Author has written 67 stories for Babylon 5, Due South, Misc. Movies, Northern Exposure, Corner Gas, Stargate: Atlantis, Misc. Tv Shows, Castle, Caroline In The City, Body of Proof, Wonderfalls, Fringe, StarTrek: Deep Space Nine, Cupid, and Bones.

Everything you could possibly want to know about me can be found on my livejournal or my Dreamwidth.

Everything I write, and I've written previously to using this account, can be found on my page at the AO3--well, all the stuff I haven't disowned and denied any knowledge of, anyway. That site retains my formatting better than this one, which seems to eat my section breaks, dashes, and other punctuation with displeasing regularity, so quite honestly I would suggest reading my fic there.
