Finales always make me want to write fanfiction
I’m so bursting with ideas.
But I’m too busy.
Most of my old fanfiction is here.
Keep in mind, I wrote the Kenshin stories when I was in college. *laugh* I haven’t read them in many a moon.
I also stopped writing my Doctor Who fics….
But Legend of Korra makes me want to pick up my pen again. I probably won’t. Maybe.

*A lot of the answers I gave were attributed to Mike, and vice versa, but hey, that happens, especially in phone interviews. As a result, this is an interview with Brychael.
The end is near.

Even excluding maternity coverage, the National Women’s Law Center found that nearly one-third of the most commonly sold insurance plans charged women aged 25 to 40 at least 30 percent more than men for the same coverage.
