I've been writing since middle school when I wrote silly original fiction where my characters had powers based on different colors. I also wrote Supernatural fanfiction exclusively for myself. It was AIM fic where my OC was in a chat room with her friends talking about how Sam and Dean died. (I wrote it right after the season one finale.)

Supernatural fanfic was what I cut my teeth on. It was one of the first kinds of fanfiction that I read and it was certainly the first kind of fanfiction that I wrote. My favorite OC started her fictional life as a Winchester sibling and she still bears their last name as a kind of tribute to that history I have with the fandom.

Then came Twilight. I loved Twilight. I also hated how Stephenie Meyer portrayed vampires. As someone who read Dracula at he ripe old age of 9 - yes, my mother should have been supervising me more at the library but as the mother of someone who said "I want to read real books!" around six, she was doing her best - I knew what vampires could be and I was pissed that Twilight was doing such a disservice to them. I also somehow managed to come out of this early experience as neither Team Jacob nor Team Edward. I was Team James and I wrote my first longfic about just that.

In fact, Stephenie Meyer's vampires pissed baby me off so much that I started writing my own fiction. (I brought my writing origins up to a friend recently and they called me "a bizarro version of EL James" and they're not wrong.) Sometime in either late middle school or early high school I wrote my first novella length work as part of the NaNoWriMo challenge (RIP NaNo, I only finished you like three times, but I'll miss you forever.) . It was very typical YA vampire romance and I'm devistated to say that it no longer exists anywhere. Unless, of course, my middle school bestie still has her printed copy somewhere.

These days I have a kinda complicated relationship with writing. I haven't written anything of any substance since the fall of 2018, but I have been brewing things up behind the scenes. My latest project involves a lot of world building that I should have dont in 2018, but I kinda just hand waved it like oh I don't need to know how magic works. And then I decided to write a story that focuses on a wizard. I now need to know how magic works.
