Shadow's Profile >:D 3578138

Fun Facts

Real Name: Stephanie. My, do I love my name, I think it’s perfect for me. :3
Username: Shadowsowner888 on most sites, shadowsown88 everywhere else. Except on RPC. I'm Shadow Cullen there, but that’ll probably change if I ever log on again. xD
Nickname: Nickname? Without an ‘s’? What an abomination! There’s so many. First of all, we’ve got the classic Shadow. It’s the most natural name for me! ^^ I’ve been called variations of that too . . . Shadows, Shad, lots of stuff. Then there’s Kumori Sundvahor, which means ‘shadow shadow’ to be honest, but I like it. :3 Japanese is a pretty language. And my third main nickname would be Ado, credit to Komo-chan. See, one day I called her Mo, because those are the middle letters in Komoda, and so she called me Ado in return. That has variations too, like, once I got called Addy! xD And besides that I’ve been called Jacob and Muffin and lots of other random names, but yup, those are my main ones.
Location: Shadow’s Universe, USA.
Birthday: April 25th, 1995
People here I actually know: iGrievous is my bro, but he’s the only active fellow so far. >.>

Me

Who am I, anyway? Why, I’m myself. That’s one question I can easily answer. If I go indepth . . . I’m the Catholic writer with a young heart and urge for insanity who gets obsessed easily and loves her friends forever. ^^

Speaking of love . . . ah, the trials. I’m ‘too young to date’ at the moment, but that doesn’t stop me from getting mad crazy crushes now and then. I’m waiting for the right person to come along . . . the one I’ll be with forever. :3 Gotta be somebody for me out there!

Music and art make a large staple of who I am, though writing of course tops them. It’s just the freedom to express yourself that I love, I think. Writing you can be anyone, do anything.

Music leaves you free to headbang and rock out and feel like nobody’s watching you. I love playing it, listening to it, and composing it. ^^ I have a few songs of my own in the third post. I didn’t actually know I could write songs until around summer 09, though . . . I owe the fact that I do now to Chuhulil of WI. She and her songwriting club totally made me open up to the sides of myself I hadn’t seen before. When it comes down to it, WI made me a lot of who I am . . . my insanity and even the fact I’m writing at all. There would be no Twig if I’d never joined WI, that’s for sure.

And art, it lets me just feel cool. It expresses things that writing can’t always manage to . . . like this picture of me clinging onto Iggy’s arm. Iggy’s from Maximum Ride. And in the picture, he’s smirking at L from Death Note, who just looks rather sad. xD I find the whole situation just epic.

I love dogs; I own one right now. :3 Her name is Angel, and she’s my baby, the sweetest thing in the world. Ironically, she’s black, but she’s such a cute little squishy and I luffs her. Check out the third post for some pictures of her!

I’m also a big reader - how could I be a writer without reading? Fantasy and romance are my favorite genres, and it’s even better if there’s action mixed in. Some of the best authors ever are Suzanne Collins and James Patterson. Suzanne comes up with these really cool and amazing stories, and James has the realest and funniest characters ever. ^^ Mangas are included in my love for books, and I love anime too, of course. The best series of either I’ve ever seen/read is absolutely Death Note. L = Love. <3

I got my username because of my dog, who we got from Jamie (my ex-crush)’s family back in 2005. They had Shadow and his sister, Luna, but couldn't handle them both, so they offered us one. =3 Shadow was my first dog. But on March 15th the next year, in the afternoon, we had some people over for Preteen Girls Club . . . Shadow was supposed to have been locked in the crate because he gets excited, but some of my sibs had taken him out, so he came into the basement and started running around. We chased him back upstairs. But my mom was walking one of the other moms out, and had left the door cracked open . . . Shadow was always looking for an opportunity to run off. He was mostly beagle. So he got out, ran into the road, and got hit by a car. Crying or Very sad

He was my special puppy, and I'll never forget him, thanks to my username. Love you forever, Shadow. <3

I'm 5'2" - "short," as I constantly whine, with long, just barely waistlength dark dark brown hair. I have split ends on the last few inches, unfortunately. Razz

I'm naturally tannish, and have brown eyes with flecks of black. I'm not skinny or fat, I think my nose is too big, and my teeth are kinda crooked. xD But oh well, I don’t have to look perfect. I’m satisfied with myself.

My Writing

I wrote my first official story when I was about eight - it was back when I was obsessed with American Dragon: Jake Long. I had always been a creative person at heart - I loved going to sleep because I could dream, and even before I fell asleep, I was pretending to be somebody else, creating a story in my mind. I usually didn't try to remember these, but in this case, well, I obviously did. I was so crushing on Jake Long. xD So I started writing a story about him, how this evil person turned him into a dog. And he was devastated, because this girl he was in love with had no clue who he was. She actually ended up adopting him as her pet. I never finished it . . . but you may have read my second version, Misplaced, which was about Jamie and myself. xD

My next stories came a few years later . . . when I was eleven or twelve, I think. I joined this website called Powerpets, where you can "publish" stories and receive virtual money whenever people read them. So I wrote a series there called The Tale of the Morpher. xD It was based on this idea my former best friend and I came up with on the trampoline. "What would happen if we had this device that would let us turn into any animal?" American Dragon had left its mark, along with Animorphs - I was officially obsessed with shapeshifting. So we started writing stories about it. We both put them away for a while, but then there was a difference after a while. I took my story out, started writing it to be a Powerpets story, and eventually got it published. My BFF's story at this point was in her wastebasket. I’ll probably never write more than the two pieces of the series I already did, but I owe them for getting me really started with writing. ^^

Then, when my Hannah Montana obsession came along, I started daydreaming about that when I went to bed. But it wasn't fantasy-ish enough for me, so I let Miley be able to turn into a dragon . . . and so was Dragon Soul born. XD I changed the characters' names mostly at first, and just gathered random ideas, but it wasn't long before I actually had the whole story plotted out. Then once I joined WI and found out how many people there were writers, I did what I might never have done otherwise - I started writing Dragon Soul. Everyone was so supportive about it, and never stopped praising me; you all gave me such a boost of self esteem, and look where I am now! Very Happy

I have four or five other books for the DS series plotted out now, and will probably publish DS within a couple years. The story also matured as I did; it stopped being a fanfiction. The characters and plot all developed their own originality; they were no longer Miley Stewart, Jake Ryan, Oliver Oken, and Lilly Truscott. They became Kayla, Cody, Jarrett, and Casey. The plot became my own. It became a novel.

My next big story was The Voices in My Head. Twilight came along in the end of July 08, and I was addicted. So, I started writing a story that took place in Shadow’s Universe, as closely to possible as I could get it. There's some details changed, because it's not just Komoda and I in there anymore, but I'm trying to keep it essentially the same. But I know I've matured spiritually - when I started, I'd decided the ending would consist of us saying goodbye to our imaginary friends. XD And I hated the ending. And now, because it's true, I'm actually somewhat looking forward to it.

There’s so many more beyond them that I’ve written . . . but I’m just going to mention two more, my only novels so far beyond Dragon Soul. I wrote them both during NaNoWriMo 09 (along with the sequel to Dragon Soul . . . it was a successful year for me. ^^ My first Nano ever, too!) The first is called Desperate, and it’s based heavily on my own life, with a ton of exaggerations in there. ^^; I only wish my life could end up as great as Tasha’s did. And the second . . . well, I’m not as big a fan of Falling. It’s funny, because originally I liked it more, but Desperate is the one I like more now that I’ve actually written it. xD Falling was just too much like Dragon Soul and Twilight for me to feel it was worth much, but at least I enjoyed writing it!

And what’s Shadow’s Universe, you might be wondering? Well, it’s my fictional world, where I live when I talk about people like L II or Edward II or Jacob II . . . basically my imaginary world, named so that I don’t have to admit it doesn’t exist. xD Aren’t I a silly child?

National Novel Writing Month History:
If you don't know what this is, check out www.nanowrimo.org.

2008 - Not an official participant. I used it as a motivation to finish writing Dragon Soul, though, and I'm pretty sure I wrote at least fifty thousand. Very Happy

2009 - Stories; Desperate, Falling, Shadow Souls, roleplaying, and freewriting. Words; 300,003. Results; I lost my sanity, but I got the goal I wanted!

Some of My Stories:

[Links included for those posted here.]

Misplaced was originally an American Dragon fanfiction, but I modified it to be based on my own life. It was my first real story ever, technically. It's about a girl (me XD) and her crush, and what happens when people mess with magical beings. It's a finished novelette.

The Tale of the Morpher is a series of short stories, kinda based on Animorphs. You can read them on Powerpets, if you go there. The ones I've written are finished.

Dragon Soul is my first big story - my special one, my novel. I've got a couple sequels planned out. You can read it on WI if you feel like digging through the list of threads I've posted, but it's been majorly updated since then, and there's a lot more. You won't see any more of it until it's published, though! XD It's in editing, with the sequel in writing.

The Voices in My Head is my fanfiction about my Twilighter side. XD It's in writing.

The Adventures of Hero and Pootnic was the first story I wrote with my brother, based on two custom Lego Indiana Jones characters we made. XD What loveliness was born of this idea. It was my first silly story.

Wolf Chasers is my first entirely original story. XD It's not based on anything else at all. I randomly was trying to think of names for people that looked and acted like certain animals, and that started it all.

The Christmas is . . . um . . . random. XD Gri came up with it mostly. You should read it.

The Book Club was one of those stories you started by writing on a napkin. XD It's about a book club!

Catching This Lovebug is my first entirely-a-fanfic story. I'd kinda always wanted to write something about the Jonas Brothers. XD It was originally going to be about me and Nick, because I'm a diabetic like him, but then I gave myself a different name . . . and several other changes! XD Anyway, it's a finished short story.

Pippin's Mishap is a whatif? story about Lord of the Rings. XD

The Piggy Three is my story about . . . the three little pigs . . . or something . . . XD

The Story of Mister is a nonsensical microfiction about a fat fellow named Mister. nod

Cake is another nonsensical story, about what happens when you have a weird teacher.

The Time Jamie Pathew Got Hit By a Car is about the time Jamie Pathew got hit by a car. nod

It's based on a true story.

The Time Jamie Pathew Was Electrocuted is the sequel to The Time Jamie Pathew Got Hit By a Car, about the time Jamie Pathew was electrocuted. Based on a true story!

Awesome Books

Eragon and its sequels are these awesome books about dragon riders. Very Happy

You should read them if you haven't. They're perfect for anyone who loves fantasy.

Animorphs was the first series I ever read. XD Really awesome books about shapeshifters.

Uglies is . . . well, the first book of the series. xD But they're these amazing books . . . Scott Westerfeld is just a wonderful author! He makes all these societies that're just so realistic, and it's impossible for me to put his books down. These in particular are about a world where life revolves around being prettified with this plastic surgery when you're sixteen. nod

The Hunger Games trilogy is so great. :3 Suzanne Collins, like Scott Westerfeld, is really good at making these worlds . . . not quite as good, but still good. The plot makes up for the difference, though. They're sci-fi-ish, and involve a deadly game where only one person can come out alive . . . and what happens when two of the people participating are in love with each other.

My Favorites

Animal: Dragons. Very Happy

Dragons rock, even though they aren't real.
Color: Blue. xD With green in second.
Number: Eight. Very Happy

Cus it's fun to write. And it's swirly.
Food: XD It's funny, cus I keep forgetting this one! I'm pretty sure it's Chinese, though.
Song: Comatose by Skillet. x3 It's been this one for sooo long now . . . It's awesome!
Book: Ohboi . . . I think it's Maximum Ride right now.
Season: Fall, I think. xD I have no proof, though.
Day: Thursdays. xD Or at least, over the school year. Cus that's when I see all my friends.
Movie: The Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Very Happy

They're perfect! Fantasy + Romance + Action + Funniness = <3

Fun Stuff

First of all, pics! Very Happy

Click the spoiler to see a few pics of my doggy. The first one is where she's looking cutesy cus I'm cooing at her, but someone was going outside so she was looking away. The second is obviously a yawn, and in the third one she's like, "What the heck?" x3
Sorry they're blurry! xD And thanks to itachiphan8823 for giving me the idea.

Spoiler:

Annnnnd . . . my own song! Very Happy

Woot! For those of you who don't already know, it's called What It's Like to Be Alone. Gri did the drums, by using the computer keyboard, but I did the guitar and singing entirely by hand.

When you said 'green' was Jasper's favorite color, I thought you meant MY Jasper again. *dreamy sigh*

LOL

Re: Shadow's Profile >:D · by **shadowsowner888** 6/22/2009, 12:22 pm

I like the badge too Wink

It looks awesome in your profile!

Re: Shadow's Profile >:D · by **Komoda** 7/28/2009, 4:35 pm

Wow, I love your profile! Now I know so much about you that I didn't before. I find it all so weird, really... I remember when we pretty much first met. You had just joined RoseClan and I was deputy. Then Tarscratch and Sunbeam met. And thanks to Tar and Sun, we're great friends now! This makes me miss RPing. But I probably can't ever catch up with the plot now. XP
