Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Mark Kéy-Balchin, though you probably all know me as MarkKB. I'm just your average teenager, computer geek, class clown, artist and writer... I've even got the glasses to prove it! I'm also disorganised, messy and weird.

I'm pretty much a fan of most television shows, movies, books and games I've watched, read or played, but my favourites would have to be Lilo & Stitch, the Star Trek and Stargate universes, Age of Empires, and the Harry Potter books. (I'm not too thrilled over the Harry Potter movie series, or about the pairings, but I'll give 'em a pass.)

One thing I don't really like is bad grammer and spelling (which makes it all the more interesting when I read through early versions of my fanfics.)

Apart from my fanfiction, I also draw art and take photos, which you can take a look at via the links below, if you so desire. I also write and draw a webcomic called Backspace - but that's undergoing an overhall right now.

My deviantART page holds lots of artwork, much of it Lilo & Stitch-related. My YouTube page has some animations and storyboards, some of which are for my fanfics.

I also write computer programs, which you can take a look at on my website, and write about writing programs, which you can read on my blog.

I've now got a fanfiction section on my website, featuring bonus author commentary, the full first version of Lilo & Stitch's Star Trek, and previews of Starlight version 3 and A Trip To Japan version 2. Currently only Starlight/Lilo & Stitch's Star Trek and A Trip To Japan/Lilo & Stitch Go To Japan are on there, but I hope to update it with other fanfics soon!

The Starlight series

The Starlight series is a group of stories set in the same universe as Lilo & Stitch's Star Trek, and sharing the same "canon/fanon". Some of the stories in the Starlight series are undergoing rewrites, but I plan to continue updating the current versions to their conclusions (see the FAQ for more information.)

Published stories in the Starlight series:

Starlight/Lilo & Stitch's Star Trek (started July 2005)
A Trip To Japan/Lilo & Stitch Go To Japan (started September 2005)
Aliens! (started June 2006)
Alpha and Omega (started July 2006)

Original characters in the Starlight series:

Experiment 628 -
Experiment 628 is the perfect superweapon - but unfortunately, he's on the wrong side.

Experiment 419 -
419 is shy, booksmart, energetic and adventurous... if only she could get over her arachnophobia...

Experiment 426 -
426 doesn't see much in education or experiment hunting - he'd much rather be watching TV or insulting Pleakley.
