Updated 2 July 2012

If you like my stories, check out my novel Letters to Erik: The Ghost's Love Story, available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. It's a continuation of Gaston Leroux's famous French novel The Phantom of the Opera, and it has no other influences such as Kay or Webber.

If you don't like my stories, let me refer you to Aesop's fable about "The Man, the Boy, and the Donkey." Moral: Try to please everyone and you will please none. I know there are always going to be people who don't like my writing, and that's fine. Feel free to look elsewhere; there's plenty of variety on this site. When I write, I try to please mainly myself, and sometimes succeed. I write fanfiction for practice, especially when there's a specific skill I'm working on. If you find my stories too heavy in dialogue, angst, action, romantic fluff, etc. that's probably why; I'm using that story to try and improve upon a weakness in my writing style.

My favorite fandoms usually feature relationships with a redemptive theme, many listed below. It's often a non-canonical pairing. Usually it's an older, darker male character, perhaps a bit jaded and cynical, who is redeemed by the love of a younger, innocent, female character. Redemption is the biggest factor in my faith, as well, so it's only natural that it extend to my favorite reading material and even my own writing.

Some of my favorite pairings and fandoms are:
Rose Tyler and the Doctor, "Doctor Who"
Spock and Christine Chapel, "Star Trek: the Original Series"
Sarek and Amanda Grayson, "Star Trek: the Original Series" (and movies, but not 2009)
Spike and Buffy, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"
Angel and Cordelia, "Angel"
Jane and Rochester, Jane Eyre
Hannibal Lecter and Clarice Starling, Silence of the Lambs
Jareth and Sarah, "Labyrinth"
Q and Captain Janeway, "Star Trek: Voyager" (though there's a sad lack of fanfic in this pairing!)
Wolverine and Rogue, "X-Men"
Severus Snape and (an adult) Hermione Granger, Harry Potter series
Erik and Christine, The Phantom of the Opera
V and Evey, "V for Vendetta"
Edward and Bella, "Twilight" (though it pains me to admit)
Capt. Jack Sparrow and Elizabeth Swann, "Pirates of the Caribbean"
Mr Stevens and Miss Kensington, "The Remains of the Day"
Capt. James Hook and (an adult) Wendy Darling, "Peter Pan 2003" and Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie
Alice and Tarrant Hightop, the Mad Hatter, "Alice in Wonderland 2010"

"Progression" and "Rogue's Gallery" are NOT abandoned!

The only story on here that is truly abandoned is "Revival," a Buffy and Spike story. "Progression" was updated recently, and while I am currently stalled on the next chapter of it, I have much of the rest of it already written. However, "Rogue's Gallery" will probably have to wait until I can get my mind focused back on X-Men. There are very few things deader than an outdated tangent, and even though the "Gallery" only has a couple more chapters to go, I can't get my head into it. I do know how they'll end, and I will finish it when I can. Promise.

Anyone who wants to email or chat in real-time is welcome to send me a PM with their contact info. I'm not as active in fanfic as I used to be, but I still love hearing from my readers!

After some visits from an annoying blue butterfly, Alice returns to Underland.

This is not a complex, plot-filled story; what plot it does have is just fun, forgiveness and fluff.
