Greetings and Welcome !

I quess I should include a few details, so here goes ;

Female, Irish & not as young as I was last year!

Hobbies; reading fan-fiction (there's some great stuff out there !), painting & sketching, travelling, photography, pottery, horse-riding, gardening, archery and walking my three big dogs :) Love Italian and Chinese food and watching a good film.

My Beasties; All boys, all Setters & I love them to bits & yes I am one of those crazed LOTR's fans that named their pets after their fav characters etc.!! LOL !! be afraid...be very afraid !!

If you've taken the time to read any of my work - many thanks ! and if you've left a review - even better ! a good review is like food for the soul and sometimes I feel like I'm starving ! hint, hint...yeah I know ! it's about as subtle as a brick in the face !

Fav Fan-Fic Areas:

Lord of the Rings: Especially Legolas & Gimli stories.

Harry Potter: Severus Snape... Alan Rickman I adore you !

Highlander: The Old Man Rocks! Go Methos! Go Methos!

Supernatural: Castiel all the way !! Cas & Dean ...enough said :)

Star Gate (SG-1 & Atlantis): Jack is my all time fav with Sheppard running a very close second.

Star Trek: Got hooked on the original series as a child...Spock sigh just love those pointed ears! Nimoy's the best but 'new' Spock...I LIKEY!! lol! have a soft spot for Data from Next Gen. too.

Moonlight: So sad it didn't get renewed :(

A-Team: God I loved watching those original episodes when I was a kid. Murdock was always my fav, long live H.M :) and fair play to Sharlto Copley for movie Murdock.

Sanctuary: Nikola Tesla, so sassy ! Another great show that ended too soon :(

Sherlock Holmes : Loving the new BBC Sherlock, fantastic adaptation, enjoyed Basil Rathbone and Robert Downey's Sherlock's too but I will always have a deep fondness for Mr. Jeremy Brett. I think Holmes & I see his face, but Benedict Cumberbatch & Martin Freeman are doing an amazing job :)

Grimm: Love this show & so happy it's going to be renewed again YAY !!fav character MONROE ...hands down, how I do love thee, let me count the ways :)

Avengers: Love this crew but because I have been involved in archery for years...well a certain 'Hawkeye' is my biased fav :) kudos to Jeremy Renner

Fav-Genre to write & read: Angst & more angst. Yummy hurt/comfort & friendship fics. Don't think I could write romance if my life depended on it!!...although I finally gave it a go with "Adoration"...will wonders never cease! lol!

Greetings & Salutations to all !!

Story situations so far;

(1) ''PUNISHMENT" : I know chapter 16 is now waaaaaaay over due but I will get there...promise. PLEASE BE ASSURED THAT THE STORY IS NOT ABANDONNED...only on hold. Hope to get back to it eventually when my Trek fic is finished...just not too sure when Sorry!

(2) "COLD HANDS, WARM HEART" : Yep !! It's actually happened, I've finally come back & finished this one, just a wee gap of 10 years but who's counting. Many, many thanks for the continued support for this story over the years, especially when its taken me so long to get it done. Your persistence has meant a lot. Take care folks & please stay safe ~Lai

Until next time my friends, be safe & take care, Lai
