wait what? yeah, so, that first half post there confused me.... yup.
but something about douch bags, yup.

That'd make for a cute little graduation present, though, so best of luck with that.

As for grumpy step-uncle . . . . . yeah, I guess I can say best of luck with that too.

My family has those types of people too, except they are angry hispanic people.

I need to catch up with the FMA manga (I never did finish the anime), I remember the last thing I saw was Hawkeye having a strange tattoo.

I remember me and my friends inserted ourselves into a Fruits Basket fanfic when I was a freshmen in high school, it was me and 6 girls and it started out really good, but... (it became a shojo and yaoi fest). I gladly killed off my character. I still think they are going on with it. I dont care anymore, XD. I need to start back on writing my story, but procrastination gets in the way of everything.

Good luck with your story,
Ryo

@timechaser:

I wish we could do that, but it's a helluva lot more complicated than that. -.-;

I wrote a couple of self-insertations back when I first began fanfiction writing, but now I kind of see how lame and flimsy it is. With any luck, what I've got will pass. It probably will, since what we had before was two partial character biographies and a rough concept. ^_~v

Could you just keep him locked in a closet until he leaves? =P

Mm, I've never cared for self-insertion fanfics. It's probably a good idea that you changed that part of it, might work out better now ^^
