I'm a 20-something Non-Existent working on my Masters degree in Secondary English/Language Arts Education; however, my job path would preferably be something within the anime industry (like every other anime fan, I'm sure.)
I love to write, another one of my goals is to get published. I'm working on my own, original fiction on the side while I write fanfiction for improvements, and just for shits and giggles. One of my recent fics "Unexpected Endeavors," won third place for Best Original Character in the InuYasha Fan Guild. Don't let this award fool you though, I am not a huge fan of IY (er, well at least not anymore) but I love to manipulate the characters to my whim. I'm also active in many Ouran and Naruto fic communities. You can find all of my fanfiction over at my LJ comm:

Here are other communities I recommend to visit over at Livejournal:
The Ultimate Anime Showdown:
http://community.livejournal.com/anime_showdown
Where each week various anime characters are pitted against each other in a battle where only *you* can choose the victor. "Their fate lies in your hands. Scary, isn't it?"
Ouran High School Host Club Contest:
http://community.livejournal.com/ouran_contest
A bi-weekly fanfiction challenge community for the anime and manga series, Ouran High School Host Club. This contest is supposed to challenge people with weekly themes, and award the best fics according to popular vote. Also, these challenges are meant to improve your writing and help you have a little fun in some competition.
Shikon Awards:
http://community.livejournal.com/shikon_awards/
The Shikon Awards is a community dedicated to evaluating and recognizing those fanfictions that are truly exceptional in the Inuyasha fandom. There are two rounds a year.

I am also the coordinator for AUSAM-Con, my local anime club's first annual anime festival. I'll list off more information for that when available.
