To start, my name is Bridget. I'm a twenty-two year-old gal from Arkansas. I'm also known as "brimac13" on a lot of sites (livejournal and insanejournal among them) as well as most (if not all) of the forums I happen to have joined. The fandoms I write in, so far, are Harry Potter, X-Men: Evolution and the Movie, Bleach, and General Hospital. The fandoms I read, but don't write, in are (again, so far) Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel, Roswell, Veronica Mars, Heroes, InuYasha, Gokusen, The O.C., Doctor Who/Torchwood/The Sarah Jane Adventures, Firefly, Fairy Tail, Skins, Wolf Lake, Kyle XY, Being Human, and Glee. I also like a good crossover. Mostly BtVS crossovers but, if a story is good enough, I'll read a non-BtVS crossover (prime example of this being Malachai's "Physics of the Spin" over on TTH, which is a Gilmore Girls/Stargate crossover).

Writing Habits:

As to my fic content, generally speaking, I tend to focus more on characterization and character growth than plot, hence the abundance of one-shots (wherein plot isn't necessarily a key element, per se, and it's easier to focus on a character or specific idea about a character). And though I've previously made forays into multi-chapterdom, I doubt I'll be doing it again anytime soon.

While I don't like H/Hr or H/D, I have written two connected one-shots (found here and here in "A Series of Drabbles") that feature each pairing. Unless I feel like challenging myself again (which is basically what that was), I won't ever be writing either of those (or any of the other pairings I've mentioned I dislike). I also have a D/G one-shot in the same series (here). "Watching Ginny Weasley" features some one-sided D/G (as well as several other ships, most of which are canon). "Friend of Mine" also mentions some past D/G (and features other Ginny ships as well, but is ultimately H/G). I think HP is the only fandom in which I've ever written ships that I didn't like.

Also, "Our Rogue," "Alternately, Our Rogue," "Lonely," "I Though I'd Love You a Little," "Anywhere But Here," "Falling Into Control," "Mutated and Confused," and "Welcome to Nowhere" have been deleted. I've, honestly, been wanting to do this for quite a while because I've been on this site for a bit under six years and have done a lot of maturing (both in my writing and in my personal life) since I first joined and, while I sometimes find it interesting to see how an author has progressed in his or her writing, I am embarrassed as all get-out by these fics. The only reason I hadn't done this yet is because, honestly, the stories I wanted to get rid of are the ones that have the most reviews (which completely puzzles me). I apologize to anyone who enjoyed these stories.

(1) While Remy/Rogue is very definitely my X-Men OTP, I do like other Rogue-involved ships. In the movies (not counting X-Men Origins: Wolverine), Bobby/Rogue is canon and is a pretty cute ship. I also like some of the other, non-Remy, Rogue/bad-boy ships such as John/Rogue. I have, in the past, enjoyed Wolverine/Rogue and Scott/Rogue (though mostly in X-Men: Evolution fanfic). So, you'll find several non-Remy/Rogue fics on my favorites list, but Remy/Rogue is definitely my OTP.

(2) Draco/Ginny was my first HP ship. I got started on it (and the whole HP series, actually) because of a BtVS/HP crosover fic. The ship made sense to me at the time because I hadn't read all of the books, however, as I read them and then finished the 5th book, I just couldn't see it becoming canon. Harry/Ginny, however, held a lot more appeal (and not just for it being the more likely of the two to become canon). So, if you happen to browse my favorites, you will find some D/G stories on there. I don't support the ship anymore, but I do remember reading some D/G stories that I enjoyed immensely at the time (one that I think I'd enjoy even now is "Rising From Ashes" by Arabella and Jedi Boadicea, which isn't hosted here on ff.net, but can be found here at its Yahoo!Group).
