headrush100hide bio
 Author has written 18 stories for Castle, and Firefly. I'm a librarian and a longtime reader and writer of fanfic (34 years by the nearest reckoning!). I started out writing lots of Buffy the Vampire Slayer fic (my character of choice being Giles). I read in lots of fandoms, but at the moment am mainly concentrating on Castle and Firefly. 'Castle' propelled me back into fic writing after a very long break. As of October 2017, the best place to find my fic (including the kinky ones that are not posted on ) is on Archive of Our Own. You'll need to be logged in as a registered AO3 user to see some of them. Thanks for reading!! |
