Ok, time for an update...

I'm a 40 something electronics sales associate/aspiring author with a husband, two teenagers, and the requisite two cats.

I want to say thank you to everyone who's been so great about reviewing my stories; I'm an awful review hound, and write considerably more, and update considerably more often, when I'm hounded. Constructive criticism is always welcome; I love to hear what you think.

I have two co-authored projects out there, as well as a shared universe of movieverse Bobby/Kitty fic:

Deliverance, at http://www.fanfiction.ws/s/4492238/1/Deliverance. It's written with the ever awesome Melodyrider and Oldprydefan, and deals with an unlikely team of X-types who take it into their heads to go rescue Kitty Pryde!

Fallen Angels, co-authed with the excellent Beaubier, is on permanent hiatus. Thank you to all our loyal readers who reviewed Chapter 8 after the long break - it meant a lot! http://www.fanfiction.ws/fallenxangels.

As for the status of my fic:

The Just Kids series (includes "Just a Couple of Kids, After All", "Behind Closed Doors", "The Price of Being Normal", "Step by Step", and "Growing Up, Moving On"): Is complete. There's really nothing more to do with Bobby and Kitty at this stage in their relationship except fluff, while they settle into their normal lives. Addendum: Except for "Comedy of Errors", which simply had to be written.

Ghosts from the Past: I'm not sure whether or not this will ever be finished. I ran into a problem with my original premise, and haven't worked my way around it.

Making Good: What would happen if Wicked (the musical, not the book) were recast by Bobby and Kitty's daughter Elizabeth? Sequel to "A Somewhat Familiar Fairy Tale", but can easily stand alone. Will probably never be finished, sorry!

Fractured Psyches: On hiatus, probably permanently. Given what Marvel did with the whole story line, I'm eager to just forget it rather than rewrite it.

From the Ashes: An Evolution story, based on a challenge by Cailleach Bheur. Most likely won't be finished, as I liked the premise so much I decided to use it elsewhere.

The Butterfly Effect: I tried to convince myself to let it stand alone, but it ended up having sequels because I really wanted to know just how far spread the changes go when you change one isolated incident in the Marvel Universe. The Perfect Present has been added to conclude the series, though the series itself may have a sequel coming soon!

Thanks for reading! (does anyone except me actually read these things?)
