Author has written 19 stories for Hey Arnold.

Hello, and welcome to my profile. This is the place for any Hey Arnold fan to come hang out and hopefully enjoy a story or two. As you'll discover my main focus is on the whole Arnold/Helga thing, mainly because I can't resist a good love story, especially when it's Helga getting her man! So if you're in the mood for a story about the gang from good old PS 118 then grab a drink, take a seat and hopefully enjoy what I have to offer.

Enjoy!

EDIT: I want to give a special thank you to fellow writer Metalheadrailfan for the wonderful fanart he made depicting a couple of chapters from my story A Slice Of Life, and for allowing me to use one of his pictures for the cover art to Shortman Shorts. I'm absolutely loving how he had Helga dress baby Phillip up as Tom in regards to Helga's love of the show Star vs Evil as mentioned in chapter 40 of Slice. It's just too cute. You can find his artwork on Deviantart under the name Metalheadrailfan. I'd post the link but every time I try it takes me to another dimension.
