| Muriel Candytuft |
Author has written 32 stories for Chronicles of Narnia, Treasure Planet, The Santa Clause, Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Daxter, Numb3rs, Ratatouille, and Legend of Zelda. In 2006, I brought my first story - a sheepish, unwieldy, melodramatic Narnian story - to FFN. The moment I got my very first review, I was hooked. For a year, I read happily and wrote madly - mostly Narnia, but a bit of Treasure Planet as well. After dabbling in some fics for my favorite PS2 games, I took a hiatus from FFN in the middle of 2007. I came back in late 2008 and discovered that I can also write for Ratatouille. Recently I discovered Zelda and I hope to write a good amount of stories for that, too. So, there you go. That's what I've been doing since I got here. I hope you enjoy my stories - Narnia, Treasure Planet, Ratatouille, or otherwise. Thank you for your readership and all the great reviews!

I'm RELIGIOUS, so I MUST shove my beliefs down your throat. I'm REPUBLICAN, so I MUST not care about poor people. I'm SOUTHERN, so I MUST be white trash. I'm IRISH, so I MUST have a bad drinking problem I'm JEWISH, so I MUST be greedy. I HAVE STRAIGHT A'S, so I MUST have no social life. (Well, now that you mention it...just kidding.) I'm a GIRL who actually EATS LUNCH, so I MUST be fat. "If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain." Emily Dickinson "A woman especially, if she have the misfortune of knowing anything, should conceal it as well as she can." Jane Austen "Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups." Some guy, who probably ripped it off from some other guy "When in Rome, do as the Greeks do, just to spite the Romans."
