Saw Cinderella in a party dress
But she was looking for a nightgown
I saw the devil wrapping up his hands
He's getting ready for the showdown
I saw the ending when they turned the page
I took my money and I ran away
Straight to the Valley of the Great Divide
Out where the dreams all hide, out where the wind don't blow
Out here the good girls die and the sky won't snow
Out here the bird don't sing, out here the field don't grow
Out here the bell don't ring, out here the bell don't ring
Out here the good girls die

In short, I am a 20 year old college student. In long, my passions all revolve around story-telling, because posting persistent ideas on the ether that is FanFiction.Net is not the only way I unleash my imagination. Oh, no. For I am one of those dreaded masses, the coffee-hoarding, late-night working, half-carpenter half-light technician breed from the seedy underbelly of society. A drama major. Oftentimes people who hear this disgraceful truth are quick to tut and shake their heads in sympathy. "Can't do anything else?" they ask, feigning kindness but doing an altogether poor job of it. (I'm an actor, I can tell.) And no, I cannot do anything else. Story-telling is my life, whether it be for a live audience or for a solitary person staring at their computer and looking for something to spark their interest in the wee hours of the morning. Or the late hours of the morning. Or hell, even the afternoon. What do I care when you read my stories? As long as you enjoy them!

And I hope you do. :)

I love Chuck/Blair and all their tumultuous relationship dynamics, but I also enjoy a little Blair/Nate back when they were young and...sort of innocent; I prefer Blair & Nate friendship post-relationship drama stories. And, don't shoot me, but I'm a Jenny fan. Okay, so her eye makeup got a little ridiculous for a while there (a lot ridiculous) and her so-called 'rebellion' made my head hurt. But she's just a 14-15 year old girl and she'll get better with age. =) I think she and Blair could be pretty decent friends, given the right circumstances and the right situation... and yay for her being queen! The dynamic between Blair and Eleanor and the growth of their relationship is also great to watch - Eleanor is pretty misguided at times, but at the end of the day she really does love her daughter and Blair can't help but love her too. I love all the characters for their little idiosyncrasies, but I have to admit that I'm probably the least supportive Vanessa Abrams person you're likely to EVER meet -- she just rubs me the wrong way, even though most of the time she's 'morally' right (pft, get your morals off my nighttime drama), she's just so self-righteous and judgmental about it. Anyway, enough of that rant.

Other relationships I love include: Buffy/Spike, the Xander-Buffy-Willow friendship, James/Lily, the James and Sirius friendship, MWPP as a group getting up to mischief, Draco/Ginny, the occasional Harry/Hermione even though Ron/Hermione is my favorite canon ship, the Remus and Sirius friendship post-Prisoner of Azkaban, and The Trio's friendship outside of saving the planet from evil.

ARCHIVE - LIVEJOURNAL - TWITTER

I also post my fanfiction in my personal proboards archive and on my livejournal account (as well as the gossipgirlfic community). My archive is more for storing my fics on another web location because you never know what's going to happen with FF.N, socializing within the fanfiction community (so join to just talk on the disccusion board!) and linking each other to great fics. My livejournal is where I'll be writing about the process of writing each chapter, so you can know how things are coming along with my multi-chaptered fics/where I get inspiration for them and my one-shots, so add me as a friend and get in on the creativity. My twitter is my twitter, and it's filled with more real life things than fanfiction things, but every now and then I post on the status of chapters. Add me, but please message me and let me know you're from here or I'll probably accidentally ignore and block you. :(

More to come as creativity strikes.

Love to all,
xoxo CB
