 Author has written 21 stories for Thunderbirds, and Captain Harlock. Pollywantsa ... a ... a bit of everything, actually...! Welcome to the profile... although unfortunately you won't find anything of interest on it, except to say that I must enjoy writing, because even when it looks like I have lost the plot or given up on the whole writing fanfiction thing altogether, I always seem to find my way back to it. And yeah, I know I have some unfinished stories and I am very apologetic about that. I don't do it on purpose and I always have the bestest of intentions, it's just that maybe somebody needs to poke me with a stick now and then... :-) In the meantime, please don't give up on those stories just yet -- I haven't!! |

No Fiend in Hell by Helen1969 reviews
A little vignette! Once again the shade of the previous captain of the Arcadia makes an unscheduled appearance, and as ever, demonstrates an unerring and some would suggest quite deliberate lack of sensitivity regarding his past actions.
