Author has written 16 stories for Charles Dickens, Little Mermaid, Sherlock Holmes, and Fairy Tales. I am a teenage, Christian homeschooler who loves to write novels and poetry. I love the Lord, my family, and good literature, in that order. Enough said about my background. I'm sort of one of those reluctant fanfiction writers. I once told myself that I would never do something like this, but I guess I just sort of fell into it. If fanfiction was banned, I would mourn, but otherwise I'd just sit in my corner and work some more on my 'honest' writing. So why did I start writing fanfiction? Well, I read A Tale of Two Cities and fell absolutely in love with it, but I thought there were a few chapters in the story that Dickens left out. So I'm here to bring them into the world. I don't pretend to be nearly as good as Dickens, but if it's not to disrespectful I'd like to try my hand at portraying his characters. Sydney Carton is my absolute favorite! I would so marry him if I could, and I am trying to find a way to create an original character similar to him without completely lifting his nature. A drunk with a solid streak of integrity that shows through at the very end - I love it! Thank you Dickens! I also believe firmly that the ending was completely perfect! None of that rewriting-the-ending stuff; the ending was my favorite part of the book! Since then, I have become a decidedly obsessed Sherlockian. If you asked me why, I would be rather hard-pressed to pin down the reason. I think the twofold reason is that I love the amazing in-depth character that Holmes is, and I also love his and Watson's friendship. Since they first came into my brain in July 2009, they have refused to leave, no matter how many times I've tried to take a vacation from them. They are currently in the process of trying to overthrow my NaNoNovel -- but I am being stubborn on that point. A few notes on some of my stories: The Absence: This is my first fanfiction work, so don't be too hard on me! This is one of those 'missing chapters' from the book that I thought needed to be told. Dickens never reveals exactly why Sydney Carton was in France to begin with, and this oneshot fills in the details. The Voice of the Sea: There are some creative moments that come upon you without explanation, and demand only that you make use of them. This story is the product of one of those moments. I watched The Little Mermaid 2, and I almost completely hated it. However, there was this one moment in the movie which I felt could be explained further, that intrigued me. It demanded that I write fanfiction for it, and I obliged. It doesn't matter if you loved the movie or hated it: just read it for what it is. Anyhow, enjoy! I love constructive criticism because it helps me grow as a writer in all areas, so if you have any for me I will welcome it! Stories I would like to write fanfiction for someday in the future: ~Narnia ~The Last Unicorn ~Jane Eyre And of course, I would love to write more stories for A Tale of Two Cities and Sherlock Holmes. Fanfiction pet peeves: ~ Slash ~ Mary-Sues ~ Foul Language ~ Attributing modern immoral behavior to respectable characters of the past ~ Having Sherlock Holmes fall in love ~ People who don't warn for slash | |||||||||
