Author has written 38 stories for Twilight, Pirates of the Caribbean, Breakfast Club, Bones, Misc. Books, Sweeney Todd, Book X-overs, Doctor Who, Big Bang Theory, House, M.D., Chronicles of Narnia, West Wing, and Merlin. Author's Note: I'm currently on summer holidays (and it's raining a lot, yay. D:), so I'm hoping to get some more writing done in the next two months, and hopefully you'll see some new things posted to this account soon. Introduction I'm Cuba, a sixteen year old Australian with an addiction to fandom and coffee, just like half the people around here. I'm a high school student, a part time checkout-chick, a future political journalist and/or author, and a dreamer. I like cupcakes, the smell of the ocean, the CAPSLOCK button and that fuzzy feeling you get when you receive letters in the mail. I'm a TV junkie, something which is actually a relatively new part of my personality (believe it or not, I was disgusted by TV until I was about thirteen. I think too many episodes of Home and Away with my friends rotted my mind D:) My favourite show is The West Wing, after I devoured all seven seasons in about two months earlier this year - it's witty, insightful and so wonderfully characterised and written. Aaron Sorkin is a genius. Currently, my favourite TV shows are: Bones, House, Doctor Who, Merlin, 30 Rock, The Big Bang Theory, The Office and Glee. I also like Torchwood, Firefly, Six Feet Under, The Tudors and Boston Legal and my plans for the holidays include watching Psych, Pushing Daisies, Arrested Development and either Chuck or Greek. Yeah, call me crazy. I've heard it all before. :-P As for other fandoms, I like various movies and books (although I'm no longer a Twilight fan, despite what this profile might suggest), and am occasionally persuaded to write for them. I'm also addicted to Harry Potter, my fic for which can be found here. | |||||||||
