Author has written 5 stories for Cats.

Name: You can call me Nel, even if that has almost nothing in common with my actual name besides the first letter (why yes I am trying to be elusive why do you ask)

Location: Other side of the world. Specifically, the Phils. That's the country that's not China, Japan or Korea.

Job: Generally grumpy student

This account is reserved specifically for my Cats fics, because Cats has a special place in my heart, yuss. My other fandoms would be Harry Potter, Moulin Rouge, HIMYM, and many, many others. Let's be friends. ;D


FAVORITE THINGS

Favorite Cats: Mungojerrie, Rumpleteazer, Tumblebrutus, Electra (seriously beginning to grow on me), Rum Tum Tugger, Alonzo

Favorite Pairings: Anything entirely unusual! Pairings you wouldn't expect. For the more conventional ones, though, I do love me some MJ/RT, Tumblectra, Tugger/Bomb, Mistoffelectra, and Cass/Alonzo.

FIC PROGRESS

The Pariah, Heroic is COMPLETE! Couldn't have done it without all you reviewers. I love you all, and thank you so much!

New story: Wild Rose. Remember what I said about Bomba, Tugger and metaphor? Aaaaw yusssss.

Various oneshots and such will come around sooner or later.

ALSO! I have an idea in mind for a fanfic contest, but I suppose I'll put it up when this flurry of other contests clears/finishes from the front page. Deary me.

TO CLEAR IT UP

APPEARANCE: What with the interchanging of hands with paws and hair with head fur and such, it can be confusing as to how to picture the Jellicles. As for me, I imagine that the Jellicles appear as regular cats to humans, but to animals they're the cat-human sort, like in the musical, but not with armwarmers/tail belts. They have actual fur and moving tails.

AGE: For my fics I use the actual aging of a real cat. By one human year they are already 15 cat years old. After that their aging slows down. At two human years they are just 24, at three human years they are 28, and so on. For help on the aging of a cat refer to this extremely helpful chart: http:///cs/healthissues/a/agechart.htm

MUNGO AND RUMPLE, MATES OR SIBLINGS: They can be either or both, actually! They're cats. However, for my fics, they switch relationships for whatever seems fit for the story at hand.

ART

I have a deviantArt account dedicated exclusively to my Cats fanart! Please check them out right here: http:/// Look at it. Look at it now. What's that? You don't have the time and/or interest to? SCREW YOU. Just kidding. Just take a look, please. Please? Thank you all! (I take requests every weekend... in the afternooon... if I'm happy...)

ON SLASHOPHOBIA

What's the deal? I find it sorta funny when people all go EW SLASH, especially considering this is a fandom for a musical, and musicals are practically the mother of gay men. Look at your lovely cast, my friends. John Partridge is gay. Jason Gardiner is gay. Jacob Brent... bless his talented, rainbow butterfly soul. I'm not forcing you to read it, but learn to know that some people out there find their love in someone of the same gender. Heck, this is ! "Unleash your imagination". So what if cats aren't able to be gay? We imagine them as humans in fur suits which, mind you, is not exactly the most normal thing on this website (though there are less normal things). Learn to tolerate, learn to love, and say NO to homophobia!

OTHER THINGS

I'm considering putting up my own Cats fansite. I'm adequate at coding and at webdesign; I've made my share of websites before. However, this site will be focusing more on things like canon/fanon theories: relationships, histories, etc. of the Jellicles. What... fun? 8D

He Who Fell Off the Heaviside Layer by TheFlySavior reviews
The storyteller's memories corrode with time, moments of happiness are byproducts of broken dreams. A nonlinear bit of fiction that's utterly wrong and should not be read by anyone. :P
