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!

*************************************
What if Brian had taken the job in New York in season 1? After three years in New York, Brian returns home to Pittsburgh to find that things and more importantly people have changed.
This was one of my first attempts at fan fiction and I am not 100% happy with it. Still I decided that some people might like and appreciate it anyway.

The scene we would've all preferred to have watched… TAG
Author's Response: Thanks, Tag. I appreciate your comments. I so wanted Justin to fight for what he wanted, and not give up. Sorry for delay in responding, but life gets in the way sometimes.
This was a plot bunny that was posted several months ago by Tatiana Rita Rampin. I am sure it wasn’t exactly what she had in mind but it is what my imagination created after thinking about it.
This story is an alternative storyline for what happened after Chris Hobbs bashed Justin during prom at the end of Season 1 and what happens when Craig Taylor gets involved.

It's amazing how fast Justin is getting better now that he's with Brian. TAG

They say knowing someone loves and supports you, changes everything. LOL

Glad Justin seems to be improving so fast. TAG
Author's Response:
I don't like seeing him in distress, LOL. Soon he will be distressed but with anger to his father.

Why am I worried that a restraining order won't keep Craig under control for long…TAG

I'm not quite sure exactly what the point was of Brian's confrontation with Craig. I am on Justin's side; it wasn't a good idea and Brian would've been better off staying home with his Sunshine. TAG
Author's Response:
Sometimes Brian just has to 'do' something. Sort of like when he glued the seat of the toilet for the judge.

Nice cliff hanger there. 😉 TAG

I hope Justin's headaches get better... TAG
Author's Response:
Headaches can be so debilitating. He needs to get this figured out before the baby comes.

Lovely ending. Thanks for writing. TAG
Author's Response:
Thanks! A Mother's Hate will come out after I finish my other series.
Justin is coming up on his fortieth birthday, not that he cares. He’s lived the life of Riley since he was seventeen. But now he’s back home, at the request of his father. What he wants after kicking him out all those years ago he doesn’t know.
