I'm an avid fan of Joss Whedon's shows Buffy, Angel, Firefly, and Dollhouse. I'm also a big fan of Stephanie Meyer's Twilight Saga and I have enjoyed the movies as well. I was also a Buffyverse & Twilight roleplayer on MySpace. I'm really enjoying myself here. This is a great site to read tons of fics and I'm really liking writing some of my own. I've got a few I'm actively working on and a few that will be coming when I finish what I am working on.

Another tidbit about me... I'm from the states (US ;) and I'm 26 at the moment. Thought I'd share that.

Right now I'm working on some Twilight fic. Its AU as are most of my fics. I'm definitely Team Edward, so my fics are Bella/Edward centered. As for my Buffy fics, they're all Buffy/Spike centered. That's just what I write. I've completed part one of my Father series, Father of Mine. I just finished posting it on here. I also post my Spuffy fics on the Spuffy Realm, another fanfic website. Part 2, Father of Yours, is under way, but has taken a back burner to my Twilight muse.

Thanks!

PS - I'm a college student and I have a fairly busy RL, so I'm not always able to keep a regular posting schedule. Sorry.

Updates

- The Truth of the Matter Is is also on Spuffy Realm as is Father of Mine. I've got several more ideas for new fics. I'm just trying to do one at a time. TTOTMI is complete and only 9 chapters so it shouldn't take too long to get it posted for you guys and girls. : )

12/20/09 - No Surprise - is my first Twilight fic. I just recently found a beta and took the story down so that I can edit it. I will be reposting it soon. Sorry for the delay.

4/25/10 - Belief - I am working on continuing the o/s. I've written chapter 2 and have plans to write a 3rd and maybe a 4th chapter. Chapter 2 is with my beta right now, so as soon as we have it ready I'll post it for you all. :)

No Surprise - I've renamed it Life After You after another Daughtry song. :) I'm reworking the story. Same premise, just a different way of writing and telling the story. Hopefully I'll have it reposted soon. Depends what my beta says. :)

10/16/10 - Sorry for the late update here. I now have update stories posted. Buffy Updates, Teasers, & Outtakes and Twi: Updates & Teasers. Take a look at those, sign up for updates, favorite them, review them... you name it! I'm trying to come up with new stories to write, but my muse is being shy. If you'd like to see something I'm open to suggestions. I am looking for a beta for a new 3 chapter series of a Twilight fic to be titled Nothing But A Number.

11/11/10 - Hey there! I've decided to indefinitely postpone No Surprise/Life After You. I seem to be blocked on it and can't get my head back into the storyline. I think I just realized that some of my story was very overdone. I've been reading a lot of fan fic lately, so check out my favorites if you want some good reads. Currently I'm stuck on Work in Progress by araeo. Look for it! It's complete too, so you can get all the goodies without having to wait for updates. Others I'm reading are Parenthetical Love, Unplanned Perfection, Kiss Me, I'm Irish, Breaking Trinity, Smooth Operator, Late Night Encounters, Caravaggio, and Art School Confidential. All of them can be easily found in my favorites since I didn't list the authors for all of them. I'm still looking for a beta, so if you want to see more of my work... that's what's holding up the updates! Feel free to PM to chat or whatever. :)

4/6/11 - I've posted short fics. "Belief" ended up being 4 chapters and then I have my 3-shot series "Nothing But A Number". I also wrote a one shot called "Overdue" for a contest. Belief was originally for a one shot contest "What's Under Your Tree" but I decided to continue it. Nothing But A Number was originally inspired by Taylor Swift's song "Fifteen" but it has some more mature themes including abuse (not rape) and a big age difference between Edward and Bella. If either of those make you squirm in a bad way, don't read it.

4/8/11 - So, I'm trying to decide what to write next. If you have suggestions/ideas PM me on here or find me on twitter @DuchessMichelle.

8/14/12 - It's been a while since I've updated my profile, so here I am. Also, I am currently considering a continuation of my Nothing But a Number series. Want to know more? Let me know. Hearing your thoughts about it might just inspire me. :-)

10/19/12 - It's only be a couple of months since I last updated you all. However, I was trying to work out a continuation of NBAM because I got inspired by the song 100 Years by Counting Crows. For now though I don't think it's going to work. I was going to work the series from Edward's POV and add in some stuff we hadn't seen. I am working on a new/old story though. I had 4 1/2 chapters written of a story dealing with a break up. It was inspired by a break up of mine and I'm trying to get it beta'ed now and see if it's worth continuing. :-)
