Queen Jane Approximatelyhide bio
 Author has written 3 stories for Outsiders. Writing fanfiction is something I am not currently actively pursuing. It's been such a long time since I've written any, and focusing on original work is much more aligned with where my head is at now. There are a lot of things I am grateful to this website for with regards to my writing, though, most especially (this is going to sound very extra, but it's the truth) allowing me a safe space to express myself and providing me with a unique creative outlet for the better part of my high school years. I created this account when I was 14 and nearing the end of eighth grade, and I'm 28 now, which is kind of outrageous. Don't Think Twice, It's All Right remained unfinished for a long period of time and I'm sorry for that! While I had every intention of completing it eventually, I didn't have much of a plan for where to take it after a certain point and I made the mistake of letting it get away from me. The more time that went by, the harder it was for me to pick up where I left off. I'm thankful for every person who was kind enough to review, offer constructive criticism, or send me messages. It meant a lot to me during that time. As of February 2018, I have removed Don't Think Twice, It's All Right from the site, the main reason being that there are a few parts that I would really like to rework and develop into original fiction - certain lines of dialogue and paragraphs that would be unrecognizable as fanfiction - and so I'd rather not have any of it still "published." Because my three one-shots could easily stand alone as original fiction with some revision, I am planning to do the same with them at some point, but for now I am leaving them up here. I think they represent some of my best writing done as a teenager. I was proud of them then, and I still am now. Though I don't anticipate being active on this site as far as writing is concerned, I still read here and there and I'm pretty active on most social media platforms. Here are the ones I use most often and where you can find me: Twitter: @crrystalvisions I can also be reached by PM or e-mail: americanhighwayflower@yahoo.com. :) |

The Butterfly Effect by thermodynamic reviews
Jasmine Curtis never thought that having a female role model was important. In retrospect, finding her one should've been the least of her social worker's concerns.
