12/14/2014: Something I've been meaning to do for a while and finally got around to: I made a tumblr for my fanworks! The main purpose? Posting sneak peeks of stuff I'm working on that isn't finished yet or is stuck in editing (like you know how Say When is nearly two months late? Yeah, there will be peeks on that). And you'll get plenty of gif pr0n and me giving rambly speeches about my feelings about fandoms, so they don't clog up fics as author's notes. Would be totally flattered to see some of you guys there - and if there are prompts you want to send me, I might be able to post some mini-stories as well! http:///

(What happened to all the old stuff I had on my profile page? I'm writing again, waaaay more than I thought I would be, so it was time to update it!)

If you're here for HFA: When's that gonna get finished, Shadow13? Honestly, no idea. I started that when I was sixteen. So almost a freaking decade ago. So...someday, maybe, hopefully, most likely - I did promise, after all.

If you're here for Labyrinth: Holy moley, it's my new largest fandom! My old profile page said I wasn't planning on doing any more epic length fics. My old profile page was a dirty, dirty liar. I have such a list going, you guys. Such a list.

Looking for a fluffier, sweeter Jareth? Try "Signed," "Marry Me," and "I Did Not See Mommy Kissing Santa Claus."

Looking for a slightly evil Jareth? Try "Blue Bananas in the Moonlight," and "We Must Not Look On Goblin Men."

Want something in between? Try "The Riddle," and "Say When!"

Getting through my crazy fanfic life with special thanks to my official beta and unofficial enabler, Mztlynne (tell her to write stuff, guys, she's got some great ideas to try out!).

About the Author:

I have been writing fanfiction since the long, long ago time, when the mighty Crossover roamed the land without its own tagging system, which made understanding what you were about to read a beeotch; when M fics ran rampant, until ffdotnet started cracking down on that, and also before they allowed it again with the mystical M rating; and when two users could have the same screen name, so even though my account was the active one, with way more stories, some Sonic poser beat me to the punch, and that's why my pen name has an extra 1 on the end, and I still sign my messages "Shadow13." I'm nothing, if not stubborn.

I'm begging you, don't go back and read anything five years before today's date. I don't care when you read this, but I guarantee you, five years from now, this will still be true and I will still be improving. By all means, go on back and read if you want to, but...don't hold me responsible for what happens. I keep that stuff up as a reminder of where I've been and where I'm going.

I've been accepted to a graduate school for playwriting, work in a winery in a vain attempt to pay the bills, and spend way too much time on my couch.

OMG, I HAVE FAN ART: A big thank you to the AMAZING recurve-hawk for this great piece they did for "We Must Not Look On Goblin Men:" http:///post/105772284041/okay-so-i-did-some-fanart-really-quick-for-a-hella
