A Bit About Me

Hi, I'm Donny's Boy. Feel free to call me DB or Donny if you'd like. (I also get "Danny" a lot, and that's fine too.)

Some things about me, in no particular order: bisexual/queer, vegetarian, theologically curious, politically active, southern-fried law grad. Have guitar, will travel. Love all creatures great and small, with particular fondness for rats and other small rodents--but would prefer if arachnids would choose to stay outdoors.

Ship Ahoy!

To ship or not to ship? That is the question ... Oh, how I love ships. They speak to everyone's inner 13-year-old romantic who's never been kissed. Well, maybe it's just my inner 13-year-old. At any rate, in no particular order, here are some pairings for which I'm a total sucker and probably have written/will write for:

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Donatello/April O'Neil
Star Trek: Spock/McCoy (TOS), Data/Yar (TNG), Picard/Crusher (TNG), Odo/Kira (DS9), Doctor/Just About Anybody (Voyager)
Rugrats/All Grown Up: Chuckie/Angelica
My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Twilight Sparkle/Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy/Pinkie, Rarity/Pinkie Pie, Rarity/Applejack, and Rainbow Dash/Pinkie Pie

My profile picture was created by my talented Beloved Spouse.


1. Almost Beautiful
Rarity has always believed that there exists a prince for every princess. And she's not wrong about that. She's just not right for quite the exact reasons she thinks she is.

2. Between Chaos and Creation » reviews
The sun is big and beautiful and bright. It warms you up, and it makes you smile. But the sun can also exhaust you. And if you stare directly into the sun, if you get all caught up in its beauty and forget to look away, it can blind you ... Pinkie Pie is Fluttershy's sun.

3. Friends and Lovers » reviews
A series of vignettes exploring various pony ships. Because shipping is magic. Current: "Promises, Promises," RainbowPie.

6. Take the Long Way Home reviews
Applejack reached up with a fore hoof to touch the brim of her hat. It was habitual, almost unconscious. She could feel, nestled safely underneath the hat, her two most precious treasures-a single blue feather and a small snippet of purple mane. They were precious, more precious than anything besides her family and her farm, because they were only pieces of them she'd ever have.
