"And it's all thanks to this wonderful feline..."

I am an aspiring writer and student of history.

Stetson Black: The Story Behind the Name

I should say a little about my pen name, as it is slightly misleading. Back in high school, which feels like so long ago, now, a friend of mine discovered the cologne called Stetson Black. She requested I draw a comic of a man with the same name, since it is a ridiculous name for a male character. I argued that my drawing skills were most definitely not up to par, but persuaded her to accept a piece of literature featuring a man named Stetson Black. This name has now caused me several headaches, since it was probably the best piece of original fiction I ever wrote (or so I thought at the time), and am now currently brainstorming/writing a novel based off that one chapter. It's about aliens and coffee, and should anyone be interested in reading it, I would be surprised but grateful and obliged to let you. But anyway, my name in no way reflects my purchases, as I have no use for cologne of any kind.

The Ross Identity

As before, this story can also be found on livejournal under the incredibly long title--How Harvey's Day Was Greatly Inconvenienced by Mike's Petty Problems.

I promised to post news about a sequel here, so check back under this heading every once in a while if you're interested. I update often.

The news is as follows: I haven't started writing this yet. I am still behind on some of my ongoing fics, which are listed below. However, I have a title, and am working on the plot outline for the sequel. What's the title? I hear you ask. Well, it's a secret. But it's a good one. ;) Seriously, blame Tam Is My Father for it. It's all shcler fault. Writing shall commence post season 2, for factual authenticity.

Clothes Make the Man

I will be working on this in my copious free time(of which I unfortunately have little). I AM working on this. Mainly because it was a personal request of Tam Is My Father, and shcle may just kill me if I don't continue it. I have some idea of where this story is going, but most of it is still up in the air. If you have suggestions or requests, please PM me and I promise to seriously consider them.

I have finally updated this story and actually know what to write next! I will try to get it done before the end of August!

Men in Black Suits

New fic!!!!!! It's a crossover, obviously, with Men in Black! Written for an anon's prompt on the suitsmeme, and it is quite silly. So if you're interested in seeing our boys battling aliens together and Donna being awesome! Or you're just incredibly bored and need something to read (wow, you must really be desperate!) come check it out!

Also in the works!

A Suit for the Soulless

This story is completed and already posted on Archive and the meme. But I'm finally posting it here now that's it's complete. Updates should occur daily. There will be a total of 20 chapters. If you don't like dark stories chock full of hurt/comfort, then this isn't for you. Seriously, warnings for explicit material.

Settling In

Sequel to Animal Instinct. It's basically a collection of oneshots post the start of Harvey and Mike's relationship. Mostly silly animal shenanigans. Next chapter will feature more of Mike's psychic abilities, and maybe I'll even write it from his perspective. *Gasp* It should be slightly more dramatic than silly, but silliness will be ever present in this story.

The latest news on chapter 3 is that it's going to take a bit longer. I was in the process of saving what I'd written when my computer crashed. So I lost all I'd had so far and now I'm kind of pissed. You'll have to continue to be patient and wait for me to calm down before I can continue this story. Sorry.

New fics?

Well, I have nothing I'm planning on, but I always check the prompts on suitsmeme for new inspirations, so I may just have something soon.

Bicycle Races will be up next. It's being beta'd and re-edited and all that jazz, so you'll get it soon-ish.

That's All Folks!
