I've been a writer for over 10 years now. When I first started, I was writing fanfic for Star Wars and Star Trek, and they were HORRIBLE. Thank God I had the sense to not post them anywhere. I believe all the files of my early work have been destroyed, and rightfully so as it was just a bunch of crap

A few years ago, I got a huge writers block and wasn't able to write anything at all. I did attempt a couple of Lord of the Rings fanfics, but never got very far with them and never posted them. Then, earlier in 2008, I rediscovered my love for The Outsiders, and with that I found that I was able to write again. Yay! :)

My favorite character is Tim Shepard, followed very closely by Two-Bit Mathews. Now that I've started writing him, I also really love Bob Sheldon. The character I can most easily write, though, is Darry Curtis, because I'm able to very easily identify with him. And, as I'm sure you can tell by now, music inspires a lot of what I write.

When I first started back writing, I was just doing one-shots, but now I have a few multi-chapter fics lined up. "Going Anywhere" was the first one I started posting with my very first OC in Outsiders-word, Wade. He's mah baby. :) I'm also posting my NaNoWriMo story, "The Girl with the Broken Smile" and I have a sister-fic going called "You'll Never Walk Alone". Yes, you read right, a sister-fic. A Curtis sister fic, to boot. I promise you it's nothing like any other sister-fic you've read before. ;)

I'm also starting to branch out into other fandoms, as you'll see with "Let them die", a Star Trek one-shot. There may be a sequel for that, but for now it stands alone. I'm not sure of the next fandom I'll touch, possibly Star Wars or Lord of the Rings or The Scarlet Pimpernel or whatever may strike my fancy.

Well, I hope you enjoy my stories. Feel free to drop me a line, if you wish, I thrive on feedback. :)

Updates: In honor of Good Fic Day, my sister-fic has been updated. Enjoy!

Note: Alright, I almost got caught up with reviews and stuff, but real life intervened and I've gotten behind. Again. I still owe reviews to "Crossing the Line" by cyn chains which is on fictionpress, "Epiphany" by samaryley, "Love Story" by Artemis Rex, and "Storm Warning" by mars on fire.

Well, I've moved yet again! This time from Pennsylvania to Ohio, and this time I have internet! I'm not sure what is going to get attention first, if you have any ideas or suggestions, then feel free to pm me. I'm hoping to get into gear soon!

Yet another update! I got enrolled in school!! I'm going to Fortis College for Medical Office Technology (though I've heard rumors it will be changed to Health Information Management because I guess that sounds better to employers) and I started this past January and just had my midterms last week. Whew! I promise I will try my best, you guys, I really will! (that is, if anyone is even still reading my things :/ )
