First off, I’m not very good at writing about myself. It’s important for you to know that straight away. And well, after reading some of my stories, you may decide that I’m not very good at writing about…anything. We shall see what we will see.

So, I have to be honest…I’m old. I mean, I think I’m older than your average fanfic author. I happened upon fanfic during Season 5 of Buffy: the Vampire Slayer, after Spike fell in love with Buffy. And, I really got into it during Season 6, after I gave birth to my daughter and was up half the night between feedings and changing diapers. When I started writing fanfic she was old enough to watch iCarly. I've been away from writing for a long time now, as that show is no longer airing new episodes. If you do the math, I’m in my mid-forties. (But, you know, I look at myself in the mirror, and I think of myself as no older than 37.) I assure you, I’m not creepy, and I’m not just one of those people that says things like that – I really believe it. Basically my situation is this: although married and a parent, I enjoy reading and writing…and living vicariously through the romantic and adventurous fictional lives of TV characters. Let’s face it - they’re attractive; they say cool things; and angst, dramedy, and sometimes-happy endings are fun.

About my writing style:I don’t try to describe settings in detail. I work full-time and am the part-time social secretary/personal assistant to my 17 year-old and 5 year-old; I can’t dilly-dally with all that. I’m more about the dialogue. My theory is: if you watch the show, and I tell you simply where the characters are, you should know what it looks like. I also don’t like to “introduce” established characters. Again, if you watch the show, you know who’s best friends or siblings with whom, what their last name is, and what they look like. I also don’t like having the characters ask themselves why they are doing things that are out of character for them (ie. I will never have a character ask himself why he’s having romantic feelings for another character that he’d otherwise not like for various reasons – no one does that in real life, so no one will do that in my fiction). Most importantly, I highly respect the English language. And, I try to retain character integrity. I gladly welcome constructive criticism in regards to grammar, writing style, and character portrayal. Help me help you enjoy my stories.
