Author has written 12 stories for Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean, Lord of the Rings, Sky High, Dogma, X-Men: The Movie, Firefly, Bones, Highlander, Velvet Goldmine, and Jericho.

I am a student at a Midwestern Big Ten University, majoring in Political Theory and Constitutional Democracy. My specialty is in Greco-Roman Classical Studies. That said, I've taken classes in sexuality studies and history to help round out my education, and I firmly believe in a liberal arts approach to education: study everything.

In the past, I co-wrote a story set in the Dogma-verse with the author known as Amanita Jackson. We have since fallen out of touch, unfortunately. I would still recommend any of her stories as excellent.


18 September 2010

I'm still a writing & posting writer. That said, I'm a senior at my university, with all of the work that it entails. I've a few things to go over in this author's note. First: Guerre et Paix has not been abandoned. It's been offset, timewise. It's not the most important story on my plate. I've taken up Empty Spaces again, an old favorite. Some things to remember about Empty Spaces: it ends classically, with nearly everyone in the cast dead. I wrote all of the 'lyrics' myself. They are oddly echoed, I noted in the cut performance of HP & the Goblet of Fire's Weird Sisters concert. That said, I'm rewriting it. I haven't gotten past a great deal of preliminary editing, and I don't expect the finished product to be ready until at least February. I've three things on my fic-platter other than the Empty Places revision and expansion: my novel is currently with a beta, and I'm drafting the outline for book two currently, I'm working on a Livejournal Fest prompt, and I've a Criminal Minds' series that is currently taking some of my time. As I start a new job in January, I won't have the time I have now to devote to writing, and thus Empty Spaces remains on the backburner.
