MY WRITING:

I enjoying writing for most every genre. My work has broad range.

I'm a fairly new writer, and I appreciate any constructive criticism.

If you want to read more by me, I write at FanFiction.net under the penname x-forbbidenrose-x. I've written stories and poems for various fandoms and in almost every genre from horror and angst to humor and romance. If you click on "website", you will be sent to my FFN profile.

UPDATES:

In the Dust- ON HOLD.

The Howards and the Seymours Preview- I've decided to take a totally new course with this, so I've deleted the preview for now, but when I finish the new and improved first chapter it will probably be posted.

SOME THOUGHTS ON REVIEWS:

Okay, first of all, I review to each and every fic I read whether I love it, hate it, or just think it's okay. I do not flame.

Reviews are very important to me, and if you post stories here too you probably know exactly what I'm saying.

If you review, I am most likely to return the favor.
