Er. So now what do I say? I've been writing, but really not to the satisfaction to put stuff up here. I'm trying, though. I'm mostly writing to make myself stay focused on something (relatively productive)...or not productive at all, depending on how you want to look at it :) It doesn't help that I keep changing stuff even when I consider them 'done'. Problems of a perfectionist, I guess.

I apologize for the lack of any discernable updates. I can't guarantee they'll come back, but I did put up a new fic (psst, it's down below - check it out!!) and given some brief courage, might put up some other ones too. Once again. Sorry. Facepalm!

I don't know what to say. Um, the basics, I'm a girl that is uncharacteristically addicted to Star Trek in all of its forms (except for DS9. I could never get into it. I think it had the weakest characters of all the series'...but that's just my two cents, I guess). I am in complete aspects a true geek. "I spawned, I ran, I fragged". You know, gaming and fixing my PC and stuff. Um, I also love most other sci-fi stuff, and school (though I will end up complaining about it endlessly, believe you me)

Fic Status Stuff

Updated Nov 22, 2009

Bridging of the Minds - Updated July 17, 07; chapter 12. Er...nothing's coming to me on this one. I apologize :(

Do No Harm - Pending; chapter 1. I haven't posted this yet; my very strange yet quite plausable House, MD/Star Trek: TNG crossover. Chapter 5 is done. And let me just say one thing: ROMULANS!!

What One Will Do For Family - Pending; chapter 1. This is a 24 fanfic I've been working on for a long time...I've taken a twist because this story is entirely from Andre Drazen's point of view. I base part of it before he shows up in Day One to kinda show why he's doing what he's doing, and the other part with moments that take place during Day One (like the cafe scene with Alexis at 2 PM and the entire thing at the pier) - inculding extended stuff, like what would happen during commercials or when the show flips back to Palmer or CTU. So yeah...

Mark IV - Pending; chapter 1. This is a Eureka/Iron Man crossover spawned by the very similar natures of Nathan and Tony Stark. In reality, they are related. Tony comes to Eureka to have Nathan fix a problem, and then Mandarin shows up and Nathan must take up the mantle of Iron Man to defeat Mandarin and save the town of Eureka from ... his Mandarin ness. Chapter 5 is finished, will probably end up being the fic I finish the quickest.

Ocean's Three - Pending; chapter 1. A very fangirlish crossover for me ... crossing over Law and Orders CI and SVU with Raines (remember that show?) Kinda inspired by the fact that Jeff Goldblum is joining CI in the fall but just ... I didn't wanna touch the character before details came out, and in April (ARGH!) find out that everything I wrote is just dead wrong...so I took the Goldblumminess as Raines. Story centering around Goren, Munch and Raines. Is finished, still tweaking little bits and pieces

A Veiled Eclipse - Pending; chapter 1. A Harry Potter/The Dresden Files crossover. Not sure where I am going with this (aka I found it after a long time of not working on it). Chapter 5 done.

One Way Glass - Pending; chapter 1. It's a sort of drabble I started to write about a mirror universe CI. I saw the movie Under Siege 2, with Eric Bogosian playing an awesome villain, and it just started from there "...what if Major Case was a crime syndicate led by Ross and his psychotic chief enforcers Goren and Logan?" So it's a little weird and just kind of a rough dialoge right now.
