PENNAME CHANGE

Just a reminder to anyone who might just be stumbling upon my profile. TheWickedQuill was once jracklesfan77 (thanfully no longer,) just FYI.

BTW, I'm also known on various sites and boards as Shay, as well as by untold_story on LiveJournal. So, yes, we are one and the same and no, none of 'us' is running off with the other's work and credit :D Thank you for your concern - I love you all.

BARE BONES BIO

I am a 32 year old married (female) homemaker. Sadly, medical issues make me unemployable at present but I'm making the most of my life and try to stay positive!

I am American born but currently reside in the UK.

I hope to enroll in a focused writing course (some time after the summer) and I hope that this will help me improve as a writer and exercize my mind - it could really use a workout :) I would love to expand my writing from (amateur) poetry and fanfiction to short stories, novels or children's books. I'm not picky; I just enjoy writing and am always happy to entertain others with my words.

So you already know that I like to write, but I also enjoy reading. I'm a fan of thrillers, mysteries and spy novels but I read all sorts (mainly fiction but not always) and will always take other people's recommendations on board and check them out. I enjoy cooking and baking but I absolutely detest the cleanup! I love music of all genres and time periods. I enjoy films and stand-up comedy, though while I like humor and romance, I tend to gravitate towards action, suspense, thrillers and horror.

I also tend to be a rather unsociable person. I am not particularly quiet, but I often like being alone or just enjoying the silence and solitude. But it's nice to know that there is excitement and noise to be had if I want to take part :D

I like meeting new people. Yes, that was a hint!

I've been writing fan fic for Dark Angel since 2003. I've dabbled a bit in Gilmore Girls (I don't expcect to go any further with that one) and Supernatural; I hope to get more into the SN fandom in the near future.

I am the founder of and a co-administrator on the Dark Angel fan fiction archive, Raising Hell. The archive accepts all pairings and all genres and we are always looking for new and old talent. Yes, yes! Another hint! :D

The RH admin team is also in the process of setting up a more comprehensive DA site for the fans of the show and books. Due to launch on July the 5th, 2009, Raisinghellions.com will be home to Dark Angel source materials, discussions, articles, fan columns and other such goodies, as well as link fans to a wider network - a DA wiki, author interactive forums and the RH archive, LJ and DW communities. Our raisinghell_lj (@ LiveJournal) site is also a spot for info and weekly recaps as far as the happenings in the RH family go, so why not check that for the time being? ~laughs~ Shameless pimping, perhaps, but we really are a friendly bunch, so come check us out!

But I digress... (fun, isn't it?)

Other fandoms I enjoy (include but are not limited to): Alias, Gilmore Girls, Harry Potter, One Tree Hill and Supernatural. Occasionally I'll dip into the Star Wars and Terminator/SCC pools as well as a spattering of others based on books and TV. (More leaning towards Sci-Fi than anything.)

THANK YOUs

A shout of thanks to all my loyal readers and friends who have been understanding and caring, especially during the recent past when I suffered through close to three years of medical issues and other RL problems that kept me from one of my favorite pass-times - writing fan fiction.

Your encouragement and support has kept me going. Thank you for being here for me. I hope that I can get back into full swing and make up for my absence and the delays.

UPDATES

Now that the medical issues have died to a dull roar and my muse has come back home to play (I think her exotic lover kicked her out and she was just desperate) I am pleased to announce that I have actively begun updating my WIPs and hope to have a few updates posted in the very near future. Thank you all for bearing with me and being so supportive; your good wishes, kind comments and endless patience are greatly appreciated.

Stories I expect to continue updating shortly (hopefully regularly) are:
#Deceptions
#Chaos
#The Escort (with Wildsky)

Stories I plan to complete in the next couple of months, if all goes to plan:
#Deceptions
#Dark Obsession

A Story I hope will make a comeback but whose future is still uncertain:
#Citrine - Which, if picked up again, will be renamed 'Beneath My Skin' and undergo a rather large overhaul of future plot and ending, though current chapters will only experience minor edits.

Stories that will NOT be completed or renewed - so please do not ask!::
#Our Life
#It's Getting Hot in Here
#Journey to Awakening.

FUTURE PROJECTS

I don't have actual plans to begin many (if any!) new ficts for Dark Angel, but as I am still active within the fandom in the capacity of a site and archive admin, I still come out with the occasional story - drabble, ficlets, oneshots, etc.

As such, it has become a rare occurrence for me to write (or develop plots for) stories that are more than one chapter long. That said, I do have a few ideas on the back burner that, muse-willing, I may yet begin/continue/complete and post. The following are a few of those possibilities:

#Colors Change In the Valley Skies - an Alec centric fic with supporting cast consisting of Logan and Lydecker, both in positive roles. It's a story of trust and acceptance and the lengths to which one will go to protect those they love. Warnings: slightly dark and angsty.

#Unhinged - Max centic, non-shipper. Max has reason to believe that Ben is back, but no one believes her.

#Walk the Long Road - in which Max doesn't exile Zack to the farm following his attempts to kill Logan.

That's about all for now, folks! ~MWAH~
