Hi, I'm Birdieq, and no, I'm not going to kill the child characters (or maybe I am.). Some more about me? I don't always get hives, but when I do, they help me write fabulous stories. If you like any of the following, you'll probably find something here:
-preschoolers who flip tables
-walking dicks who threaten to file for pie-in-the-sky custody of the marrow - I mean child - they abandoned
-super-fertile Addie
-super-in-character Cristina
-Derek as deserving vomit receptacle
-otters. The cutest animal!
