After six years of logical, systematic work called "IT," I decided to go back to my left-handed, right-brained creative roots, and thus, this account was created, way back when, three days before my 32nd birthday.

Yes, I really am a grown-up...

Reading "Dark Labyrinth" by Helen Fayle created the spark that prompted me to write about my #1 movie. Not only did I watch it in the theatre, but every single airing on HBO. Even at 3:30 AM on a school day.

They called me crazy...and got me the first VHS anyway. At the initial stages of 'wearing out,' I retired it. It lives in a small memory box dedicated to innocence. My DVD now holds the front line when I need another dose of Bowie excellence.

In stretching my writer's legs, I had the urge to create more than fan fiction.

Anij at FictionPress was created six months and one day later.

Anij at Circle of Crones followed. You must check these folks out. They give excellent feedback and quite a few are published authors.

Both sites contain the same original works. You decide where to go.

= Future efforts from The Vault =

"That Little Red Book" - There are two more chapters in the works.

Rekindling "No Dream, This" for Pika-la-Cynique's Labyrinth art challenge in ten chapters or less.

"Warrior" (working title) - Fully outlined. Chapter writing as I can. Angst.
Summary: For atonement, there is always a price to pay. To redeem her soul, Sarah Williams returns to the Castle beyond the Goblin City.

The Protector Trilogy

-- Part 1 - Once More (Complete, posted) - will not be revamped. It's slightly out of character (I think) and cliche, but as my first Labyrinth work, will stand as is.

-- Part 2 - Save Me From Myself (In progress, unposted) - will attempt to amend errors made in Part 1, as I have grown muchly as a writer since then. Chapters 1-3 from my last attempt still stand and chapter 4 is being worked on currently.

= NOTE =

Favorite Authors = Rather than favorite multiple stories by a single author, I just favorite their profile here.

Favorite Stories = Authors with only one story.

The Labyrinth of Jareth Fantasy Masquerade Ball

- "...a weekend of enchantment created each year as a celebration of inspiration and fantasy. Lost within the borders of chaos and light, nobles dance within the Faerie Court where legends take precious breath and dreams are born."
