Author has written 32 stories for Gilmore Girls, Heroes, and Gossip Girl.

Hello Sunshines!

I love Gilmore Girls, Supernatural, ER, Heroes, The West Wing, Brothers and Sisters, Gossip Girl, Mad Men, Flight of the Conchords, Criminal Minds...far too much TV... its like an addiction.

I read for fun (when I get the chance), listen to music my mother doesn't understand and when I (eventually) grow up, I want to be Audrey Hepburn!

"Calm is for losers"

And remember - WWAD (what would Audrey do?)

And in case I forget (which is likely with my ever increasing age...) I don't own a damn thing. My computer. And my own hair and teeth. And a nail varnish collection that is slightly shameful in vastness. But that's about it. Anything I write about... not mine. Not even close.

Stories in progress

An End has a StartMy future Lit. Friendship fic. Jess is married, but not to Rory. Includes the fabulous Lydia (well *I* think she's fab), a grown up Lily and Rory falling for someone, unexpected(?). I actually think this might be coming to an end soon. Unless I come up with some other ideas, it will be over soon.

Laughing Since I FellJess and Lydia. The early years. I actually have loads to write about these two. Mainly because I love Lydia. I plan to take this right up to we met Lyds and Jess in AEhaS. So, yeah, loads of little moments to go.

Pressed in a BookAU in which Jess and Rory meet for the first time when he catches her after she faints one morning. Crazy best friends, awesome sisters, cute cute twins and annoying exes. What more could you want? This came from nowhere. Seriously. I started to write and this came out. As a result, I have no plan for where it has to go. I know somethings I want to do, but not a lot. Kinda flying by the seat of my pants. Or trousers. Since I'm not American. So, bear with me.

In the pipeline

Shut the door. Have a Seat. (Working Title. But I kinda like it. It's the name of my favourite Mad Men episode, which make sense because...)AU (to the extreme, the Gilmore Girls are no longer the Gilmore Girls) in which Rory gets her dream job at Wilson and Browne advertising agency. She loves her job, her boss, her apartment, her new roommate (one Lane Kim) but her creative director is something else altogether. Jess Mariano is rude, arrogant and the most annoying man she has ever come across. And it makes no difference that he is completely beautiful. It doesn't.
