Bio:
I'm a QAF fanatic and make sure to watch my favourite eps once a week. I have only been writing since September 2016 and find that I have to get at least one chapter done a day!
With regards to my writing, there will always be the following constants:
Brian and Justin will always be together, though past tricks may come back to into their lives
Anti-Michael and ant-Lindsay...with their behaviour leading to break up of his, and maybe, her relationship with their partners, which leads me to...
Ben and Mel's characters written with more backbone and more insight respectively to their partners behaviour than in the series...
Although I will write them in an unlikeable way from time to tiime as well as other characters, but not as much as Michael and Lindsay.
Strong original female character
Foodcentric...am also a food whore!
Furballs...I absolutely love cats and dogs so one or both will feature.
And as I live in London some of my words/phrases will be different to the American English but will try and catch as many as I can.
I hope you enjoy the stories I write and know I will enjoy the stories I read
Wants versus Needs.... That's what Justin Taylor's life has come down to. Having traveled the world as a dancer, Justin now faces the choice between continuing his lucrative career or rebuilding the tumultuous life he'd left behind in Pittsburgh. Enter Brian Kinney with an offer he may not want to refuse.

Happy dance for new chapter! And ice cold shower for their first time...let me have you = swoonsome!
So how is Lindsey going to play this one out...surely she's not going to align herself with the odious Taylors to get rid of Justin right? And Michael has been scarily quiet...exits stage left repeatedly hitting most recent tab
Author's Response:
Oh trust me, Michael is NOT far away. in fact he will be in the next chapter (BOOOooooo!! LOL). Lindsay has a lot of 'splaining to do when the sonogram results come back. In the meantime, I wouldn't put anything past her.
So glad that you enjoyed Justin's 'First Time!'
Happy Reading and HUGS,
~Nichelle

Brian Kinney needs a last minute date to join him at a client’s wedding, so he grabs the first available guy he sees - a naive, sheltered, and unsophisticated blond boy that he saves from a mental hospital. A boy who’s got a very unusual past. This is the story of their adventure together. Oh, and Justin doesn’t like wearing shoes for some reason . . .

Justin moves to New York. He runs into an old acquaintance of Brian's, who is going to play a big role in their relationship, testing its strength. It's one of the most emotional stories I've written so far.

Well dang! Ooh cannot wait to read the next instalment. Seriously where do the idiot twins get off...oh that's right in their imagination because they are not in the real world where Brian would touch them with someone else's...you get me
