Author has written 3 stories for Labyrinth, and Phantom of the Opera.

Where to begin? After freeing myself (again) from the quagmire known as academia, I find myself with an abundance of free time and an urge to write. I haven't done any creative writing in close to six years. So, please bear with me as I try to ease out of academic writing to be more creative and descriptive. Usually I gravitated towards original stories, but lately, I've found myself dabbling in fanfiction (Labyrinth and Phantom of the Opera specifically).

I will do my best to update whenever possible (usually Sundays). However, I warn you now - I nitpick and edit my writing constantly when I have the time. Two of the three plots are outlined with definite endings. It will simply be a matter of corralling the plot bunnies for the last one and writing everything.

Comments and reviews are welcomed. Constructive critiques are always appreciated. Lurkers who never say a peep, I tip my hat to you in silent greeting.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy what you find. Happy reading!

Update 03/16/14

Goodness gracious, talk about a rabbit hole of work, holidays, friends, and general laziness. Let's see if I can wrangle these stories back onto a normal schedule of some kind. Thanks to everyone has favorited, followed, commented, and / or stuck it out over the past few months waiting for updates!
