Author has written 33 stories for Once and Again, Witchblade, Law and Order: CI, CSI: New York, Grey's Anatomy, House, M.D., Stargate: Atlantis, Lie to Me, Being Erica, Leverage, Pretender, Once Upon a Time, and Smash.

I love stories. I love characters. I love to consume media and process it and spit it back out in a barrage of analysis and speculation and derivative works. I'm a touch OCD, overly excitable, something of a literature snob and like Johnny Jump Ups quite a lot.

These days I'm mostly hanging out on Livejournal and AO3 (archiveofourown). I'm trying to get and keep things cross-posted, as relevant. I have hopes, albeit slim, of avoiding failure.

I do love concrit. Straight up criticism, as well as reader reactions, are also more than welcome. I can't promise to agree, or to make the changes, but I do take every comment seriously. It is always my goal to write the best story I can, and to remain as faithful as possible to the characters and to canon.


If someone could tell me why my beta profile collects br tags like cat hair, I would be very grateful.
