Author has written 15 stories for Ninja Turtles. Hey, thanks for visiting! I'm not much for bios, but here's a little about how I got here. Right off the bat, you'll only find stories about those loveable mutants the Ninja Turtles here! I'm in my 20's, female, and I've been a TMNT fan since the old 80's cartoon. But it wasn't until the 2007 movie came out that I started thinking turtles again, and when I started watching all of the 2K3 cartoon episodes, I was hooked all over. So here I am! What I strive for in my own writing is exactly what I most like to read. Which is to say, "poetry in prose". I live for a word, or phrase, or paragraph that gives me that shiver, that lump in my throat--that image so vivid I see it perfectly in my mind's eye... I agonize over my writing (which is not to say I don't have fun with it!), and try to give those same things to my readers. That being said, of course not everything can be poetry! So the trick is to mix it in seamlessly with everything else--humor and drama and pain and joy. :) So if you read any of my stories, and you run across something that gives you a thrill, I've accomplished what I set out to do. And if you really want to make my week... tell me about it! Pura Vida, "I think this is the prettiest world - so long as you don't mind a little dying . . ." Notes About My Stories: 1. All works are considered stand-alone, so although I occasionally draw on aspects of stories I've already written, there is no true order that needs to be followed to understand them. 2. I'm always looking to improve, so please know that constructive criticism is both welcome and appreciated - be it spelling, grammar, characterization, or anything at all. Fanart by Mainframe: The wonderfully talented Mainframe (thedyeiscast on deviantART) has posted some lovely pieces inspired by some of my stories. Below is a link to her gallery page where you will find pictures of Turtle Tot Leo 1, 2, & 3, as well as Scars and Subtle Edge. If you drop by, I'm sure she'd appreciate some feedback! http://thedyeiscast.deviantart.com/gallery/ Role Playing In addition to writing fanfiction, I now play the part of Raphael in the fabulous Terrapin Tarts role-playing game, which includes such stellar players as Winnychan, Tori Angeli, Aubretia Lycania, and DeeMG. I am absolutely thrilled (and honored) to be part of this game and this cast. If you care to check it out, head over to http://www.terrapintarts.com/forums/ and check out the RPG section! 3-9-09 Whoa! First entry of 2009, and way past due for an update! But that's because there isn't much news at the moment. I'm still plugging away at Bound, which is drawing to a close, and Interludes, will like likely continue for at least a while once Bound is finished. Besides that, I'm becoming rather obsessed with writing 100 word drabbles. A well-done drabble is like a hit-and-run--just because it's over quickly doesn't mean it hits with less force. ;) 8-30-08 K, that part about updates speeding up? cough That, um... doesn't seem to be working out. (Stupid full-time job!) But I'm still working on both Bound and Interludes, so thanks to those of you sticking with me! 5-10-08 Yay! Thesis Hell is finally over! Which means, hopefully updates for Bound (which is now approaching the length of my entire thesis anyway) should proceed more quickly. Yup, still going, and I'm really excited about some of the stuff coming up, so I hope you stay tuned and tell me what you think. :) 3-16-08 Still continuing work on Bound, but unfortunately since posting ch 5, updates will be slow until I complete my thesis later this spring. Thanks everyone for your encouragement, and I hope you'll stay tuned! | |||||||||
