Hey, thanks for the praise, Bubbly! Funny, I never really thought of it as "epic", but sure, why not? And yes, it IS heavy on romance (I admit, I started this thing when I WAS a teen fan-girl"), and yes, it DOES contain an OC- though I don't really consider her a Mary Sue- no powers, not "perfect", and certainly not a mutant. (Just an ordinary young woman with a strange and rather messed up connection to the TMNT through her past- that's all I'm sayin'....) Quite a few flaws on this gal, actually.

I will say that it's a bit more mature, like some others on ff.net, though not overly descriptive (heh, at least not YET....) of love scenes or anything particularly gory or dark. At worst, I'd label it a "rated R". Not so much for content as the theme. And a few plot-twists that might be a bit more mature than some readers like.

Anyway, if anyone's interested, it is here:

And if that doesn't float your boat, my personal fave that I've done (ie, I consider this one my BEST) is this:

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9407947/1/Goodbye-Father

Warning- be prepared for a tear-jerker there.....

I also have some non-TMNT stuff in there, and a cross-over that has been really fun to write- with Gargoyles!!

Yes, a personal favorite of mine is "Little Mikey".

I'm a fan of TMNT as well as the written word, so you bet I enjoy reading fanfiction. I've always seen writing as a form of art which I'm also a fan of, believe it or not. Yes, I'm talking about paintings and drawings. Wild, huh? Anyway, I read allot of ff, especially TMNT. I wish I had time to write, but school is kicking my butt these days, so I've read quite a bit of dromer fanfiction during my spare time in order to take a break from it all. I can't think of a story which hasn't drawn me into the world of TMNT. Everything I've read has been one hell of a ride so far.

When it comes to actually dissecting stories, I don't do any of that. That probably takes allot of the joy out of reading stories. It's always been more exciting for me to let a story be a story, and to enjoy the ride. I think it'd be a treat to gain insight via the author after having read a fanfic, but only after. Call it something akin to DVD bonus features if you like. If forewords/afterwords are included, you bet I'm going to read those. Don't have time to explain why at the moment, but I'm a sucker for authors' notes. Tests to study for at present, so more on that in this or some other thread at a later date, maybe.

True, but I just have little interest in writing by myself.

You like authors' notes, huh? Then I bet you'd love Piers Anthony's books. He has ALWAYS included a fairly lengthy one in each of his books. Though the books themselves are almost always a treat, so are the notes. In fact, he is the ONE writer who first inspired me to write. (Although my love of Anne McCaffrey didn't hurt!) I guess I have him to thank (blame?) for my love of reading, writing, humor and fantasy. And my mom, of course, who has always encouraged me in both, and whose book collection was always open for me to pick up anything I wanted to! Took me to places as diverse as Mars, Holmes's London, prehistoric Europe, Chincoteague Island, a little farm where pigs and spiders talk, Xanth, Middle Earth, Pern, and everywhere in between.....

I hear you there, BT. I've always considered writing as a form of art and one of my art professors in college even said writing could be considered art. We were supposed to submit something to put on display, and I explained that I wasn't very good at drawing. Well, he told me that I could write something instead, so I wrote a poem about TV and some of the shows I liked. It turned out pretty well, and I even got to read it in front of the class. Everyone loved it and thought it was good, so I've always considered writing as a form of art since it is a form of expression.
