Author has written 1 story for Gilmore Girls.
Hi Everyone. I'm Michelle. I'm a new writer. Truthfully, I love writing. I love reading. I love Jess. I like Tristan. Those two are the best. No offense to anyone I don't like dean. So don't get mad if i do write about him and make him seem like a jerk. I play volleyball. I'll be a senior in highschool. I'm 17. I love Gilmore Girls with Jess on it. I hate Season 4 and that's about it.
