Bio:
I'm an avid fan of Joss Whedon's shows Buffy, Angel, Firefly, and Dollhouse. I am also a Buffyverse roleplayer on MySpace. I'm really enjoying myself here. This is a great site to read tons of Spuffy fics and I'm really liking writing some of my own. I've got a few I'm actively working on and a few that will be coming when I finish what I am working on.

I'm so grateful that people like Father of Mine. I began writing it after I was inspired by Cissi's 'Everlasting Love'. Right now I'm working on Part 1, but I have ideas to make this a long one and add Parts 2 & 3. :D It's really turned into something for me & I hope it really means something to my readers too.

I mostly think about writing AU fics. I only have the one canon that I'm doing (The Truth of the Matter Is & sequel So It Seems). I mostly read AU too. I like to read fics with some magic too.

Another tidbit about me... I'm from the states (US ;) and I'm only 21 at the moment. Thought I'd share that.

***Update 5/29/09 - Well, Part 1 of FOM is completed. I've started working on my plans for Part 2 and writing Chapter 1. I took down Heart on the Table to edit it and change some stuff. It will be put back up once I figure out where I want to take it. I'm stuck at the end of Chapter 4 right now. I'm also working on Chapter 4 of So It Seems, the sequel to The Truth of the Matter Is. Keep reading and reviewing Father of Mine. It just hit 109 reviews! And its nearing 3000 hits! Yay! Thanks so much to everyone who's read & reviewed it already! =)

***Update 7/13/09 - I want to thank everyone who's read & reviewed Father of Mine. I really appreciate all the feedback that I have gotten for it, and I am currently trying to work on the sequel. I've gotten some help from a beta (xoChantelly). Thanks hun! But right now I'm taking a break from writing because my Microsoft Office Trial expired, so I can't write everything up on my computer. I know it might be lazy of me, but I hope to be back at it soon. :) Thanks again to all my readers! I'm also working on a one shot based on the song Good Directions and Heart on the Table, my Grey's Anatomy-esque fic as well as So It Seems, the sequel to my first fic, The Truth of the Matter Is. I hope to be back to work on all of them very soon.

Thanks for reading!

Cute & oh so sexy! I really liked it. It's short & sweet, which works perfectly for this little story to be told.

Author's Response: thanks you so much for your feedback

Summary: There's much fun to be had in this post Chosen/NFA fic. Starts off in Rome, moves to London, and eventually makes its way to the Ohio hellmouth. Buffy struggles to come to terms with who she is and what she wants in life. Meanwhile, all her friends are trying to do the same, except Spike. He knows exactly what he wants, and of course that's Buffy. There's also the mystery of missing slayers, arising key powers, an unexpected pregnancy, and a ghost to deal with.

Date: 12/01/2008 Title: Chapter 1: Something To Sing About

Something to sing about... that it was.

Summary: Elisabeth O’Connor is the child of the two vampires Angel and Darla. Elisabeth grows up in Sunnydale - Angel thinks it to dangerous to her to be close to him - and there she’s known by the name Buffy Anne Summers. She lives with Willow and Tara (two lesbian-witches) and (to their help of raising Buffy/Elisabeth) they have Xander and Anya (a human and an ex. vengeance demon). The also have Giles (who used to be a watcher for the slayer Faith, but he quit when she didn’t need him anymore). And so there’s Spike… Angel asked Spike to watch over Buffy. Even though Angel and Spike hates each other (more that anything or anyone) he agreed. But... (there is always a “but”) But then there’s Ana... She is Buffy’s little “secret friend”. The one who stands by her side (even when no-one else then Buffy and Ana knows it). The friend who knows what Buffy feels, thinks and want... especially when it comes to Spike!

Back and Forth by NautiBitz Rated: NC-17 Liked [Reviews - 4]
Summary: Feeling sexy after 'First Date', Buffy shows herself some love, forgetting that her live-in ex has bionic hearing. Warning: she thinks about Wood, but not for long.

As In 'Recent' by NautiBitz Rated: NC-17 Liked [Reviews - 10]
Summary: Season 7 lovesmut (and optimistic 'missing scene'). Is that "history" Andrew refers to in 'Storyteller' more recent than he thinks? Probably not, but let's pretend anyway!

It's so sweet. I really liked it. It was nice to see the intimacy between them here, the way he comforted her and the way they cleaned up afterwards. I just really liked it. :)

Summary: Buffy's a barely legal Bel Air brat, Spike's a reckless, heartbroken punk. When they crash into each other on a mountain road, sparks fly.

Spike peered through the window at the blonde, tan, bare-shouldered, thousand-dollar-sunglass-wearing bint he'd just saved from certain death. His eyes narrowed. Oh yeah. He was Pissed. Off.

(Originally published in 2003/2004. Winner of several awards, including "Best of the Best UST" @ VKA and "Best Fantasy" @ LLGA and the Spuffies. Features an original song by me. And yes, I do plan to post a Part II!)

Just as soon as he worked up the nerve to remind her, that is. Who says you can't find your soul-mate in preschool? Nominated at the Sunny D Awards and at Cradle of Humanity! Thank You.

Hmm... I just skipped ahead to review this chapter since I've read all that you've posted so far. :) Anywho... I really like this story & I hope you update it soon. Its very emotional, but its very good. You're a very good writer. I think I've read some of your other fics as well. I'm very curious to see where this cliffie goes too.

Author's Response: Back in action again! Life is crazy, but I'm going to try to write when I can. Thank you so much for reading and reviewing!

Summary: "She was one of those un-fuckable Sunnydale girls. One who was probably too prude and pure to get involved with a bastard like me. You see, besides having what my father calls an intolerable penchant for swearing, I also can never keep my room clean, I procrastinate like nobody’s business, I rarely think before I act, and I’m a tad bit unreliable. I’m also a bit of a prick if you haven’t picked up on it yet." Fantasy fic with an odd touch of canon

Wow. Def intense. I really like this story though. Maybe I'm wacky b/c I like the intense & angsty ones, but that's me. Maybe its because I can relate to them a little more because they seem more real. At any rate, I love the story & your writing. Keep it up!

Author's Response: Lol I'm wacky that way too I like to read and write the angsty ones, probably for the same reasons...I do think its more realistic, and theres something about the seperation that makes the coming together all the more worth it for me...
