Apparently you wanna know about me. Surely you have better things to do with your time! ;) But then, I've probably clicked on your name, so here goes...

You can find my writing portfolio at

Or follow me on Twitter at https://twitter.com/minor_shan if you'd like to chat about the show, get links to my occasional commentary and/or plot speculating blog posts, and random non-fic OUAT art projects (videos, photoshop projects, etc). Give me a quick hello and I'll follow you back.

Same goes with my Tumblr, Storybrooke Pigeon Post, where my other Once Upon a Time art, theories, and general discussion goes.

My latest obsession: "Once Upon a Time". Check out my youtube videos:

"Fall Awake - "Did You Ever Doubt I'd Find You? (Snow, James, Emma, Henry)"

"Bittersweet" - "All Magic Comes at a Price"

My Deviant Art page, featuring OUAT wallpapers.

I'm a big enough Mass Effect nerd to photoshop my head onto Shepard's body - but not enough to actually Cosplay. Born in '81 chick in Arizona by way of SoCal. B.A. in History, former squad leader with the UofA Marching Band; currently waiting out the recession as a freelance writer for a few websites.

I (obviously) have a thing for Sci-Fi/Fantasy, and although I don't write much, when an idea does strike it has to be put down on paper or it won't leave me alone.

Pointless info: I'm a musician and like anything from classic punk, like the Buzzcocks, to chick rock, like Liz Phair, to old school Beatles, to the more obscure synthpop and industrial groups like the Echoing Green and And One.

My Hero: I watched the X-Files since it's premiere when I was 13 and yeah I kinda wanted to be Scully. I was tickled when my aptitude tests in high school said I was most suited for a job with the FBI. But sigh of sighs, we all have to grow up to be our own person someday, don't we?

At the moment: Always a gamer, into Mass Effect 2 right now, and somehow ended up writing fic for it.

Somehow I ended up binging on TNT's "Charmed"! As you may or may not be able to tell, Piper is my favorite, but I certainly think all the sisters have their charms (no pun intended). It's probably because just like her I was a shy kid, but can take charge these days, especially in a crisis, grew up with the nickname "Gourmet Girl" because I like to cook, and even have my own blonde love interest who has been with me for 4 years now :D

The fully illustrated "Once and Future Witches" can be found on my website:

Through the magic of photoshop, you can see Prue, Chris, and Paige all in action together, as well as teen and kid versions of all the sisters, recreated using footage from the actor's real childhood roles. It's also finally edited, fixing problems with chapters on this site. I also have Word and PDF files for download there for anyone who'd rather read it offline, or on a portable device. Feedback on this experiment would be VERY appreciated! I'll continue to update here as I finish the fic.

Other places I can be found in the series of tubes that are the internet, if you feel like dropping by:
