Author has written 57 stories for Rurouni Kenshin, Inuyasha, Slayers, Sailor Moon, Harry Potter, Doctor Who, Spice and Wolf, and Tales of Symphonia.

Welcome to the fic of a transplanted Southern woman who happens to be co-creator of a webcomic, editor for a tech blog, work for a newspaper and still save the world before deadline. Well ... maybe. If the cats allow her to get out of the chair. She also happens to be a bibliophile, interested in the fiber and felt arts (especially knitting and amigurumi) and is married to a Scouser, which is the source of endless amusement. She enjoys chocolate, ice cream, coffee, tea, fruit and other things that can do harm to her waistline. She also has a love for Lina/Gourry from Slayers and Doctor/River from Doctor Who, so pat her head and indulge her every once in awhile.

If you would like to read my more adult Doctor/River and Lina/Gourry stories, feel free to follow me on Archive of Our Own.
