I have been writing in VC fandom since 1998 and I would beg your pardon on the fumbling earlier stories; I hope with time I have managed to become a better writer!
I live in the middle of a cornfield with my partner Debra, our dog Silvio, five cats and the neighbor's three horses who live in our barn and field. It's great to have this lovely site where we can all have our stories accessible to those who are interested in reading them :)

vc_media put up by the lovely and talented saffronlie, to whit;
'That theme is: Responses to the rumours of a new VC adaptation. Interpret at will. You might do a mockup of Robert Downey Jr. as Lestat (yes, it's been denied, but let your imaginations run free across marshmallow-dipped fudge clouds), or make a few icons from another adaptation, or write a spec wherein Lestat reacts to the news. Whatever you like or come across'
My icon skillz are most certainly not mad, so I decided to write a fic instead.
