Author's Note: February 8, 2010

Wow...after two months of company and a really big snow storm I'm FINALLY back to my computer and writing this morning! We got over 30 inches here, which for DC is devastating ~ 48 hours later we still haven't seen a snow plow. The kids are still home from school and monopolizing the computer, but I'm going to do my best to get my handwritten version of Hartland into Word before the next storm hits tomorrow (up to another 10 inches)...sigh.

About my fanfics:

1. The Coins:The Coins was my very first fanfic ever and is a celebration of 15 years of Power Rangers in the US. It begins at the MMPR 10 year reunion at Angel Grove High and takes them on a wild ride with every kind of villain from a new Rita and Lord Zedd to an intergalactic sorceress named Teeg, to an interdimensional demon version of Kimberly named Kemora. The Rangers are all 10 years older and have all gone on with their lives, but once a Ranger, always a Ranger; right? It mentions a lot of standard pairings, the most significant of which is Kim/Tommy and yes, I chose to draw on the Muirantian aspect from the movie. The idea for it began in late 2006 as a movie script and, like a lot of things that are done jointly, the original six collaborators all branched out and eventually did their own thing. I could never have put it together without the original group though, which is why I continue to give them credit. (COMPLETE).

2. The Alternate: The Alternate is a celebration of all alternate universes everywhere and the minds of those who imagine them. It's premise: What happens when original characters grow up differently and under different circumstances? Are they hard wired to become what they did in the original canon or did their alternate experiences morph them into something different? Then it asks the question of what would happen if alternate universes crossed and familiar faces from very different worlds were forced to depend on one another. Each chapter is shorter and lighter than The Coins and is not nearly as serious :o) (COMPLETE)

3. Hartland:Netau has sent forces back in time to insure Kim's grandfather is never born. As an equaline wave threatens to erase all traces of Kim from their dimension, Kim and Tommy race back in time to an 1880's Angel Grove where Calamity Kim is reunited with old friends and Tommy is given one last chance to seek guidance from a 19th Century Zordon. Together, they must unravel not only Netau's plot, but their own links to Angel Grove's history and to each other. (IN PROGRESS)

4. The Alternate: A Zeo Beginning. This is a transition story between The Alternate and The Alternate: Senior year. It explains how the team transitioned out of the Mighty Mophin Powers and into Zeo. Life was just about perfect for the Alternate, that is, until her mother decided to get married again and move the family to France. Now the young Kim who had survived the death of her family and the destruction of her home world by the demon Kemora was being separated by an entire ocean from the only person in the entire universe she loved with all her heart. Worse, Zordon insisted she hand over her Ninjetti power coin to Katherine Hillard. It was only for a year, but she was well aware that in that short eternity anything could happen…(In Progress)

5. The Triads: (On hold). The Triads will continue the story of the characters through the "quiet life" that follows Teeg's attack in the Coins. It will focus on the personal lives of the characters (including three weddings and possibly some children), the rebuilding of Earth and the build up to SPD, as well as the Triad's search for the shard coins and a being who appears to be masquerading as Zordon. Now that rumors of the massive battle with Teeg and the ferocity of Earth's Rangers have begun to spread across the galaxy, is Earth really safe from warlords who might consider it a challenge? Can the Red Assembly control the influx of intergalactic refugees who descend in droves begging protection and safe harbor on the "Planet of Rangers?" What happens when a massive morphanological energy wave precedes the biggest baby boom in Earth's history? Will Tommy be able to adjust to the quiet life at home while having absolutely no control over the Triad team?

6. The Alternate: Senior Year. I'm not sure when this will debut. I'm still putting the outline together so keep checking back!

7. Thomas:One of my readers asked me to do a back story on Thomas, who made his debut in the Coins and also plays a big role in the Alternate's life. He's a very complicated character with a very dark and tragic life. I'm not sure exactly how I want to string this particular story together, but I'll definitely keep you posted.

Character note: The original character of Carri Hillard is not my character and is adapted, with permission, from KJ’s Ranger Scrolls and Legacy series ( http://www.fanfiction.net/u/4024/KJ). KJ introduced me to the world of fanfiction and my stories just didn’t feel right without her. KJ created her in 1997 to be the fiery cousin to the mild Katherine Hillard and, to me, she was already firmly established in my mind as a PR character before I ever began writing. I understand she is new to almost everyone else, but I hope you will grow to love her as much as I have. Since debuting in my universe in the Coins, she has made appearances in both the Alternate, Hartland, and the upcoimg Triads.

About Me:

I used to think I was far too old to admit to reading and writing Power Ranger fanfiction, but then I read a quote from Dr. Suess that said: Be what you are and say what you feel, because those that matter don’t mind and those that mind don’t matter. Since then, I’ve held my head up, ignored the giggles and eye rolls of my husband and friends, and have been happily writing it ever since.

I live in the DC suburbs of Virginia with my wonderful hubby of eleven years and two kids: one of which is a closet PR fan who adores Tommy/Kim and the other who openly worships every red Ranger known to man (AND YES! WE'RE ALL BUMMED RPM ISN'T SHOWN IN OUR AREA!!). I’m currently a professional photographer and am working my way back up the belts in Tae Kwon Do, taking it a lot more seriously this time around….and am even competing again...(gasps)... and loving every minute of pretending I way younger than I really am. My daughter and I are in a race to black belt, so stay tuned on who wins!

I’ve had a very blessed and privileged life (Read: I was spoiled rotten growing up), traveling all over the globe, but I’ve also lived through some astoundingly hard times which have had the nasty effect of maturing me against my will. I’ve survived not one, but two, natural disasters, including being caught, as an adult, in a category five hurricane and an erupting sulfuric volcano; both of which destroyed my homes.

I’ve had lots and lots of years of education, including a few years in medical school, but I wasn’t a very responsible student and could often times be caught in the back of the room reading graphic novels and drawing anime (grins sheepishly)…hey, it’s better than dissecting dead bodies!

Thankfully, I was smart enough to marry a very serious, mature, hardworking, and responsible man... but then had the audacity to thank him for his staid patriarchy by birthing two little Super Sentai nuts... who are exactly like me. Now the poor thing is encumbered with three of us instead of one…

In my time, I’ve done a little acting, a little modeling, and a few pageants…and yes, I have published a little piece or two of my writing, but none of it was sci/fi fantasy and so minor and un-noticed I really don’t count it.

I absolutely ADORE reviews, they are positively critical to fanning my self-esteem… so please, please, PLEASE, make sure you tell me if you like my writing! And, if by chance you don’t like what I post…that’s ok, please skip the review box…I don’t need to know :o)

I’m very generous and sweet person by nature, so if you want to borrow my characters for another fanfiction story, that’s fine…BUT… please ask me first, just to be nice, and let me know when you post (so I can read it)…oh, and please give me credit; I try and bend over backwards to do so for others.

Unfortunately, I'm no longer Beta reading. It took way too much time and between real life and a serious case of ADD, I simply wasn't getting my stories written. If I've already Beta'ed for you in the past or if I already agreed to read a story for you, OF COURSE I'll keep reading your stories! I just can't take on anything new - sorry!

Itachi's aprentice 2008-12-09 . chapter 11

The premise of the Coin Series has been borrowed from a story written by Terry, Chris, Daniel, Brice, Katey and myself.

The story the guys and I wrote was actually a screenplay and not posted (that I know of) on fanfiction.net. Back in 2006, we spent weeks pulling it together and then it fell apart and we all went out and did our own thing; although I'm told Terry is still writing it.

Demon King, and the concepts surrounding him, is a villain completely created by Daniel and borrowed with permission for the Coins. The idea to bring Rita and Zedd back, but change them just a little, was also a group decision and we discussed that at length. Teeg was created by my daughter Katey and I created the viratrons (based on the Demon King virus of Daniel's) and claybots (look like putties & take 3 moves to destroy) but they were all openly discussed by the group. Also discussed by the group was the idea of starting out at the reunion and I'm pretty sure the decision to bring in the other reds.

The differences are easier to map. The guys basically wanted it to be really dark, a lot more action and zord scenes, and laughed at the idea that I wanted just a little romance in there for the female audience. They were also adamant that Tommy HAD to be with Kat and Kim not be in it ( except for Chris G), which sent my daughter into fits and started me off telling her alternate stories (which eventually became the Coins)... and of course another difference is Carri (she's KJ's character and wasn't in the script).

The short of it is though, the guys had a lot to do with prompting me to write the Coins and I've always felt I needed to give them credit for that.

Our discussions spurred my imagination and got me dreaming about it. Daniel loaned me his Demon King, Chris G was there with ideas when I got stuck (he's the Solar Force Ranger by the way), Brice is the king of all Power Ranger gurus (my own private Ranger encyclopedia to whom I'm eternally grateful), and Terry started it all with the idea to do the script.

Hope that helps!

In answer to a few questions I've had about "canon" and both my detailed mention and simultaneous complete disregard for it, let me simply answer that: My Alternate Universes will follow both movies and disregard the TV broadcasts in regards to Ninjor and the Christmas episode which hints that Tommy grew up and married Kat.

HOWEVER I do give a huge nod to "canon" and acknowledge that Ninjor DID exist, just alternately, and that Kat and Tommy are a legitimate PR couple ( They're just not together in my AU's). At this point, I feel confident in saying all my fanfics will end up Kim/Tommy because those are the only stories my daughter wants to hear and because my stories tend to mesh with KJ's AU (http://www.fanfiction.net/u/4024/KJ).

That said, this is my Alternate Universe. It's not perfect, and in true Ranger style it can be a little silly, but at it's core, it's a window into my imagination in which I welcome you to come and play. Whatever your expectations, your theories, or your daydreams... I hope you enjoy.

Thank you to everyone who has emailed me and written reviews! The Coins Series and The Alternate have been a lot of fun to write and I've really enjoyed hearing form everyone.

I'm absolutely fine with people using my characters for other fanfiction stories, but please ask me first (I'm not gonna say no if you give me credit for them) and please let me know when you post so I can read it!
