Bio:
I wasa REALLY late comer to the QAF world - I didn't have cable back when the show was on. I only discovered it in Nov. 2011 when I came across it on DVD at my local public library. I instantly fell in love - this has to be one of the greatest love stories ever told and I can't get enough. I never was a fan fic reader, writer or anything prior to QAF. Now, I'm pretty much obsessed.
Hope you all enjoy my stories! I know that I've enjoyed writing them more than I ever thought I would. TAG

“Fanfiction is what literature might look like if it were reinvented from scratch after a nuclear apocalypse by a band of brilliant pop-culture junkies trapped in a sealed bunker. They don't do it for money. That's not what it's about. The writers write it and put it up online just for the satisfaction. They're fans, but they're not silent, couchbound consumers of media. The culture talks to them, and they talk back to the culture in its own language.” Lev Grossman

5/21/15 - Three years in now and I've posted twenty stories - 18 are complete and two are long-term WIPs - for a total of more than 1.25 million words. I've hosted two writing challenges, helped out a couple new writers by doing some beta work and hosted an internationally attended online QAF marathon. In the last year I also wrote my first original story, which is a major accomplishment I never dreamed I'd complete. I'd never have done any of that without the inspiration of QAF. Fanfic really CAN change lives! TAG

5/21/16 - It's the fourth anniversary of my posting my first fanfic story! I'm up to twenty-four stories for a grand total of over 1.75 Million words of fiction! Wow! Thank you to all my readers, my fellow writers and my wonderful friends in this fandom for keeping me motivated and writing.
~**~**~**~
5/21/17 - WOW! Five years writing QAF fanfic - can you believe it? And in that time I’ve completed 36 stories totalling just short of 2.5 million words of fiction. On top of all that, I’ve helped estable Kinnetik Dreams and have make scores of wonderful friends. Thank you to this wonderful fandom for enabling all that. I love you all!
~**~**~**~
5/21/18 - I can’t believe I’ve only been writing QAF fanfic for SIX years. I’m so connected to this fandom now that it feels like a part of my life. I’m super proud of my work over this past year. Along with my co-author, SunshineSally, I actually got one of my stories published! Add to that that my works total 43 stories and over 3,000,000 words of fiction. And I owe it all to this wonderful show, Queer As Folk, that inspired me.
~**~**~**~**~
5/21/19 - On the 7th Anniversary of posting my first story, I find myself still enjoying this fanfic stuff as much as ever. As of today I've written over 3.4 million words of fidction, including 51 stories and self-published my first book. Wow! Hopefully, by the end of this year, my second book will be published too. Who knows what will come next. Thanks for joing me on this amazing journey.
~**~**~**~**~
5/21/20 - It’s the 8th Anniversary of my first posted story. Unfortunately, this year is different for so many reasons. I wasn’t able to write as much this past year because I was trying to sort out my personal and professional life. I didn’t even attempt NaNoWriMo. But then COVID19 came and wrecked all my plans anyway so... Still, I added 3 more novel-length stories to my name, including one I’m shopping around to get published and another that’s semi-autobiographical and almost killed me to write. My total is more than 3.7 million words & 55 stories. And I’m still here!
*~~*~~*~~*~~*
5/21/22 - This will be the TENTH ANNIVERSARY of when I posted my very first QAF story! I can barely belive it. Ten years of writing and I owe it all the this amazing show that was the catalyst for my writing journey. Since then I've writen/published *29* novel-length stories. I've published *7* of those books plus done one audiobook. I'm working on publishing and 8th now as well as doing the second audiobook. And I'm still writing QAF fanfic because I can't stop. Thank you for reading!

Date: Apr 19, 2017 Title: Chapter 3: Chapter 3: SQUARE ONE
Grrrr - hate Stockwell so much! Glad to see that the lawyers are gonna pursue a civil suit against Hobbs though - that was always one of my biggest pet peeves with the show. It's a no brainer case - especially after Hobbs confesses to the criminal case. After that, the only real question is damages - ie how much $ Justin can collect. He wouldn't have to worry about Craig paying for college or anything else ever again. Oops, better put my lawyer hat away and go back to reading. Lol. TAG
Date: Apr 16, 2017 Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 2: WHAT DREAMS MAY COME
I've got my 'Justice Warrior' hat on today, which means I liked your chapter but I would have had Daphne get much tougher with her speech. *sigh* I just hate injustice. I just hate that we still live in a world where idiots think what something like Hobbs did is at all okay. I just finished watching footage of the Alt-right attacks on the Tax March in Berkeley and the instigators there were spouting the same shit as Hobbs said in this TV series that's 20 yrs old. How can this STILL be happening? How can we stop this? We all need to be Daphne and speak up. Damn it! . . . Okay, rant over. Sorry about that. Great chapter. Apparently it got me really riled up. TAG
Date: Apr 15, 2017 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1: HOW DID YOU GET HERE?
I have to read this over cause I got lost. But that means you'll get all new reviews too - we'll both be winners that way! TAG

Love the idea of George Schickle being Justin's uncle! So many ideas there. Lol. TAG
Date: Apr 19, 2017 Title: Chapter 4: Chapter 4: EYES WIDE OPEN
Can't believe you're writing Michael in such a non-negative light. Lol. Now, Lindsey on the other hand is being a total shrew. We so need to get rid of her. TAG

So when is somebody going to take me up on my offer to show them all these fun Oregon sights? TAG
You'd think it was a Christmas fic wouldn't you? If that's what you're looking for - best to just move on - ‘cause there is no Santa here...
...instead, what we really have is a series of snippets in which our favorite QAF characters happen to overhear the boys in the throes of passion - and can hardly believe their ears...
Some canon - some definitely not - some that could be - with timelines that work for this story - all showing a ‘depth of love' that is only Brian/Justin - and for me, will always be!

"miracles still happen" . . . Like Brian being all silly and romantic? Lol. So sweet! TAG
yeah - made the OOC tag necessary - but it was what brought my muse along on this one - a new take on the things that Brian only allows behind closed doors, but with the added element of unknown voyeurs viewing the moments thanks for the encouragement Charle

Date: May 21, 2016 Title: Chapter 2: 2 - What Your Parents Wish They Didn't Know...And May Never Forget
Deb, Carl & Jenn - the unconventional parental units. Love that. TAG
Author's Response:
yeah...not to mention Tucker...my own father was much older than my mom, and so my brothers from his first marriage were only a few years younger than my mom so I understand more than most how awkward this must have been for Justin being so close in age to Jenn's lover - I just like the idea that they found their way to being a loving, but definitely unconventional family - more OOC - but its where this story went
glad you love it

Ah, the reconciliation! See what you can accomplish when you actually talk, guys? Lol. At least Mel's on their side this time. TAG
Justin has been back from New York for a week and in that time the "family" just wouldn't leave him and Brian alone to enjoy their reunion. There have been countless calls demanding Brian produce Sunshine, unannounced visits and several walk-ins performed by Michael, of course.
On one such evening, as Brian and Justin are in the middle of foreplay, Michael barges in and without regard to what he interrupted demands that they join him and the guys for a night out at Woody's. When Emmett suggests a "couple's pool game," Brian and Justin have to decide if the stakes are too high -- Freedom from Family vs. Learning to Share. Who will win the Tawdry Tournament?
