Welcome to Les Contes des Fées. This community serves as the archives for Spiceandnice's (real name: Ginger) fanfiction.

I have been writing fanfiction for a little over a decade, back when I was in junior high school. An avid writer and reader, there were so many sources of inspiration that I wanted to address, but I always felt a bit silly writing fanfic--so I kept it hidden. It wasn't until I became obsessed with Buffy the Vampire Slayer that I came out of hiding, and have been writing fanfic ever since.

Presently, I write, tutor high school students, and edit for a living. Which is my explanation for why updates to this community will most likely be slow. When you are writing eight hours a day for a living, it can be hard at times to find the motivation to come right back home and do it some more for fun. But I do try. :)

As of right now, I only have works for the television show Ugly Betty. I have written fics for other ships, but some of them are years old and embarrassingly scribed. I hope to change this soon, though, and expand my fanfic.

Typically, I write fanfic for movies or television shows because it's a lot easier to adapt my style and find a character's voice. Writing fanfic based on books is difficult because readers have expectations for me to match the exact style. tone, etc. of the original author, That's impossible--I'm not them, I can only do what I do best. However, there are some books that are so delicious I am tempted to dabble, so you never know.

The following Ships are good likelihoods of ones that may pop up here:

TV: Henry/Betty (Ugly Betty), Gio/Betty (Ugly Betty), Buffy/anyone (BtvS), Josh/Donna (West Wing), Robert/Kitty (brothers&&sisters), and Luke/Lorelei (Gilmore Girls)

Books: Harry Potter, Twilight series, Pride and Prejudice
