Hello All!

I live in Texas, transplanted from Chicago, married, five cats, no children, one mortgage, lots of debt, part time student (yay I graduated), full time employee. I love writing and have a lot of fan fiction which I'll upload from time to time. I used to not post stuff until it was completed. These days I'm working on a bunch of different stuff but if you've been reading me for a while you'll notice I always finish my stories. I might be posting irregularly, it might go on for a year or more but eventually the stories will be finished. I can't stand it when these wonderful stories I get so hooked on just...don't get updated and they're abandoned without a word. So I promise I will never do that to all of you.

I've had some health issues and thanks to medication my writing really got...lost for a while. Different meds and a different job have helped me with that a lot and I'm finally back to writing. So I'm trying to get all of my WIP finished. It's not easy though, to pick up on something I haven't written in several years so bear with me. I've also started posting on AO3 under the same name and the series I've written are a little easier to follow over there because they're linked together.

Qualities include an eye for detail (sometimes we call it OCD), hopeless romantic, and voracious reader. Flaws...lack of html skills and lack of patience (with people). Could include lack of money in there but that's not a character flaw.

I build dollhouses on weekends to do something more physical than writing, usually for a contest through a miniature site. You're welcome to pop over to my blog and take a look. Shenandoah and Stuff at Blogspot

If you don't like what I'm writing, the solution is simple. Stop reading it. Everything I post is already completed so I'm not going to change the story because you're displeased with what I came up with. This is fanfiction. It's meant to be different than canon. I write for fun, because I love it and enjoy it. I know its the dream of many people to write and make a living at it. To write and love writing is enough for me. I have no desire to end up like Herman Melville. http:///letter3.htm - Dollars damn me.

Or, as Justin Matisse said in Hope Floats "You're talkin' 'bout the American Dream. You find something that you love, and then you twist it, and you torture it, try and find a way to make money at it. You spend a lifetime doing that. At the end, you can't find a trace of what you started out lovin'."

I hope you will enjoy my writing for what it is. An endeavor of love, the literal definition of amateur.

Here's a little something that I truly believe and love that I've been meaning to add for some time now.

The Storytellers Creed

I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge.
That myth is more potent than history.
That dreams are more powerful than facts.
That hope always triumphs over experience.
That laughter is the only cure for grief.
And I believe that love is stronger than death.

-Robert Fulghum

I hope that we all find love that is stronger than death.
