Welcome to my world, a land of fantasy, fairy tales and some darn goodlooking men! I'm a student with a penchant for writing and a love for the written word. My forte is fairy tales, though I dabble in Disney as well.

I'm currently working on two stories. The first is the third in a series. This particular installment is called Dogskin and chronicles the retold fairy tale of Charles Perrault's Donkeyskin. The previous two installments looked at Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid respectively. I recommend beginning with them, though the first half of The Rose of a Beast (the B&tB) story is badly in need of a rewrite, which is only fair as it was born over five years ago. My God, it's been a while. So I apologize for the poor quality of some of the writing.

The second story is called Learning to Love. It is an attempt to do something about the dearth of gender-flopped Disney's Beauty and the Beast stories that actually take into account what that difference in gender might mean. In the process, I hope to introduce some lovely new characters and retell the tale as old as time in a way that makes one appreciate both the beauty of the old and the uniqueness of the new. Also, I hope to come up with a better summary for it than what I have, but one goal at a time is enough.

If you're bored (or even if you have way too much to do, like me), I highly recommend checking out the following site - http:///bittersweet_strange/index.php?act=idx . It is the most fun I've had in ages. Keep your eyes peeled for the RP especially, it's not to be missed.

And so, strange traveler who has sailed the seas of the internet and stumbled upon this small island of ideas, I wish you well and beg that you stay a while, refresh yourself and read some of my work. If all else fails, you can analyze my fondness for names that begin with G, A and J.

Fare thee well,
