IN MEMORIAM: Heath Ledger (4/1971-1/22/2008) Michael Jackson, King of Pop (1958-6/25/09)

Hi there my writer friends,

OMG!!...I've been Jokerized... See my avatar? My staff at the veterinary hospital I work in thought that it would be very funny if I could have a picture of what I would like if I fell on a vat of chemicals and had a murderous sense of humor to match so they did a digital manip of my face. It still looks a lot like the real me...

Name: Isabel

Age: I'm older than dirt. Don't ask me how old I am, I'm gonna have to kill you...

Living in: Somewhere between yesterday and tomorrow, more towards here and there.

Mental disease: I'm don't suffer from insanity, but I'm a carrier. I'm obsessed with villains. I love them all and specially THE CLOWN PRINCE OF CRIME...even have a pet named Joker so yes it's very serious and incurable.

A Piece of my Mind: I consider myself very openmined person and I don't like to discriminate so don't care who you are or where you're from, as ong as you have a brain, we can talk. I love to talk about everything and anything, and if I can learn something from you please teach me, but please respect my views which can some times be unorthodox, and speak in a clear, respectfull way. Especially...Wear your brain when you talk...I promise to wear mine when I listen.

And talking about Psychoses: My obsession with the Joker has gone to the extreme. Yes, I know...I should have talked to my psyciatrist, but how do you talk to a dea--ehem, what I mean to say is that it is too late. I had to let it all go out to the public or I was going to murder someone...there I go again. Could not hold my murderous hero in the shadows of anonymity anymore, so I built him a shrine...ehem, HEH, HEH...I mean a site. Yes! Joker now has a new domain to call his own. It is a castle for everything Joker...in comics, in art, in film, in books. You name it, and it's open to the public to enjoy.

4. Movies and TV: Movie horder...any genre.

5. Literature: I love Sci-Fi, Fantasy and True crime, and historic fiction. Also love comic inspired fiction owning quite some books on the subject.

6. Writing: What can I say...? I'm in love with the craft...NO! IM OBSESSED. I love writing and have a few real fiction works simmering on the pot and the fanficion you see here. Let me intro you to some of them:

Path of the Jester: Inner Demons (50 chapters, complete)

It is my first real attempt on serious storytelling, and though I know it's full of mistakes, it has a special place in my heart because its my first experiment. It focuses in Joker more than any other character because I wanted to explore a little bit of his insanity/sanity issues, so you will see a lot of Joker while other characters kind of come and go. I think his insanity its kind of unexplored territory since everybody portrays him just as a loony clown and forget that he is a three dimensional character that needs some credibility. I think he could be more than a clown. Thanks to all that followed till the very end. I hope you enjoyed it reading it as much as I did writing it.

Jester 2.0: Comedy Override (8 of ?? chapters in print, in progress)

This is the sequel to Path of the Jester and I promise to make it much more fast paced and entertaining that I did my first try. There is so much I have learned in this two years, I think I can do a little better next time around. Let me know if you like it, and It is in temporary hiatus until I can find a new beta.

Joker's Playmate (39 of ?? chapters in print, in progress)

This one resulted from a dare and culminated in fun and teasing...SLASH! Yep. I had to set aside my biases and prejudices and just write a good story. For this one I had to tweak continuity and some of the canon so don't flame me because the characters are too OOC. It's my view that it had to be done, because there is no other way in which I think I could have make this pairing convincing enough. My apologies for those of you that really like your literature following the standard canon, but I feel that as a writer, I can play with the characters a little, without harming their natures too much. I still tried to stay true to their natures as much as I could.

Playmate... It's about characters, so if you are searching for cheap sex and pornography...search somewhere else. This story is a journey where the protagonists will go through transformations that might not be suitable for everyone. Both worlds, Batman and Joker's, spiral down for the discovery of that which will make them come together. It will include laughs, tears, blood, gore and sex intermingled in (I Hope) a good storyline.

I would like to end by asking forgiveness to those out there who really write this genre well, the founding fathers if you may, Please, excuse the burps, the coughs, the blunders...this is just an experiment. Don't burn me for trying to be original. I'm doing my best to deliver a good story, and writing for me is still a learning process. And if the story ever becomes an insult to the genre, my apologies as well, because if I don't deliver it is only me to blame. One word for those following Playmate...It's not abandoned. My apologies for the tardiness of the postings, but life happens even to writers and I have a real live to attend to for now (Read my Writer's Intermission Chapter) I am slowly working in new chapters that will see the light soon, so please bear with me. Thanks!

Spark of Genius, My Muse Has a Twisted Sense of Humor and Happy Birthday to Me ( 3 Chapters, Complete)

Are kind of related. They both show two vignettes on the life of Joker after he escapes from the Asylum and goes in a crime spree. They were conceived as humorous pieces, just to make you laugh with the rants of a psycho who thinks he's funny (and sometime he is) but they can get a little dark at times. Hope you liked them.

Joker vs the World (2 of 3 chapter in print, in progress)

In this one I crossed the line to total insanity...and imagined a world where Joker has realized he is a character in Comics and literature, but he doesn't like the way either he or his Batman has been treated, . So what does a sensible man do...? Sue the writers and artists that have wronged you, of course. Now to convince a certain Bat to join on the law suit. WARNING: I'm making fun of everything and everyone in the world that has ever dealt with the Joker, including me...and I can be a mean you know what. I'm my own worst enemy...just so you know what to expect.

I would love to get to know as many of you in this writing community as I can and I'm doing it slowly through your stories. Keep writing, and Best wishes to all. I have a Facebook account that you can use to reach me if you want. It is as follows: www.facebook.com/#!/isabel.gonzalez.3998
