wanted to happen does to the point where the character is unrecognizable make me sick. I may sometimes make my character OOC, but they're still the same person. Respect the story, respect the character, respect the author. I will hold no concessions to something of the kind. I don't accept it and that's it.

C.S.Lewis would be rolling around in his grave knowing people write incest about his characters. He was a Anglican homophobe, people. Incest is not only illegal, it's immoral. Same goes for FullMetal Alchemist, and Trigun and everything ELSE.

Favourite mangas: Clamp's MKR, CCS, Clover, xxxHolic. Then there's Trigun and Trigun Maximum, FullMetal Alchemist, Evangelion, Houshin Engi, Hellsing, Samurai Champloo,Trinity Blood, Bleach, Chrno Crusade, Blade of the Immortal, Vagabond, Hana Kimi, Red River (Anatolia Story), D.Gray-Man, Blood+. Hm,Imight be forgetting some. I read, as I said anything that is good in art and story. I also enjoy american comics: Batman, Ultimate Fantastic Four, Ultimates, Runaways, Thor, MetalMen (2007), Fables, Superman/Batman.

Favourite animes: Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, Escaflowne, Rurouni Kenshin (mostly OVAs), FL CL, Escaflowne, Code Geass, Ergo Proxy, GunGrave, Heat Guy J. Movies: SteamBoy, Mononoke Hime, Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi (AKA Spirited Away), Howl's Moving Castle, Vampire Hunter D, Laputa: Castle in the Sky.

Hobbies: Reading, writing, drawing, sleeping, watching movies or going to the cinema, sleeping, sailing, fencing, sleeping.

Favourite books: hmm, so many, so many... let's see. His Dark Materials series, Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series, The Count of MonteCristo, The Three Musketeers, NightWatch, Voracious as the Sea, jumper (UNlike the horrible movie, it's good), Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, Chronicles of Narnia, Rage Against the Moons series, Capitan Alatriste series (HORRIBLE movie), Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Bourne Identity series, Anne Rice's books, The Name of the Rose, Master and Commander series, and so, so many more.

Um, that's a wrap. Thanks for reading!
