Name: Loren

Location: Georgia

Fave Shows: Right now? Prodigal Son. I go through obsessions, you know? I think my first one was ER, then CSI, then SGA, Criminal Minds, Bones and now NCIS. Of course, I have miniature obsessions like NCIS, Heroes, Numb3rs, Jericho, and Scrubs, and finally, there's just the really good (and usually funny ones) I just enjoy watching. Everybody Loves Raymond, How I Met Your Mother, and the Big Bang Theory. There's probably loads more, but that's all I can think of.

Fave Characters: To name a few: Malcolm (Prodigal Son) Tim McGee (NCIS), Dr. Spencer Reid (Criminal Minds), Dr. Lance Sweets (Bones), Patrick Jane (Mentalist), Chuck (Chuck), Sheppard (SGA), Greg (CSI), Carter (ER), Tony (NCIS), Jake (Jericho)...

Little about me: Well, I'm currently 28 years old and again, I live in Georgia. I have worked at Walt Disney World, a sea turtle center, a movie theater and now I'm working in a federal prison. I love it.

Other than that, I love my family, my friends, I love my dogs, music (love music) and the Lord. That's really about it; me in a nut shell.

My Writing: Well, seeing as how I wrote my first stories at the age of like, 13 or 14(?), some are pretty bad. Heck, all of them might be really bad, but I know they are at least improving as I go. I'm learning the ropes from experience and from tons of talented writers I've come to know right here on and other places on the internet. Most of them lately from the SGA fandom (which is the best I've ever been a part of). So, I love all of them.

I'm a whumper, plain and simple. All of my stories have some quantity of whump or hurt/comfort, I should say. It's funny, when I first started writing, all my stories would focus on whump. Whump for whump's sake, really. But, as I've grown and matured, I've turned more so towards character insights and development. Not all of my latest ones, of course, but in many cases I think. I think I've come to appreciate these characters a little more. This is mostly centered around John Sheppard of SGA, but it did start with my very few Jericho fics. I like it better this way, though. So, it works. :)

My feelings on Romances: I don't like them. They generally aren't my cup of tea at all, especially when that's the focus. Most shows, especially the crime dramas I watch, would never put two of the main characters together, and therefore I see pairing them up to be out of character. In most cases, that is. And I hate ooc fics. Every now and then I'll find a pairing I can accept, as long as it is in a very low quantity and is semi believable for the series (Chuck/Sarah from Chuck, Bones/Booth from Bones). Now, I'm sure there are many very well written romance fics out there, but they just don't interest me and so you'll never see me write one.

My feelings on Death fics: I don't read them and I don't write them. I love when characters are thought to be dead when they really aren't (a couple of my stories will prove that point) but not actually dead.
