I suppose the first thing I have to do here is thank my mother - without her, I would never have even known Thunderbirds existed. Sure, for the first eleven years of my life I thought she was a nutbar by saying I was 'go'. But then YTV gave me reruns, and I understood. I also understood mom's love of all things marionette or puppetesque. Who wouldn't, after witnessing the adventures and derring-do of the Tracy clan? I'm willing to bet my Mega set that I'm the youngest author here, but I've had a lot of people to help me develop my skills - Samantha Winchester especially. If I remember correctly, she was the very first to review my very first Thunderbirds story. Thanks to her (and everyone else who's supported me on my quest for writer-evilocity) it hasn't been my last.
