Bio:

Hiya...love reading interracial romances and attempting to write a few.  I'm an anthropology major but I love to read. Oy...this bio sounds awful.  I'm Haitian-American who was born in Haiti, raised in New York City (Harlem) and lives currently in Paris, France.


================================================


 


As far as my fics.  I decided to take a chance and write a few.  They will be a mixture of Original fics and fanfics.  For the fanfics---they will be geared toward interracial pairings I guess---on shows.  Since those seems to be shows I'm watching or one in particular which is Justified. In regards to the original fics, I focus entirely on various interracial pairings with some constants:  Black women---always and sometimes Black men. But Black women are the lead female.  Lead males are culturally different from East Asian to West Asian, to European, to Latin American and so on and so forth.


 


Other constants.


1. Lead females characters are always virgins.  I write about those I can relate too---so as one--I write about them. 


2. Minor female characters---not always virgins. 


3. 97% of Female leads will have locs.  As a woman with locs I promote locs and natural hair.  I do not in any way support relaxers and will not feature women like that as my primaries and probably not minors.  If they have a relaxer or weave---they'll probably be a villain.


 


Just a heads up.  :D

Title: Chapter 2: Two

Great start.  I hate and like Coffee Prince.  My issues was two fold.  I hated the fact the female character basically made the guy question his sexuality.  To me that is an extremely deep issue.  And the execution of such an issue is as bad when people include rape in a fiction.  It can never seem to be done properly---and should just not be carried out.   To twist the mind of someone in that way is not something cool---and she did---to kiss the guy when he thinks your a guy---oy. 

Actually it's degrading and humiliating to for the other person.  I felt the writers (I think the Hong Sister's) did not successfully convey that issue properly and I find it takes a story into another direction.  It could be why I appreciated Hana Kimi (the Jdorama) so much more...since the boy found out on his on and very early on it was a girl but allowed her to continue to carry out her lie as a boy and not even informing her that he knew she was a girl.  I felt that was properly executed---he got to understand her reasoning and made sure to put her in awkward positions without being thrust into a sexuality debate himself. 

Coffee Prince just made it seem almost degrading to me.  I actually didn't want the leads ending up together after that issue...because that is just too big a lie for a relationship.  Admittedly I have issues with lies in any relationship even if it makes for good conflict.  Confilct can arise from outside issues rather than between the two people who are in a relationship.  Second problem was the end.  The guy proposed and she didn't even give him an "I Love You..." or that she would even marry him.  In the end...he seemed more enthralled than she was with him---this is after her studying in Italy.  However it could also be YEH's acting, but the lines didn't give her the opportunity to even show that she really loved him.  He ended up sacrificing himself and everything for her.  She did nothing but what she wanted.  She wanted to kiss him, while he thought she was a boy---and she did.  Making him suffer.  Then he finds out it was a lie.  She apologizes all is right.  Then she wants to go to Italy and he supports her--for years too.  And she goes.  Then she gives the impression she wants to do more and marrying him is not really on her list. It just left me disappointed.

Anyway CP had a few problems for me.  Hopefully this is story is not 100% married to the entire CP storyline.  But the beginning is very engaging.  I'm actually currently writing my own for a few Kdrama's I truly enjoyed. And none of them include YEH---although I've seen all her dramas.  I wonder why that is.  Anyway I plan on reading the second chapter when it comes out.  You're an extremely talented writer.



Author's Response:

What a thougthful response. I know what you're saying with CP but I'd say that's really a product of most gender bender fiction. There is always a point that the male character stops to question himself and why "another man" incites these sorts of feelings out of him. CP leans towards the melodramatic aspect of this genre while Hana Kimi (and something like Ouran Koukou Host Club) lean towards the comedic aspect, so I think that's possibly why they approach this topic so differently.

I agree that the end of CP was weak, much weaker than the beginning, but I blame that slightly on the two episode extension. I do agree that she looked selfish in the end but at the same time he was willing to go along with it so I don't struggle with it as much.

The story is definitely not 100% married to CP but it does have definite similarities. So if you found CP frustrating then you might find this story frustrating at times too. I'll keep an eye out for your story. When Kdramas are on, they're some of the best entertainment out there.

Thanks for the feedback. :)

Title: Chapter 17: Chapter 17

Another great story.  Melissa is a nut case.  Plain and simple and to see that Grant's dad was this bad is out of control.  I wonder if his gramps was alive--I can see Grant's grandfather saying something along the lines of Grant's father being more spoiled than Paris Hilton. I'm really enjoying the story and I'd like to see where this is going with Nathan.  I would have liked, even more than an adoption, is Grant setting up a special internship for kids showing extraordinary talents in public schools in the area.  That would be really great and phenomenal.    Maybe not even limited there---but to orphan kids in general. However I'm liking this.  I would love to see Nathan interacting with his uncles as well.  Which leads me into another question.  Any chance of Tracy hooking up with Grant's older brother---the workaholic lawyer it sounded like or maybe accountant--can't tell with the word "firm."   Tracy seems to have way too  much time on her hands and Grant's older brother---not enough.  I see potential love match.  Another great read.

Title: Chapter 13: Chapter 13

I'm starting to be suspicious if it was ever really Nick's father who was disappointed Nick never followed in his footsteps.  More and more it seems it was Ming who was controlling everything and probably the one the most upset.  Kandice is a parasite. I hope Nick knows what he's gotten himself into.  Kandice is hell bent on ruining not only Alicia's life but even her own.  I seriously htink that Kandice will break the contract and I hope that Nick follows through with any punishment he sees fit if she does.   I really hate Kandice's character---she doesn't deserve someone as good as Alicia for a goodness or even someone to rely on.  I'm also extremely upset about Alicia's mum.   What kind of mother prefers Kandice over her own daughter.  Makes you wonder.   Great chapter and I can't wait for more.  Plus I hope Nick's dad finds Karen and ends up with her.  Ming doesn't seem like someone I'd like to be around.

Title: Chapter 11: Meet the team.

Amazing story.  You know how to weave a great tale here.  I loved this story a lot...and I love where this is going.  Kevin has surrounded himself with a lot of horrible women, that's for sure.  It would be so great if before he leaves both Grace and him find a new apartment.  I say this because I'm under the distinct impression that Sara will try some dirty dealing to get Grace to fall out of grace (pun intended ^_^) with Kevin.   On one side I'd like the Rina's baby to be Kevin's because I don't trust anyone else taking care of the baby.  I don't trust Rina and when she said that Kevin would be the best dad out of the bunch...that says a good deal.  However, on the other side, I don't want Kevin involved with this woman--she's a parasite and very unhealthy and would be unhealthy for Kevin and Grace's relationship.  However, if she's (being Rina) willing to give up her rights as parents even if Kevin isn't the father--since she probably won't be getting help from anyone and she doesn't want a a kid anyway---I'm cool with that.  Plus that kid would have the life with Kevin/Grace and co--I'd love to see the kids faces when they see the kid.

I do have one request...Grace's friends need some guys too.  I would love them paired up with a footballer or even the coach or whoever.  You could turn this story into a series.  I could so see Grace's friends---especially the cop one having a field day with a footballer.  Actually I could see her taking him down in 5 seconds flat with a few choice moves to the neck, solar plexus, and groin.  ^_^  

I'm really loving th story and I hope you keep at it.

Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1

The introductory chapter was great.  I noticed that a lot with your men. They are instantly attracted and take the initiative to pursue the women, no hold's bar, that is very commendable in my book.  The women seem as equally attracted and don't beat around the bush or play hard to get.  Not to say their easy, far from it---they just know what they want and they're sure of themselves and I liked seeing that in Elton and A'isha.  Great start and I'm looking forward to the following chapter to see if they'll meet with any hang ups and drama.

I am really enjoying this story and I hope you update it soon.  The pairing is great and I'd like to see some moments betweent them.  Maybe Jason and Aurora sharing a sofa together sleeping (platonic) maybe after watching a movie together.  I'd also like to see Aurora taking care of Jake maybe....that would be a cool thing to have in the story.  No kiss or sex, but friendship for a few more chapters.  I like the way this relationship is progressing.  I hope you update it soon.

I loved this story when I first read it months ago.  I thought you would never update it again.  I'm glad to see my thoughts were wrong.  This was a fun read and I loved Aurora's interaction with Jake.  Hopefully Jake won't die in this story...that would kill me. But I find Elizabeth to be an unfit mum moe than anything.  This is definitely a great read.   I can't wait until things start progressing further for Rory and Jason.  They're a super cute couple.

 

I have a question.  Does Rory identify herself as a Black (multicultural) woman?  Just wondering?  And secondly, you don't have to do this but I find it slightly irritating...the centered text.  Is it possible to just leave it normal with indentention when needed?   

 

I can't wait for the future update.

Just reread the last chapter too.  Although I'm rooting for Rory and Jason, I would love for Rory to meet Lucky.  I get the feeling those two would become the best of friends even inseparable.  Absentee dad's dead or hospitalized mums.   Siblings....irritating Elizabeth pissing them both off.  I'm sure Jason would be able to hook Rory up with a job singing and/or bartending at Luke's club.  Luke's club was popular then.  That would be cool.  I could see Jason's hackles rising at the Lucky/Rory thing...but I can see it being totally platonic on the inside; just for outsiders it looks anything but platonic.    Hey if you do introduce Lucky.  Bring a best friend of Rory's up to Port Charles for him because he deserves better than Elizabeth.

I say pass it to Ares...he's given in to her more often than not.  Great Chapter...by the way I'm back from my hiatus.  I have a question... when will Apollo and Selene make an appearnce.   The age gap between them is bound to be interesting.



Author's Response:

Hey Vaberella, Glad to have you back from your hiatus hope it was restful and productive.

Sorry not sure what we are passing to Ares but he has given in to her when she was right and she has apologized when she was wrong and they are working it out.

The age gap is substantial between all of the Pappas men and the women they are involved with so a Selene and Apollo story will be less about the age differnce and more about whatever angst I can dream up for them. 

Thanks for reading, enjoying, and reviewing. I appreciate it.

Title: Chapter 11: Chapter 11

Yup, you did keep your promise and it was a great chapter.  I was really worried about Amber there.  I knew she wouldn't be outright evil, but I had the impression she might not be on the good side.  Glad to see that she's on our side and healthy.  I'm loving the tension between her and Dion. Wow...I wasn't feeling Dion too much---didn't do it for me on attraction (he's Bacchus right?--didn't see that either); but after this chapter---> He's a winner!  I love him. I can't wait until you give some of the other pairings some love.  Like Marina/Sean (I think) and Selene/Apollo (and they got the age gap thing to worry about).  

 

I loved the detail on the three sisters and now I'm wanting to know more about them.  And if the guy they caught was connected to the other bad guys in the picture.   I wonder who Kay is.  This is getting bigger and more convoluted.  The chapter is great and I hope we get a nice make out session between Irene and Ares---cause the peck wasn't satisfying.

I'm glad you updated and I'm happy to R&R for my two most favored stories on this site.    ^_^



Author's Response:

Hey Vaberella, keep in mind though that just because they have auras don't make them 'good' girls and Amber isn't a diva for nothing. Dion isn't the only one who likes drama and she will give him a run for his money. The boys have a way of growing on you and yes his Roman equivalent was Bacchus. As to giving them some love it will take a while I kinda got my hands full. Oh and the age thing is a big deal for all of them considering the guys are all Immortals.

The sisters are characters for sure and going to play a part in the telling of this tale and the others as well. Is convoluted good or bad? Glad you enjoyed the chapter and I'm sorry no make out in this one maybe the next chapter. Ares is chomping at the bit for a little something, something too but he'll have to wait something he's getting good at.

As ever I am glad that you enjoyed and thank you for the R&R it is appreciated.

Title: Chapter 10: Chapter 10

Thanks for answering my Dave Batista question.  I'm glad he's retired--doing it for a few years should always be enough---after a while you need a break from that biz.   It's when guys like him and the Rock come along and I don't hear about them until I retire that I miss watching Wrestling---let's just say it's been a few decades since I gave it up.  Not to mention I was partial to female wrestling anyway (yeah, I'm female).   ^_^  

 

Anyway onto the main reason for my new review.  I love the story, as I've said countless times.  But guess what I saw this weekend.  That's right....I saw FF5 (Fast & the Furious 5).  I'm a big fan of that and I always hated the fact there was NEVER one Black woman in the film.  Fine, the women in it are cool, but Black women can be just as cool.  Of course my tirade is to send a subliminal message to maybe do a story where the women are Black for some of the lead guys---since I love your writing.  But the main reason is because I saw The Rock in it.   And I LOVED his GOATEE.  OH MY GOD!!  OH MY GOD.  Sure the film made him almost like a bear and he was always sweety, but he was breathtaking.   And his GOATEE was something else. 

I was just wondering if you'd let Ares grow a nice full goatee.   Yes, after all I said I was just asking if there was a chance of seeing some goatee caressing.  Because I wanted to do that...and I hate mustaches and beards, but The Rock's was so delectable....it made me think of this story.

We await your update with semi-bated breath.  Cause if it was bated we'd be dead.  ^_^



Author's Response:

Hello Vaberella, Can I say that I love your enthusiasm? First off let me say that I agree with you, I too am glad that Dave is no longer wrestling even though I don't get to see him doing his thing, that is one occupation that is very hard physically, mentally and emotionally on a body. Let him stay healthy and safe and make movies, because he is charasmatic and I wouldn't mind him strutting his stuff on the big or little screen. I stopped watching wrestling when I was a kid and just started again last year so I didn't get to see Dave 'live' so to speak and boy am I kicking myself.

As to Dwayne I'm not sure how I feel about him returning to wrestling but I hope he remains safe also. I have not seen FF5 yet and I'm not sure if I will. I could so easily fall for that goatee as well as the rest of him all over again and although I can multi-task I am not quite that talented. We will see about the goatee thing cause I do love me some facial hair as you can tell from the cast pics. I will put that Fast and Furious idea in my back pocket, unless someone (Read you. Why do I think you might do justice to that story?) beats me to it.

Yes please make it semi-bated breath, I want all of the VC readers to remain very much alive.

Thank you so much for your support V I do appreciate it.

Title: Chapter 10: Chapter 10

By the way...what's up with Amber ditching our girl?  That was out of order.  Also are you going to write up the scene we see in the other story where Ares walks into the room behind Irene to talk to Percy by comp?  I was a bit saddened when I read in the other story that Ares stopped dreamwalking her.



Author's Response:

Hello Varberella, Amber had no control over that as you will see she didn't mean to do that. Yes that particular scene will be in LABTH. Ares only had a limited amount of dreamwalking that he could do which is why he will go to 'supervise' the ORE crew and of course spend quality time with Irene. That means he will get up to all kinds of naughty stuff in the real (can you hear my evil laughter?) Thanks for reading, enjoying and reviewing. You have given me quite a few good laughs.

Title: Chapter 6: Limit to Your Love

Great story.  I am really looking forward to the next installment.  The characters are very interesting.  Although I have to agree with Cooper, Simon needs to let Amber know the truth.  Although, I wouldn't be surprised if Amber was having her own fun.  I say this, because no one just randomly extends a vacation or whatever she went on an extra week---just like that.  There is always another reason. Normally, sexual reasons. I really want to know what Cooper has kept a secret.  Further more, Cooper needs a girl. I'm available Coop.

I think Charly's lucky.  Any chance that Sasha gets Laz?! Cause, Laz is hot! ^_^  Or hope I Sasha gets a hottie.  Anyway it's a good story.  I'm all in.

Title: Chapter 10: Chapter 9

Despite the fact that I did miss you updating this fic.  I remembered what sort of irritated me about Charly...Charly.   Maybe it's because I really like Nicodemus' character and yeah, he's hot.  So she's sort of pissing me off by running off.  This action of hers pisses me off.  Leaving your child.  Really?   There's something so horriby wrong with that.  Especially when she finds the father to be so hateful, why leave your son behind to grow up to be just like him?

Title: Chapter 1: Cast pictures and video summary

Is this it?  I mean that song is great---which reminds me I haven't heard some R.Kelly in a while.  But there's no chapter.  Please update soon---maybe give us a more detailed summary of the story.  Cause it's a list of characters but nothing else.  Unless Chase is having an affair with Odette while married to Kristina----which is wrong on so many levels considering he has a daughter in this.  And Odette agreed to this.  Cause that's the impression the song is giving me....



Author's Response:

Thanks for your comments vaberella!! The song is meant to show the emotions of wanting someone you can't have especially if they belong to someone else. Then it also shows no matter how much you try to do the RIGHT thing...one look or touch will have you doing things or feeling emotions you shouldn't...sort of like looking at forbidden fruit...the longer you look, the more likely you will indulge.  I can tell you that Chase and Odette are GOOD PEOPLE but what happens to good people when they are taken for granted??? More to come...:)

Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1

Great start.  But I have to say.  Maxwell is not crazy or unstable.  That shit would make me want to kill too.  If I worked my ass off and I was famous for a recipe and my wife new---actually USED my success so her life could be so great.  Then she sells the recipe---for probably more money.  Then she has sex with some other guy.  I would want to kill her too.  Actually I would kill.  That's like one's livelihoood down the drain but added to that---the woman took their vows and shoved it up her ass basically. I'm sorry, Sasha is a dirty dealer and I thtink she takes the fault for Maxwell's rage.  Rage makes  you do a lot of stupid things----and everything is on video.  God, I'd be gutted.  I always felt that Samson was a Black man who got fucked by blonde Delilah and sadly Maxwell found his Delilah in Sasha.



Author's Response:

Glad that you like the start of the madness. I have to agree with you on the Maxwell's mental state. Even though I did say that homeboy went mad crazy on his wife, but for real...Sam reacted just like many of us would have if it was us in that situation. Sasha didn't peep, squeak or whispered as her husband lost everything...and she was the cause of it.

If you remember in Full Bloom...CoCo used the knowledge that Sasha was married to get that recipe...wifey must have thought that her husband had more than one copy or that he remembered it by heart...I had to laugh on your comment about Samson and Delilah, because not to long ago, me and my moms were having a debate about that and I said the same damn thing!!! Thanks for reading.

Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 1 Looks Can Be Deceiving

I wasn't expecting to love this story.  But shoot, you got me addicted. It sounds like a great story and I can't wait for more.   I really like the relationship between Lei and Micah.  I get the feeling Micah might outgrow Lei---but maybe he'll surprise me and they'll stick together to the end.  I love Betsy---she's a cool ass mom.  She's a good person and I can see her being a real hero in the story for Joe Bob's family.   I'd even like to find out more about her two older children.
