Author has written 6 stories for Sanctuary.

Hi! Brand new writer, with little technical training, so always appreciative of reviews and constructive critiques.

Huge Sanctuary fan, especially Tesla.

Also Stargate, Doctor Who, and all things Joss Whedon, as well as any video game designed by the Atlus company, though I have no plans to write fanfic for anything other than Sanctuary.

Current Obsession: Recovering from San Diego Comic Con


Completed

Alma Mater - It's a bit rough since it was my first story, but I like it. Inspired by two totally unrelated concepts. First, I always wondered what Henry's formal education was like/if it had ever happened. Secondly, the idea of what the public "Abnormal movement" might look like; I felt the closest equivalent would be the LGBT movement, and therefore there would be an equivalent to the Stonewall Riots.

Light on his Feet - I wanted to write a one-shot for Nikola Tesla's birthday. One of the only problems I have with the TV show was that we never got many chances to seem him interact with anyone but Magnus (not that we were complaining!). Anyways, I started to think about, given his conversations with Henry in Chimera, what his reaction might be to meeting Erica. Technically, it can be considered cannon with "The Mysteries of Lab 327" - though that wasn't my initial intent, it works, and reviews on both stories suggest people like the idea.


In Progress

Putting it Together - Filling in all the space from Awakening to post SFN2 with purely speculative, but (as far as I can tell) totally cannon Tesla goodness. Pacing for chapters is currently a bit weird, but the whole piece is planned out. Coates and Addison make appearances, and of couse the Sanctuary gang will eventually show up as well. Also partially inspired by the work of Stephen Sondheim. (Apologies, The Mysteries of Lab 327 is currently hogging all my inspiration, I do have plans to keep working on this!)

The Mysteries of Lab 327 - A mystery/drama/romance story set post SFN2, from the perspective of an OC, Stefan Miller, who begins work as lab assistant to Dr. Nikola Young at the Sanctuary research laboratory in London. What's behind the door in Lab 327? And what happens once he finds out? (After Part 1, will shift to other character perspectives as well)

The Montague Street Doctor by The Circus reviews
Just because Sherlock stopped, doesn't mean the Work has to. London is John's city now and he will keep it together with stitching, string, his healing, the food off his table, and sometimes the clothes off his back. John Watson keeps going. He's good at that.

The Moment My Life Was Set reviews
Sometimes the stories we choose not to tell are as important as the ones we do. The only story that mattered to her began that night in a London hospital and ended in a cave under Bhalassam. The rest is just the epilogue. (One-shot, implied Helen/Nikola, James & O.C. friendship)
