Date First Story Posted: June 2002
Author Profile ~ Ever since I can remember I have been unable to
turn off the TV or walk out of a movie without wondering how I would have
handled that story, so writing fan fiction seemed like a natural extension
of that. I confess that my first attempts had to do with anime, then I
moved on to Highlander and Robin of Sherwood. Most of my
fics are fairly short, and I like looking for an odd approach.
