By popular demand: Actually, because Alestar made me. :p
I'm Kerithwyn Jade, better known as 'rith.
Who am I?
Heck, does it matter? I love comics, always have. I was reading comics when girls just didn’t *do* that kind of thing and we were eyed as alien invaders when we dared to broach the inner sanctum of the comic shops.
Like so many others, I grew up reading the X-Men. For a long time that was the only game in town. Eventually I found other comics that drew me nearly as powerfully, and that was a good thing, because the X-Men had lost their charm—and yeah, that was while Chris Claremont was still writing.
About six years ago I discovered the Legion of Super-Heroes, and they utterly supplanted the mutants forever as my most cherished comic team. I love team books; the dynamic between characters remains as fascinating as ever, though the players change. I can’t resist the good runs of Avengers and Titans, and Busiek’s Thunderbolts, the Levitz Legion, and yes, Claremont’s X-Men.
Then there are the individual characters: Nightwing and Robin and Oracle (thanks to Chuck Dixon), Arsenal (thanks to Devin Grayson), Tempest (thanks to Phil Jimenez), and too many of the Legionnaires to name. I love these characters—these people. They’re part of my life, fictional though they may be.
What a wonder it was to discover the Internet and (pardon) legions of fans who felt as I did, and who expressed that love in writing. Not for publication or money or fame, but for *fun.*
And now I’m having fun, too.
Some cautions:
Much (but not all) of the fiction on these pages contains ADULT CONTENT. Such content will be clearly marked. Stories may be marked m/f (for male/female sex), or “slash,” which indicates sex between characters of the same gender: m/m for male/male and f/f for female/female. If such concept disturbs you, scroll down to something else. “PWP” means Plot, What Plot—an indicator that the story is mostly a sex romp with little other story content, although I do strive to make even the PWPs exercises in character exploration.
The Birds And The Bats subseries: stories set in the Sea & Sky 'verse involving Black Canary, Oracle, Batgirl, Robin, Superboy, Green Arrow, and/or other DCU characters, generally unrelated to the main S&S storyline.
Sea and Sky I: A Sea Change by Dannell. The story that started it all, because I begged Dannell to write it. Thank you, darlin'. NC-17.

that mean I don't miss those oceans.'
A pause for shameless begging: Are you an artist? Do you do photomanipulations? If so -- would you please do a picture of Dick and Garth for me? *g* I'm artistically impared.

Nightwing photomanip by Steve. Nightwing spends some...personal time. Mmm. Explicit nudity.
Tempest photomanip by Bevis. The artist says: "Tempest dressed in his brand new (waterproof) body paint costume, because he felt that Nightwing wasn't giving him enough attention with the outfit as it was. It also gives him a chance to show of an as unyet seen aspect of his magic powers." Yum. Explicit nudity.

Carmen doesn't have a webpage of her own. This is a crime. So I'm putting her stories here. :) She is my real-life Muse and betareader and has been my online friend for a wonderful, inspirational year. Love you, sweetie. *smooch* Now go read her fic before I tear up. ;)
How to describe this?! After I wrote the two "Taking Aim" fics, I was complaining that Greedy!Roy had been keeping me from writing other things...and Carmen channeled us BOTH for a conversation between Writer and Fictive. *G* I'm honored to be *her* fictive. Cautions: m/m slash implied.
In and Out of the Closet
I was feeling down and stressed over the nastier angst-bits of Sea and Sky...and Carmen wrote this. Oh, yes, I'd watch this. ;) Cautions: m/m slash implied.

The Dracoverse
In canon Jason Todd died a horrible death at the hands of the Joker. In fanfiction, he has a chance to live again. This (highly recommended!) project was begun by Kaylee, and is noted on this site because Kaylee included that AU’s version of Dick and Garth in a relationship similar to the one created by Dannell and I in “Sea and Sky.”
