Author has written 40 stories for Bones, Chuck, and Firefly. About me: A thirtysomething female, Boston native, blogger, FF writing addict. A lawyer who cooks and never watches TV-- but if they post it online, well, that's a whole 'nother matter. I try to stick with just Chuck and Bones. And endless re-watches of Firefly and Serenity. A proud bleeding-heart liberal who will defend your right to disagree with me to my last breath, all the while being unafraid to say that I think you're wrong. An amateur photographer, a lover of good wine, good food, and good company. A lover of well-crafted words. About disclaimers and Creative Commons restrictions: All fictions published here are subject to the following caveat. Of course I didn't create the shows or characters I write about, and I certainly do not own their rights. I do, however, assert the right to fill in the blanks, to dot the i's and cross the t's and to use canon as a point of departure, and my plots and dialogue are all subject to Creative Commons restrictions. Please embellish, depart from, and riff to your heart's content-- just give credit where credit is due for purely non-commercial purposes. If you use my stuff for commercial purposes, well-- I will come after you, even if it's to write you into something scathing. About reading and commenting: I do try to respond to comments, but sometimes life gets in the way. If you don't get a response, please know it has nothing to do with you, even when your comment might be negative or on the more critical end of constructive criticism-- I honestly do try to respond as often as time allows. I currently allow anonymous comments. If you'd like a private email back and post it in a comment or email, please use the following format or the FF bots will delete it in their caution to prevent spam. YOURNAME space @ space DOMAIN NAME space DOT space NET/TAG or whatever. I will try to respond. I do read others' fics. A lot. I have a lot of people on Author and Story Alerts. I don't always comment-- sometimes because of time, sometimes not. Sometimes I'm waiting to see where something goes before I have something to say one way or the other. I do have a pet peeve-- authors who never respond to comments, especially when their fics tend to be the more popular ones. I think it's rude not to acknowledge your audience directly, rather than just a "Hey, you guys are great" at the start of the next chapter. If you can take the time to review, I will do my best to take the time to respond. After all, I took the time to write. About writing in general: It's fanfiction, people, not the Pulitzer prize. While I try to write well because I have pride in my work and because I genuinely love the shows I write about, it's still fanfiction and I'm not being paid for this, despite all the lovely folks who've said I should write for the shows. (Though if you're a writer and producer for one of the shows, well, HI! PM me? Please? I'm not attached to my day job, and I've always liked LA. Seriously. I'd love to send you a spec script-- or revise one of my stories into a script.) I try to stay in canon and character. I try to be genuine to the characters as I perceive them. I don't flatter myself as some auteur and if you think my characterization is OOC, that's fine-- but please don't repeatedly flame the review box just because you don't agree. One comment saying you think I'm OOC is fine, and I do appreciate the warning. Thirteen or Thirty? Not so much. You don't agree? Read someone else. | |||||||||||
