Author has written 55 stories for Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, Tru Calling, Phil Of The Future, American Gothic, Community, Haven, and Dollhouse. Hi everyone! Here's some info about me: Age: 25 School/Work: College Super Senior; I have graduated from community college magna cum laude in Southern California, where I received my Associate's Degree in Liberal Arts & Sciences on May 23rd, 2008. I'm one class away from a BA in Film Studies with a minor in Disability Studies at the University of California, Berkeley. I participated in the Film commencement ceremony in May 2011, but finished my last UC Berkeley semester in Fall 2011. I'm taking my last class at a community college. It's third semester Spanish, ugh! I was an intern at a non-profit disability rights/public policy organization and I loved it. I now volunteer there and write occasional articles for them, but am in the process of looking for a part-time job in the non-profit arts/media/disability sector. Favorite Subjects: English, Creative Writing, Screenwriting, Women in Television, Psychology, Disability Studies and Choir Hobbies: singing, acting, writing, reading, horseback riding, participating in school clubs (Disabled Students' Union and GIANT Film Club) Other Likes: cherry stuff, hence my pen name Favorite TV Shows: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Tru Calling, Dollhouse, Charmed, Wildfire, American Gothic, Veronica Mars, Lost, Army Wives, Traveler, Medium, Side Order of Life, Ugly Betty, Pushing Daisies, Britain's Missing Top Model, 30 Days, The IT Crowd, Glee, Community, Modern Family, Parenthood, Happy Town, Arrested Development, Wonderfalls, Dead Like Me, Call Me Fitz, The Class, Party Down, Joan of Arcadia, Once Upon a Time, Grimm, Husbands (web series), Haven, Up All Night Favorite Movies: 10 Things I Hate About You, Bring It On, Simply Irresistible, Harriet the Spy, Eurotrip, Save the Last Dance, A Time For Dancing, The Notebook, the HP movies (especially 2 & 5), Little Miss Sunshine, Ice Princess, The Fisher King, Waitress, August Rush, Juno, Orange County, The Hangover, Out Cold, The Alphabet Killer, Bottle Shock, 12 Monkeys, Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind, Sex-Abled Documentary, Dumped: A Romance, Art and Soul (my documentary film), The Descendants, Before Sunrise, Before Sunset Favorite TV Pairings: Buffy/Angel (BTVS), Tru/Jack (Tru Calling), Piper/Leo (Charmed), Phoebe/Cole (Charmed), Lucas/Gail (American Gothic), Claire/Topher (Dollhouse), Echo/Paul (Dollhouse), Adelle/Dominic (Dollhouse), Trevor/Roxy (Army Wives), Will/Emma (Glee), Rachel/Jesse (Glee), Annie/Troy (Community), Annie/Abed (Community), Jeff/Britta (Community), Troy/Britta (Community), Jaye/Eric (Wonderfalls), Kat/Ethan (The Class), Nicole/Duncan (The Class), Richie/Lina (The Class), Henry/Casey (Party Down), Fitz/Ali (Call Me Fitz), Joan/Adam (Joan of Arcadia), Luke/Grace (Joan of Arcadia), Audrey/Nathan (Haven), Audrey/Chris (Haven) Favorite Movie Pairings: Jesse/Celine (Before Sunrise/Before Sunset) Favorite TV Crossover Pairings: Tru/Chris (Tru Calling/Charmed), Jack/Echo (Tru Calling/Dollhouse), Jack/Britta (Tru Calling/Community) and Duke/Tru (Haven/Tru Calling) I'm a HUGE Tru Calling, Community and Haven fan. All three shows have totally inspired me in different ways and have made me think about a career in writing for television. Future Plans: I'm in the process of applying to graduate school for a Master of Fine Arts degree (MFA) in Screenwriting/TV Writing at either a private or state university in California. If I don't get into film school for the coming academic year (2012-2013), I'm planning on reapplying to film school and also applying for a Master of Science (MS) degree in Rehabilitation Counseling and somewhere way down the road, possibly a Ph.D in Disability Studies as well. Ultimately, I'd like to be a television writer/producer/showrunner and a disability rights advocate/mentor/counselor, working in the non-profit disability/arts/media sector and teaching people with various disabilities about writing. I'm definitely an aspiring writer and I take my writing very seriously. Please read and review my stories!
WORKS IN PROGRESS AND UPCOMING FICS Tru Calling: The Devil You Know - Basically this story delves into great detail about the aftermath of Tru's pregnancy and her spiral into post-partum depression. I don't know where this will go, but I want to carry out the same kind of dark, deeply psychological premise that has been affecting Tru during the previous two fics. This will give me a chance to explore the relationship between Tru/Jack/Jensen a lot more and also their relationship with Kira. I'd also like to explore the possibility of Tru having a second daughter once Kira is a little older named Clarity. I didn't focus on the Richard/Carrie stuff either in the previous story, so hopefully I can delve into that a little more as well. THIS IS THE LAST INSTALLMENT OF MY TRU/JACK MULTI-CHAPTER TRILOGY SERIES. Unless this one gets too long for me and I have to carry it over into another part or maybe even another series... Hmmm... ;) ON HIATUS UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE!! UPDATED ON 5/16/10!! Relief - A multi-chapter Tru/Jack story focusing on the spiritual and romantic elements of their relationship. Jealous of Tru and Jack's burgeoning romantic relationship, an already dead and soulless Jensen shoots Tru. At the hospital, Jack and Jensen have a confrontation, which leads to Jensen keeping Tru's soul trapped in another realm, where he is being abusive to her. When Jack comes to rescue her soul, both Tru and Jack must face The Powers That Be and The Council in order to ensure that Jensen gets what he deserves and Tru's soul can be returned to her body safely. UPDATED ON 11/20/09!! ON HIATUS! American Gothic: Seduction of the Savory Kind - She can't resist it. It's the most irresistible way to a woman's heart. I've already written this fic, but haven't posted it yet. One-shot. Lucas/Gail Crossovers: "The Devil You Know" and "Relief" are currently on hiatus. In addition, I have several other ideas including but not limited to: some more Tru/Jack one-shots, a long-term Tru Calling/Community crossover, a Tru Calling/Haven crossover and whatever other ideas come to me as I think of them and I feel inspired to write them down and post them. Updates will be more infrequent now since I am looking for part-time employment and applying to graduate school. A special thanks to all those people who have been reading my fics for the past few years or months. I couldn't write or do what I do without your support and it means a lot to me. Thank you all so much! | |||||||
