Author has written 24 stories for Final Fantasy I-VI, Final Fantasy IX, Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, and South of Nowhere. Updated 9/24/08 I'm alive. And I've been writing a lot, just for a completely different fandom and on a different site. I still have thoughts, though, worry not. Thoughts lead to ideas, ideas lead to inspiration, and inspiration leads to writing. In theory. Of course, it doesn't help that my attention span switches from one fandom to the next all the time. Anyway, here's a rundown of what I'm working on at the current moment. I hope I can post something (anything) in the not-too distant future. (Final Fantasy VI) Beneath the Guise: Part V "Allegiance" (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) The Mark of Obsession: Buffy's resurrection and Tara's death leave Willow in the dark. W/F (South of Nowhere) Devil's Chain: Vampire Spashley. Need I say more? Tidbits From the Duchess Requisite Pairings Section Well-liked Pairings Disliked Pairings Random Notes Now, in case it's not obvious, Angst is probably my favorite genre to write, usually with an element of romance involved. I rarely write pure fluff and don't have the knack for true comedy. Over the past few years, I have developed a strong affinity for writing (and reading) female slash. Even in my male/female works, a subtle undertone of slash somehow manages to work its way in. I also love touching on the darker aspects of the "good guys" and the lighter aspects of the "bad guys." The reason I've grown so fond of Celes, Beatrix, Willow, and Faith is not necessarily because of what we see on screen, but more so what we don't see. The depth these characters have--their unexplored potential--I think, is what draws me to them. Being that I have high standards, I try to preserve tastefulness in all my works. My hope is that my readers enjoy my writing as much as I do. Okay, enough of that crap. Plot Bunnies That Refuse to Die Buffy the Vampire Slayer -Kindred: After the events of Grave, Willow finds a kindred spirit in an old enemy, and a little bit of prison time is only the beginning. Slightly AU season 7, Willow/Faith pairing. Final Fantasy -Rose of May: (FFIX) Set after Kingdom of Heaven. The aspiring knight of Alexandria forever lives in the shadow of her mother’s legacy. Through tragedy and unimaginable hardships, she finally proves her worth and takes up her mother’s sword. But when war overtakes Alexandria, Beatrix is torn between her queen, her kingdom, and a dangerous obsession. South of Nowhere | |||||||||||
