Author has written 34 stories for Law and Order: SVU, Firefly, OZ, Goonies, Underworld, and Chuck.

Female, Philadelphian, Bryn Mawr College graduate. Love to love the bad boys, but they always break my heart. What's a girl to do but write them into heroes? I love feedback (who doesn't) and I take requests. Thanks for stopping by!

Well, voting is over (I think) at Best of RAYNE and I've got a fancy imaginary dress picked out for the online award show (when we have it).

Hi, y'all! If you're reading this, you're probably interested in finding out more about what I'm about.

Gosh, what can I say?

For starters, I am a handful. I tend to be pretty open-minded, but once I form a definite opinion about something, it takes a lot of evidence to sway me. I love a dirty joke, a clean kitchen, a greasy cheeseburger and a good night's sleep. Accurate spelling, excellent grammar, a plausible plot, entertaining and in-character dialogue, and respect for the characters are what I strive to achieve in my fan fiction.

My fandoms are many and varied, but they usually include either 1) a cuddly badass motherf-cker of a hero; 2) a strong, intelligent, take-charge heroine; and/or 3) an situation between two characters that gives them very little chance of successfully and satisfactorily resolving the UST between them.

Please refer to my bookcase (Scrinium Strigida Viridis - The Illustrated Guide) to discover the depths of my depravity.

My Personal Guidelines For Writing Fan Fiction

1. I will know the characters inside and out and treat them with respect. I will not make them do anything that is implausible / out-of-character; they will conduct themselves in my fiction with the intelligence, mannerisms and speech patterns that their creator(s) endowed them. All displays of emotion will be in character; I will never write emo-pr0n.
2. I will thoroughly research every aspect of the setting and plot. I will not “make something up” unless I absolutely have to or I am writing in an alternate universe.
3. I will “play the wanting” and make sure the characters have sufficient foreplay to warrant anything from lusting after each other to exchanging bodily fluids. Sex is hot, but sex after a hell of a lot of meaningful eye contact, banter and physical tension is even hotter.
4. I will payoff every single element of foreshadowing I introduce into the piece.
5. I will use dialogue as often as I can to move the action forward. I will not resort to describing the scene unless the physical activity effectively communicates what words will not, or silence is necessary between the characters. I will not write expository openers - whenever possible, I will start in media res and proceed from there.
6. I will stick with my style, but I will not be afraid to experiment now and then.
7. I will edit multiple times to make sure that the piece is something I’d be proud to put my name on.
8. For the love of God, I will spell-check and grammar-check everything before I post.
9. I will acknowledge any and all people who contributed to the final product.

Much love,

Green Owl

P.S. Come and visit your fellow RAYNE shippers over at Copper For A Kiss at LiveJournal. Drop in, introduce yourself, give feedback, write fiction, receive feedback (this is me, "passing the crack pipe"...) and when you're done there, come to Spread The Love for a taste of the magic that is JELLIE.

P.P.S - But wait, there's more! I am also available as a beta-reader. But be warned: I do not tolerate half-assed attempts at fan fiction and I am brutal (as in "Simon-Cowell-when-he-hasn't-had-his-morning-dose-of-happy-crack" brutal) when it comes to making your story great.

Where to find me:

Open A Vein (greenowl.livejournal.com) - my personal LJ

Scrinium Strigida Viridis (greenowl99.livejournal.com) - LJ archive of my fan fiction and the place to find the more "adult-oriented" pieces I've penned

Copper For A Kiss (community.livejournal.com/rayne_shippers/) - LJ Community for Firefly's River & Jayne shippers (where I post most of my RAYNE work before it ends up here)

Spread The Love (community.livejournal.com/jellie_shippers/) - LJ Community for Chuck's John & Ellie shippers

Okay, a few more things that should be mentioned.

1.) When I have a story listed as "Complete", that means it is, indeed, complete. No more chapters, no more updates. I wouldn't be mentioning it here except that some of y'all are just so awesome as to ask for more, but I regret to say that the plot bunnies which spawned each of the "Complete" stories have left the building.

2.) Some of you may have been posting/following/lurking on Copper For A Kiss during the past year and know that I am in the midst of an epic called "The Man In The Moon". Rest assured that it will be completed and posted here at FF.Net, but not before the whole thing is done. I don't want any of you to be gnashing your teeth and sending me death threats because you want to know what happens and you want to know NOW. Hang in there!

3.) A very public and personal thank-you to any and all who have posted reviews and feedback on my stories here. It means so much to me that you took the time to tell me you enjoyed them! I write not only to amuse myself, but to entertain all of you as well. MWAH! Kisses to all of you!
