Joined Oct 25, 2012, id: 4326261, Profile Updated: Mar 30, 2017
Author has written 48 stories for Pride and Prejudice, Misc. Plays/Musicals, Downton Abbey, StarTrek: The Next Generation, StarTrek: Voyager, Princess Diaries, and Cranford.

I discovered fanfiction.net in 2012 and have enjoyed reading all the wonderful stories published here. I have favorites in all sorts of fandoms.

As you can see, I've written quite a lot for Downton Abbey, which is currently my main fandom (Chelsie forever!). The Pride & Prejudice story that is incomplete WILL BE FINISHED. It's just that my Downton Abbey obsession has eaten up most of my fanfic energy. No promises on how long it will take, but I promise to complete it.

I've also recently become especially obsessed with The Princess Diaries (Clarisse/Joe) and have also written a little for Star Trek: The Next Generation (Picard/Crusher), Cranford (Galindo/Carter), and Star Trek: Voyager.

Thanks for reading!

Night Moments by CeeCeeSings reviews
Chelsie-centric, period set, mostly in-canon "missing moments" fic, starting in 1920 (S3), with a little twist: all events, conversations, and activities (AHEM) take place between the hours of midnight and four a.m. Expect later chapters to bump this to an "M" rating, for obvious reasons. A loose companion piece to A History of Moments.
