- Been a while since I updated this page. Essentially I've been working on my BtVS story, Original Prankster. I have the majority of it completed and so will continue updating more regularly. I've also updated OP's cover art. My Castle story (Cat and Fiddle) on the other hand is on hold for the foreseeable future.

- Still working on next chapter of Cat and Fiddle but have had a lot of other type of Castle stories cross my mind so I banged one out a one-shot in a couple of hours entitled "Killing Time." Not nearly as bloody as one might think from a crime show but it's essentially C and B taking a personality test about the show Firefly. I found out later that Nathan Fillion took a similar quix in real life and ended up as Inara, which I found to be very interesting. It's rated T and genre is Humor/Friendship and not very long, just 3k. But if you need a laugh and some fun Castle and Beckett banter then check it out.

- Took a brief break from writing chapter five to create a second artwork for the story which can be found here:

I'm still learning the ropes so nothing too crazy but I think it turned out well.

- Given how it can be difficult to see the CAF cover art on FFN I uploaded it to my new deviantart page here:

Admittedly this is my first real attempt at something with GimpSHOP (in the past I worked mostly with photosop) and I have a lot to learn still but I think it gets the story's message across very nicely. I'll be adding others as the story moves along. Enjoy!

- The Cat and The Fiddle now has a cover art! I'm no master at the GIMPshop but I think it's suitable. Hopefully my skill will improve in the future. In any case, it gets across some of the main underlying themes of the story. ENJOY!

- Finished the overall arch today for Cat and the Fiddle so I definitely know now what I have to do. I don't know how long the story will end up being but I do not plan on rushing it. I'll keep the updates coming at a good consistent pace but we're in for a long ride.

LATEST UPDATES:

I've missed my normally weekly update deadline by a margin now but my latest chapter is going long and I'm having trouble wrapping it up. That aside I did suffer a minor medical emergency tonight and I won't be able to finish the rest of the chapter off this weekend as I had planned. Next week Cat and Fiddle will be updated but until then I ask for your patience.

A Gem of a Soul by Baphrosia reviews
Ever wonder what would have happened if Spike hadn't lost the Gem of Amarra to Buffy? If he'd won that fight instead? Warning, this story starts out very dark. Evil vampire, after all.

Original Prankster reviews
Buffy isn't about to forget how Spike played her and the Scoobies in taking down Adam but neither can she kill him. Alone for the summer she decides to show him that slayers can play games too. The Spuffy Cold War heats back up this summer as Slayer and Vampire wrestle for control the only way they can. Who will blink first? Post S4 with all spoilers in play.

Wasting Police Resources reviews
It's another long and uneventful day at the 12. So what's a writer and his muse to do? Take a personality quiz about Firefly of course. If you've seen that show, great. If not it's still a fun read and absolutely no spoilers. Takes place season 4.
