I'm Jo, by the way. I've been writing since I was nine years old, and recently, I realized two things. I cannot write summaries worth crap, and I'm obsessed with changing the past. I've been coming on here for as long as I can remember, reading fiction on my favorite tv shows, movies and books, and I always wanted to set up account. I guess this was the right time.

I love people who read my stories. And I love people who give me good advice concerning my stories. I'm not a stickler for handing out compliments either. I believe in positive reinforcement, so I like to get it too.

I'm a HUGE Supernatural fan, and so far, I loved Season 14. Ready for Season 15. I love Charmed, Smallville, Heroes, Roswell and Blood Ties. I've also become thoroughly obsessed with The Originals, Reign, Teen Wolf, Game of Thrones and Vikings.

My fandoms include but are not limited to: Marvel, THG, HP, all of the above mentioned, plus a lot of things I can't think of now. There could be potential stories in the future.

I'm a Leo, and I love my bed - for sleeping anyway, and it calls to me nightly. "Come to me!" Most nights, I oblige. Some nights, I simply sit in front of my computer and ponder.

Don't forget to tell me what you think of the stuff I post. There will be more.

Update 06/09/2014: This is going to make me sound really terrible, because I know I have stories that aren't finished, but until I can get caught up on some of my original stories, I'm only going to be updating one story at a time. The ones that haven't been updated in a while might not get updated for a long time, and for that, I apologize. I still plan on finishing those that are nearly finished, but what can I say? My fandoms are changing, as are my tastes in stories. Just message me if you have any questions about them.

Poems . . .

"Now Sleeps the Crimson Petal" is a poem written by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. It was first published in 1847, in The Princess: A Medley.

Now Sleeps the Crimson Petal

Now sleeps the crimson petal, now the white;

Nor waves the cypress in the palace walk;

Nor winks the gold fin in the porphyry font:

The firefly wakens: waken thou with me.

Now droops the milkwhite peacock like a ghost,

And like a ghost she glimmers on to me.

Now lies the Earth all Danaë to the stars,

And all thy heart lies open unto me.

Now slides the silent meteor on, and leaves

A shining furrow, as thy thoughts in me.

Now folds the lily all her sweetness up,

And slips into the bosom of the lake:

So fold thyself, my dearest, thou, and slip

Into my bosom and be lost in me.

The Charge of the Light Brigade

by Alfred Tennyson.

Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
"Forward the Light Brigade!
Charge for the guns!" he said.
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

Forward, the Light Brigade!"
Was there a man dismay'd?
Not tho' the soldier knew
Some one had blunder'd.
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die.
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of hell
Rode the six hundred.

Flash'd all their sabres bare,
Flash'd as they turn'd in air
Sabring the gunners there,
Charging an army, while
All the world wonder'd.
Plunged in the battery-smoke
Right thro' the line they broke;
Cossack and Russian
Reel'd from the sabre-stroke
Shatter'd and sunder'd.
Then they rode back, but not,
Not the six hundred.

Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon behind them
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
While horse and hero fell,
They that had fought so well
Came thro' the jaws of Death,
Back from the mouth of hell,
All that was left of them,
Left of six hundred.

When can their glory fade?
O the wild charge they made!
All the world wonder'd.
Honor the charge they made!
Honor the Light Brigade,
Noble six hundred!

A message about honor and courage.
