Hi,

I am a 50 something, male. Handicapped to a wheelchair, but enjoying every minute of my life. And if I hear an "Awww", you shall be crowned, and banished to another realm (rule well, THERE).

As indicated by the above comments, I can also be ornery, obnoxious, and hard to live with, just ask my family. Allergic to mornings, too. Happily, they say that they love me anyway.

My family also says I'm full of ... ideas, but I haven't been able to put together enough to qualify for even 1 chapter or episode. I do enjoy helping though, so if you need a story idea, or need a writer's block breakthrough, I'd love trying. Just remember, I am only a "small" genius, so I can't guarantee that anything I came up with would be a lot of help, sorry bout that.

I am a member of a small, "Bet-cha-ain't-read-this" group, so if my idea well goes dry, I have a respectable back up system to bounce problems off of.

Oh, references:

Since both of my parents were teachers, I have been reading since I was 5 (no, I haven't written the petrogylph's or anything from the stone-age). Much to my parents disgust, I have always enjoyed fiction (anything cept horror), more than than school work, specially scifi/fantasy.

We have a respectable home entertainment system, and we have accumulated a "way to big a collection" of recorded and purchased movie's, cartoon's, anime, and music. And if I don't have one of my kids dose.

My children, all over 20, have got me addicted to anime. My oldest, much to my wife's disgust, has gotten me addicted to fanfiction. My lady says I have to much time on my hands, but since I am staying ahead of her honey-do list, she lets my play with my computer, uh, yeaaa!?

I have two major soapboxes:

#1 - Harry Potter would probably have died on suicide attack against Valdimore if Dumbledore had not died early of stupidity. The supposed greatest light side wizard puts on the ring known to be once owned by the greatest EVIL wizard. C'mon already.

#2 - The most brilliant witch of a number of life times hooks up with a wizard with the "emotional depth of a spoon", who is "ONLY" interested in eating, quiditch, and pleasing his mother. Hermione would be smothered, and he never let her out shine himself (see Goblet of Fire, and how he can walk away during away during Horicrux hunt).

I try to end my reviews with a wish that the MUSE (spirit's of inspiration) may always be with you. I want to be sure the fanfic's keep coming, are finished, and I think it's cool and cute, so:

May the MUSE (all 9, "now" a friend? tells me) always be with you!!
