I'm open to swaps: Yes
About me: You really wanna know? Eh, here goes nothing. I'm Christian, 15, and double-jointed in my shoulders. I don't know if I'd consider it a 'talent', but a quirk nonetheless. I can continuously crack my knuckles, which sounds like bubble wrap when held by a microphone. The reaction of the audience is quite entertaining, too. ツ As far as school goes, I'm a freshman. Umm... let's see... what else? Sports, I guess? Dance, volleyball, and cheer leading. I'm working on a bunch of writing stuff right now, but various things like to entertain my schedule. Darn reality. The vast majority of my writing on here are firsts drafts. That said, feel free to rip it to shreds. It needs editing, so any constructive criticism is welcome.
My favorite place to read is: Anywhere I can block out my surroundings.
I can't live without: Friends and family. They mean the world to me.
If I could be any literary character, I would be: Legolas. Or Scrooge. There's just too many to choose from.
Favorite authors: Audrey Burne, Adger Allen Poe, O'Henry, C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkein, Margaret Peterson Haddix, J.K. Rowling, Shakespeare
Favorite books: The Outsiders

Hey there! I was wondering if you would be willing to read/heart (if deserved) my story Summer Breeze for the Cutting Contest? I would really appreciate it!!! The contest is basically about cutting down a short story that I have written to make it less wordy. Thanks so much and happy writing!

would you mind checking out any length of my novel in progress "Glimpse"? Although I would prefer a free read, I will swap if need be. Thanks!

Hello! I hope you are having a wonderful day :) As of right now I have entered the Kidnapped Contest and I am on the hunt for some swaps. If you could read my six minute long story "The Consequence of a Memory" I would happily return the favor with anything you want me to read.
-Katrina
*Note: It may take me a day or two to return the swap - it depends on how many I have to return. But you WILL get a return read.

Hi! Would you like to swap? I'm not in a contest, but I'd love to get some readers for my Ballet Blog series! Please read either Unexpected, Fierce Competition, Drama Queen, Prince Charming, or Destined. I can also double, triple, or even quadruple swap!
I'm so sorry if I've already asked you this! Sometimes I lose track of who I asked and who I didn't. :)
Thank you in advance. Remember to tell me what you want me to read on my wall!
