My fictionpress name is the same as it is here.

Had my second little girl on the 9th of Feb. She's just over a month old now, and is a fat, happy baby.

So, yeah. I'm an artist, and a writer. Trying to get back into the groove of both, but it's not going too well. Anyway, i'm twenty-three, and reside in North Texas. Not going to school, so I don't really have any excuse for my laziness. It just comes naturally. Heh. Am an Aries/Ox, so that should tell you something. Luff A:tLA, Harry Potter, LJ Smith, Ugly Betty, and all the CSI's. Ummm...i like powdered donuts, and Lucky Charms, and live off of Dr. Pepper. I have four cats. Don't really like dogs. Good bands are Blackmore's Night, Stabbing Westward, Within Temptation, Nickelback, Lady Gaga, and George Strait. Favorite song of the mo' is Seether's version of "Careless Whisper."

My current overall obsession is Avatar: The Last Airbender. Got a fic in the works for that, down below. Just a few one-shots from the larger story, but it's progressing more than anything else i've EVER written, which just shocks me. Centers around Zutara, takes place just after FBM, but extends over five years or so. Yeah. And there'll be a nexgen sequel. Yay.

And somebody PLEASE let me know which story you'd like to see focused on. I've asked this before, but people didn't seem to be that interested in responding. Maybe I should take a hint. >_> In any case, just drop a line telling me what you like, what you don't, and what you'd enjoy seeing in the future. Gracias.

LATEST WORK:
Becoming The Bull: AKA "Feels Like Rain." A ton of one-shots, only a handful of which i can post without giving main plot points away. So i'll just do that, and in the meantime try my hardest to fit everything together coherently. THAT'LL be fun. -toph-

IN PROGRESS:
Untitled: New story? Not as such. It's actually a rewrite of Blood of Me, my old Night World fic. I grew a bit jaded with the original plot, and decided to revamp.

Wash Away: On fictionpress; an original story. It's got some pretty dark themes, but i think people will enjoy it overall. Hopefully. If ya'll don't go squick on me. I should have the first chapter up sometime soon.

Gravity: Coming along, slowly but surely. The narrator has a fondness for tangents, i'm afraid, so it's going to be a bit confusing for a while.

True North: Chapter three is done. Woo. Enjoy. Tell me if you want more. ;)

HAITUS:
Cigarettes and Spearmint: What to say about this one...if i feel like whipping up more D/G oneshots - maybe AU, maybe not - then i'll do it, and post it. It just depends. It was a mood thing. Otherwise, don't really expect this one to be touched for a while.

Heaven's Shadow: I think i'm just going to water this one down into a few chapters, instead of yet another epic. It makes my head explode to try and think of anything really detailed with this one, and I think I can create just as much impact with a short story as I could with a novel. So, meh. That, and it is now painfully AU. Oh, the heartache.

Ghost of the Sun: I REALLY want to do it. I just...have absolutely no idea how to go about. It's all jumbled up in my head into wild, random images and scenes, and i don't know how to put it down coherently, in a story. It's HUGE. An epic. The biggest, baddest story i have ever come up with, and that is saying something.

DEAD FICS:
Life Beyond and See No Evil: i've decided to drop them. They no longer interest me.

FUTURE FICS:
So I know this sounds random and not at all up my alley, but i've been thinking about a sequel to Rob Zombie's Halloween. LOVE that movie to death! -chews on it- anyway, something where Michael didn't actually bite the dust at the end like it insinuated (c'mon - at that range, with all that blood? It's pretty much a given.), but instead lives. It's mostly about Laurie coping with the aftermath, and the ensuing trial, and even reconnecting with her brother over the years. Wierd, i know. But i'm a sucker for bro/sis dynamics, mostly cos i don't have a brother.

A 10th Kingdom fic, featuring the first Red Queen and the Big Bad Wolf. My take on events. It's still a vague outline, but getting there.

Another Night World fic, about a young lamia girl who grows up on one of the enclaves. She begs her father for a pet, and gets saddled with an ornery werewolf cub. Chaos ensues. It's getting there.

:old.news: Check out meh forum and tell me what you think about my work. Suggestions welcome. Also, a more extensive forum is at: http://fluffysfics.proboards92.com also, a new fic up at fp.com.
