| Foibles and Fables |
Author has written 44 stories for Xenosaga, Grey's Anatomy, and Private Practice. Hey there! The name's Foibles and Fables, and I'm here to share some of my writing with you. I'm just your average, ordinary kind of high school Junior living in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I used to be in love with Xenosaga, but I recently switched my obsession over to the lovely Grey's Anatomy. I deleted many of my Xenosaga stories except my favorites, which have been kept mainly for nostalgic purposes (plus the fact that one of them is the only ShionxAllen lemon I've ever managed to come across...blasphemy!!). As for Grey's, I am in love with Cristina Yang and Lexie Grey. I also like a plethora of pairings, many of which contradict one another...I'm the person I know who can tolerate MerDer, Addek, MerMark, AND Maddison. My favorite pairings would have to be: Burke/Cristina Mark/Lexie Meredith/Mark Alex/Lexie Lexie/Meredith Meredith/Derek You can add many other pairings to that list and still be correct about what I like. If I listed them all, I think I'd break the internets. Thanks for sticking around to read my bio. Look for many Grey's stories coming from me in the future. Oh, and P.S., if anyone knows what my PenName is a reference too, I'll be your BFF forever. | |||||||||||||
