As of January 2020, I have published over 3 million words here on ! That's not something I could have imagined when I started all this, and I'm deeply grateful to each and every person who has taken an interest in my work. Your encouragement and support and enthusiasm and advice and suggestions all make this experience the thrill that it is. Happy reading!

Much of what I have posted was rigorously betaed by WellspringCD, Oleander's One, or suilven. All are tremendously talented authors - do yourself a favor and go check out their stories!

"... an hour ago there had been no poems, and now they came like rain and were real ..." A.S. Byatt, Possession

"For each of us, when our day's work is done, must seek our ideal, whether it be love or pinochle or lobster a la Newburg, or the sweet silence of the musty bookshelves." O. Henry, "The Social Triangle"

"There is never enough time for writing; it is a parallel universe where the days, inconveniently, are also twenty-four hours. Every moment spent in one's real life is a moment missed in one's writing life, and vice versa." Gish Jen

"If there is a book you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it." Toni Morrison

General disclaimer: These are works of fanfiction. I do not own the characters and settings in the stories below; I make no attempt to profit from them.

Note: "Their Place in This World" and "Unforgettable" haven't been abandoned, just slowed down significantly. I will be updating them when I can.
