write fanfiction on fanfiction.net? (link)
Well, you have to make an account to do so. I had one but I found it confusing and hard to find and submit stories. Try going for a website dedicated to your specific fan fiction. What do you write about? I could probably reccomend some websites.


I write stories for fanfiction.net and I just got a new beta, I usually edit my own stories. She wants me to send my chapters through e-mail or a pm. I use microsoft when I write. How do I send my stories directly through microsoft or from e-mail? (link)
I write fan fiction to :)

I think it'd be easiest to copy your stories from microsoft word and paste them into an email. I know with microsoft programs you could email them directly to the beta from there, (microsoft outlook) but I've always had issues with that. My favorite oxymoron is Microsoft works, so I guess I'm biased.

Maybe we can talk about writing? I dont have many friends who write fan fiction. Drop me an email at tropicalbreeze92@yahco.com if you want.


whats a new look for the school year like, make up look? im filipina.. thanks =] (link)
Im assuming you have brown hair and eyes?

I suggest the almay collection, for brown eyes. Theres play it up or bring it out, and both look really nice with brown eyes (atleast on mine). If they aren't brown, they have other eye colors as well.

Try a step away from summer's bronzer and get a nice blush color, a warmer shade for fall. Full eye lashes are in all year round, so try a new brand of mascara (i used volume XXL and it worked pretty well for me) or even test fake lashes. (you can get them in individual lashes so you don't look overdone)
Your best friend is flawless skin, so keep it clean. Make sure you have a good concealer for zits, and finally, chose a natural lip color and a gloss to go over it. Go for a fresh and natural look, and it will last you through the entire year.


I could have sworn that I took my pill yesterday night. I'm pretty sure I forgot to take wednesday's pill & took it on thursday. [Not sure, but since thursday's pill was in there.. i'm thinking that's what happened]So I took yesterdays pill & tonights.
[I've been on the pill for over 6 months] & my period is supposed to come sunday.. but since the pill shortens it.. it comes a few days later in the week..

Could I be pregnant? I had sex multiple times and used a different condom each time. He held onto it as he pulled out.

Naturally, i'm a worry wart :[ (link)
I'm almost 100 percent sure you aren't pregnant, the odds just aren't in that favor. But, if you are worried, take a pregnancy test. No harm in being positive.


i hate my mom we do not get along at all. ill be 18 in a few weeks i need to get out of the house. i was wondering if there are different not shelters but places u could stay that are eitehr free or not to expensive please answer the question instead of saying oh just try and get along and shittttt thankss (link)
There aren't really a lot of places to stay besides shelters (which can be really unsafe), and why take up a bed where someone else who doesnt have a home could be using it. Do you have a job? Maybe you could get one, so A) your not as home as much, B) Your saving up for your own place so you can be away from your mother C) Your mother will respect you more if you start making your own income.


i have a light greenish color for my eyes.
my eyes are kinda small.
and i have circles under htem but there not like black.
but there not super light.

how should i apply my make up to make them
pop out more and seem bigger?
how do i make my eyes look more green? (link)
For dark circles, use a concealer (use liquid and powder, or get a combo) thats lighter then your natural skin tone to cover it. To make your eyes seem more awake and larger, line the inner lid line with blue (around 5 shades lighter then a navy blue shade will work. mess around will different colors until you find a good match) Don't make it extremely noticable your wearing this liner, it's meant for affect, not for show.

My friend who has green eyes mixes different shades of purple on her lids, and it looks really nice. Try a brown liner over that, and it should really good.


I met this guy last weekend at a place where everyone in my town hang out. we hit it off really well and started dating a couple days later. everything was going really great but then i found out from a few friends i have in the grade above that he did ectasy oxy cotton ect. i definetley am not into drugs, i called him and told him i never wanted to see him ever again. he started crying and said i havent cried this much since my mom died of coursr i felt awful so i agreed to have him drive over to my house and we could talk i told him that i thought we rushed into going out and that i couldnt be with somebody who does drugs i want to be a dancer in high school and i cant be associated with drugs. he also told people that we were going to have sex on our one month anniversary. which made me furious because im not like that to know a guy for like 5 days and agree to that. i broke up with him and now hes threatning to kill two of my friends that told me that he did drugs. hes physco..he drives past my house twice a day and it freaks me out he says we will be together no matter what and he'll stop at nothing to get me even if he has to hurt people that we are meant to be together im really scared and i dont know what to do. (link)
This guy obviously has issues. He could be suffering from a number of things, like depression, he could be bipolar, he could be off because of the drugs, or he may be reacting in the trauma caused from his mothers death. Whatever his problem is, he needs help, and it doesnt have to be your job to give it to him. You need to distance yourself from him as much as possible. Don't talk to him, don't email him, take him off your myspace, etc. It may be rough for a bit, but he will begin to grow away from you as well. Throwing more fuel in the fire will only cause more trouble. If after time he's still harrassing you, or he does something that has the potential to harm you or the people in your life, it's time to take action. Tell a parent, conselor, or even the police if it's a serious enough matter. It sounds like Im over thinking it, but things like these can get out of hand very fast, and you can find yourself in a bad position very quickly. So do what you have to and control your life, don't let him.


i was just female masterbating around the bottom just rubbing tho not going in
and so i saw white stuff.
not coming out of my vag
but around my clit?
just like holes and white stuff coming out?
im so scared what is it pls help.
when i got up
i found two wet spots underneath me?
whats happening im so confused (link)
Thats NATURAL. Your "coming" or "cumming" which is what happens usually when your clit is stimulated. It is actually coming out of your vagina.


I recently bought puma sneakers with suede on them. The lady at the store said that they can get ruined in the rain, but I always see a ton of people wearing them all the time with no problems. They're the Puma Women's Speed Cat. How would I take care of them?? Should I really not wear them in the rain?? Any cheap products I can buy?? Any other ideas/opinions?? Thanks!! (link)
Like Claire said, get water protection for your sneakers. But I really wouldn't worry about it, because I have suede uggs that I wore in the rain and snow and were barely harmed.


what does it mean when you have your cherry pop can it pop when your using a tampon and is it a bad thing and like cuase you to not have your period anymore (link)
Having your "cherry pop" is the breaking of your hymen, and it is not a bad thing, it is a common occurence amongst girls. Some girls don't have hymens, are born with hymens that are placed so they will never be stressed or broken, and some have hymens that are positioned to get torn. Sports, inserting a tampon, intercourse, or vigorous activity really, can break it. It may hurt a little and there may be a small amount of blood flow, but it is not anything to be worried about. You will still get your period, hymen or not.


I am a 30 year old mother of 3.
My son has had a TSS worker, (Therapeutic Staff Support) for a little over a year now. This TSS worker cross many professional boundaries, and it evolved into what I felt was a friendship. She was a great support for me in so many ways; in both a personal level and a professional level. There was times when I just cried and cried, and she listened. We shared many phone conversations. The problem is now she has left us as a TSS, and has taken on a supervisor’s role.
Things have happened since she is in the new role, and I feel as if she has stabbed me in the back. I talked to her yesterday, and even though she wants to talk with me outside of the professional side of services. She feels that she can no longer do it. She wants to go back to being strictly professional. This leaves me without that much needed friend. How do I personally deal with this loss? How do I go back to dealing with her on a professional level?


(link)
Talk to your friend again. If she was your shoulder to cry on for so long, why would she suddenly turn her back on you? Possible reasons could be cruel, like she feels to good to be mingling with you at a higher position she holds, or hidden reasons, such as she feels to pressured under her new job that she can't deal with other peoples problems such as yourself, or there are things going on with her at home that she isn't comfortable sharing. I don't think it's platonic that she just wants to stop your friendship.

Invite her out to dinner, just you two, to celebrate her promotion (write her a letter if she refuses). Maybe you can find out if there is something bothering her, or start a new tradition of a friendship outside of the work place if not.

If she really wants to end your friendship without proper explanation, that is her choice. It is a painful loss, but know that she is the one with the problem, not you. Try out reaching to fellow co workers, and making a new friendship, a more dependable one. There is no easy way to deal with the loss of a friend, but it will get better over time.


okay so i have a concern....
now, my boyfriend is bisexual and im perfectly okay with it. now if we have a threesome with another man, and my boyfriend gives the other man oral sex and THEN oral sex to me directly after, is it possible for me to get pregnant? (link)
Most likely no, but if any semen got into his mouth, there is a chance (but very very small) that you could get pregnant. How about he gives you oral first just to be safe?


what types of tampons are there
i know there's plastic and card board is there any other kind
if there is which one is best to use so you won't get tss (link)
Plastic, cardboard, and ones without any applicator like OB.

The applicator (or lack there of) will not increase nor decrease your chances of getting toxic shock syndrome. Like the person below me said, it's how your body reacts to it.

To avoid the (small) risk of TSS, change your tampon regularly (every 4 to 6 hours, or as needed), use the minimum requirement for your flow, and use a pad at night time.



18/f
so i bought some "booty shorts", tried them on, and realize i have major cottage cheese-ness going on back there. is there anything specific i can do for this or jus cardio exercise? im about to leave for college so a gym will be right there. ANY SUGGESIONS WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED =) thanks so much! (link)
Cardio (running especially) and exercises like sqauts and lunges will take care of that.


yesterday i lost my virginity to this amazing guy that i have been seeing for about 2 months already.
we were dating before but it didn't work out as planned. i'm 15 and he's 18.

when i lost my virginity, afterwards i was emotional because i felt dirty and slutty.
is that normal?


and where can you get the morning after pill?
we used a condom and it didnt break,but just to make sure.


thanks . (link)
It's common, though not good, to feel dirty after sex. It could mean you weren't ready for sex, among other reasons.

If the condom didn't break, then there's no need for the morning after pill. I believe the statitics are your 90-99 percent protected if a condom was used.


What exactly is dry humping? (link)
The term is self explanatory. It's like sex, but your wearing clothes, and everyone keeps there body parts to themselves, lol. It's like rolling around without engaging in sexual contact, producing some of the pleasure of sex without worrying about birth control.


Well first off i didn't know what to put this under. But my sister is turning 21 in a few days and i have absolutely NO money to buy her anything. I wanted to make something, Any ideas? I was thinking something that had to do with pictures and quotes and whatever else. Any ideas? ANYTHING will help!! Thanks (link)
It's true that it's the thought that counts. I've gotten lots of material items as presents, but my most prized possesion is a shadow box my best friends made me. So be creative! You can make a scrap book, a photo album, a song (if your musically talented), a shadow box, a picture frame, or even a webpage/online slide show dedicated to her. Or since 21's a big year, there are many parody gifts you could give her. (she mainly grew up in the 90's, so you could print one of those "you know you were a kid in the 90's if..."
Or if you want to give her an item with less meaning and more gift value, you can easily make things at home, like candles for instance.
If you've got limited funds, I suggest going to the dollar store and just putting together funny gifts. (my friend bought bras from the dollar store and personalized them for her friend's birthday.

I'm done ranting! Just be creative and your sister will love her gift!

I've heard MAC makeup is really good.
I'll be going to the store soon.. I don't know what to get

I just want some foundation-powder to cover acne/scars/even out my skin tone. I also want blush [is creme or powder better? more natural, i guess]. A good liquid eyeliner too?

Any suggestions? I've been on the site but I'm lost. I don't know what products work well or anything. What's your favorite product for foundation-powder, blush, eyeliner?

Pictures would be helpful too. To give me an idea on how good it looks.

THANKS! :] (link)
MAC is a good brand, a lot of models use it, but unless we know what you look like we can't recommend anything specific. I suggest you go to a department store where they will have a MAC makeup counter, and the artist can suggest products to you, and she/he can even apply it so you can see how it looks before buying it.

how do you know if it breaks? (link)
The previous answers aren't exactly true.

You may or may not bleed, and you may or may not even be able to tell if it breaks. It may not even break. If it does, you might feel some pain, or just kind of a pressure or streching feeling. It can break when inserting a tampon, during activites like sports, or while having sex. I remember reading somewhere that some girls aren't even born with hymens. And some girls' hymens are in a position where it won't break. It's different for everyone.


i dont really pay attention to ratings because i just started but i gave someone a detailed answer and he gave me a 3. its not so much his rating its his comment:
Thank you for your answer. I would give you a 4 but you didn't capitalize. Otherwise it was a good answer.
what does capitalizing have to do with anything? (link)
I think everyone would rather read a properly written response then one that is incorrect, but I don't think that's what people should base ratings upon. It's about the advice, and the ability to understand the advice. So if your mistakes didn't make your advice illegible, then I think that rating was unfair. But just to be safe from now on, I'd suggest to try to always use proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
