Lately I've noticed, reading over some of my stories, that I base characters off of my friends and foes. Usually the characters look nothing like the people I know, so I don't notice them, but I realized just today that the personality of my character Aiwyn in my story Legend, is uncanny to the personality of my friend Weasley. If you know me in real life, then you probably have no idea who this mysterious Weasley person is--unless, of course, you are Weasley.
I've been wrapped up in quite a few books on my favorite site of all time, Figment.com. It's a really awesome writing site that allows writers such as myself talk about writing and get writing tips from each other. It's a very fun community, and I've made a lot of friends there. Being a writing site, there are a lot of stories on there, and all of them are unbelievably amazing, though there are too many to read all of them. Some of the ones I've been obsessing about currently(meaning, for me, since about four o'clock this very afternoon) are listed below, and I highly suggest you read them.
Finding You
Lady of the Lake
The Lightcatcher(because, you know, GINGERS!)
Run Smooth
The Dragon's Daughter
If you could check these out, even just one of them or a short little chapter of one of them, I'd appreciate it and I know the authors would as well. All of them are incredible writers, with an insane talent that makes me truly jealous.
Bye for the moment,

Aww, thanks for recommending my book! :) And...I will now proceed to read Legend, because that is just so awesome that you are semi-basing a character on me :) Hahahaa. I'm flattered.
