As the writer:

You know me from the Degrassi fandom. Team Craig! I heard about When Doves Cry from my brother way back during Season 2 and I knew I'd love it. I can actually remember that I saw Drive first and that final Craig/Joey scene was such a tease. Craig the rock star can be hard to enjoy but I still stay loyal to him, hoping for more angst. Craig Manning is really the only character that I understand so I love to write him. It actually scares me to think of putting another character in the spotlight (and it frightens me even more to think of working on original characters that were hatched from my own crazy brain). I guess that "What Was Left Unsaid" is where I go to be safe. I started writing chunks of it back in 2004 to distract myself from anxiety and art college and in 2007 I found myself working on it again, rewriting and reordering it and making it what it is today. I don't know when it will end and even at 20 something chapters, I'm not sure I want it to end. I feel like Craig is the boy who lives in the back of my mouth and lets me say things I can't say. But the story is fiction; it might draw from my life or things I see happening to others but it's no direct description of an event. There's things that I say and what I mean.

"Bad Blood," my Degrassi/Saw crossover was the result me really getting into Saw when I first saw it. I'm more of a fan of ghosts, not gore but that movie just sucked me in and I wrote the entire fic for about a month after I saw Saw. I haven't seen anything past Saw III.

Ideas I'm kicking around for future fics:

- "It Didn't Have to Be This Way" - We Craig fans have spent a lot of time wondering about the different ways When Doves Cry could have played out. This would be a collection of possibilities of outcomes, a collection of one shots of sorts.

- A Peter/Riley romance/angst fic. Based upon the Brad/Patrick relationship in Perks of Being a Wallflower.

As the reader:

I mainly read only Craig fan fiction that focuses on his struggles during season 2-ish or lays the angst on thick. I adore Craig slash and have joked that I'd ship him with just about any boy on the show. My preferred slash!Craig pairing is Seaig (Craig/Sean). I'm loyal to Crash fictions and try to keep them up to date at The Angsty Artists Online (I add individual Craig and Ashley stories there as well). I try to review what I can to show support for the Craig and Crash fan fiction writers and leave helpful reviews although sometimes I just don't know what to say so if I'm not reviewing, don't assume that I'm not reading and enjoying it. =)

As the fool:

I just recently figured out fanfiction.net's private messaging system so me not replying to any messages before was because I'm an idiot sometimes, not cause I didn't find you interesting.

Here's my Livejournal, if you want to snoop more. I'm not so good at friending people on that thing. Kind of shy at first...well and in real life too. But feel free to friend me if you think we'd have something in common. I'm a bit interesting and quite nuts once you get to know me.

My Fan History Wiki; bet you didn't know we had one of those did ya?
