Welcome to the profile of LiteraryRhapsody!

I'm a lifelong bookworm, lover of board games, and an avid fan of gaming in general. I'm a passionate music lover and fan of musical theatre.

When I'm not glued to my computer, I can frequently be found chasing my children around, cooking and baking something fantastic, or planning a seemingly endless procession of family weddings and holiday events.

In addition to my Fanfics I'm also working (not very seriously) on an original work of fiction as well as serving as editor and sounding board for my other half.

You can read some of my collaborative works with other authors over at the profile of the LFFL Collective

I can also be found over on AO3 under the same handle: LiteraryRhapsody

Current Stories:

As the World Falls Down Series

Sarah beat Jareth at his own game and returned Above with her brother. They thought it was over, but her victory was just the opening act in an ancient prophecy that will shake the Underground to it's core. Can Jareth and Sarah overcome their past and free the Underground from the darkness that threatens? Or will Sarah's victory plunge both of their worlds into endless chaos?

AtWFD - Rising Tide

It has been six years and Jareth has been unable to forget “the girl who ate the peach and forgot everything.” Unfortunately for Sarah, she hasn’t been able to forget either. When she returns to the Underground, Sarah is determined to turn her back on her destiny. But circumstances keep pulling her back to the Labyrinth and its enigmatic king. Sarah and Jareth must navigate the treacherous political waters of the Court against a backdrop of impending war. Hampered by a traitor with access to dark magic, and haunted by the words of a prophecy that heralds doom for both of them, can Sarah and Jareth come together to meet the rising tide of evil that threatens to overwhelm both their worlds?

Status - Working on the combined Chapter 30 and 31

Outline complete up through the Epilogue, Chapter 41

AtWFD - Breaking Storm

Because of course the story isn't over!

Synopsis coming after Outline is complete

Status - Outline through Chapter 12 Complete

Authors Note: Because it's one of my oldest stories, As the World Falls Down is one of those that has "grown to epic proportions" as explained above, and is going to be long. At the moment the plan is to write a trilogy and perhaps a few one shots set in the same universe. There is still a long way to go and Rising Tide, although rapidly coming to a conclusion, is only the beginning of the story.

I am working on 3 other Labyrinth fic's. I will likely not be publishing until they are complete but you never know. I may feel inspired by the readers to publish something before then.

Story 1 - Currently untitled - Sarah, manipulated and corrupted by magic, goes in a VERY different direction than we are used to seeing after her run. STATUS - on Hiatus

Story 2 - An AU twisted Fic. (title withheld) Not exactly a crossover, but a reimagining of the world of the Labyrinth. Status - On the back burner, it still needs to cook a while!

Story 3 - NEW! Heaven Can Wait -

My oath as an Author:

I promise never to abandon a story.

I promise that I will never post a chapter that I am not 100% happy with, just for the sake of posting something.

I promise to always let my readers know, should I need to go on hiatus from a story.

I promise that any work I represent as my own will, in fact, be mine.

I promise to endure criticism with grace, to consider advice when offered, and to accept my readers critiques without anger.

I promise to support my fellow authors and point my readers to stories that I've found worth reading

Shameless plug: I love reviews!

I do not, however, like to be flamed (who does?). I can stand constructive criticism, critiques on my writing style, and even occasionally being told that my characters lack depth or my scenes are lackluster. Please, point out plot holes and inconsistencies in my story arc. These things help me become a better writer and make my stories more enjoyable for my readers. However, please keep it respectful and diplomatic. We're all here because we love to read and write. Let's make the experience enjoyable for everyone.
