N00B!
« on: September 10, 2012, 01:44:30 PM »
Hi guys! I'm new to the forum and returning to AC.

Back when I used to frequent the site though this forum didn't exist so this is pretty awesome and looks like it'll be a lot of fun! :)

My name is Sheena, I'm 28 years old (yikes!) I was born and raised in a town outside of Dayton, Ohio called Beavercreek. When I was 20 I moved to Kingston, Ontario to attend Queen's University where I got my BAH in Sociology. I met my then boyfriend, now husband, during school and never left!

Now I sell cell phones. You know what they say, what do you do with an BAH in sociology? LOL (anyone who likes Avenue Q will get that one!)

Though I do feel like sometimes the human social experiences that I witness while working retail is a bit like a field study, so I pretend that it's all just research.

I was into fanfic a long time ago but school took over my life around the same time that BSB dropped off the planet for a while and I dropped off with them fandom-wise. Now that I'm done with school and have a bit more free time I want to get back into it and I'm working on writing a few things as well as reading many others!

My favourite BSB is Nick, my favourite writers are Pengi and Karah, I like pepperoni pizza and long walks on the beach... LOL

I'm on Twitter now, too! I'd always gone and checked BSB's and Nick's twitter page but I didn't have one of my own to follow on because I didn't think I would have much use for it. I decided though that I would get more "connected" and started one up! My username on there is also shark_carter. Yes, I know, I stole Nick's instagram username but I thought it was SO CUTE so when I was trying to think of a username I decided to pay homage to him LOL SO.... FOLLOW ME! haha

This is long so I'm going to stop now. :) HI AGAIN!

Haha it's funny you say that because I always tell people that I wish riding a bike was like riding a bike - I need training wheels, I swear! :P

Lots of Stephs to keep straight! haha I'm a big romance fan and always have been. There's just something about a really sweet love story that appeals to me. I can take or leave the smutty side of fanfic, I accept that it makes a lot of romance stuff realistic but for me it's the relationship that is the real story.

In my own fics that I write it's romance but it's pretty PG-13 compared to a lot of stuff out there! I like the human interest side of relationships. .. I guess that's why I took sociology in school! :)

How about you??

Yeah, I definitely feel the same way about romance! I love the raw emotional part of it and really like to dig into the characters. It's my favorite genre and I usually write about Nick. Tried writing an AJ romance once, couldn't get into it at all lol. I also like writing really true to life stuff based on events that really happened to the boys with a bit of a fictional twist.

Welcome Sheena!  I'm really glad you're not a Nick poser.  I was a little concerned when I saw your username LOL.

Hey Sheena, since you were around a long time ago, back in the day what was your pen name and some of the stories you have written? I bet a few of us have read them.
