Author has written 59 stories for Stargate: Atlantis, Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, and White Collar.

Here's a link to my LiveJournal: x-varda-x dot livejournal dot com

Check on there for your frequent fix of madness along with info on upcoming fics, insights into stories in progress/completed, icons/avatars etc etc. I post most of my stuff on LiveJournal these days, and links to my stories that are posted in other places.

I love Stargate Atlantis and especially the prickly, but rather endearing, Rodney McKay. I just love to: get under his skin, find out what makes him tick, rip him apart, break him down and then put him all back together again!

I'm now drifting away from SGA and into the shiny that is White Collar. New whumpee: Neal Caffrey!

Have fun!

For now the Kindler, Varda
The Queen of the Stars, from Mount Everwhite
Has uplifted her hands like clouds
And all paths are drowned deep in shadow
