I got the idea for Cloak/Dagger after watching The Three Penny Opera. It was fantastic and I wanted to make someone like Mack the Knife. That is how Drystan came to be. Like usual, I came up with an entire plot soon after. I had the hardest time coming up with names for characters. Cloak/Dagger is based off of 1880-1890s London. I had to double check many things to see if it existed in the time period before I could actually put it in the story. Like always, I listen to music when I write. I came up with a special playlist for Cloak/Dagger.

In no particular order besides how they show in the playlist:
1. Prelude 12/21 - AFI
2. Miricle - Paramore
3. Bubbly - Colbie Caillat
4. Out of Line - Buckcherry
5. Apologize - One Republic
6. All Around Me - Flyleaf
7. Fix You - Coldplay
8. I'm Alive - Becca
9. Falling On - Finger Eleven
10. When I Fall in Love - Nat King Cole


 

I go by Ayame Karisuma but my real name is Amy. I am 20 years old and a junior in college with a Sociology major and (soon to be) a Creative Writing minor. I am from Minnesota but go to school at Eau Claire, WI. I do speak some Spanish and some Japanese.

I have loved reading since I was a child and spend too many hours at the library. I started writing poems and stories when I was little (those ones where you laugh now at how bad they were). I like writing because I want to share my ideas with others, otherwise I will talk their ears off. I have an overactive imagination and get insperation from everything. I also tend to be a huge procrastinator but I am working on it.

I love fantasy and mystery books the most. I can't pick specific favorites. I also enjoy Japanese manga and anime. I am a staff member of the local anime convention, NoBrandCon. I also enjoy watching TV and movies. My favorite shows include Bones, House, Grey's Anatomy, Heroes, and Castle to name a few. I have a lot of favorite movies since it is hard to truly dissapoint me.

My dream is to one day get a book published (either self publish or throuh a company). Otherwise, I have no idea what I'm going to do after I graduate. During the summer I work as a lifeguard at both the YMCA and the city pool.

Please feel free to talk to me about anything.
