I guess there isn't really any way to make an original bio anymore so I guess I'll just give you some insights into my life and hope that is enough :)
Name : Melissa, 'Lissa, or Mel
Age : I turned 25 on Jan. 14
Ambitions : To become an actual 'Published' Author. (or maybe a photographer, or decorator, or dog walker - whichever)
Now that that's over with...
I actually started writting fanfics back in '97, '98, when 'Buffy' was in it's hayday. I used to post on this site way back when 'Roswell' debuted too - though it was all under my old screenname, True Blue Healer.
After both those shows got butchered (damn those writters!) and moved to different networks, I eventually gave up and started writting for other ones, then eventually moved on to my original stories. I recently (well, as recently as 2 years ago actually is) started my own novel I intend to submitt to be published but eventually suffered the horrible and crippling writers block ( I feel even typing it will jinx me more...) I've put my own story on hold and just recently and came back to fanfic - though I never stopped writting it, this is my first posting in over 5 years.
I've written for all my TV addictions over the years : Dawsons Creek (Joey and Pacey - the one show to get it right by the end!), Dark Angel (Max and Alec all the way - damn Logan to hell!), Gilmore Girls (Jess is perfection - 'nough said), and of course the before-mentioned BtVS (I don't care what anyone says - Xander is WAY better than Angel and Spike and deserved Buffy!) and Roswell (by the end of season 2, I totally wanted Liz to choose Alex over Max...but then they had to go and kill him off!!)
I guess I should also include that while I love to write, I love to read even more. I'm a avid book reader though I'm seriously lacking lately (marriage life really drains on your own personal free time) I just recently stumbled onto Stephenie Meyer's 'Twilight', 'New Moon', and 'Eclipse' and instantly realized that I was hooked - I read all three novels in 3 days (I basically sat in a chair and didn't move) and have already re-read all three again.
And, even as I cringe to admitt this, since as my husband puts it - 'I'm way too old to read these teenager teeny-bopper books' (his words, not mine) - I love ANYTHING by Meg Cabot : she is a godess. I grab up her books every chance I get. I also adore Patricia Briggs - Mercy rocks! - and of course Melinda Metz ('Roswell High' and the 'Fingerprint' series) though I haven't read any of her new ones since she ended those two series. Obviously I love Christopher Golden and Nancy Holder cause they were the best, best, BEST 'BtVS' writers - I collected all the books for that show until around the last two seasons. I just couldn't even bare to read the books after the show went so wrong in my eyes... :(
Also read the books for all my other tv shows, though not as strictly as BtVS (can you sense that this was my very first tv addiction? It was like air to me! LoL) and even did some fanfiction for them.
So...here I am now, years and years older, ropped back once again in fanfiction...and I'm loving every minutes! Now I just got to find out why no one has started an 'About A Girl' spot for fics...
Updates On My Fics!
Full Moon : Still in progess. AS OF 08/25 Ok...writers block SERIOUSLY sucks - I mean majorly! I have tried and tried to get out chapter 11 on this fic, but people, I would rather wait months than give you guys something horrible to read...
Taxi Service With A Smile : Still in progress. AS OF 08/25 With this being a collection of one-shots, I'm not keeping up a traditional posting schedule with this fic; ie, I post when the new idea's pop in my head! But I HAVE started a new one for Emmett :)
A Walk In The Park : Backburned. AS OF 08/25 But just because it's put on the back of the stove doesn't mean it sill ain't cooking! :)
GG 'Simple Plan' songfics Series ('Your Love Is A Lie', 'Save You', & 'Perfect World') : Complete AS OF 04/01 I'm planning on starting a new 'chapter' in this series! It will be a prequel to the before-mentioned POV's detailing what happened the first time Rory and Jess met again after she finished college! Like the other's it will be loosely connected with a Simple Plan song, but will NOT be an actual songfic! It will have multi-chapters and everything!!
A Past That You Forgave : Backburned. AS OF 08/25
