Hey everyone. 

So my name is Manaswini Iyengar and I'm 17. I only started writing this year because I had these ideas that I really wanted to just write down. 

When I write, I write the type of books I want to read. I have two books that I'm working on and the first isa fairytale adaptation because I love them so much. But I also love stories where individual tales come together. A lot of the romance is either a sub-plot or quite tame and more focussed on the build - up. 

I try to include lots of characterisation and like to really flesh my stories out. 

If you have any constructive critiscism for anything I write, please give it to me. 

One of my stories is a fan fic and I'd just like to point out that these will be rare because I am very happy with the canon ships in most cases. 

Love triangles piss me off so those will be on the low as well. 

Basically, you can expect, action, adventure, evil people, super powers, adaptations, strong characters and cute love stories that don't go overboard. 

What you won't get - angst, love triangles where the love interest is super obvious, shallow characters, passive heroines, douchey heroes who are sexist, crazy amounts of sex, stupid heroines who make really dumb decisions and characters that you can't understand. 

Basically, everything that people hate in stories :) I'll try complete all my stories ASAP because I know the feeling of having to wait for the next chapter and slowly dying inside. 

So lame joke to end this with:

There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed his desire to become a great writer.

When asked to define "Great" he said, "I want to write stuff that the whole world will read, stuff that people will react to on a truly emotional level, stuff that will make them scream, cry, howl in pain and anger!" 

He now works for Microsoft, writing error messages. 

And here's a quote: 

Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.
