Author has written 42 stories for Bartimaeus Trilogy, Harry Potter, X-Men: Evolution, House, M.D., Batman Begins/Dark Knight, James Bond, Chuck, Misc. Movies, and Mad Men. Guy, American. Interests: writing, reading, music, and Major League Baseball. Most of my multi-chaptered stories are finished: the ones that aren't, and haven't been updated for years, are probably abandoned, due to lack of interest on my part or just general poor planning. Favorite books: Grendel by John Gardner, Catch-22 by Joseph Heller, The Sun Also Rises by Hemingway, and of course anything I've written fics for. I post sporadically, since I'm working on original fiction as well, but I try to post a few one-shots per year. If you email me I'll respond, but it may take a while - I check this account and my email for it very rarely. Thanks for visiting, and enjoy! | |||||
