I'm a 20 something girl from the US ... Maine to be exact. I've been writing stories ever since I was in High School, but this is the first time I have actually published them anywhere for other people outside of my friends to read. I first found out about Thunderbirds when the movie in 2004 came out. Yes, I have only seen the movie and not the tv show, but I hope to soon rectify that situation. My favorite son is John, and my favorite Thunderbird is a toss up between Two and Five.

Thunderbirds Are Go! The Next Generation: I can't even say when I got the idea for this story, it just seemed to pop into my head one day. After reading all the amazing stories on here, I finally decided to give it a go and publish it. I'm happy to say that I have gotten some awesome reviews on it, and so I plan on continuing ahead. It is as much an adventure for me, as for the people reading it.

That being said, I am going to post here some additional information that I think might come in handy when reading it. According to information that I have found, the series took place in 2065. I have jumped ahead a few years, and all the flashbacks take place in 2068, as well as the rest of the story taking place 25 years later in the year 2093.

Tracy Untitled: Not sure where this story has come from. I got the idea one night, and I've been going from there. It is a WIP that i hope you are enjoying!

As you can see yes, I have changed my author name. Raina McCallen is my username on SecondLife. If anyone is on there, don't hesitate to message me on there!

I found this while perusing the profile page of another author, and I had repost this:

I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.
I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.
I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.
We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.
I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.
I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.
I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again.
I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.
We are the couple who had the Realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.
I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.
I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.
I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.
I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.
I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.
I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.
I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.
I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I did not have to always deal with society hating me.
I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.
I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.
I am the person who is afraid of telling his loving Christian parents he loves another male.

Emotion, yet peace.
Ignorance, yet knowledge.
Passion, yet serenity.
Chaos, yet harmony.
Death, yet the Force.

There is no emotion, there is peace.
There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.
There is no passion, there is serenity.
There is no chaos, there is harmony.
There is no death, there is the Force.

Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
The Force shall set me free.
