I have been away from this site for several years now. I have not been reading any fanfiction or writing, and some people have wanted to use my story plots for their own ideas. I do not give permission to use my story plots. Please do not try to pressure or guilt me into giving my permission to use or modify my stories. I’m tired of being harrassed.

No matter what happens in my life, I am grateful for the journey. I thank you for reading, and I can assure you that, even though I may not be writing stories for them, the characters will always be in my heart, and so are your words of encouragement. The days when I was at my lowest these past years were made a little better when I came back and looked at the reviews left on my stories. I may not be able to accomplish much with my life, but I'm grateful that I have touched a few people emotionally, and offered some entertainment.

I am well aware that my stories have some characterization flaws. Now that I've become more familiar with the comic book version of Scrooge McDuck, Donald Duck, and the triplets, my characterization of them is driving me nuts! Yeesh. I can hardly stand to read my own work. Unfortunately, I will not be able to update any of the stories I've posted.

Please note that the date my stories were posted here does not necessarily reflect the month or even the year that some of them were written in. My first three Balto stories were written between 2004 and 2007, for example, and my oldest Darkwing Duck stories ("The Villains Revolt," "My Daughter, My Life," "Neighborly Secrets," and "Until Proven Innocent") were written during nights when I was plagued with insomnia or depression. Excuses do not excuse poor writing, but it is difficult for me to proofread material written during those times as it brings back memories I do not care to relive. I am not writing any more Balto or Chronicles of Narnia stories. I apologize if you are following me in hopes of seeing more of those. I still love both properties but the only fandom I am actively following and participating in is the Disney duck verse.

Thank you for stopping by and best of wishes. :)

Copyrights:

ALL of the canon characters and settings unless otherwise noted belong to Disney, Amblin/Universal, or Walden. I make no profit. I fully respect these companies and their work and I have no problem with rewriting my stories by removing all copyrighted material from them and coming up with my own character names and personalities and such. (I've already done so with two of the stories posted here.)

Please note that, although I reference specific episodes or printed articles on the characters/settings, the purpose of my work is NOT to replace or slow public sales of the originals. I pick up where the original works leave off and create new situations for the characters to face. I'm just an enthusiastic fan.

My purpose for writing is to educate the public on the original copyrighted works, and build/expand the fan base for the original copyright holders. Also, while I understand this does not give me permission to use the copyrighted material, I have personally purchased legal copies of the DVDS, soundtracks, comics, etc. from stores for private viewing at home. If you would like for me to make any changes, including deleting material from my work, send me a private message and I will cooperate fully and refrain from future infringement.

Author's Disclaimer:

I did not intentionally infringe on any users here and made a note of any author's work that specifically inspired me either in my story or in the Author notes or reference pages. Other authors' stories not noted may be similar to mine, but any relation is coincidence.

The stories, unnamed places, places not shown or mentioned in cartoon or comic form, and names given to previously unnamed characters, along with the new characters (ex: Dr. John Henry Harper, Scraps, Dr. Medley, Bushroot's hero guise "Nightshade", Pinescrub, Tuffguard, plus others) are my original ideas unless otherwise stated, copyrighted, or commonly accepted in the fandom. (I could not figure out who the original author was that coined the name "Troublemaker" for one of Negaduck's motorcycles, so I did not credit whoever coined the term but I do Not take credit for the name.)

"Mrs. Beaker" in "A Hero's Ultimatum" and "Jacob" from "The Duck Who Never Dawned" belong to BeecroftA and me.

I am the first person here on fanfiction.net to write a Darkwing crime novel with the cartoon character Phinease Sharp as the main villain. I put hours of time and effort into my research for that character, even buying and studying the movie Goldfinger for further insight and inspiration. If you have read my story "A Hero's Ultimatum" and written your own Fanfic based on it, I would appreciate it if you would make a note in your story that you were inspired by my fanfic. That's all. I don't take credit for the character, his talon logo trademark, his catchphrase, or mannerisms. Those belong to the Disney Company. I just took him a little further in my interpretation of him.

That is everything I can think of to mention. Phew! Thanks for stopping by!
