Books/Novellas I've read (ones in bold are my favorites): All seven of the Harry Potter books, Anne of Green Gables, The Beekeeper's Apprentice, A Monstrous Regiment of Women, A Letter of Mary, The Moor, O Jerusalem, Justice Hall, The Game, Locked Rooms, Language of Bees, God of the Hive, Twilight, A Study in Scarlet, The Red-Headed League, A Wrinkle in Time, Dying for Chocolate, Pipi Longstocking, Beezus and Ramona, Ramona Forever, Henry Huggins, Henry and the Paper Route, The Phantom of the Opera, The Mysterious Benedict Society, The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Perilous Journey, Fear Street: Killer's Kiss, Goosebumps: Say Cheese and Die!, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Thief of Always, Weaveworld, The Hellbound Heart, Coraline, The Circle(very thought provoking, but the main protagonist and the ending sucked), Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (SO much better than the movie in my opinion, by the way!) and Good Night Mr. Holmes.

Books I ought to finish: Anne of Avonlea, The Lovely Bones, The Scarlet Gospels, The Hiding Place, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, The Count of Monte Cristo, The Sign of Four, and Beekeeping for Beginners.

Books I refuse to read: Phantom of Manhattan (damn you, Forsyth!), anything written by the Marquis de Sade (Mom's orders), Fifty Shades of Grey (bad Twilight smut fanfiction that should have stayed a bad Twilight smut fanfiction; plus, from what I can tell, it promotes abusive relationships and doesn't understand how BDSM actually works)

Movies I Like (in no particular order): Mary Poppins, Wreck-It Ralph, Hitchcock, Saving Mr. Banks, My Little Pony: Equestria Girls, Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks, Silence of the Lambs, the Devil's Carnival, Repo! the Genetic Opera, the Hellraiser series (except for the last two), Remains of the Day, Sense and Sensibility, the Great Mouse Detective, Exorcismus (a diet Exorcist film that's actually quite good), Wishmaster, the Phantom of the Opera (1989), Dolls, the ABCs of Death 2, and more that I'll put later.

Movies I Don't Like: Drag Me to Hell, the Mole Man of Belmont Avenue (boring, annoying, a complete waste of my time and a waste of Robert Englund's talent; KILL WITH FIRE.), Proteus (hopefully the only truly bad non-Hellraiser film Doug Bradley was involved in)

Films I Have Mixed Feelings About/Am Indifferent to: Maleficent, Hellraiser: Deader, Bram Stoker's Dracula, the ABCs of Death, the Gerard Butler version of the Phantom of the Opera, Saw series (boyfriend made me watch it)

Films I Want to Watch: the Nightmare on Elm Street series (So far I've only seen the first one), V for Vendetta, Candyman, the Phantasm series, Magic, Pretty Much All the Disney Movies I haven't seen yet (with some exceptions)

Film I'm Hesitant to Watch: Suspiria (lots of blood and the US trailer nearly gave me a heart attack, but the sets look amazing)

Films I REFUSE to Watch: Fifty Shades of Grey (same reason as the book. Also, I've heard that the lead actors didn't get along very well and were disturbed by what they had to do and the director was frustrated with Ms. James' "vision." Same goes for the sequels [please don't let her write anymore books or direct anymore films].), Where the Dead Go to Die (it's just way too dark for me to stomach and the animation is an eyesore)

Stories in the Works/Under Consideration:

Death Note: Legacy (Radio Drama for ) (Looking for Voice Actors and a Co-Writer/Beta Reader)
Category: Death Note AU (Taking elements from most franchise entries of Death Note)
Genre: Crime/Drama/Horror with some Humor and Heartwarming moments sprinkled in
Rating: T-M
Characters: The original Death Note Cast (albeit with some name changes for the human characters), reworkings of characters from the Japanese films and Netflix Adaptation (especially the Netflix adaptation since they're the ones being followed the most), and OCs.
Summary: In an alternate reality where the series was loosely based on a real case, the original Kira was stopped and executed by L. The year is now 2017 and another Death Note is found in America. Will a new world order be established or will L and his allies be able to stop a Kira uprising?
This idea came to me after watching the Netflix adaptation of Death Note (and I have rewatched parts of it several times since then just to make sure I get certain details right) and thought about what I would do with Death Note if I were told to create a Netflix show/movie for it in order to avoid the trap the movie fell into where it's trying to be its own thing, but cannot get far enough away from the source material to justify the changes (especially very stupid changes; I still call BS on "Watari" being the character's real and only name rather than an alias [you couldn't even come up with a first name for him?, not even if I take into account the Madonna argument, where he's thought of himself as "Watari" for so long that that's now his real name and that it's enough for Light and Mia to write his name down in a poorly planned scheme to kill L [why couldn't you just write "Watari fatally shoots the detective known as L and then himself?"]). My first thought was going the New Nightmare route, where a Death Note finds its way into the real world and into the hands of someone who's a huge fan of the series and the chaos unfolds from there. Then I decided to go a step further: instead of just the Death Note being real, the characters have real life counterparts as well and they (particularly L) are struggling to keep their existence a secret from the general as well as the killer notebooks, especially with more and more of them being dropped over the years.
If you are interested in voicing a character for this radio drama or would like to co-write with me, please go here to audition.

Abandon All Hope
Category: Danganronpa/Horror Crossover AU (Might Replace the Team Fortress 2 fanfic), High School AU (Spoiler warnings for various horror films and for the Danganronpa franchise as important plot points from these will be taken and used for this story).
Genre: Mystery/Drama/Horror/Humor
Rating: M (A whole lot of death and angst ahead, plus potential suggestive moments)
Summary: Carrie was thrilled to attend the newly opened American branch of Hope's Peak and be seen as normal for once in her life, but when a demonic robot bear named Monokuma decided to trap her and fifteen other students in the school and told them that the only way out is for someone to commit a murder and get away with it, she starts to wonder if she would have been better off staying with her mother. Will she be able to stop the Mastermind behind this sick game and escape the school with her new friends or will she succumb to Despair and lose everything?
I'm kind of addicted to Danganronpa at the moment so I thought why not write this?

Blood Trials (Title Pending; may undergo rewriting and change of plot)
Category: Hellraiser
Characters: OC, Pinhead, Chatterer, Kirsty, Angelique, and other cenobites.
Pairings: Chatterer/OC, Pinsty
Genre: Horror/Drama
Rating: M
Summary: On her thirteenth birthday, Kari opens the Lament Configuration. The creatures on the other side promise that she will be reunited with her mother and father. However, she needs to pass a series of tests in order to do so, and her father is watching her every move.

Hellraiser: Hellworld Revised
Category: Hellraiser
Characters: Revised!Cast of Hellworld, Pinhead, Kirsty
Pairings: Chelsea/Jake, and some Pinsty
Genre: Sci-fi/Horror
Rating: T-M (don't know how violent it will be)
Summary: A much different (and hopefully better) version of the eighth Hellraiser film, borrowing the same concept of the anime Sword Art Online. Chelsea and her friends have been invited to test a new invention that allows them to be fully immersed in their favorite online RPG Hellworld, a game inspired by the Hellraiser movies and various comics. The invention works, but the problem is that if they die while playing the game, they die in real life. It's up to Chelsea, her surviving friends, and the NPC version of Pinhead, to finish the game so that they can leave.
