Author has written 110 stories for Newsies, Secret Circle series, Labyrinth, Inuyasha, Diana Wynne Jones, Twilight, Harper's Island, and Alice in Wonderland. This fanfiction.net profile was last updated on: September 27, 2009. Update: I can't believe it's almost October. I have my birthday coming up on Saturday -- I'll have to change my age down below, heh -- and then, right around the corner, there's NaNoWriMo. I'm still focusing on a few fics: Inside a Broken Mind, my retelling of Harper's Island from Henry's POV, is coming along nicely, and The Pigeon is more than 2/3rds of the way done. There's only one or two more chapters of Sleepwalker left and I really want to get the next chapter of L'Heure Bleue before I attend to some other neglected WIP's. Here's to getting that all done before the crazyness that is November! -- My Fictionpress account: http://fictionpress.com/~stressie Hello to everybody who is currently reading this profile. Either you are here because you are like me and randomly click on people's profiles because you are insanely bored or, perhaps, you're genuinely interested in anything that I have written. If you are part of the latter, maybe you want to know why my updates - that once were so plentiful - are now far and few in between. I don't know, really. But they are all coming - I promise. If you are eager to read an update on a particular story, please let me know (via email or PM). If I hear that someone is actually interested in something, I'll turn my attention towards that story. Don't be shy. I don't bite ;) STRESS name: Jessica STATISTICS As of 07.11.09, I have received 3,662 total reviews on 99 stories with 598 chapters and 1,399,409 words.
