Author has written 43 stories for Covert Affairs, Glee, Castle, Royal Pains, Suits, Leverage, Gossip Girl, and Perception. I watch/obsess over many tv shows, including: Castle, Covert Affairs, Royal Pains, 30 Rock, Invasion, Pretty Little Liars, The O.C., White Collar, Leverage, Pysch, Necessary Roughness, Suits, Body of Proof, New Girl, One Tree Hill, Gossip Girl, 90210, Once Upon a Time, Perception, and Nashville. I tend to write a lot of song fics and/or get my titles and inspiration from music. Music is a huge part of me, I'm like Peyton Sawyer in that way ;) Arthur/Joan (Covert Affairs) are my main ship obsession, I will read anything about them! They are also my favorite to write, so expect a lot of stories about them from me ;) More ships I like: Shules (Shawn/Jules - Pysch), Sandy/Kirsten from The O.C. (KANDY!), Seth/Summer (The O.C.), Hardison/Parker (Leverage), Sophie/Nate (Leverage), Megan/Peter (Body of Proof), Dani/Matt (Necessary Roughness), Parker/Hardison (Leverage) Caskett (Castle/Beckett - Castle) is perfection. I feel like they have something amazing and special, and together they truly can beat the odds :) Always. Now that they are dating (!!!), I plan to write them even more, so get ready. Aria/Ezra from PLL is adorable, I've loved them since day one. I'm also really starting to love Spencer/Toby. I actually can't name a ship on PLL I don't like... except for Garrett/Jenna. Yuck :P Neal/Sara (White Collar) are a favorite ship of mine. For some reason, they just seem really good for each other. And Hilarie Burton is pretty hot as Sara ;) And of course, Peter and Elizabeth Burke are adorable. Donna and Harvey from Suits are my newest OTP, USA-wise. I tried very hard not to get invested, because I thought there was no chance in hell for them. But that finale gave me hope :) I also like Mike/Rachel. Peyton/Lucas is my main OTP for One Tree Hill. Plus, as mentioned above, I adore Hilarie Burton. Nathan/Haley is also pretty cute. And Brooke/Julian, Karen/Keith, Karen/Andy, Chase/Mia, Alex/Chase, Quinn/Clay... I like a lot of OTH pairings :) Gossip Girl has about a billion couples... but my tried and true OTP will always be Rufly (Rufus x Lily). Dan x Serena was cute before their families merged and they found out they shared a sibling... I also like Nate x Serena. I ship Snow x Charming/Mary x David on Once Upon a Time hardcore. And Emma x August... I did ship Emma x Graham, but now they can only live in fanfics :( And since Once just keeps stomping on all my shipper dreams, I guess now my main one is Emma x Neal. Stop killing off Emma's love interests!! Daniel & Natalie/Caroline on Perception are very intriguing... I can't ship Daniel with anyone else, because no one else seems right for him. I am full-on obsessed with Rayna x Deacon from Nashville as well. Also Scarlett x Gunnar, because Avery is an asshat. Random things I like include Rent, Kari Matchett, Stana Katic, Taylor Swift, Harry Potter, Wicked, Meryl Streep, Sandra Bullock, Peter Gallagher, Kelly Rowan, Lana Parilla, Les Miserables, and Idina Menzel :) I'm also a pretty big USA Network nerd. xoxo | |||||||
