I am 20, I am a woman, and I love romance. Seriah Black is my pen name.

I am currently writing my personal rendition of Beauty and the Beast. It is not at all like the Disney version--or the original, for that matter--so it is not a fanfiction. I am using the idea of a beauty, a beast, and a romance, by different means to a different end.

I'm trying to make a habit of posting information on the progress of my stories on my web site, so feel free to check it out.

Beauty and the Beast: VISIBLE PROGRESS IS BACK PEOPLE! I know, I know, it's been a HORRENDOUSLY long time since I updated last. :makes a dead face: I'm STILL horrified by how long an interval that was... :shudder: DON'T want that to happen again.

A couple diagrams and a shortened guide to the class system are posted on my site. Consider it a sort of prequel to Chapter 10.

Maps of the Servants' Quarters and the Upstairs Hallway are also posted on my site. Go to my site and follow the link in the side panel to the Beauty and the Beast Gallery (the "Maps" section, obviously). I just added an explanation of the maps' details on the main page of my site. The maps should be extremely helpful as you're reading. ;)

ARTISTS WANTED!! I'd really like someone who's good at drawing to draw the characters from my story Beauty and the Beast. I would draw them myself, except I'm not so great at drawing people, so I think I'll stick with writing. ;) If you're interested, please message me. Thanks!

Also, feel free to throw ideas at me. I'm always open to suggestions, and I DO have some story timeline gaps to fill, so...Suggestions??
