Author has written 34 stories for Lord of the Rings, Stargate: SG-1, Pirates of the Caribbean, Stargate: Atlantis, Star Trek: 2009, Musketeers, Salvation, and Avengers.

So, an update, after how many years? I am still writing, thinking about fanfic, but not nearly as often. I earned my MA a few years ago and am working on a Ph.D. now, which takes up most of my time. I haven't completely forgotten about the LOTR stories, but I've run into a bit of a problem: my writing has changed much since I last worked on this series. I've reread what I wrote and I'm puzzled about how I even got anyone to read, let alone leave a positive review. I do have plans to re-vist these stories, but for me to be happy with them, I would need to completely re-write them, all the way down to the plot. It's a massive project as I'm going into my doctoral exams and soon dissertation. There are some options I've been weighing however, because I do enjoy fanfiction and I don't want to forget where I got my start with writing. Either I will write the stories completely and post edited chapters or write the stories as a series of drabbles. If you're reading this and are interested in seeing these stories completed, feel free to send my a PM with your feedback on how you'd like to see the stories finished up. I don't like leaving the series incomplete and it will be finished, but not likely in the next year.

Here is the link for the Musketeer's story "The Romantic Hero and the Loneliest Woman in Paris." It'll take you to my tumblr with images of the story with the proper formatting.

Here's the link for the "Aramis and the Infomercial Video" that's in Musketeer One-Shots.

Whumptober '17 by Aggie2011 reviews
31 oneshots based on the Whumptober prompt list on tumblr. All around 1000 words give or take a few hundred. If you know me, you know these will mostly be about Aramis. But I'm also branching out and beating up the rest of the boys too. So there's that.
