Howdy!

I am a chaplain and music therapist, who used to work in the special education setting in public schools. Now, I work in a hospice and palliative care setting. I am a first soprano, and flute player (I used to play violin and viola). Because of my music therapy training, I took up guitar and autoharp. I've got ecclectic music tastes; I like selections from just about any genre of music. However, my favourite genres are comedic rock (Weird Al, Arrogant Worms, Three Dead Trolls), soft and classic rock (mainly music from the late 60s through early 80s), music from the Classical Period (think Mozart), Stamps-Baxter music (Christian music from the mid 20th century), and some Contemporary Christian music (like Audio Adrenaline and Third Day). I also like Smash Mouth, Yes, Dixie Chicks, Kiss (their old stuff), Chicago, and the list goes on and on. I admit it, I am a Hilary Duff fan (of her music, not movies), same goes with Lalaine and Raven. Hannah Montana (Miley Cyrus) rocks too (well, not so much anymore)! I love to sing hymns, especially with my family and close friends. I also love to chord on my guitar and sing along. That's relaxing to me. I'm also a cat freak and photography/scrapbooking nut. I love to read for pleasure, and I'm a movie/DVD junkie. Blockbuster, Hastings, Redbox, Netflix and Amazon.com probably love me! I love my Roku!

I really enjoy reading Star Trek (all installations of it), Brady Bunch, Law and Order:SVU, Hannah Montana, Harry Potter, Touched By an Angel and Lizzie McGuire fanfics. I'm new to writing fanfiction. So far, have only written for Lizzie McGuire, Brady Bunch, Harry Potter and Touched by an Angel. I've not done a Star Trek fic yet as I'm not confident in the technical side of Star Trek. I probably won't write an SVU story either.

My favourite characters are: Lt. Uhura, Deanna Troi, Beverly Crusher, T'Pol, Major Kira, Dax (both of 'em), Kathryn Janeway, Kes, Olivia Benson, Casey Novak, Carol Brady, Jan Brady, Cindy Brady, Miley Stewart, Lilly Truscott, Miranda Sanchez, Gordo, and Jo McGuire. I like all the McGuire characters, but Jo's my favourite. I like Lizzie the least. I also love Narcissa Malfoy and Bellatrix LeStrange--my two favourite vilainesses. I love ALL the Malfoys! They ROCK! Sorry, but Ron Weasley's got to be my least favourite HP character; kind of annoying.

I do like some pairings. I don't do slash or threesomes. NOT my cup of kool-aid. So, you won't see any from me. I like Trip/T'Pol (ENT), P/C, R/T (TNG), K/O, E.Dax/Bashir (DS9), J/C, J/P (somewhat), J/Q, and P/T (Voyager). I love Fin/Casey. I think E/O is cliche, but love it when done well. I love exploring Jo/Sam (duh, they're married), and I like L/G or Miranda/Gordo. I've read one story here that was Jo/Gordo, which I thought was spectacular. I do like Matt/Melina, and wanna explore Sam/someone else (okay, affair). I also enjoy writing Mike/Carol stories (BB) and stories involving one of the Brady Bunch kids as the central character (I'm especially fond of Jan and Cindy). I also enjoy Narcissa/Lucius Malfoy, Draco/Ginny (although that's AU), Lily Luna Potter/Scorpius Malfoy, or Rose Weasley/Scorpius Malfoy. I don't like a lot of AU shippers w/ Harry Potter stories.

I like stories with lots of plot twists and turns. I don't care too much for cliche plots, unless there's a twist within the story. My favourite plot devices are: pregnant Jo, Lizzie going through trials (with family support), character death (This includes suicide; I will put those in the M category for I know that's a sensitive subject. I work in a hospital, so I've seen death up close), eating disorders (those will be put in M out of respect to those who struggle), J/C marry and have a family, and Fin and Casey hooking up. I'll try not to keep repeating the same devices over and over ad infinitum, ad nauseum. There are some things you won't see in my stories: I won't go into graphic detail on rape or drug use (but may use them as a MINOR plot device), write a character as a homosexual (i HATE slash fics, especially when the characters are so not homosexual), torture (ugh! that gives me nightmares), or anything I've not researched. I do want to respect my readers by being sensitive to them, which means putting appropriate ratings on my stories (erring on the conservative).

One more thing, yeah, I love babyfics. You may find that the majority of my stories revolve around this plot device. They do and many of my future stories probably will. I make no apologies for that.

So, with all this, read, enjoy and review! Thanks!
