"Where is Shadowfax?" said Gandalf.
"Running wild over the grass," they answered him. "He will let no man handle him. There he goes, away down by the ford, like a shadow among the willows."

I am retired from posting at this site. At the moment, I'm mostly over at AO3 posting Avengers fics under the name bagheerita. I've also previously posted over at AFF under the name Ripe wickeD plUm, and I'm working on getting some original stories finished- but that's so much less interesting than fanfiction...

I'm from the way old-school FFN, so I don't always remember all the new features that let authors easily reply to reviews and stuff like that. If I didn't message you back to let you know I appreciated your review, I am so sorry. I loved it, I really did, and I am so psyched that you thought what I wrote was worthy of your commenting on it. Whether you liked it or not, for me the highest praise is knowing that what I wrote was striking enough that it generated a response in the reader. So, thank you. =]

As I'm reminded that people still read them I am trying to reformat some of my older stories.

As for abandoned stories: I've officially given up on trying to write more for "VanyelYasha." It seemed a really fun idea when I first thought it up, but it's died the slow, awkward death that many of my more abstract ideas die, only it's done it more publicly. It's buried somewhere in the far, back corner of my mind... and perhaps someday I will drag it from that grave and attempt to resurrect it.

As for sequels I should probably be writing: I have an idea for a sequel to "Ivory Fanged" (basically a mashup of Snakecharm and my favorite Jungle Book story, "Red Dog") but it may never get written unless someone gets me super hyped about the fandom again, and maybe only if people stop making terrible Jungle Book movies and since that's never going to happen...

Storm: We're not here to show you pretty.
Calisto: Right. Because most of it's a whole lot of ugly.
Forge: We've all been monsters, at least once or twice.
Marisol: And we'll probably screw it all up a few more times before we're done.
Storm: But we're here. And we're writing a different story, together.
