3/15/2017: It has been forever. But I finally managed to finish something and post it. I have done next to no writing in the past I don't want to think about how many years. My goal going forward is to slowly start getting myself back into writing, both fanfiction and some original ideas I have floating around in my brain, but I do not want to make any promises because this has been rough. But know I have every intention of finishing previously begun projects, but completion will depend on my health.

Criminal Acts & sequel: The epilogue is finished. I am waiting to post this until I start posting the sequel (currently untitled) so people who wish to can easily follow the second story. For the sequel, I have 2 1/2 chapters finished as well as a general outline as to what is going to happen in the long term. I will likely not start posting the story until I have first drafts of every chapter done, simply because I don't want people to read a bit of it and then have to wait for the next chapter. I like to post 1 or 2 chapters a week once it starts going up on the site. I'm also looking for someone to beta read it for me. If you are interested, drop me a line. I would like someone who's really willing to rip it apart so I can fix all the flaws I miss as the story's creator.

First and foremost, though I'm not sure how many people actually read these profiles, I want to apologize for those of you who may be waiting for the end of Criminal Acts and the sequel, as well as the sequel to Crashing Down. I have been rather ill and my return to writing has been slow as the healing process has been a major roller coaster of ups and downs. I promise that the stories I have on my plate will, at some point, be finished, because I am too invested in them to do otherwise. But I beg patience and understanding. Generally, I have found in my fifteen years posting fanfic that the community in general is awesome, so I have no qualms about posting my difficulties and assuming understanding. I appreciate it, as I appreciate the fact that you all read and seemingly enjoy my stories.

That being said, I want to thank everyone who's been reading my work. It really makes me feel good to go to the traffic page and see people from all over the world reading (and hopefully enjoying!) what I write. I absolutely love it, and wish I had more time to dedicate to working on these things. But they will get done eventually , slowly and surely, because it's a great escape. At any rate, here's what I have on my plate currently, in no particular order:

1. The Epilogue and sequel to Criminal Acts. This, as you may have noticed, is taking me an exceptionally long time. Unfortunately, since I finished posting Criminal Acts both life problems and my own chronic illness have sapped my creativity and, generally, kicked my butt. I promise that I am still dedicated to the project, I just need a lot of patience. Criminal Acts itself took me over a year to write.

2. Avengers fics. Particularly a group of them dealing with my Phil Coulson headcanon. Believing in Heroes is the first of these and there may be more because Coulson is seriously a BAMF and if I weren't already married and he were real I would be all over that. Just saying.

3. A smattering of Dragon Age fanfics I've started but haven't finished.

4. Mass Effect fics I've started but haven't finished. Bioware, seriously, your character design makes it impossible to NOT want to write these characters. Especially Garrus. Jesus, I love that turian.
