Author has written 44 stories for Daria, Garfield, Emperor's New Groove, Misc. Movies, and The Music Man. Salutations, reader, and welcome to my profile! :-) I am a writer in my personal and professional life, and I especially enjoy dabbling in fanfiction. I tend to write fanfic for eclectic, lesser-known fandoms: If there isn't enough fanfic out there, I feel driven to create some, so I'll have something to read! My reading interests span several fandoms, but when it comes to writing, my main fandom is The Music Man (1962 film version, but the beauty of it is you can imagine whichever actors you want in most of my fics). The other reigning co-queen of prolificacy in Music Man fanfic is Tmyres77 - I highly encourage you to check out her charming Harold/Marian vignettes. For those who are inclined to wade through the sheer number of Music Man fics in the MG Universe and would like to read them in some semblance of order, you might find this segmented chronology helpful: Building a Life Together - The Courtship of Marian Paroo Falling in Love The Day After The Poem Everyone Loves a Parade Almost Home Roses and Moonlight Being in Love The Sadder But Wiser Girl One More Day Building a History Together - Marriage and Children Wedding Day Jitters Welcome Home, Mrs. Hill Honeymoon Vignettes Wherever a Snowball Hit Scars Scandalously in Love Reciprocation Happy Anniversary Triumph of the Early Bird (featuring OC Fred Gallup) Revelation To Be Alone With You Afterglow The New Arrival I Only Have Eyes for You The Waking of Briar-Rose A Man Could Sing It The Future is Bright - Paris and Beyond Unflappable Harold Gets Laryngitis (in progress) A Fair Compromise Two to Tango Remembering Paris A Man Could Sing It, Part Two (in progress) The Paris Experiment Mistletoe and Memories Some Rain Must Fall From Spinster To Wife (featuring OC Jane Edna Peabody) (in progress) The Dead Stay With Us Reunited (in progress) "Extra Scenes" in the film and fanon An Impromptu Stroll A Change of Heart A Long Lost Cause The Forgivable Sin Reflections Affectionate Parodies and Crossovers The Music Man: Condensed!
