Hi there. Thanks for reading my stories, I hope you've enjoyed them. I appreciate any feedback you're willing to give me, and I make it a point to reply to the reviews I receive. I use flames to heat up my soup, in case you care.

As for my interests and current plans, I am rather obsessed with Teen Titans at the moment and plan to write a few more things about them, before I move on to something different. Hopefully, I'll also manage to entertain a few people along the way.

My most recent ongoing project is So Say We All, and I hope the people who've enjoyed my previous stories will be interested in that. However, at the present moment, I'm taking a temporary break from that story to complete Family, another TT fic I'd originally started in 2007, and have now decided to finish. Feedback and reviews are desirable!

It may (or may not) interest you to know that I derive a great deal of story/writing inspiration from listening to music. And that my recent TT writing, and Family in particular, has been very heavily inspired and influenced by the music of Dir en Grey. In fact I would say that their music would be the ideal soundtrack for that story, and for my overall interpretation of the Titans, if I could be so presumptuous.

While the majority of people who visit my page will probably already be very familiar with the characters and subjects I'm writing about -- particularly the Teen Titans -- it occurs to me that some visitors may not be. So, here are some links you can check out for some quick reference and background material on these characters.

TitansTower.com is an outstanding and exhaustively thorough source of general information on the Teen Titans, their history and all their various incarnations. The most relevant section to my own writing would be the mini-site dedicated to the recent animated series.

Additionally, there are also bio pages there on all of the characters I've used and plan to use; I'll add direct links to them here for the convenience of my readers.

I do not claim ownership of any of these characters. They are all the property of DC Comics, Warner Animation and their rightful creators.

In all honesty, the first time I saw the Teen Titans TV series, back in...hmm, 2003, probably...I hated it. (Let's face it, Divide and Conquer was really not a very strong start.) However, the characters intrigued me, so I stuck with it...and they sucked me in. I fell in love with these characters, who have so much more depth and dimension than I would ever have guessed, and they really made an impression on me...which is why, six years later, I'm still writing stories about them.

As a final note, the fact that I didn't create these characters does not mean that the stories I've written about them are any less personal to me.
