Hi, I'm Michelle, and I'm a lesbian wannabe-Buddhist with chocoholic tendencies. I enjoy dancing on the beach, daydreaming, and pressing the snooze button in the morning. I've been a sci-fi geek since birth and a shipper since before I knew the meaning of the word. My middle name is a character from "Star Trek: The Motion Picture", I think Amanda Tapping has the most adorable smile in all of creation, and the sight of the stars makes me dream. I'm currently working towards a Bachelor's degree in screenwriting. :)

"I don't believe in writer's block. I believe in writer's embarrassment. That's when you're so embarrassed by the horrendous drivel you're writing that you can't bear to see it on the page. After all, you can always write something. I've discovered that giving yourself permission to write poorly is the gateway to writing well. It may not be good, it may not make sense, but that's okay. After enough pages of meaningless drivel, your brain will uncover something interesting, and before you know it, you're off and writing again." - Richard Castle

I also edit shippy fan videos - my Youtube username is MissRainbowPie.

My first two loves: Stargate SG-1 and The X-Files - I grew up watching these shows, so they will always hold a very special place in my heart.

Current obsessions: 24 and Tony/Michelle

Other shows I love: Castle, Doctor Who, Farscape, Law & Order: SVU, Sherlock, Star Trek (all of them), and everything in the Whedonverse

My Top Five Ships:

1. Jack O'Neill & Sam Carter (Stargate SG-1)
"I didn't leave because I'd have rather died myself than lose Carter." "Why?" "Because I care about her... a lot more than I'm supposed to."
-- Divide and Conquer, 4x05

2. Tony Almeida & Michelle Dessler (24)
"No matter what, I just want you to know... The last three years have been the best years of my life."
-- 06:00 a.m.-07:00 a.m., 3x18

3. Fox Mulder & Dana Scully (The X-Files)
"Even when the world was falling apart, you were my constant... My touchstone." "And you are mine."
-- The Sixth Extinction II: Amor Fati, 7x02

4. Richard Castle & Kate Beckett (Castle)
"Every morning I bring you a cup of coffee just so I can see a smile on your face because I think you are the most remarkable, maddening, challenging, frustrating person I have ever met."
-- Always, 4x23

5. Clark Kent & Lois Lane (Smallville)
"You made me believe and you got me to fly."
-- Collateral, 10x12

In-progress stories:

The Little Girl and the Renegade
-- A collection of short Caskett one-shots inspired by the words of the day at dictionary dot com.
-- Castle, K-T, Romance/Friendship, as many chapters as I feel like writing, Castle/Beckett
-- I haven't really been working on these lately, but I might continue writing them at some point.

New stories:

NOTE - If you have a story request, feel free to send it to me. I can't guarantee that I'll have time to write it, but I'm definitely willing to try!

The Moebius Project
--Tony escapes from custody to help some old friends steal the prototype of a highly classified device. When he discovers what the device does, he finds a way to save Michelle... and himself. Post-S7.
-- 24, T, Sci-Fi/Angst/Romance, 24 chapters, Tony/Michelle
-- I've been working on this for over a year and it's probably going to be another year before I get it posted, but I assure you that it's worth the wait. The ultimate fix-it fic... This one is my masterpiece.

Moebius Strips
-- A series of Tony/Michelle one-shots. A companion to "The Moebius Project". Chapter 1: Tony and Michelle visit Michelle's grandmother in Hawaii.
-- 24, T, Romance/Friendship, as many chapters as I feel like writing, Tony/Michelle
-- These one-shots are a more in-depth look at some of Tony's memories of Michelle from "The Moebius Project".

Pen Name: "Oh baby, I'm beating out a samba!" -- David Tennant as Lady Cassandra in the Doctor Who episode "New Earth" -- One of my all-time favorite television scenes. :)
