Let's see OK. I am male. Well over fifty, and a grandfather. If you flame me I will come over and make you watch slide shows of my grand daughter until your eyes pop out (and you all thought Shego was evil). I work for a major corporation in a factory. I am a skilled tradesman and have been for thirty years. I am an Amateur Radio Operator, also known a HAM operator. I have trained in marital arts for years and have earned a fourth dan and am a master instructor. I am a veteran and am protective of our men and women in uniform.

I got into Kim Possible by watching the show. Enjoyed it and still do. I like the way Kim is portrayed mostly. She does try to be an average girl. She is sometimes a bit weird around the hottie boys. She can do anything and that includes screwing up. She is highly talented athletically and mentally, though not emtionally. She isn't complete until she has her best friend, Ron Stoppable, with her. In most ways he is her opposite. Neither make a fully complete person by themselves, but together they do. Both have to grow up a lot. Ron in different ways than Kim. His weaknesses are more apparent than Kim's, but she still has them. In my mind they fit like a puzzle when they are together. She is a straight line thinker, Ron is all over the place. He doesn't follow set rules, that's part of why he's an outcast.

I don't see Ron Stoppable as being the "loser". If he's that way it's an act. I don't see how anyone that can do or even attempt to do what he has done along side Kim Possible can be considered a loser. That is unless he's compared to her. If that was the case then 90 per cent of the boys in Middleton High are losers as well. As for buffoon it's too close to baboon and we all know how he thinks about monkeys (now re-thinking about that Spectre had an interesting take on Ron being a buffoon or better yet jester in one of the last chapters of 'Silence').

I guess like most I began reading first because I was a bit low after the show went off the air and needed to get my KP fix everyday. Now I have decided to do some writing with my less then highly developed skills (thank God for beta readers in general and CajunBear in particular).

Influences in FF. There's quite a few, but I'm going to list the ones that come to mind. Spectre666, CajunBear73, The Wise Duck, CaptainKodak1, Jeriddian, Daccu65, Commander Argus, G-go, Zaratan, Nutzkie, Thomas Linquist, MrDrP, Whitem, Screaming Phoenix, Waveform, Yankee Bard, Eckles, RyeBread, Classic Cowboy, JAKT and Samurai Crunchbird. That doesn't mean that I haven't learned something from a lot of writers that I didn't mention.

As for the stories I like the Kim and Ron pairing. It works for me and if you want to call me a Kim and Ron shipper then I can't argue. Now I have been accused of taking Ron out and working him over pretty well. I guess I do, but he gets the girl of his dreams in the end and sometimes he thinks the light at the end of the tunnel might be an on coming train. So I suppose he forgives me until I have more fun for him again. Now Kim does get worked over herself too a bit, but it's more on the emotional end. Just wait till you see what happens to one of my favorite minor characters, Steve Barkin, you will just love me for that.

For the stories. 'Once Again' was sort of a last minute lark. It's the latest thing I've written, but the first published. I have posted the second tale in the 'Once Again' series. It is a prequel of Std and the Moodulator incident, it's called 'Winter Adventure'. The next story in the series has a working title of 'A Lasting Love' , the one after that is 'Broken Promise'. Currently as of the end of July 2009 I am posting 'Separate Lives' this will finish tying in to 'Once Again'...yes I know it's dark...please have patience with it. There will be some surprising light and humorous moments when you least expect them. I won't tell you ahead of time, so you'll just have to search through... As I said be patient 'Separate Lives' is going to have overforty chapters in it. I hope that these stories answer the questions that many of the readers first had when 'Once Again' came out. Currently am writing the first post 'Once Again' called 'The Truth', I expect to write 'The Justice' a little later on. Expect to see Q. Hector Snobblestone again...oh you haven't met him yet have you? Well you will meet the cantankerous judge trust me he is a card with his brand of law and order

The stories in the 'Silence ARC' are 'Alone', 'Hero's Corner', 'Resurrection', 'the Reunion: Kimmie's Choice' and 'Cuddlebuddie Huggie' are set either before or after Spectre's 'Silence'. They should be coming out some time soon, there are two other stories planned at this time, I can tell you what they're about, but only my beta knows for sure. They will not have my usual amount of mayhem involved unless you want to count what certain women will do to their men.

The story line after what I call the 'Silence' ARC will be 'The Guardian' which should come out very late this summer (since it's written except for Chapter 11) the time table has been pushed back a bit, since I prefer to post all the chapters in specific stories together, It's easier on both me the author and you the reader. In the late fall expect to see 'Over'. I am in chapter 26 right now and will stay there until I clean off my plate a bit, it is a bit complex. After I pretty much finish with the 'Once Again ARC' I will return to 'Over' and continue the epic chase scene.

As Spectre said, "they can't say you didn't give them fair warning!"

Now for something serious. One of the best KP authors ever passed away not too long ago. Take time and smell the roses, enjoy life. It is fragile. Commander Argus was an excellent writer. He had a lot of respect for those of us that are left to fill his shoes. Though I never met this wonderful man, I think the world of him. Let's hope he's waiting for us when it's our time so that we can swap stories. I salute you Nelson, God speed and a safe journey. I hope to see you on the other side.

Just up: as of 6/13/09 certain parts of 'Once Again' have been re-written. When I first published the story I had no idea that people would ask for a prequel. I am in the process of writing those and should be done by the end of the month. As I explored the concept I realized that there was much to do with the story line and had changed it some when I published 'Winter Adventure', 'Broken Promise' and soon 'Separate Lives'. Most of 'Once Again' is still in place as an original, but some minor details have been changed a bit.

9/18/09 Currently writing the first post 'Once Again' story, it is called 'The Truth'. It will be a little different from the others. Also have got my Halloween story done. Look for it on 10/31/09. Am putting the second post 'Once Again' story together in my head. I plan it to be an adventure. The working title is 'Justice' and it will be rated M.

The other day my wife woke me up at 2 AM. I couldn't get back to sleep and I came down to the dungeon here and decided to look at a 'Over' again. Well with one eye open I began to see flaws. I asked myself, 'who wrote this trash?', then I realized I did. So that is in re-write now. I hope to have all the chapters done before I begin to post it sometime in the spring.

Lately I began to work through an idea with CajunBear and Eckles. I hope to begin construction on it in the first quarter of 2010. I can't say more than it will be a difficult write for me, and it will probably be a very difficult edit too. I suppose it's purpose will be more to gets a few things off my chest. It seems like CajunBear is wanting it too as a way to beat back inner demons. So, I'm not sure how well that will go.
