If you like my fanfiction, you might enjoy my original fiction. Take a peek over here... http://www.fictionpress.com/gkkstitch1

I'm the kid who has this habit of dreaming
Sometimes gets me in trouble too
But the truth is I could no more stop dreaming
Than I could make them all come true
"The Kid" by Cry Cry Cry

I've dabbled in fandom and fanfiction since 1988 when my "gateway drug" was the TV series, "Beauty and the Beast", but looking back I know I've been "a fan" since I was a kid. Loved "Get Smart." Loved "Star Trek." Loved "M.A.S.H." Oh, and absolutely adored Timothy Dalton's version of "Jane Eyre" which led directly to my addiction to all things Austen, and anything Shakespeare with Kenneth Branagh. Latest "love" has been "Twilight", and before that, it was "Harry Potter" (only the written version, not the movies) So maybe we have something in common, or maybe you're just curious to see what a nutter like me has to say.

I will say one thing in case there is any question: I WRITE CANON and AU based on canon! I'm true to the canon relationships. I may write some Alternate Universe (AU) stories, but they are still very canon in nature.

Outside of fandom, I'm a mac-unix consultant and am a water advisory commissioner for my township. My husband and I are musicians and started an instrumental music endowment for K-12 public schools. I also create websites for charities and non-profits.
