I am here to live out loud ~ Emile Zola

IMPORTANT NOTE - PLEASE READ - Updated 07-09-2009

Chapter 21, "I Am Not Yours", is now posted (or will be shortly). I know you have all been waiting patiently for me to post, and I hope you haven't given up on me. Just to let me loyal readers know, I was laid off from my job in April. Since then I've been doing a lot of temp work as I can get it, but it takes up a lot of my time trying to find something new that will give me benefits and pay my bills. Life just seems to get in the way of writing all the time.

I really enjoy writing "Return to the Labyrinth", and I hope you all enjoy reading it. I am also thinking that my friend and I need to finish our Labyrinth crack fic, "Adventures of Leigh and Leia: The Labyrinth", because we keep coming up with ideas for additional crackfics to sequel it. Namely we have notes and storylines in the works for Leigh and Leia adventures in "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Star Trek". These are trivial distractions, I know, compared to my main fic, but I hope you'll forgive them. I know they are terrible stories with very little plot and some extremely corny jokes, but really, I have to get the goofiness out somehow in order to avoid it taking over my real writing!

I'm going to end this little note now. I'll never be a good blogger because I can't see anyone REALLY giving a shit about me personally. I just wanted to share with you why I take so long to update. Thank you for listening.

THIS HAS BEEN A PUBLIC FANFIC ANNOUNCEMENT. YOUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED PROGRAMMING WILL NOW RESUME

The following is a short and sweet biography of...myself.

I was born in Colorado, and I would dearly love to go back there. I'm a pure bread american mutt, with Irish, English, Dutch and Norwegian, although the Irish is the only part that counts (If you can't tell from the Pen Name.) I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts as an Illustrator, but I haven't quite made it my career yet. I'm twenty something and last May I got married. The only thing saving me from becoming the crazy cat lady on the corner is my wonderful husband.

There are only a few types of fan fics I can bear to pursue, namely Labyrinth, Pirates of the Carribean, and Anita Blake Vampire Hunter. Since Laurell K Hamilton doesn't see fit to allow fan fic of her work here on the site, that pretty much limits me to two categories. Still, I'm pretty open minded, so I may expand my horizons someday.

In the meantime, I hope my writing is at least mildly entertaining for you folks.

Sign: Aquarius

Movies: Yes, but some highlights are Boondock Saints, Disney (animated), Pixar, anything Johnny Depp is pretty much a slam dunk, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Labyrinth (duh!), Princess Bride, anything with muppets, Star Wars, Star Trek, Indiana Jones, Secret of Nimh, Eddie Izzard: Dress to kill, Independence Day, anything by Miyazaki, and I have a weakness for any Indie/Art house flick that comes out of the Sundance or Cannes film festivals.

Books: Laurel K Hamilton, Terry Goodkind, Robert Jordan, Amanda Quick/Jayne Ann Krentz/Jayne Castle, Jim Butcher, Lois McMaster Bujold, Cecilia Dart-Thornton and I'm currently in love with anything by Jared Diamond (Guns, Germs and Steel) or Bill Bryson (In a sunburned country).
