About me: I've always loved writing, and fanfiction has been a great start at learning to follow through with a story. It's harder to just abandon a story when you have people wanting the next chapter :) I'm an average university student, living a pretty normal life. Nothing too exciting here, folks! .

FICS:-

Crimson Tide: A bit about the first Naruto story I wrote: Orochimaru and Anko are complex characters that I really enjoyed writing about. Their relationship is so multi-layered, and I was just drawn to it. Some people have written amazing stories about these characters, but I wish there was more. I was bitten by the story bug and here I am ... cough. I can't believe it, but I've finally finished my first real story. The rating is 'M' for good reason. I've been asked about a sequel, but can't see any coming. I'd need really good inspiration, and none has shown up as yet. Hopefully that'll change, but I'm moving on in the mean time. Thanks to all who supported me throughout the story! Every review counts. NEW: Black-Inque2002 has made an amazing artwork of Anko and Orochimaru - feel free to go to her profile and follow the links to her homepage on Deviantart or go to: http:///art/Oroanko-83451757 to check it out! It is really brilliant - thanks again XD

Addicted: This is my attempt at an original approach to the SesshxKag pairing from Inuyasha. They are such a popular pairing, and there are so many good stories about them, but I've given it a try. Naraku shows up alot - he's a really interesting villain. Also rated 'M' for language (Inuyasha, of course) and (not too detailed) adult situations. None of that too soon though - I took my time with getting the pairing together. Reviews really help, and I hope you enjoy reading it. I can't believe I've finished this one too! It was loads of fun, and thanks so much for all the great reviews.

Forever Yours: This is my first excursion away from the world of anime, and was completely inspired by the 'moment' Sylar and Claire had in that office. It gave me such chills! And of course gave me the hint of a story idea that just wouldn't go away. About 90 percent of this was written (or planned out in my head) about a week after that last episode, but it took me ages to stop tinkering with it. I'm not so good at one-shots - I always want more! But I hope you all enjoy and thanks for the comments - they are much appreciated :)

20/12/07: I've put up a new story, and though I'm sorry not to have done a sequel for my Naruto fic, I really love the SessKags pairing from Inuyasha so decided to try my hand at that. I'm a bit nervous to be honest - there are so many good stories with that pairing and the readers seem to expect a bit more so ... oh well. I'm going to try it out. Hope you enjoy!

25/04/08: Check out Black-Inque2002's fanart of Anko and Orochimaru for the fic Crimson Tide - link is above! :)

28/09/08: Another story over and done with ... wow. Some people can write hundreds of fics, but I just can't manage that with my schedule and my muse is temperamental. I'm sure it won't be long before you all hear from me again - I love writing and can't keep away too long. As soon as I get another crazy idea for one of the fandoms, I'll be back!

05/06/09: Don't worry - I'm still alive! Just working hard & waiting for real inspiration to hit. I'll be putting up a Heroes (SylarXClaire) oneshot sometime soon - as soon as I've finished editing it :)

28/12/09: I hope you all are enjoying the holidays! Its so great just to have some time to relax. I really really want to write another fic - in the Supernatural 'verse, I think - but I just can't get started properly until the season is over (because after every episode I change my plotline o.O So not conducive to real writing ...). I can't wait to see what the rest of this season has in store for us! I think Lucifer is so interesting (guilty grin). I've gotten a bit over Naruto, and I don't think I could write another decent SesshKags so Inuyasha is out. I'm really enjoying the other stories out there, so at the moment I'm reading rather than writing.

7/2/11: Wow, time flies ... Okay, so the SPN fic still isn't anywhere near done. I wrote a lot at one point, then abandoned it because RL is keeping me super-busy. Now the pretty (creepy) villians in Sherlock and Tron are luring me away ... I love a good villian :) Being a PhD student in the sciences is a full-time job - but its been treating me so well, so I can't complain. At least I'm finally a published author - if scientific journal articles count? ;)

15/7/12: I'm still around, but the end of my studies has been taking up all my time and I will never share a fic I can't/won't finish. But I've been reading fanfic on LJ and AO3 a lot these days. Such awesome stuff out there! I want to come back one day, because writing is still something I love to do. Thanks ffnet for the chance to share what I've done so far! And thanks to those people who read my old fics and still drop me a line to let me know what they thought :) You guys are fantastic!
