Author has written 65 stories for Highlander, Forever Knight, Grey's Anatomy, Pirates of the Caribbean, StarTrek: The Original Series, House, M.D., Queen of Swords, Ironman, Burn Notice, Magnificent Seven, White Collar, and Thor.

I've been writing fanfic for about 20 years now: Forever Knight, Star Trek, Highlander, Pirates of the Caribbean, Iron Man/ Marvel Movies/Avengers, Magnificent Seven. The majority of my stories are crossovers - I love 'em!

I don't post here very often these days, but will try to remember to post here from time to time. If you'd like to keep current with my writing, you can find my newest stories either on my LJ, where I'm ithildyn, or at an Archive of Our Own, where I post under the name 'Ithildin'
