Brunettehide bio
 Author has written 20 stories for Mummy, Newsies, and Pirates of the Caribbean. I'm afraid this account is now inactive. After indulging a guilty pleasure for fan fiction for a little too long, I've finally decided I'd rather focus on serious writing and let this fun little time-suck go. I'll also be removing quite a few stories; the unfinished ones, of course, because there's no reason leaving them up, but also some I was never particularly fond of, and others that have elements I'd like to recycle (upcycle?) into original pieces. Best regards! |
