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
Christian/Satine-Moulin Rouge
Buffy/Spike-Buffy: TVS
Erik/Christine- Phantom of the Opera
Jack/Sally- The Nightmare Before Christmas
Daria/Trent- Daria
Victor/Emily-Corpse Bride

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.
I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.
I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.
We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.
I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.
I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.
I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again.
I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.
We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.
I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.
I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.
I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.
I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.
I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.
I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.
I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.
I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I did not have to always deal with society hating me.
I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.
I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.
I am the person who is afraid of telling his loving Christian parents he loves another male.
