Author has written 25 stories for Batman Begins/Dark Knight, X-Men: The Movie, Batman, Star Trek: 2009, Supernatural, Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed, Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, Firefly, and Doctor Who.

Welcome to the profile of The Batchild!

Why, hello there! My name is Leigh, but here on the interwebs, I am known as The Batchild. I can be found here as well: http://thebatchild.tumblr.com

Batman has been my favourite superhero and a source of inspiration since I was about two, and I have also resided firmly in the world of Star Trek since about the same time. I watch a lot of movies and television, read like there’s no tomorrow and write as if my life depended on it. Eventually, I would like to be a published author capable of sustaining myself off my writing, but beyond that, I would like to write for a video game developer or maybe a television show. I'm profoundly weird and am not afraid to show it. I dance badly in public, sing at the top of my lungs whenever I can; I run around the rain, jump into puddles just because I can. I love thunderstorms and the rain, mild and cool days. I sleep with a stuffed animal named Ice Bat. He's an Ugly Doll and keeps my dreams as weird as my waking hours, if not weirder. I'm a nerd and proud to be one.

I used to write fanfiction more than I do now, but I’m more focused on my original stuff now, since that will eventually be my career. I don’t plan on giving up fanfiction totally, and I do want to finish what I have posted, but there will no longer be speedy updates. I believe fanfiction will become more of a stress relief thing. We’ll see.

These are the fics that will most likely get done at some point:

Behind the Shadow (working title, Batman Begins/The Dark Knight/The Dark Knight Rises) -a fanfiction for The Dark Knight Rises. Obviously, this will not be written until after the movie comes out. It’s the sequel to Superhero’s Confidante (no, don’t read it!) and Chances Are (yeah, you can read that one), and it, like The Dark Knight Rises will be the last movie, will be the final fic in the Nolan-verse. Like the movies, it's liable to be sad and depressing and dark. It does not have a happy ending. How do I know that? Because I know how it's going to end, silly. I don't care if Warner Brothers makes a million more Batman movies set in the same 'verse. It won't be the same without the Chris-es and this fic ends with the genius.
The Beginning is the End (Star Trek '09)- the sequel to Ain't No Rest for the Wicked. Bulletproof Skin and Intermission are ficlets that come between the two main fics. This one will be full of growth, of explanations, of violence and aliens. Kirk and Alianna will go through lots of drama while Sindari and Bones discover how to be happy in the middle of everything. Should be fun times. I'm excited to write this one. I miss writing Star Trek.
Buried in Oblivion (Star Trek '09)- the sequel to The Beginning is the End. It’ll be the last in my Star Trek series. For now. Once the new movie comes out in 2013 (or whenever), all bets are off. This one is based on a dream I had. It involves kidnapping, prison, escaping from said prison, more relationship drama (c'mon, Kirk can't have a normal relationship and Ali is so damaged already) and a desperate struggle for freedom and familiar space. There will be lots of random characters who will likely end up being redshirts, so this'll be fun.

I may do more Mass Effect, Doctor Who, Batman, Assassin’s Creed, and X-Men as well. Just depends if I can find the inspiration and the time.
