Author has written 38 stories for Harry Potter, Artemis Fowl, Fruits Basket, Wolf's Rain, Pirates of the Caribbean, Chronicles of Narnia, Supernatural, NCIS, Alice in Wonderland, 2010, Merlin, and NCIS: Los Angeles.

I can't believe it, but I have joined Twitter. Search for Bundibird, and you will find me. In my defence, I mostly joined so that I could follow Misha Collins and Bradley James. But still. Twitter. Wow.

An update on Give You the Sun and Farmers, and Fields Full of Potatoes:

The next chapters are coming, I promise. I strained the tendons in both my hands - both! - because of too much typing (typing all day at work and then all night at home is a bad idea - who knew?) and then I wasnt able to type ANYTHING for a month (I tell you - I was going crazy). It's mostly better now, so I've started work on the next chapters for both of them, but they're being a little beastly and not behaving the way they ought to. But they ARE coming, and thank you for your patience!

Also, to anyone who has reviewed anything of mine in the last month (or does at any stage in the foreseeable future) - thank you! I have got no internet at the moment (this is being written in a 5 minute time-frame off a friend's computer), so that's why I haven't replied to any of you. But I really, really appreciate it - thank you.

Some Facts:

I am a practicing Christian.

I abhor, refuse to read and would never even DREAM of writing slash, and the notion of incest simply disgusts me on so many levels that I can't even begin to describe it.

I am a she, and I am somewhere between 20 and 24 years old. I'm also vaguely paranoid of freaky internet stalkers, hence the incredible vagueness.

I am Australian, and I can be ridiculously patriotic. I'm not a fan of Political Correctness and I'm really very focussed on animal and enviromental welfare.

I despise whaling, sealing, deforestation, arsonists, and anything that damages the Earth and it's non-human-inhabitants.

I am a recent vegetarian. One year strong, now, actually. Going vegetarian was as much a surprise to me as it was to my family; my sister didnt think I'd last a fortnight. Oh, ye of little faith.

God is my hero. Jesus is right up there too. I look up to and deeply respect Steve Irwin, Paul Watson (The Captain of the Sea Shepherd), C S Lewis, the ANZACs and the Diggers, the CFA, and anyone who stands up and tries to save the world.

I am writing an original series. I started it to pass the time when I was bored at work one day, and it's sort of exploded from there and is now my main focus. I'm about two-thirds through Book One, but have the whole series plotted out. I shan't tell you any details other than that it's a medieval fantasy/adventure and that I'm having so much fun writing it.

You may notice a pattern with my fics. Mostly, they’re focussed on male characters, and mostly, they’re focussed on the brotherly relationship between a pair of male characters (blood relatives or not). I have a serious brothership complex. If there's a bromance to be had, I'm on it like a shot. I think it might have started with the movie Radio Flyer. Fantastic movie. I recommend it. It’s got Elijah Wood is in it as a little kid, actually, which is just a cute little added bonus.

Favourite Bible verse: 2 Corinthians 4:16-18: We do not give up. Our bodies are gradually dying, but we ourselves are being made stronger each day. These little troubles are getting us ready for an eternal glory which will make all our troubles seem like nothing. Things that are seen don't last forever, but things that are not seen are eternal. That's why we keep our minds on the things that can't be seen.

CHRISTMAS vs "XMAS"

I utterly DESPISE the term "xmas." I actually don't think there's another word that I dislike as much as I hate the term "xmas."

CHRISTMAS is awesome - I truly love Christmas. Although not the actual date of Jesus' birth (I think He was born around August?) the day is a celebration of the birth of God's Son and our Saviour, and I think that makes it the best day of the year. The point of Christmas - whatever it has commercially become - originally was and always will be to celebrate Jesus' birth. Hence why it is called "CHRIST-mas," as in, "Celebration of Christ."

When someone uses the term "xmas," they are literally crossing Christ out; putting a big X where His name should be. And I can't think of a greater insult than that.

So that is why I hate the term "xmas" - because it blatantly erases what it is that Christmas is all about.

So please, take an extra two seconds and write CHRISTmas. Even if you don't believe in/follow God but you still celebrate Christmas, please spell the word correctly, in honour of what the celebration is - at heart - all about.

"I think you're mad - I think you're all mad; people should marry for love, not convenience, and if Uther thinks that an unhappy king makes for a great king, then he's wrong. Because you may be destined to become the greatest king Camelot has ever known, but you have a choice as to how you do it." -Merlin to Arthur (Merlin 3x06 'The Changeling')

On the subject of Twilight: Jacob versus Edward? Jacob kicks Edward's sparkly butt any day of the week, no contest. And that's really all I have to say on the matter.

A note on my older stories...

My earliest stories - the very first two, really - are... pretty dodgy. They're really not that crash hot. But you know what? I'm proud of them anyway. Because they show how much I've developed as a writer, and how much I've improved since I first started on this site. Some people get rid of their old, crappy stories, but I'm going to keep mine, because they're a clear indication of progress. So that's those frirst two bodgy old stories are still up here.

Fics that I would love to see someone do:

These are various quotes and ideas that I don't have stories for, but that someone else might. I think they would make for great fic-inspiration for someone. Of course, the stories don't have to be for the fandom's I've attached them to; they're just the ones I thought of upon finding the quote. If you do write a story for one of these, please let me know, as I would love to read it.

Merlin:

"It is a rare and beautiful thing to be completely understood by another." -PK Shaw.

"It is by the promise of power that evil often attracts the weak." -Eric Hoffer.

"Fate leads the willing, and drags along the reluctant." -Seneca.

Supernatural:

"...though a righteous man falls seven times, he rises again..." -Proverbs 24:16.

"Fools rush in where angels fear to tread." -Alexander Pope

The Funniest Thing I Have Ever Read On The Internet (Possibly Ever, Period):

www.hyperboleandahalf.com

It's a blog written by someone in America, and I honestly have never laughed harder in my life. My favourites include: "The Alot," "Dog," "How A Fish Almost Destroyed My Childhood," "A Better Pain Scale," and "The God of Cake." That being said, there were very few posts that DIDN'T end with me in absolute throes of laughter, but if you come across one of the more serious ones first, don't stop there. Look at the "Best Of" ones - it's worth it, I promise.

"The sweetest thing in all my life has been the longing - to reach the Mountain; to find the place where all the beauty comes from. My country; the place I ought to have been born. Do you think it all meant nothing, all the longing? The longing for Home? For indeed it feels not like going, but like going back." - C. S. Lewis

"The world's still the same, mate. There's just... less in it." - Jack Sparrow, At World's End

(Arguably) The most inspirational quote in the world:

Sam: I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened?
But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer.
Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn't. Because they were holding on to something.

Frodo: What are we holding on to, Sam?

Sam: That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it's worth fighting for.

-Samwise "Sam" Gamgee and Frodo Baggins, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

"Courage is not one of the virtues. Courage is every one of the virtues at it's testing point." -C. S. Lewis

"She wasted all her school time wanting to be the age she is now, and she'll waste all the rest of her life trying to stay that age. Her whole idea is to race on to the silliest time of one's life as quick as she can, and then stop there for as long as she can." - Lady Polly; The Last Battle by C S Lewis

"If Narnia is a game, then Aslan is but a dream, both here and there, and then His forgiveness means nothing. And without His mercy and love I am forever lost. We are forever lost. Susan, when you are ready to be found, He is here to find you... as He once found me." Edmund - Not Ready to be Found, by Lirenel (http://www.fanfiction.net/u/241274/Lirenel)

"Death is not extinguishing the light. It is putting out the lamp, because morning has come." - Rabindranath Tagore

"The term is over; the holidays have begun. The dream is ended; this is the morning." - Aslan; The Last Battle by C S Lewis
