Hey all!

Never thought I'd do this, but I've pulled my Spirited Away story for the time being. Major writers block on that one. It was mostly planned out, but how to get from A to B was giving me grief and it hung there unfinished and annoying. I'm hoping to some day get back to it since that was going to be a long- albeit leisurely paced- adventure. If I do I will repost it, but I hate having unfinished stories on my account. I would've done this sooner, but there were a lot of people watching this story and I felt bad letting them down. Hopefully some of them will switch to author watch instead.

I read and write across different fandoms. Feel free to point me to your works if you like. I will respond to private messages.

Manga are my current love and I read this site and this one as well. I also read web comics like crazy! Here are a few of my current faves:

Gunnerkrigg Court- kid safe, at least for teens. Fantasy world, crazy coming of age story... love it.

Girl Genius- likewise. Mad science, steam punk, skimpy bikinis, what's not to love?

Red String- older teens can handle it, but there are adult themes here. Coming of age story with romance, heartache and school life.

Seraph Inn has several stories on it. The currently updating one I read is this one. Spooky stuff and romance! There's a completed one called Inverloch that is also a good read.

I regularly read Finder and Strays as well (among many, many others.) Finder really had me hooked until recently. That's what happens when you leave out your most compelling character for too long. Sure, he was there by way of being sought after, but we've strayed wide of the mark for too long, if you ask me. You may need to buy the back stories, not sure how much is located online. Support the author is well worth it, by the way and the artwork in the books is terrific. Speaking of straying... Strays is new and promises so much! I want to know more about our major characters and their backstories. Having a mute main character in a graphic form is great! Everything he needs to say has to be done on the page, not through dialog.

But wait, you may say, don't you read dead trees anymore? Heck yeah, says I! Currently I've got Mirrors in my car and just finished this one on body language. I'm reading Howl's Moving Castle to my kids (AGAIN!) and will read most anything by Christopher Moore.
