Author has written 24 stories for Great Mouse Detective, Tangled, Kung Fu Panda, Rango, and Bambi.

Greetings, everyone! Well, to give some information about myself; every author needs an "about the author", don't they? Writing is one of my most prominent hobbies, and I do hope to turn it into a career at some point, but for right now, I find that fanfiction is a great way to practice. It has a number of benefits, in my view:

1. Fanfiction is not done for monetary purposes, so you aren't under as much pressure as with career-based writing.

2. The reviews others provide are a good source of insight on your writing abilities; how you can improve, what you're already doing well, and just how your writing is generally received.

3. Fanfiction is fun; writing it allows you to exercise your knowledge and understanding of the book/film/TV show/comic/etc. that you're writing about, and often when you read the fics done by others, you'll find you can expand your knowledge and understanding of the topic in ways you might not have otherwise.

I like to experiment with different genres, e.g. drama, romance, and comedy. The films I've written my little ideas about so far include "The Great Mouse Detective", "Tangled", "Kung Fu Panda", "Rango", and "Bambi". My personal favourite GMD characters are Olivia Flaversham and Fidget. Most fans of the film like to consider Olivia and Basil of Baker Street as a couple, but I actually believe she and Fidget are made for each other - I thought that when reading their bios on Disney Wiki before I ever actually saw the film. Mother Gothel is my favourite "Tangled" character - I think she's absolutely cool; the epitome of womanhood in my mind! I'm not heavy on writing about KFP at present, because I've only seen the two feature films, and I like to know as extensive an amount of information on the characters and events in a franchise as I can before I start composing my own "what ifs". I adore Masters Viper and Monkey, Mr. Ping, and the Soothsayer, so I imagine once I get going on KFP, I'll be focusing on them a lot. With "Rango", I find that - while I admit I think he's a darn cool villain - Rattlesnake Jake seems to have coiled around far too much of the spotlight, so I intend to focus more on the other characters. Beans will likely be a main focus for me, since she's my character-of-choice from this franchise. After getting reacquainted with the whole "Bambi" franchise after years of separation, I've become entranced by the character Ronno's dark, masculine beauty, though you might not think that at first when you see what I've written concerning him so far. Meh, I can't help it that compromising situations work so well with him.

I have a lot of other films I really enjoy, and hope to one day get around to writing things about. There's just too many to list here.

It's come to my attention that people don't review what they read on this site nearly enough, and I've learned that some writers get very anxious over this issue. Therefore, I try to get myself to review what I read - although I'll admit, sometimes it's difficult to think of what to say, especially after reading a story/chapter for the first time. I do post a review once I've finally decided, of course; it's that little "even one step can make a difference" formula that never seems to fail! :)

3. Don't Tell Flower I Said That

11. The Drunkard and the Feline reviews
To rodents, Felicia is a dangerous, flesh-eating beast. To humans, she's just a remarkably fat cat. To a drunk human, however, she might be whatever an alcohol-influenced mind can conceive! That's sure to get on Ratigan's nerves. Pre-movie oneshot.

22. The Flavershams vs Political Correctness reviews
What if 1897 London had the same rules about political correctness that exist today? That scene when Ratigan shows Mr. Flaversham that Olivia's been brought to the hideout might've turned out quite different.
