About Me

Likes: Books, reading, writing, music, crossword puzzles, thunderstorms (to name a few).

Dislikes: Rats, apathy, golf, cilantro, commercials.

Miscellaneous: I love well-written OCs. I think there is such a thing as well-written Mary Sue, but it takes a really rare and talented writer to really make it work. I hate it when people say 'anyways.' I love semicolons but I'm always afraid I'll use them improperly. I wish I could be like Peter Jackson and go barefoot everywhere. I enjoy quoting movies, especially Zoolander. I am aware that all of these statements are completely unrelated.

My Fics

In progress:

A Fair Amount of Courage--Chapter 14 is finally up! Chapter 15 is being written.

A Written Penance--Ergh. Chapter 7 is being quite difficult. Hopefully I'll be able to sort it out soon. Also, I will be revising chapters 1-6. It won't be a major overhaul--there are just some things that I want to fix (dialogue and some phrasing, mainly).

Some Enchanted Evening--Chapter 3 is being written.

Unpublished--I've been working on a Nolanverse Batman fic, a True Blood/Southern Vampire Mysteries fic, several Newsies fics, and a few Harry Potter fics. No idea when any of them will be posted, but it will probably be sooner rather than later.

Complete:

-The Girl in the Papers (Harry Potter)

Hiatus:

-A Fellowship Christmas (Lord of the Rings)

Discontinued:

-The Truth About Elves (Lord of the Rings)

Discontinued as of June 2006. Honestly, I don’t think this is my best work, although it had a pretty decent following. After receiving some helpful criticism, I decided to revise the story. I made revisions to the first ten chapters and Chapter 37 before I realized that I couldn’t continue it. This was a very difficult decision for me to make; I really enjoyed writing TTAE and it was something I always expected to finish. But as much as I enjoyed writing it and as much as I adore my readers, I can't really take TTAE any farther than where it is. I was 14 when I started it and even though I'd like to think of myself as a brilliant 8th-grader, I know that the concept of the fic is fairly unoriginal and leans heavily toward a Mary Sue. I know I can do better than that. I've had the opportunity to grow as a writer, and I feel that through that process, I've outgrown TTAE. Anyway…if you choose to judge my work on anything, don’t judge it on TTAE. It’s a fun little fic, but it’s not my best. PS. Legolas and Haley do live happily ever after.
