My excuse is: "The plot bunnies made me do it.' Fluffy little buggers...they make your brain a mess...AND they don't apologise!
Still waiting on the PBunnie tranquillizers to arrive by mail- and you know how long THAT takes!
Okay, the story: Australian born, bred, and proud of the fact that I hate football. But love chocolate. And classic love stories...And reviews. Not telling my gender, but you can probably guess ;0
Started writing early, and over time it evolved into something more. Escapism that turned around and become something that I had not in the slightest bit, expected; a passionate desire to discover the worlds hidden inside my brain. So far, its been...extraordinarily weird. But the journey is cool, nonetheless. And my muses are backseat drivers!
Why fan fiction?
Defensively, it was their own fault- for creating those terrible love triangles and killing off favourite characters. (growls)
As a side note: I am a HUGE fan of Joss Whedon's work- but I don't, as a rule, delve fanfictionwise into the Buffy, Angel, or Firefly shows. The canon universe's for each did just fine the first time around, so I say...Why mess with a good thing? But that's just me.
Shows like: Smallville, the Invisible Man, Dark Angel (my all-time fav place to conjure main characters from). Especially Charmed- but naturally devastated by Chris' s death, and love stories that convienently forget that little fact. And father son fics ...Hey... I challenge any Charmed fan to resist the warm, fuzzies when Chris called Leo 'Dad', and when Leo reaffirmed Chris was his son! (yup Big Drew Fuller and Brian Krause fan, standin' proud).
Recently however, Charmed has been slightly ticking me off.
Here, I'll explain: When they killed off Cole, I said 'meh! It's okay- like Arnie, he'll be back!'. Then Chris went, and I almost honest to goodness face faulted on the floor watching the episode. With a quivering lip I shook it off, "It's alright! He and Leo have unresolved stuff. He'll be back too!". But when they killed Leo...that was it! The gloves came off, and I turned away to soothe those wounds with fanfic. To this date, Charmed and I are still not on speaking terms!
Of course, for the child in me: Spiderman, Daredevil, the Incrediables, and some of the better Disney creations:Aladdin, Atlantis, Beauty and the Beast.
And ANIME, for the rest of me: Love Hina, Oh My Goddess, Onegai Teacher, Escaflowne and Tekkaman Blade.(Eternally shamed of the fact that Akira freaked me out...groan...)
And if you've read anything I've written, and still cared enough to check out this page, then kudos to you. And thanks!
August 2006: Several things in my life have forced me to take a break from posting ...for the moment. Now, that said, I will continue to write these stories as often as I can in my spare time (what little of it I now have). By next year, I should have a lot more free time- fingers crossed.

(From Serenity, the movie) Wash: This landing is gonna get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: deadpan Oh God, oh God, we're all going to die?
Works in progress:
Dark Knight (under total revision and a face lift), Spirit Never Dies, Keno's Story and several other plot bunnies. And, of course, Genesis.
