Hi, my name's Steph :)
Out in the big bad world now, although I'm still in denial about how much of my time this 'real life' malarky will take up/away from my writing - so if I don't update or review for a while it's because I'm mega busy with... other stuff ;)

Also, I try to reply to all reviews (for the most part). Don't want a reply? Uh... leave an anonymous review?
If for some reason, I don't reply, it's not personal, honest. My emails go to my phone, but I reply from my laptop so I can scan the fic or my notes so as to answer q's accurately, and sometimes I miss some. Sorry!

- Link to corresponding images for my fics, if anyone's interested, is here :)

I'm really not that interesting, and I'll readily admit I'm far more amusing in my head than out loud - but I will likely make you giggle at least once in your life, so you could do worse than check me out ;)
My homepage is my tumblr, which has links to... all my other things, if anyone feels inclined to follow me or whatever :)

Un-posted Works in Progress (Titles subject to change)
Gossip Girl:
ABC's of Love:
Sequel to 'Through Mist & Elegance' & 'Love Is' & 'Pretending Was'
There’s been her story and his, her mother’s version and his; now it’s the turn of their children to spin a tale of love.
When the children of entrepreneur and real-estate mogul Chuck Bass, and ever-in-demand stylist to the stars and mags fashionista Blair Waldorf are kidnapped, they find themselves in the company of people who have set upon the task of casting doubt on how their parents really feel about them. In countenance to this, snippets of their views on the matter are shared; those little moments of love that can be found in the rarest and oddest of times. And in the end, they discover not only just how far their parents would go for them, but also how far they would go for each other

Kissed by a Rose from the Grave / Flutter and Wow:
When Chuck Bass dies, he leaves his empire to someone no one ever anticipated. And in doing so, he hopes to heal a rift that years and continents have forged both deep and wide. He’s dead, and they’re left fluttering against the gales; but they soon realize that he is far from gone. They don’t have to do this alone.
“What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.” - Pericles.

I Mean To Tell You:
It’s history repeating itself, and she’s determined her son won’t feel the same way his father did. She’s determined he will know he is loved. Even if she has to do it for both of them.
“Eventually you will come to understand that love heals everything, and love is all there is.” – Gary Zukav

Brothers and Sisters:
In the aftermath of an attempted suicide, a secret that has remained hidden for years comes to light and threatens to break the bonds of love and family they’ve tried so hard to make last.

White Collar:
Untitled:
Elizabeth's sister comes to visit, and Neal strikes up a friendship with her. He finds himself discovering more and more about the Burke family as the rest of them start to join in the fun and drama.

Common Law:
Today, Tomorrow, Yesterday:
Wes and Travis have been partners for five years, and for every year of that partnership Wes has incurred some form of injury.
Also known as: Four Times Wes was hurt on the job and Alex stayed by his side, and One Time she just couldn't.

Fourth of July:
Wes can't let go of the past and it's about to follow through into his future. His life is about to get a Hell of a lot more complicated and whether he'll admit it or not, he's going to need all the help he can get.

Backwards, Forwards, Sideways, Splat / One Step, Two Step, We All Fall Down:
They termed it an accident. A terrible, terrible, accident. Only it wasn't an accident, and neither was the aftermath. His family was like the debris from the wreckage, and what followed... what followed was as bloody and fractured as his little brother's head the moment it made impact with the road.

Update:
Snapshots Through Time: Runner-Up in CSI Fanfic Awards, Character Study - New York, Danny Messer

Pet Peeve:
(Because it's an amusing little alliteration/phrase/gets my point across)
To any and all Harry Potter fanfiction writers and readers.
Hogwarts is in Scotland, NOT England. They are not the same place, they are two separate countries. And no, saying 'England' is not the same thing as saying 'the UK' or 'Britain', for that matter. England is part of the UK, and likewise it is part of Britain, it doesn't make up the whole bloody union all on its lonesome!

Apologies.
Rant over.
Have a nice day.
:D

P.S. I'd just like to say, in case I, for some reason or other, don't get the chance to reply to a review or post a wee note at the start of a fic or new chapter; that I am eternally grateful to all those who read/reply/favourite/alert my work. It means a HECK of a lot, let me tell you, and I appreciate the time each and every one of you put into doing it.
So, thank you. :)
