Author has written 3 stories for Lord of the Rings, and Gilmore Girls.

I am on here, like many, to practice my writing skills while furthering my professional writing career. With my foot in the door to publishing my first novel, I still find time to enjoy these stories (i.e.: LOTR, Supernatural, etc) that have inspired me for many years and am excited to write fanfiction for them as an exercise to keep writer's block at bay. Fanfiction is a site that I discovered through a fellow writer and I am thrilled to be a part of this imaginative and free-thinking group. Looking forward to chatting with many of you and testing the waters with my fiction writing ... fanfiction writing :)

Side note: Reviews are very much encouraged. Comments help me know what readers want.
