Brigadier says...



Username: ElizabethLovelace

Name/Alias: Liz, Lizzy, Lizz, Elizabeth, Book, Queen, any variation on my old username is fine
(Beth is the only nickname I don't do)

Interests: Horseback riding for like the past 10 years
Books about anything except romance
So many television shows and books
Dogs
I occasionally play the clarinet, sing, and write songs

Color Preferences: I prefer blue, black, purple, darker colors in general. Pink and bright colors are fine, just not my favorite.

Where do you spend most of your time on YWS?: I used to review a lot but now I mainly just lurk in the Lounge and occasionally type weird stories into my blog.

Favorite Artists/Songs/Shows/etc.: My music tastes are pretty much rock from the 50s to the 80s. Sometimes I jump into punk and pop but I definitely go nowhere near rap and hip hop. If I had to choose a favorite out of all of those, I'd say Elton John. Shows: There is legit a link in the signature folks but for the most part Sherlock, Supernatural, Doctor Who and the many different generations of Star Trek. Any Monty Python clip I can find on youtube or any one of my parent's vhs tapes they haven't gotten moldy.

Favorite Books/Fandoms:
I have a blog post listing all of the fandoms I'm in somewhat but I'll keep it to the main few. I am unfortunately a member of the SuperWhoLock realm but I haven't been to the darkness of tumblr for a long, long time. I sort of do DC and Marvel comics. Star Wars of course. And Harry Potter, can't forget that. The Hobbit/LotR has to be among my favorite series, in fact The Hobbit has to be my favorite book ever.

Preferred Type of Gift: Gif sets, short stories, whatever really. I'm happy to just be receiving a gift and being able to give one to another person.

What Do You NOT Want to Get?: I'm really fine with all types of ships within stories because there are always the fans that think Harry should have definitely been with Draco. Ships like that are what make a fandom a fandom.
I would rather not get poetry mostly because I'm bad at understanding/dislike poetry.

Other: Not religious at all, not bothered by all the Sherlock and Supernatural ships. Extremely sarcastic and I write jokes sometimes, so don't be afraid of the humor element of gift giving. Yeah that's it.

the brigadier rides again!

KiraThePotatoChip says...



Username:KiraThePotatoChip
Name/Alias:Kira
Interests:I like doing a lot of art, reading, watching shows, music, thinking, and video games. My interests are selectively chosen to create the least productive function possible in a human.
Color Preferences:Darker colors are my favorite, but I can appreciate light colors as well. I really dislike oranges, yellows, and certain shades of green. I do like darker reds and blacks, so maroon, blood red, cherry and so on.
Where do you spend most of your time on YWS?:Either chat or storybooks.
Favorite Artists/Songs/Shows/etc.:I really like Thomas Bergerson, Audiomachine, Zack Hemsey, some of Icon for Hire, a lot of cinematic style music, or really anything that isn't in the genre that is classed as pop. I like certain songs like Lion from Hollywood Undead or Outside, but other than that nothing. To get a better feel for what I like just search up epic music, and you'll find about 90% of what I enjoy. As far as shows go, I like Doctor Who, Death Note, Tokyo Ghoul, Fullmetal Alchemist, Criminal Minds, and Agents of Shield.
Favorite Books/Fandoms:I read a lot of manga because I'm a weeb, and I also enjoyed books like Harry Potter, Artemis Fowl, Adventurers Wanted, Lord of the Rings, or anything somewhat fantasy. Again, seeing as I'm a weeb, I am a part of certain anime fandoms.
Preferred Type of Gift: Anything Tokyo Ghoul related, I'm currently really invested into the series. If that can't be done just anything related to the above interests would be cool to see. I don't mind what it is, writing, gif set, or art, but I would prefer something original.
What Do You NOT Want to Get?: Don't send me a meme. I'll force you into a realm you will dislike. Anything I stated above that I disliked will probably not make a good gift.
Other:N/A
Bisexual Disaster, Master Stroke of a human being, may or may not incite a revolution.

Aley says...



Username: Aley
Name/Alias: Aleycat

Interests: Poetry, art, dragons, pokemon, art, acrylics, Yu Yu Hakusho (Favorite character is Kurama/Youko Kurama), Star Trek [the originalto DS9. My favorite character is Spock], Inuyasha (Favorite character Sesshomaru), Trigun, Gengar and Luxray are totally two of my favorite pokemon.

Color Preferences: silver/grey/blue contrasting colors together, color playing, I love colors! Vivid colors, rich colors, shadowy colors, weird colors, I hate yellow with a passion because of painting reasons though, although on the computer yellow is okay. It's not such a translucent nutter when it's on the computer. I love layers in stuff that make ghostly things.

Where do you spend most of your time on YWS?: in chat or such.

Favorite Artists/Songs/Shows/etc.: The Hook by those people with the cat on their cover. Um, Jason Mraz, folk music, The Mistress is a good song. Heather Dale is a good singer.

Favorite Books/Fandoms: Oh lords, I already listed most of these. Right now I'm reading the Temeraire series though and those are really fun. I'm on book three!

Preferred Type of Gift: Whatever you want to do, I will love. My fantasy gift would probably be something to do with Kurama or Sesshomaru though, but since a lot of people don't know that fandom, or those fandoms rather, I doubt it will happen XD I would like something gengar shaped? I don't know. It's totally up to what you like to do! I do love puns though...

What Do You NOT Want to Get?: Whatever you don't want to give me? I don't know. I mean, I don't really want Picard on whatever it is I get. I didn't really like him as a captain [He was not good at fighting DX]. I liked Kirk because he could actually fight and by the same right I loved Spock because he was just great with all of his quotes and things.

Other: I'm really excited to GIVE a secret santa gift so what I get will make me happy. I mean, you could spend 5 mins throwing together a poem with my name in it, or an acrostic of my name and I would love it.

(Also, on youtube, I love watching Studio C -- SCOTT STERLING!! xD) I watch a lot of Chopped, Cuthroat Kitchen, Cupake Wars, etc., despite the fact that I can't cook or bake if my life depended on it. Like, Chopped is my go to show. XD

Preferred Type of Gift: Gif set, graphic, writing, etc.

What Do You NOT Want to Get?: As in, disliked fandoms/ships, colors you don't like, etc. Please do not put "I don't want a crappy gift" or anything like that. Be nice or Santa will give you coal.
I don't understand any Sherlock, Doctor What I mean Who (don't hurt me), or anything remotely similar.
