evitascarletthide bio
 Author has written 44 stories for Gone with the Wind, Castle, and Gunsmoke. My name is Lucy. You can find me on Twitter @EvitaScarlett14 and on Tumblr evitascarlett14 I love to write and I love sharing my stories with the world and getting reactions from my readers; but with that said; I'd like to remind everyone of a saying that I learned when I was small. "If you don't have something nice to say, then don't say anything at all." I love getting reviews; but there are some people out there who like to use the review box as a form of harassment and as a way to belittle a person's work. This is supposed to be for fun; it's a hobby, and it's free, so let's keep things enjoyable, okay? If you don't like a story, then simply stop reading it, no one is forcing you to continue. Now I'll get off of my soapbox. I love Castle, Gunsmoke, and a ton of other shows. My favorite movie is Ever After; and if you've read any of my stories, you know I love music; all kinds of music. Some of my favorite books are Gone With the Wind; Stephanie Plum series, anything by Julia Quinn. If I had to choose one piece of my writing that I'm most proud of, it would be a story I wrote in the Castle fandom and it's called Apologize...not that I'm not proud of all of my stories; I am, but Apologize holds a special place in my heart. I send out a tweet anytime I update my stories; so if you're tired of missing alerts from the site; follow me on Twitter and you'll know as soon as a new chapter's been posted. Sometimes I even tweet little tidbits as I write ;) One last thing; at the moment I'm not taking any prompts for stories. I have several stories in the works and way too many ideas of my own. That could change one day in the future, but for now; my plate is full story wise. If you see my work being posted elsewhere, it doesn't have my permission, report it and please let me know. I don't co-write stories and I don't allow other people to post my work or translate it, so again, if you see it, report it and let me know. I get complaints at times about my update speed; I apologize that it sometimes takes me longer than some people (even myself) would like, but please keep in mind that fic writers have lives away from their computers; jobs, families, friends, ect that have to come first. Sometimes I roll out chapter after chapter, sometimes something gets in the way; I appreciate your patience. Castle Stories Johanna's Universe - Apologize (Story 1) Finished.
