Tinkerbell99hide bio
 Author has written 24 stories for West Wing, Lost, NCIS, and Walking Dead. I used to write, and then I didn't. Apparently, now I do again. Most of my older fic lives on my livejournal. I'm tinkerbell99 over there, too. There's a LOT more fic over there (mostly for Lost) than is currently here. In the past, I wrote fic mainly for The West Wing and Lost. Then, I took about a four year hiatus. Recently, I've had a lot of fun writing a few things for NCIS and The Walking Dead. And if there is anyone out there who knows what I'm talking about when I say the fannish obsession began waaaaay back with shows called LD:TS and LD:TOY...well, we could have a whole other conversation about that! (Let's do! Seriously! Clay Mosby, anyone?) Feel free to say hi! Update: Okay, okay. I joined Tumblr. Because that's where the Caryl is. Only problem? I have utterly no idea what I'm doing. Seriously. We've found the point where technology leaves me behind. Um, help? I'm tinkerthebell99 on there if anyone wants to, you know, help. Because I need it. Clearly. |
