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!

Oh! 'Poor Brian' doesn't really seem to cut it here. This is going to be so hard on the Studly One. Please hurry with the next chapter! TAG
Author's Response:
We know, right? Poor guy. Working on the next one now :)
Date: Jan 25, 2017 Title: Chapter 3: Chapter 3
So glad to see a new chapter, even if the angst meter went up drastically with this one. Can I just use my standard 'Poor Brian' comment for this and all subsequent chapters? LOL. TAG
Author's Response:
Haha, you can most definitely say that - as that is mostly what has been going through my head as we have written it. We're glad you're excited by new chapters of this. Lots more to come for 'Poor Brian.' :)
Date: Apr 05, 2017 Title: Chapter 4: Chapter 4
Ugh! This is going to be so hard for Brian, but all the people around him are just going to make it worse. I don't think I have enough 'poor Brians' for this story. Lol. TAG
Author's Response:
Thanks for reviewing, it's going to be tough for him, and you're right, people aren't going to know how to act around him - but some people may surprise you :)
After an accident that nearly kills him, Brian has a long road to recovery. While he knew deep down that it would be a rough road, he wasn't prepared for something like this.
Huge thanks to Annie_Eliza for my spiffy new banner :)

Author's Response:
Thanks, lovely, and I'd never have got there without you!
Date: Apr 06, 2017 Title: Chapter 16: Chapter 16
Amazing chapter. You did so well - with not only the sex scenes but Brian's confession. I saw another person comment that it's difficult to write Brian as a vulnerable person while still keeping him in character, but you did a great job. Now for the Recovery part, right? TAG
Author's Response:
Thank you so much for your help with this, you have always been a great soundboard to bounce ideas off of, but I hope that I surprised you somewhat with the scene at the end. This was definitely very difficult to write because I didn't want to make Brian come across as weak (even though he wasn't at all) or too vulnerable, yet this scene needed him to emotionally lose it a little. But I hope it stayed as true to character as it could have :)
Definitely now on to the recovery - hopefully :)
Brian and Justin go Whitewater rafting in the Pacific Northwest!

I chose this story because it is not your typical Brian and Justin story. Also it deals with a subject that is very important to me. I lost a friend due to the lack of a donor -Lorie
Life has always been a constant struggle for eighteen year-old Justin Taylor, until one fateful day at the diner when he meets the man known as the Stud of Liberty Avenue, Brian Kinney. Both of their lives are changed forever in a way that neither of them ever anticipated.

BTW - did imention how much I love the extent to which you researched this? You're a fact junkie just like me! Kudos. TAG
Chris Hobbs' life has sucked ever since his first encounter with Justin Taylor. Five years later he's living in a crappy apartment and working an even crappier job and he blames it all on Taylor. Because of Taylor he lost his football scholarship, didn't graduate from college and is estranged from his family and former friends. Now he wants revenge!
The story starts the night of the bombing of Babylon. . . .

Flip a coin... any coin! But what happens when two sides of the same coin meet? Brian Kinney and Justin Taylor are about to find out. And what happens when the two aloof men find themselves breaking all of their self-imposed rules? Guaranteed mayhem!
