Author has written 19 stories for Arrow, Houdini and Doyle, Young Riders, Daredevil, Moonlight, Witcher, Scarecrow and Mrs. King, Hunger Games, Sanditon, Beauty and the Beast, 2012, Lucifer, and Timeless.

October 2023:

For the first time in the 8 years I have been using fanfiction.net, I am having technical troubles with it. Metrics and alerts have stopped working for me, and I'm guessing that I may have missed PMs as well. I can't read reviews. I can't even read the published versions of my own stories. For a couple of days I couldn't get to my documents, which was extremely upsetting because I have about 50K words for various stories stored here. Fortunately, I was able to get to them and download.

If you stop seeing updates it's because the site has failed on me completely. I have taken the steps fanfiction.net recommends regarding alerts and my email account and it has not fixed a damn thing. I'm working on an up-to-date operating system and browser (s), so I'm not sure what else to do. The mobile app works slightly better, but I can't write and edit on a mobile phone. I need a keyboard and a screen.

I also publish on Archive of Our Own (AO3), under BstnStrg13. So, if things fail completely here you can find my stories there.

Thanks. I appreciate so much all the folks who continue to read my stuff and apologies for not responding to reviews and PMs. I'm simply not getting them.


I'm a fan of fantasy, sci fi, mysteries, and period stuff, and I love a good crossover. I started writing fanfic in 2015 and have stories based on the television shows; Arrow, Beauty and the Beast, Lucifer, Daredevil, Houdini and Doyle, The Witcher and Sanditon. A bout of nostalgia also resulted in stories for The Young Riders, Scarecrow and Mrs. King and Moonlight (the TV show, not the movie). I learned SMK has an amazing fandom and hope to write more.

I'm one of a number of writers who teamed up for The Freelancer Collaboration's, When Blood Calls for Blood and Death is Not the End. WBCFB places 24 DC characters into a Hunger Games setting and DINTE deals with the revolution that follows the Games. Every writer on the team is great -- and it's probably the most fun I've had writing fic.

Happy reading, and thanks always to folks who take the time to comment, fav, follow or recommend my stories to others. It means a lot.
