Reading problems
I suffer from mild Dyslexia, meaning while I can still read and write, my writing skills are below standards and I tend to do more mistakes then the average person my age would. I apologise for my gramma and spelling mistakes in here, it is very hard for me to spot my own mistakes even at the best of times. I try to proof read and double check spelling but cannot always spot my own mistakes. So please be patient with my edits.

Intereasts
I love Science fiction and I love the Dune series of books as well as Babylon 5.

I'm big on Manga and Anime. Currently the series I'm interested in the most is the series One Piece. I'm also am a fan of Outlaw Star as well as the series Devilman.

I am also fond of comedy shows (mostly tradional style) and enjoy watching Red Dwarf, Dad's Army, M*A*S*H, Have I got news for you and Yes minster (and Yes Prime Minster).

I also have an interest in ancient civilisations and art.

Questions
Random garbage in the form of questions and answers. They are here to tell you where I stand as far as a One Piece fan is.

Are you a anime fan?
 * Yes. I have been for several years, even before they gave the name 'anime' to animation manga series.  Inccidently I orgianlly started out as a manga fan. I'm a member of the local Anime Fan Club 'Culture Forge' in my hometown.

What was your first anime?
 * Cities of Gold produced in 1982, I saw it when it aired in 1988. It was a French/Japanese coproduction.  They did several shows like that when I was young.  It has a introduction you hear once and never forget, an intereasting storyplot and wasn't too badly dubbed. If you know how the artwork in the series Ranma 1/2 goes, you'll know the style of artwork in Cities of Gold.   I also saw another such coproduction series called Ulysses 31 which was made in 1981 when it aired on UK TV about the same time as Cities of Gold. There are others, but I don't remember them now; its been too many years now.

Do you collect manga?
 * Yes and no. I'm a university student on limited funds... I buy only what I can afford.  Which is next to nothing.  I do collect One Piece, but its the Viz translation.

What animes do you like besides One Piece?
 * I tend to ignore age limits, so I'll watch anything so long as it makes me laugh, has a good storyline or is intereasting. Flint the Time Detective, GunXSword, Devil Man, Ranma, Dragon-Half, Street Fighter, Outlaw Star, Sailor Moon, Beyblade, Vampire Karin, Monster Rancher, Samuri Pizza Cats, Sonic X, Megaman GTX, Escaflowne, Techno Man, Tokyo Mew Mew, Big O, Ninja Non-sense and Cromartie High School. there are several others, but I forget them for now and will list them here when I remember.

Are there animes you hate?
 * Yes. Dragonball Z... Too many overpowered people that could destroy the world just by sneezing.  For me, from the Trunks saga to the Cell sags (but not including it) were the only things worth watching.  I never saw Sragonball because it didn't air, until after Dragonball Z did.  Yu-Gi-Oh because I can't stand hearing about what every dam card being played each move does.  Thunder Prince, the english dub suffered terrible voice acting.  Naruto... Because I just can't get into that one.  Bleach for the same reason as Naruto.  Transformers, only the later series, I grew up on the first gerenation TV series, that show rocked in its day.

Are you a fan of One Piece?
 * Yes, its too difficult to write things unless you know a lot about what your writing about. I started out watching the English dub, but got fed up with the voice acting and got hold of the Japanese episodes.  Some point after I started doing things on Wikipedia and get hold of the series to One Piece I became a true fan of the series.

How long have you been around wikipedia and its related boards?
 * For a few years... Mostly never edited much, odd thing here and there mostly while at university. About 6 months ago I start seriously editing and did stuff on my home computer more and then some point a couple months back bothered to join.

Can you speak Japanese?:
 * Not really. I know some Japanese, enough to get me around, but not enough to live in Japan.  I struggle because of dyslexia in learning other langauges.  I can read but its also very vague... I know what certain words mean, but struggle to translate whole sentances. If easier to get someone else to translate it then to have me do it.

Do you cosplay?
 * I'll admit I cosplay... Both male and female characters. My next cosplay was Red-Haired Shanks at the London Expo during October.  It went really well, except a fangirl shouted 'Yay Shanks!' in my ear.  In the past I cosplayed as Vampire Karin character Edna Marker.  Which failed because I didn't put a lot of effort into it.

Do you go to conventations?
 * I answered this in the question above - yes I do. I only just started going, but I love the feel of conventions and seeing all the cosplayers and so forth.  Its a lot of fun for a passionate anime fan like me.  Conventations are expensive though... £100 can go instantly within a few hours.  Other times its not the case.  I took £100 with me to the October 2006 one and came back with £60 because there wasn't anything there this time... What I did buy was nothing to do with anime.  :(

Do you draw manga style?
 * Yes. I can draw anime.  I'm not very creative though with it.  I'm also sloppy and lazy with my attempts.  But I can draw manga and anime styles.

Which forums do you vist?
I'm not gonna link to them...


 * kaizoku-fansubs - One-Winged Hawk, thats me. Everyone there is friendly like, don't always ignore you... Treat you better.  They reply to your posts, which is good.  But there are a lot of random noobs sometimes.
 * Arlong Park - I was reglaurly visiting... Still am it seems. They are alright, but they are just not newbie friendly. Their resonible there and you don't get so many random noobs.  If you have a theory to voice, its the best place for that because they will correct your info and voice their opinion.  Other then that, if you don't want a huge community where your a small flickering candle in the wind - don't go there.
 * Deviant Art - emilybee. Thats me.
 * You Tube - Some random video stuff I made for fun. I wish I had the programs to do some wicked stuff, but sadly I have only Windows Movie Marker...

I visit other places...

Want to know where else?

I'm not telling.

I like some privacey on the net. :P

Do you still go to wikipedia
Not anymore. I've left because everyone has turned against me over spoilers. I hate it when everyone gangs up against me for something so small. The Wikipedia drama just gets too much sometimes. This was my last big drama. >_<'

Ah! Forget this... I have to visit wikipedia... There wouldn't be anyone to stop spoilers and other small tadbits get on anymore.

Test Pages
Some ideas I'm experimenting on... :/
