Author has written 33 stories for NCIS, Law and Order: CI, Grey's Anatomy, Bones, Superman, CSI: New York, Tin Man, Medical Investigation, Fringe, Mentalist, Hawaii Five-0, and Walking Dead. I am (hence the pen name) from Texas. I am a Historian by trade, and a TV junkie by choice. I am married, a mom and a huge dork most of the time. I work, I split what little down time I have between jogging, various in-sundry everyday duties that we all get stuck doing, along with trying to enjoy some creative activities like writing, singing, making vocal recordings and keeping up with my varied TV show menu. I've taken a couple of graduate level fiction writing classes, and I hope they've paid off. But I'm still absurdly thankful for spell-check. I'm extremely picky about fanfic, because I like reading stories where the authors stay as true to the characters from the shows as possible. I do not suffer the trite, the immature, the Mary Sue or the extravagantly out-of-character. I do not suffer the poorly written, mistake-riddled, or the no-plot-wonders. I like wit, satire, angst and tension - wickedly accurate characterizations - a mystery that twists and surprises or a one-shot that leaves me thinking. Have I mentioned that I'm picky? I have been dubbed the Mistress of Tease. I'm not a "fluff" writer. I like tension you can chew on! That said, I do like romance, but the unrequited/unrealized kind really butters my bread. When it comes to happy endings, well, I tend to write for the "hopeful ending". Not necessarily resolved, yet open for anything to come. I enjoy a multitude of fandoms, from crime drama, fantasy, to Sci/Fi (as evident from my authored stories). My tastes change and vary quite frequently, which usually ends in me starting a new story before I'm done with others. I love in-depth reviews. Constructive criticism is always appreciated. If you have something you like, or didn't, about my stories, well then by george tell me! My name on AO3 is AlamoGirl80 and all of my other H50 stories are contained therein. (I can't link you because FFN has banned links) I'm also on Tumblr as AlamoGirl80, so drop by and see what has been distracting me! Please contribute to the little known, but widely needed agency of "Finding Lost Muses". Booze, chocolate...heavily caffeinated drinks are accepted. | |||||||
