A bit of a while ago my friend and I put together this list of things that any truly obsessed Animorph junkie has done. Most of them are pretty funny, some of them are just dumb. I encourage you to read this. Oh, there are a lot of inside jokes included, like the commentary in the parenthesis, so you can either ignore it or try to figure it out. The person in the parenthesis without word alteration is me talking, and the person in italics and underlined is my friend. Thanks!

PS: The numbers in bold are the ones that I, personally, have done.

I became addicted to Animorphs on May 28, 2002. I fell in love with them after reading book #2, and by that summer I was writing a Cassie book. I've written many, many fics and song fics, but not all of them will be posted.

My favorite characters are Rachel and Tobias, followed closely by Marco. I love R/T romances and DESPISE romances that mess with the characters...you will see me do the occasional spoof, however...

So far I only do Animorph, and though the temptation to do Harry Potter has arisen, I will never sink that low...shudder... don't get me wrong, I /adore/ Harry Potter fan fic, but to write it is a different story...

I don't read crossovers or anything with the words 'Chronicle, or Part_' in them. I'm a firm believer in fan fic licenses, because some stories just suck, hence the beginning of my C2 croup, 'Animorph Obsession'.

I really liked the story 'You're My Obsession', though it seriously creeped me out the first 80 times I read it. Now I just
point and laugh...

Thanx to everyone for the warm reception I have recieved here, and I'm grateful that you all like my stuff. I love to recieve email, so if you want to talk to me for any reason, I'm here.

I'm not much into reviewing other people's work (I like short things better than long and drawn out stuff) but I'm happy most of the time, and if you ask, I will most likely comply.

I seek to be the new Queen of Insanity, Empress of Weirdness, and best R/T fan fic writer for the year...but, let come what may...bye!
