Author has written 50 stories for Charmed, and House, M.D.. Defining Characteristics: 1. I'm a bibliophile, and as such, have a highly developed vocabulary (I love learning words no one ever uses) and am a veritable font of trivia. In Real Life, I am never found without a book on my person, and suspect I would experience withdrawal symptoms if I didn't carry one. 2. In writing (my own and others'), I insist on correct spelling, punctuation, grammar, and of course, doing the research. This is a manifestation of my inner perfectionist. 3. I write extensively, usually fan fiction or poetry. My fandom beginnings are in Harry Potter, but I've lately begun to delve into the worlds of House M.D., Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Charmed (not necessarily in that order of obsession/priority). 4. I majored in English, made an abortive attempt at a minor in elementary education, and am currently deciding whether to pursue an MFA in creative writing or a Masters in English literature. I still cherish dreams of a writing career. 5. I'm an unashamed feminist (though not misandristic), a liberal, and a strong believer in environmental conservation and gender equality. 6. My religious background is Judeo-Christian, but I've self-identified as Wiccan since my late teens and remain a solitary practitioner (eclectic with Dianic leanings and identification with the Greek and Roman pantheons). 7. My sense of humor tends toward the cynical, but actually, I'm a pragmatist with an idealistic streak. 8. I can be extremely stubborn (i.e., to the point of obstinacy), and cling to my convictions with the proverbial death-grip. 9. I suffer neither fools nor blind followers. 10. I am not afraid to be different. Favorite Quotes: "This most of all: ask yourself in the most silent hour of your night: must I write? Dig into yourself for a deep answer. And if this answer rings out in assent, if you meet this solemn question with a strong, simple "I must," then build your life in accordance with this necessity; your whole life, even into its humblest and most indifferent hour, must become a sign and witness to this impulse." —Rainer Maria Rilke, "Letters to a Young Poet." "Things need not have happened to be true. Tales and dreams are the shadow-truths that will endure when mere facts are dust and ashes, and forgot." —Neil Gaiman, The Sandman: Dream Country. "People think that stories are shaped by people. In fact, it's the other way around. Stories exist independently of their players. If you know that, the knowledge is power." —Terry Pratchett, Witches Abroad. "There is only one right form for a story and if you fail to find that form the story will not tell itself." —Mark Twain "The written word is all that stands between memory and oblivion. Without books as our anchors, we are cast adrift, neither teaching nor learning. They are windows on the past, mirrors on the present, and prisms reflecting all possible futures. Books are lighthouses erected in the dark sea of time." —Gargoyles, "A Lighthouse on the Sea of Time." "Sing in me, Muse, and through me, tell the story…" —Homer, The Odyssey. "One can't believe impossible things." "It is only the gay and innocent and heartless who can fly." —J. M. Barrie, Peter Pan. "Nearby is the country they call life./ You will know it by its seriousness." —Rainer Maria Rilke "If we surrendered/ To earth's intelligence/ We could rise up rooted, like trees." —Rainer Maria Rilke "Every sorceress is/ A pragmatist at heart; nobody sees essence who can't/ Face limitation." —Louise Gluck, "Circe's Power." "When they ask to see your gods/ your book of prayers/ show them lines/ drawn delicately with veins/ on the underside of a bird’s wing/ tell them you believe/ in giant sycamores mottled/ and stark against a winter sky/ and in nights so frozen/ stars crack open spilling/ streams of molten ice to earth/ and tell them how you drink/ a holy wine of honeysuckle/ on a warm spring day/ and of the softness/ of your mother/ who never taught you/ death was life’s reward/ but who believed in the earth/ and the sun/ and a million, million light years/ of being." —J. L. Stanley, "Catechism for a Witch's Child." "Hide it/ Just between the tart skin and sweet flesh/ Of an apple/ Make it / Forbidden/ Make it/ Delicious/ Then let the children/ Bite." —Esmé Raji Codell, "How to Teach Learning." "I know. But I do not approve. And I am not resigned." —Edna St. Vincent Millay, "Dirge Without Music." "Fire shadows on the wall,/ A hand rises, falls, as steady as a heartbeat,/ Threading the strands of life./ This is the warp thread, this the woof,/ This the hero-line, this the fool./ Needle and scissors, scissors and pins,/ Where one life ends, another begins." —Jane Yolen, "The Fates." Note to TRD readers: It's been too long since I've updated "Two Roads Diverged," but I'm not calling it 'abandoned.' It's the work of over two years and 197 pages, and I can't in good conscience invalidate that with a simple, "No more." My narrative voice has evolved since the 28 chapters you've read were posted; I need to go back, polish those chapters, and bring them into alignment with the writer I am now before I can go forward. I probably won't write novel-length S6 and S7 reworks: much of my passion for Charmed fled in disgust from the travesty that was its final season. I will, however, eventually bring TRD to a close, and I may dabble in the fandom with shorter projects. | |||||||
