Hello. I'm new to fan fiction, and new to writing, but I'm having tremendous fun with it. Thank you so much, those that have posted reviews. I didn't expect such enthusiasm, insight, and encouragement. I had some vague thought of pursuing writing as a 2nd career, come retirement, and now it no longer seems quite so far-fetched an idea.

I'm a huge fan of paranormal romance - the darker, the better! My favorite authors are Laurell K. Hamilton, Gena Showalter, Kresley Cole, J.R. Ward, Larissa Ione, Jacquelyn Frank, and Nalini Singh.

Supernatural has been my favorite TV show for years. I love those guys! Sam may have the better body these days, but I still prefer Dean - he's such a hero, and he's the bad boy with a heart of gold, the cynic who wants to believe. I love Daryl on The Walking Dead for the same reason. So damaged, but he can't help himself, he's always rescuing people. And my all-time favorite broken hero, Spartacus as played by Andy Whitfield. Oh, such heartbreaking performances! His real-life death from cancer was the true tragedy.

Other favorite TV shows (current): Supernatural, The Walking Dead, Doctor Who, Sherlock, NCIS, NCIS: Los Angeles (clearly), Criminal Minds, Lost Girl, Nurse Jackie, The Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother

Favorite TV series (past): Babylon 5, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly, Star Trek (watched them all, but preferred Next Generation), Stargate SG1, Eureka, V (original series), Spartacus: Blood & Sand, Todd and the Book of Pure Evil, Burn Notice, Dexter

Movie favorites: The Matrix, Aliens, Terminator, Avatar, Serenity, The Avengers, Gabriel, Underworld, Star Wars, Star Trek, The Fifth Element, 300, Lord of the Rings, Tron, The Fugitive, Casino Royale, Speed, Dawn of the Dead, 28 Days Later, Resident Evil, Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Galaxy Quest, Men in Black, Ladyhawke, The Princess Bride, The Lake House, Romancing the Stone
