Author has written 20 stories for Bones, Grey's Anatomy, CSI: New York, and Against the Wall. First of all, thanks for stopping by my profile! I hope that means you are reading and enjoying my stories, or that I'm reading and enjoying one of yours! I know that I have a lot of stories posted right now that are still 'in progress'. I promise that each of these stories will be finished in good time, even if they appear at the moment to have been abandoned. That isn't the case, and I would never leave you all hanging permanently! Because of a variety of circumstances in my life, I no longer have the time to write that I once had. Rather than abandon my stories completely, I have chosen to focus on one or two at a time, bringing each one to completion before moving on to the next. I do make every effort not to begin publishing a story unless I have at least sketched out five chapters, often more. If I start something, I want you to know that it has a clear direction (clear to me, anyway - I make no promises that everything will be clear to readers after only a few chapters!). That said, my storylines are constantly being tweaked and polished as the chapters come together. I also don't tend to write more than three or four chapters ahead of what I have published. My point is, if you have suggestions and/or requests for a direction you think I should go in or a pairing you'd like to see developed in any particular story, I'm always happy to hear it - send me a PM or, better yet, leave it in a review! I can't make any guarantees that I'll be able to incorporate everything, but I do read and respond to every review and have on several occasions been able to work in my readers' requests. I suppose this is the part where I tell you a bit about myself, right? I'm female, somewhere in my twenties, located in sunny California. By day, I'm an office manager; by night, a fanatical writer. I write fan fiction and my own fiction, although I'm nowhere near ready to share the latter just yet. I've got a lengthy list of shows that I love, both current and past, although I've only ever written for four of them - Against the Wall, Bones, Grey's Anatomy and CSI:NY. I am currently mulling ideas for my first Criminal Minds fanfic. I don't go the movies often, but I love curling up and watching a good classic film - Casablanca, The Philadelphia Story, It Happened One Night, Guess Who's Coming To Dinner (the original, not the remake), My Girl Friday...they just don't make 'em like they used to, do they? Much to the surprise of many who know me, I am a huge country music fan. Go ahead, make your jokes if you'd like, but it's what I enjoy listening to. If you've read any of the songfics I've posted on this site, chances are you already guessed that little tidbit! | |||||||
