I was born in 1973 in Dallas, Texas. When I was six months old, we moved into the house I grew up in. Summer of 1987, my dad was laid off and had a difficult time finding a new job. He finally found one with Pennsylvania Blue Cross Blue Shield so in February 1988, we moved to Pennsylvania. After eighteen months we moved back.
As I mentioned in another post, my brother introduced me to X-men/Marvel Comics. I did not know what fandom was until 2000 when I became part of the bulletin boards for the Sci-Fi Channel shows Farscape and The Invisible Man.
That lead me to making an account on fanfiction.net to read stories in The IMan fandom. That introduced me to slash. I was also able to finally learn more about the X-men through reading fic.
After watching the first X-men movie in late 2000/early 2001, I wrote my first fic. And I hate it, so I'm trying to rewrite it because I do like the plot.
Beyond my fannish life, I have a daughter who is getting married in two months (yikes!) to a man I am excited to call my son.
For work, I do data entry (the company calls me a consignment biller) for a gasoline distribution company. I got the job back in 2015 as a temp and went permanent in 2016. This is the longest I've ever had a job.
While I do have a couple of original stories in progress, I don't think I write well enough to ever make it my main source of income. But that doesn't take away from my enjoyment of putting words on paper and sharing them with the world.
