Favorite Quotes: "There's no such thing as autobiography; there's only art and lies."
"And there the Wicked Witch stayed for a good long time." - "And did she ever come out?" - "Not yet."
"Engage!"
"The man in black fled across the desert and the gunslinger followed."

I appreciate well-written, thoughtful fan fiction. I look for stories that demonstrate a grasp of the original characters and do not detract from the original book/show/source. I've only just decided to add to the fanfic universe and greatly appreciate the comments that I've received so far.

I am in search of a beta but have no idea how to go about finding one. I'm looking for someone who can point out style and character inconsistencies.

Don't Wish, Don't Start Wishing Only by ComingAndGoingByBubble reviews
Out Of Oz fanfiction. I found a quote from Wicked in it, and wrote this. Based on Rain's time with Lady Glinda. I took some liberties, so beware. Read and Review! One shot. Gelphie if you squint!

Aucune Defense Pour Toi by D. Geheimnis reviews
Fleur is not an expert in the ways of love, but in Hermione's final year with time running out, the learning curve is steep. Written, with permission, as a companion piece to Dreiser's "No Defense for You" in Fleur's POV. Please note: a slightly more updated version (less typos) lives on AO3. Any chance of a sequel will be posted there as well.

The Perils of Interior Decorating by spoowriterfic reviews
Another post-ep for "We Don't Need Another Hero." Jane notices a couple of additions Maura's made to her house. She is not pleased. A little goofier than most of my stories.

The Philosophy Club by Hitokiri Hobbit reviews
On a haphazard visit to a bar for "deviants," wealthy Catholic-school-girl Glinda sees a performance that will alter her life. Story is character-based, rather than world-based.

The Secret Diary of Bass Isles by TheFutilitarian reviews
