Just my little beta-less self.

I'm not too keen on these things (bios) so I will be quick and mainly provide you with a few of my favorite quotes:

I enjoy fan fiction and lurked about various communities for a while before I ever wrote up my first story. I've bounced from fandom to fandom over the last few years, never fully leaving any one but slowing down in my writing for various shows. My writing varies in ability, some things come off well, others are severely lacking. Updates can be quick or drawn out - it all just depends on my life at the time.

For those wondering, I do intend on completing all the stories I've begun. Thankfully my completion rate is better than my incomplete stories might otherwise imply.

I took a break from writing fanfic to finish up and edit (a thousand times, I believe) my original manuscript and start sending it off to the publishers. I then realized how little preparation goes into my fanfic... I just jot something down, give it a quick read through and then post it. I really need to do some editing of some of my posted stories... the typos are driving me insane.

"You are a ninny!" The Oddessey

"I may not know all the answers, but I know some of them." A Letter to Three Wives (Fox Studios 1943)

"Sadie Dugan! You gotta make up your mind if you want your daughters happy or your refrigerator paid up!" A Letter to Three Wives (Fox Studios 1943)

"For he had learned some of the things that every man must find out for himself, and he had found out about them as one has to find out-through error and through trial, through fantasy and illusion, through falsehood and his own damn foolishness, through being mistaken and wrong and an idiot and egotistical and aspiring and hopeful and believing and confused." You Can't go Home Again by Thomas Wolfe

"Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see." Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead by Tom Stoppard

"It's been swell, but the swelling's gone down now." Tank Girl

"I know my chiles from my cholos." NCIS

"Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us." Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

"Happy, happy, joy, joy!" The Ren and Stimpy Show
