Welcome to the place I exercise my fanfiction-writing alter ego.

I'm back after a nice long period of having health problems. My stories will now be updating again.

About Me:

I have been described by various people as reminding them of Yoda from Star Wars, Kaylee from Firefly, and Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter. So just put those three together and you have a good idea of what it means to be me. I enjoy literature, drama, laughing, chocolate, history, dancing, and good friends. As for my name, "Loki" is a Norse trickster god. I am his official campaign manager. And yes, I thought of that before "Avengers" came out.

About My Stories:

You won't find excessive swearing or excessive sexual content in my stories, but there will be some violence and psychological drama. In my opinion (and Oscar Wilde's) books are neither moral nor immoral -- just well-written or badly written. You can see individual stories for their individual warnings.

"Blackout Zone" is a story in progress, set in the Firefly 'verse created by the amazing Joss Whedon. The next chapter is now being beta'd.

"Magician Maligned" is a story in progress from the Mairelon the Magician/Magician's Ward universe (by Patricia C. Wrede). The next chapter is now being written.

"Usurer's Mercy" is a completed story, set in the universe of The Merchant of Venice, by William Shakespeare.

"The Catalyst Client" and "Transforming Reactions" are both completed stories, taking place in the Sherlock Holmes universe (based on the books, though movie enthusiasts can certainly read them). Both were written while I was still getting my sea legs in the fanfic world, but they're not appalling, so I've left them up for posterity.

I like working on more than one story at once, so if I start a new one before I've finished the one you're reading, or if the one you're reading hasn't been updated in months, it doesn't mean I've abandoned it. I'm probably just being a perfectionist or something. But if I start a story, I believe I'm honor-bound to finish it (if I didn't, I'd never get anything done).

Communities

I manage a community, These Were Hidden Fires, which is a home for canonically-toned romance between Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. I'm also on the staff of the Firefly Romance community, which contains a variety of pairings.

I can also be found on Archive of Our Own, where my username is Prospero. Most of the stories that are here are also there.
