Author has written 58 stories for Beetlejuice, Grim and Evil, MirrorMask, Discworld, Office, Kim Possible, League of Super Evil, Monsters vs. Aliens, and L.A. Complex.

Hey, It's me, Mansion! I'm the one-shot sharp-shooter, boldly blazing a trail of labored metaphor down paths rarely traversed. I like to write an awful lot, and I conveniently have no aspiations of doing it as anything more than a hobby, so I don't mind writing fanfiction for absolutely no benefit or acclaim. And I certainly don't mind if yins guys read it, though very few of you seem to, what with all the obscure nonsense I get into. I kind of don't care about reviews anymore, so I've become a terrible lurker.

Beetlejuice is my forever-fandom. I've written some new things for it lately. I dunno. I guess they're kind of good. Whatever.

I sure do seem to like this show airing on the CW called "The L.A. Complex." Enough that I wrote a story for it. Will there be more in the future? It seems likely. After a lifetime of liking things I am either too old or too young or too female for, it is strange for me to genuinely like something aimed squarely in my demographic. Then again, it is Canadian, and therefore seems more trustworthy.

All old stories are what they are and will be left alone for the next eternity. Enjoy them. Or loathe them. It's up to you. I still like almost all of them, but I've always been wasting away in front of a still pool adoring my own relection when it comes to what I've written. Why bother pretending I don't? It's the only thing that gives me enough delusion to publish.

If you happen to like what I do, I gots me a Tumblr for writing that is ripped off from my betters in only a general sense rather than the fanfic sense. Here you go: http://shannondapper.tumblr.com/

3. Warm, Warm Waters reviews
"She thinks he's funny, and now he'll never be able to win, always dancing the herky-jerky dance of witty banter before her." Nick and Abby in and around the end of episode 3. Character study-ish. T for salty language, folks.

So he washes into her life when she's got better things to do and makes a lot of racket. Of course he does. Thank god for headphones, at least. Pure movie-verse. Well, maybe not that pure.

"Please tell me that makes any sense to you, because if I have to keep explaining, I think I'll talk myself out of existing." Of course, things were never what they seemed. That'd be too easy. Toon-iverse with a movie twist.
