Hello! I'm Katrina and I like doing a whole bunch of things, like reading and writing and doodling (I doodle terribly though) and video-editing and lots of other stuff. Sometimes, I dabble in photo-editing. Oh, and I love listening to music, too. :D I play the violin, I've been learning for almost a year now. :) I know how to play the piano, though I'm still learning the basics. It's a bit late for me to start learning how to play the piano, considering that so many other people start when they can barely walk. x) Also, if you haven't noticed by now, I really like using emoticons. Sometimes people take what you say the wrong way, like they take offense at something you said when you were only joking, and it's better safe than sorry. xD And sometimes, when people don't use emoticons and they aren't being particularly witty or anything, I tend to look at them as... stiff. No offense, though! It's the internet, it's alright to use a smiley once in a while! :) See? That looks so cute. x) ...And now I'm rambling. So anyway. Recently, I've been very picky about the books I read. I really don't like the more popular YA fiction books these days that have 'remixed' (for lack of a better word) supernatural creatures, cheesy love triangles as the center of their story, and/or really weird titles like Beautiful Darkness or something like that. I mean, I do like love triangles (I'm a fandom girl at heart, of course I like to ship xD), but I really don't like it when it's the only/main thing the story's about. A story needs a good plot and a whole lot of character development, please and thank you. So, since I avoid those, now I read classics, historical fiction, science fiction, adventure, fantasy, some mystery and sometimes even horror. Once I read a murder mystery. It was brilliant. Some of my favorite books are Crown Duel/Court Duel (by the lovely Ms Sherwood Smith),the Sherlock Holmes stories (by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle), and the Harry Potter saga by J.K Rowling. :)

@Alice_Iceflower Aw, that's kind of sad. :/ And yes, I agree. The books people like these days (at least those read by my age group haha) seem like they focus more on what the characters did than what they felt doing it or anything. :( That's why I really like Love Song, there's kind of a balance between those two. Haha, you're welcome! :) Your fairy tales are so unique, I'm not sure many people will have thought of that on here. ^^

@KatrinaBusa No she didn't. I read the story that did win, and I didn't like it as much as Love Song. It wasn't bad, really, but there were a lot of things that didn't quite... worked. Like the author rushed it towards th end (which is very well possible). I guess people aren't very interested in the quiet, emotional books these days. And thanks :) Indeed some stories are not comparable... (in fact I've yet to find a story on Wattpad that is comparable to my fairy tales. Still on the look-out for that)

@Alice_Iceflower Wow, I just stumbled upon it in the Undiscovered Gems section, and it was under Recommended. x) It's mostly apples and oranges though, there are stories that are great in different ways. She didn't win? Really? I find that really hard to believe! o.o I guess it was too brilliant for that contest. xD

@KatrinaBusa Gee, you started with the best book on here... must be hard finding stuff that is nearly as good. So I'm flattered that you like my fairy tales :) I read Love Song when she was still writing it and competing in the Gatekeeper contest... a shame she didn't win...

@Alice_Iceflower The reason why it's still the only one there is because I just started out here. :) and yes, it's brilliant, but your stories are amazing too! (I've read your fairy tales, I'll save it for a comment :D) and thanks, it's actually my profile picture from Facebook so... x)

@KatrinaBusa Seeing that the only book currently in your library is Love Song, I seriously doubt whether I can compete :) I love that book... And, nice choice for the profile picture ;)

I love these fairy tales! They're whimsical and magical, like the classic fairy tales we all grew up with. :) I can't wait for the next update!...
