Hello! I'm Mary (codename: LoveLiesBleeding2), a lover of chocolate, good stories/plots, true, touching (and often quite angsty) characters, writing, music, gothic design and style, and many other things. I am a college student, ex-dancer, and a writing-fanatic as well as a crazy spastic fangirl, and I work as a Page at my local library.

I started my writing career at FF.net, with a series of extremely bad-quality fanfics under this same username (which is still there, just inactive). I abandoned that part of my life, took some time to develop my style and taste for direction, and moved on to original fiction, mostly. I'm a romantic at heart, so the majority of what I do is romance with various other undertones and side-plots; though my goals are to write smut that is tasteful, unique, and slightly new to romance palates out there...dunno if I'm succeeding, though. But I do try!

So, please enjoy, and please comment/review if you read, because comments are what keep me posting. If you fav, you have my thanks, but please consider commenting as well, or I might lose interest in posting here...that's a very bad habit of mine. Anyway, enjoy! Thanks for reading!

BEFORE YOU READ: I would like to take a moment to offer something of a disclaimer in regards to my work, please read this, as it is somewhat crucial to understanding the way I work and my personal taking to acceptable reader-responses. If you have issues with heavy/not-so-nice language, possible gore/violence, nudity and/or material of a sexual nature, and what could possibly be considered blasphemy of scripture, please take this opportunity to leave my page because I do use these elements quite frequently and strongly. Everyone has his/her own tastes, but so do I, and I do NOT want to hear about your objections. I am not here to be trashed, insensibly flamed, or treated to tasteless badgering about offense. It is not my priority to offend anyone or anything, but I expect my readers to be mature and know their limits; I will do my best to keep everyone informed with notes and rating information, but I will not cater above or below my own desire to do so. I also do not accept flames saying "you call this a plot? what the hell are you smoking?" or "this sucks." If you don't like my style or my writing, that's too bad...so don't read it. And don't expect me to tolerate you being immature, either.

If you decide you are better off without my words, that is your choice, as it is your choice to proceed forward - and your choice alone. DO NOT expect me to censor myself when I have given you perfectly good enough warning here. If I receive a review I deem to be inappropriate response to my work, I will find you and rip you a new one. We will not be harboring or supporting censorship on this particular corner of the site.

Thank you for reading, enjoy the work if you're still here, and remember: I HAVE GIVEN YOU FAIR WARNING!

THE STORIES!

Believer: Based on a good friend's version of the Alice in Wonderland world, featuring a grown Alice facing her upcoming marriage to a British Earl and thinking back to her missed childhood and the dreamworld she made up, as well as the long-time friend she kept there in her heart. But at the reception before her wedding, whom does she spy but the very same man who had been her childhood friend, a confidant, and her beloved Mad Hatter? (Complete)

Mortal Heart: Ordinary in every way but for her own little quirks, Lilith lives her life with an absolute notion of practicality underlined by fear from a difficult childhood. When she's introduced to the very real existence of divinity in the form of her very own guardian angel, she begins to understand that there is much more to life than she ever began to imagine; both wonderful and horrible. And then there's the fact that this angel, honor-bound to protect her from the demons liffting their glaring eyes, claims to be purly, truly, deeply in love with her. She doesn't believe in love...but she hadn't believed in God, either. (IN PROGRESS)
