Just saying HI!!!

[Neon_Fantasy]

Hi everyone!! I haven't actually been as far as to look past all the GW fanfic forums and I'm disappointed that I hadn't been down here sooner *slaps self* Oh well, I'm here now lol. I have actually been around for quite a while now but I never really posted until now. I only just started with my "Don't Push Me Away" fic, it's my first fic as well which is why it's pretty bad lol.

Hmm, what to say about myself... Nothing much to say since I'm just boring lol. Well I was born in Australia, although I'm half filippino from my mother. I have three younger brothers *gasps* Yes and they really get on my nerves sometimes but I love them deep down like anyone would for their siblings hehe (most of the time anyway...) ^_^ I love my anime!!! I would die without it, same with my computer as well hehehe. Although my favourite all time anime at the moment is Gundam Wing, and has been for ages now lol ^_~ But I like other such as Card Captor Sakura (hehe so cute), Ah! My Goddess, Cowboy Bebop and I could go on forever but I am watching Nadesico and Orphen's Revenge at the moment and they are so cool ^_~

I read fanfics like everyday, my favourite pairings would be any of the GW pilots with Relena... Although I am a 1xR person at heart ^_^ Funny that I haven't written any fics of that pairing yet grrrrr. But I will get around to it when I finish the one I am currently writing. Um, what else... I collect a lot of GW things, I have 1941 pics at the moment of just GW alone, this includes Images and Wallpapers. I like to write, draw, I like doing design work on the PC as well. ^_^ Wallpapering is so much fun lol. Do many of you like 2xR because I have a couple of wallpapers I have designed of those two together. I have recently done 1xR as well. I will get around to the others as well eventually.

What else... It's my last year of high school, my exams will be coming up soon *cries* I study English, Maths, Visual Art, Information Processing and Publishing and Japanese. I have been studying Japanese for around nine years I think - and I still know nothing LOL. Well, I guess I'm not all that bad, but I'm pretty slack so yeah... I can read Hiragana and some Kanji, I can write some sentences as well, although they are pretty basic, I can speak it pretty fluently but I'm still pretty bad hehehe. I'm trying though ^_~

I haven't really met anyone on here yet so I hope to get to know some of you if you come across this hehe. Sorry if I have taken up a lot of your time since this was a pretty long post >_< I seem to write more than what's required. But yeah, thanks to those who have supported me in my fanfic and to those who have read it. It's my first but I'm trying my best to get better.

Well, enough of me already. I am sure this has already bored most of you to tears LOL. Sorry again. So anyway see ya!!

Aww, thank you so much for your support *Hugs*

Yes I will get around to writing a 1xR eventually. I have a lot of school work to do at the moment but I will get around to writing it soon.

It will be a romance/fantasy/adventure AU type of fic and it will be titled "Return to Yourself". So yeah... I will be looking forward to hear what you think when I get around to posting it

Thanks again

Hello, welcome!!! Like AOD said, it's nice to read a friendly post from time to time... and why do you say you're boring?! LOL... anyway, I expect to read a 1xR fic some time soon!! Hahahaha..!!

And oh, my God! I LOVE Orphen's Revenge! So cool that anime!

My name's Andrea, I'm 18, I'm from Panama, I speak Spanish, and I love anime... there ya go, now we know each other... Hope to see your posts around the forum!!

Bye!

[Neon_Fantasy]

Hiya!!! Nice to meet you Andrea *hugs* Thank you so much for posting, I wasn't actually expecting people to reply to this So yeah, I'M HEAPS HAPPY NOW!!!

My name is Rachel and I'm 18 as well You speak spanish? That's so cool, I use to learn spanish myself, but that was years ago now so I have pretty much forgotten everything I learned :-?

Ah so you have seen Orphen's Revenge huh? Sweet, I have only seen a bit of it so far but from what I've watched... I love it! Orphen isn't too bad looking either He's gorgeous But Heero will always be my no. 1 though!!! LOL

Thanks for your support as well This is giving me so much confidence in my writing now I will be sure to get working on my fic when ever I get the time

Thanks and bye bye!!

[Andrea]

*hugs* Orphen, a cutie? But, of course!!!!!! Not like Heero, mind you, but, definitely a cutie!!

Confidence? In your writing? *blushes* Now, don't be silly. I was just being nice. Hahahaha..!! I am a nice person!!! But, I was being serious, too, you better post fics soon!!!!!!! And don't worry too much about replies... You just need to be confident that your stuff is good. That's all the matters.

[Neon_Fantasy]

You just need to be confident that your stuff is good. That's all the matters.

Yes that is a good point, but you see, confidence isn't something I really possess hehehe. I don't know, I always feel ashamed that something I do is never right.

Like when I wanted to post in my first fic here, it took me like a few attempts because I was scared it wouldn't be liked I would get to the stage where I would want to post it, but then I have second thoughts and suddenly close the window down. I would try again but then the same process happens and ARGH!!! It even annoys me

That's just me though, I never really appreciate what I do because I always compare myself to others and put myself down. I love all the fics here, everyone is such great authors... Me on the other hand.... Hm...

*coughs* But yeah, words like yours and AOD's really help me because I usually take what people say to heart. And it really does help make me feel more confident.

You should have seen me when I wanted to say something about myself in the introduction forum It took me ages because I was scared I would be hated LOL. I don't know why I think such things but you know... It's just the way I am I guess.

[Andrea]

Hmm... *sprinkles dusty confidence everywhere* There ya go. I'll tell ya something: I've written a couple of fics, and while some have had great reviews, others went down with one or two replies, and then died. And honestly, of course it makes me feel sad, but, in my case, I write another fic. I've read fics that are really, really good, and people don't seem to like them. There are also people who don't read every kind of fic.

If this is the first fic you've ever written, it's normal for you to feel like that. I believe everyone who's written something has felt scared or apprehensive. I know I did. I still do, as a matter of fact. You just cross your fingers. The really great thing about this board, is that people here are awesome. So, you need not worry about bashing, or flaming. That's nonesense.

So, post your fic. Don't worry about response just yet. You'll see, everything will go okay. YOU'RE BEING SILLY!!!!!

[raine_yuy]

Andrea said it best, darling. People in this forum are those rare creatures who don't stoop to ever bashing any fics but instead encourages and makes the authors refine their writings. All the reviews you'll receive will be genuine and will always bring a smile to you whether you made them laugh or cry. The people in this forum will become honest friends.

About the confidence thing, everyone is insecure even as others are good at hiding it. The thing is, whether the first fic that you post isn't exactly your best, there is always room for improvement and you'll be admired more for developing your skills than coming by it easily. We're all young writers still, only on the verge of discovering our true talents/skills. We post our work here not to always be praised but to learn what you can work better on. So don't be afraid of rejection or some such little thing, people here always welcomes new authors who can offer a different style in writing. I promise you, you'll enjoy having your work read by us.

And now i've gone on for too long because i'm such a dork. har. It's my version of welcome to you. I hope to see some of your work soon. I hope there's 1xR there somewhere seeing as my knowledge of other animes is very limited. hehe.

enjoy the forum, hon!

[Andrea]

There you go, now, smile, wave and post!! And remember: Don't worry, be happy! Hahahaha...!! :-?
