Author has written 44 stories for Daria, Labyrinth, Xena: Warrior Princess, Sandman, Moulin Rouge, Nightmare Before Christmas, Beauty and the Beast, Secret Garden, Phantom of the Opera, Harry Potter, Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, and Sweeney Todd. Introductions...my name's Beth aka BatteredChild, I'm19 and I'm from Sydney, Australia. I write for a number of fandoms, lately my main focus is on a Beauty and the Beast fic as well as Labyrinth and Secret Garden fics. I like a lot of different movies, some of which are below. Fav bands are Evanescence, Within Temptation, Nightwish, Dream Theatre and Lacuna Coil and I also listen to a lot of movie/musical soundtracks. I apologise for my lack of updates for DC and aBoE, I am working on rectifying that as soon as possible but I have had a lot of problems over the last year and am only now beginning to get back into the swing of writing. I've been working on one-shots mostly to get myself used to writing again and to try and get myself back to my former standards which I still haven't reached. But once I feel that I can do justice to the fics I had previously started I will finish. I am trying to work o the ending of Different Circumstances and hopefully that will be done soon. Once again, I'm so sorry for the huge delays. Note for readers of Another Chance 2: Ok, Another Chance 2 isn't working for me. I have a main plot but the details just aren't coming together. Besides that, it's boring. I know it is and I'm working on it, so I'm not updating it until I can get my act together and sort things out. The fic may be taken down but I'll see what happens when I have time to work it all out. Updates: I am currently working on two fics, though I don't get much of a chance to update either of them. Different Circumstances (Beauty and the Beast) is my priority when I write at the moment. There's only two or so chapters left before it ends and they should be out soon, I just gotta make time to write. A Bit of Earth (Secret Garden) should be updated soon, I've come to a bit of trouble in working out my plot and I am quite wary each time I start a chapter mostly because of the yorkshire. Chapter 6 up! I know it's been forever hides Lithium (Labyrinth) I'm steadily working on this, it won't be overy long, I think I'm about half way through already so I'm hoping it doesn't take too long to finish writing and posting. My favourite pairings are: Sarah/Jareth-Labyrinth Favourite Movies/TV Shows Phantom of the Opera Buffy the Vampire Slayer What I Read Basically I'll read anything that's well written and is about any of the movies/shows listed above. I do go through phases where I read one particular type of fic unless others are being updated. The main ones I read are Phantom of the Opera: Anything E/C cause I hate Raoul...stupid fop! Harry Potter: I have been sucked into H/D slash, as long as it's tasteful anyway and actually has a plot. Also a fan of Severitus and Snape mentoring Harry fics. Daria: Anything interesting and either no pairing or Daria/Trent...I just never liked Tom Xena: Anything that's well written, and I like it when Gabby gets hurt but that's just the part of my that likes to torment characters, nothing against Gabrielle cause she's great lol. Subtext/maintext whatever doesn't bother me as long as it's tactfully done. Buffy: I like Spuffy fics cause I just love that pairing. Don't like any fic with a Buffy/Angel or Buffy/Riley pairing...it's just wrong lol. Labyrinth: J/S of course and I like Sarah being tormented throughout a fic, and I know I'm not alone...maybe it's just cause she was mean to Jareth but I dunno, it's just fun to be mean to Sarah. And I'll stop about that now. Anyway like I said, J/S in the Underground with something interesting or original happening with them. Please read this I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian. Re-post this if you believe homophobia is wrong.
