Fanfic is my way of stimulating my creativity to write my own fiction. We have a fickle relationship wherein I will write it for weeks and then abandon it for months. So hopefully I'll only be posting complete stories so I won't make anyone wait.

And that creative stimulation means that I love a crossover challenge. I've written several chapters of a Firefly/Stargate Atlantis crossover, and I'm working on a Firefly/Escaflowne crossover. It's not as strange as it sounds, because let's be honest, River Tam and Celena Schezar would be the best of friends...with swords and ballet. Speaking of bffs, I'm also sure that Josh Lyman and Rodney McKay would hit it off - I mean, two MENSA men bonding over blondes? I can see it. My longer projects include a Lost/Angel/Bones crossover that needs a bit of research yet, and a Roswell crossover that begins with a roadtrip and ends up everywhere - Smallville, KS, Cheyenne Mountain, WY, and maybe New York, NY, back when it was only named twice.

I've written fic for Firefly, Bones, Angel, Escaflowne, Stargate Atlantis, Doctor Who, Harry Potter, and my new obsession du jour, West Wing.

I'm trying to give you the caliber of creativity and writing style I would like to read myself - so reviewing my work is not just about the plot, but the writing style; and critiquing goes beyond this and into the thought process pool of my standard fiction. Please be constructive.

Everything you will find here is obviously written using characters and settings that are not originally my own.

Since despite all the above, I am new at this, try to be gentle with me.

(05/20/09) Notice: I am still working on "Take My Hand", my HP Sev/Lily AU. However, I am without internet and hit a bit of a wall. The ending has been written since the beginning, I just need to work out the kinks. Also, rereading it months later, there are a lot of things I am not happy with, so it will be rewritten in a few places. I pondered deleting the whole thing, but then that would also delete all the wonderful constructive criticism and encouragement from those of you who have been reading it. Basically my intent is to finish it, edit it, and post all the new stuff and edited chapters at once so there will be no more lapses. It's coming, even though it's taking its sweet sweet time. Bear with me!
