Booth/Brennan Fic Challenge

My thoughts on reviews: I gratefully accept any and all constructive criticism. I adore long, meaty feedback, but I realize it's not practical to expect that. Even a smiley face tells me that someone's reading and enjoying my story. If you don't write, you may not understand just how encouraging a comment can be. But trust me, writers love them. For me at least, no review is too short, too long, or too late.

"Kindness is the golden chain by which society is bound together."
~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

"I write to discover what I think."
~ Daniel J. Boorstin

"Fundamentally, all writing is about the same thing; it's about dying, about the brief flicker of time we have here, and the frustration that it creates."
~ Mordecai Richler

My LiveJournal

My fic archive: Everything gets archived here eventually.

This quote sums up my feelings on a lot of things: "We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors...but they all exist very nicely in the same box."

I am: Female, quiet at first but can be surprisingly goofy once you get to know me, loyal, fascinated by people, happily married, and 30-years-old

To ship or not to ship? In my case, the answer is usually the former. I can't help it. Looking back, Jo & Teddy of Little Women were probably the first couple I rooted for (many years ago). Unfortunately, that didn't end well, since he wound up with her stupid younger sister, and she wound up with that boring professor.

Favorite Pairings:
Buffy/Angel
Temperance Brennan/Seeley Booth

I am fascinated by the relationships between people, and not just the romantic kind, so I will read gen fic or fic for just about any pairing. There are infinite combinations of characters that can work if done right; I try to keep an open mind.

Current TV Shows (Yay for DVR and TV on dvds):
- 30 Rock
- Battlestar Galactica: 2003 (current through 2x13)
- Bones
- CSI: NY (current through 1x13)
- The Office (U.S. version)
- Supernatural (current through 2x22)

I love TV, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Of course, I often don't have the time to watch it, so I'm not always current on every show I like. But hey, that's why we have dvr and dvds.

Past TV Shows:
- Angel: the Series (am very slowly working my way through the seasons)
- Buffy the Vampire Slayer
- Seinfeld
- Six Feet Under
- Touching Evil (U.S. version)
- The Wire
- Witchblade

Other stuff: In addition to loving tv and books, I love to make wallpapers and fanart. If you're curious, take a peek at http://www.digitalemissions.com .
