Hiya :)

Sorry if the writing is awful, don't say I didn't warn you :S

My current goal in life is to become a professional author, and I'm part way through an original manuscript. As such, my updates may be sporadic at best, but I do try to not leave you hanging for months (apologies to the DDBK readers who will entirely disagree with what I just said). Please leave me comments or requests, I love sharing ideas with people.

Thanks for all your support, you guys rock :D


Just saying, I do all my writing as I go and then post chapters as soon as they're finished. I don't write a whole story and then post it, which means that updates are heavily affected by whatever is going on in my life at the time. So if I don't post for a while, it's probably because reality is interfering again. I will do my best to avoid abandoning any stories and if I do, I will make sure I tell people about it. I won't just disappear.


Fan-Fiction is a huge part of my life. Some may think it's weird, some may think it's silly. Well, I think they're weird and silly. Fan-Fiction is important to me because it allows me to take characters and settings that I know and love, melt them all down, and then re-forge them in my own way. It is a great way for me to get feedback on my writing, allows me to play with other universes that I enjoy so much, and it's a great way to practice and develop my writing for the novels I'm working on as well. So yes, Fan-Fiction is a massive part of my life. It helps me escape. Post this on your profile if this fits you. :D


To save writing it on every story: I do not own ANY of the main characters I write about. One day, hopefully, I'll win the lottery and buy them all, but until then they are the property of the writers and creators of the original shows.
