I'm Joysweeper. I haven't been here all that long, and I know I'm pretty average. I'll get better. I'd appreciate any constructive crits anyone would care to hand out.
I suppose a bio is in order... gee, I've never written one of those before... um...
Joysweeper, also known as Perpetually Distracted, was born on the same day of the month that Kennedy announced the Apollo program in '61, the same day of the month that Star Wars was released in '77. This was in the same year the Exxon Valdez had that oil spill, Nintendo started selling the Game Boy, Tianaman Square's Goddess of Democracy was built, unveiled, and destroyed, the people of the Baltic states joined hands to form a human chain six hundred klicks long as a demand for freedom, the Berlin Wall fell, and Disney's version of "The Little Mermaid" hit theaters. In other words, she's pretty darned young.
She has also displayed a passion for Star Wars, space programs, scifi/fantasy novels, dragons, and video games. Occasionally she has been seen drawing or sculpting things out of clay, but a common complaint is that everything she does turns into some kind of dragon. This isn't the case with her writing, though.
Joysweeper's TSA-related writing primarily takes place in Xanadu (setting). It allows her to mush a number of her interests into a single universe. So far, a distinct preference for Star Wars characters and dragons is pretty evident, but that might change. The curious might do well to check out ShadowWolf's archive(it doesn't get enough traffic).
In an effort to look artsy and distinct, she attempted to create a unique symbol using her computer's Paint program. It turned into a dragon, as did subsequent efforts. Joysweeper was last seen giving up and settling for a stylized fairy-dragon thing.[1]

Posted stories(all from Xanadu):
501st The Five-Oh-First Legion is a fan-based Star Wars organization of cosplayers with Imperial leanings. They're a rather large group, enough so that it's easy to imagine a number of them came to Xanadu. So... what happens when one of the members doesn't go?
Dragon Dancer So four guys come to Xanadu in the kind of Oriental dragon costume you'd expect to find on Chinese New Year. What do you suppose happens after the Event? (I've tried writing a sequel to this. It's trickier than I thought.)
Behjopiray I tried another sequel attempt. It's a bit better, so I'll put it here.
Revan Saga The first piece of this was written way back when I first joined the List. It was followed by many others, and then I realized how flawed they were and have started editing the whole thing. Oh, does it need editing... I'm putting it here so if something happens, I won't lose what's already been written.
More to come, sooner or later.
