Bio:
Whaddup, g?

I am 30, flirty, fabulous, and thriving. Well, I'd like to be at least. Some days I think I manage it pretty well. Most days I am just a normal girl struggling to live in a normal world - aren't we all, though? I have a very ambitious career working for a global Internet site, but really want to be a writer. I have a comic book that I've kinda been working on off and on for a few years that might see the light of day eventually. I also try my hand at fanfiction from time to time, writing under the name agora. I'm a sucker for a good 'ship - especially the against all odds sort.

Happy to make new friends - thanks for stopping by!

Keep On Moving by Cass Rated: 15 Liked [Reviews - 83]
Summary: FINAL CHAPTER for now. But the sequel may yet get a sequel ;) Sequel to 'Moving On'. So Spike and Buffy have overcome all sorts of odds and now they are together and happy in Rome... But this is Spike and Buffy, after all, so how long do we really think this will last? Especially given that Spike has made himself a powerful enemy... This is still very much a Spuffy fic, but other characters (especially Dawn and Andrew) will get to play too.

You know what it means... whatever can go wrong, will go wrong. ‘Murphy’s Law’ comes into play from the moment our two favorite blonds meet despite any initial attraction to one another. What’s the result when a womanizing genius and a prudish workaholic are forced together in every way with no choice but to deal with each other 24/7? Tons of UST! Will it ever get resolved, or will they kill each other first? .... “Tell me somethin’, pet. Wha’s the real reason for your knickers bein’ in a twist aside from the possibility you put your plug in sideways?” …. “The fact you’re still breathing is number one on a very long list of reasons and oh-my-God... crude much?” Romance, comedy and mild angst.

Then one day she stumbles upon a mysterious escort service online that offers her hope of a perfect sexual experience and impulsively decides to seek out their help. What starts as a simple business transaction turns into a night of unbridled passion-filled sex with the handsome stranger the service pairs her with, leaving both of them to question if once is truly enough.

The Lord and the Lady by Gillypod Rated: AO-AdultsOnly Liked [Reviews - 468]
Summary: Winner of Best AU at Sunny D and Best Plot . It was also voted Runner Up in Best NC-17, and Best Romance - to all who voted for me I thank you from the bottom of my heart Hi Folks. My story is set in the English Regency era with the date about 1815. The story revolves around the son of a penniless Duke (William a.k.a. Spike) and a rich debutante who is also the daughter of a Duke (Elizabeth a.k.a. Buffy). Elizabeth is of a mind to marry for love and William is just as sure that he needs to marry for money. William is determined to hold on to his mistress of 10 years, Lady Drusilla Angelus, and although attracted to his intended he is sure he can love only Drusilla. Will Buffy remove Spike from Drusilla’s clutches or will he return again to the arms of his Dark Princess. This is my first attempt at a fanfic and I would be grateful for any constructive comments. There will be some Spike/Drusilla but this is necessary for the story. This story will be very NC-17 from early in the story. IF YOU ARE NOT OF AGE PLEASE DO NOT READ. Nominated at SunnyD and LSA and Solemn Grace and now at Spark and Burn and Shades of Gray too - thank you all latest nomination for this fic is the FL awards Feeling Love Awards
