SPECIAL NOTICE:
Please STOP Requesting copies of my Original Mini-Series: "Altered Beginning" and "Altered Beginning: Triangle". I fully understand the popularity of these Works in the FemSlash community and why people STILL write asking for the stories. Do NOT write and request my stories as I am NOT giving them out! You thieves HAD your chance and you BLEW It!

Some of my previous work includes:

Camille's Journey © 2007 A.L.LaVera - .

Altered Beginning: "Triangle" © 2006 A.L.LaVera

Altered Beginning I and II© 2005-2007 Antonia L. LaVera and Dominique Riva

I created THE story in 2006, the security to my website was breached on repeated occasions forcing me to shut the site down until I removed my writing permanently. Then my stories began to appear on that show, somewhat “Altered” but recognizable nonetheless. Those who've read these stories KNOW what I am referring to. Wow you completely ruined the finale to your very own series, UNBELIEVABLE!@ The "idea" well has ran dry for you. You KNOW who you are, and I am so Happy that your series spinoff did not receive a green light!

My writing style ranges from suspense and drama to romantic comedy. I write screenplays intended for small independent films that are non exploitive and targeted towards multicultural lesbian, LGBT friendly audiences.

Please note that I do not engage in collaborations without legal representation, TRANSPARENCY is of the utmost importance (NO INFO, NO COMMUNICATION). Don't Ask, Cause I Ain't Telling.You KNOW who you are.

My passion is writing and storytelling. Although my education belies that fact, there is a connection to be found. I do have background in theater, having studied: Acting and Directing at Sage College: Troy New York, and Mount Holyoke College: South Hadley Mass lo those many years ago.

Somewhere in my journey I dovetailed, and ended up pursuing a BA in Sociology, and ultimately a Master's degree in Knowledge Management/Organization Development. This is where I believe the connection to screen writing falls into place as I seek to explore the universality of emotional responses that show richness and depth by creating multi ethnic/cultural story-lines that transcend stereotypical norms found in contemporary cinema.

NOTICE: I HOPE THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE ISSUES WITH HOW I EXPRESS MYSELF! I am NOT responsible for making posts that make YOU feel comfortable. Sheesh talk about major control issues.

If there is no other reason that you seek my association other than self promotion and I have never heard of you and didn't seek you out, then you are S.O.L. (shit outta' luck) and will not last long as a friend of mine.

Would like to connect with women who are REAL. I want to share and receive knowledge from intelligent people (Producers, Writers, Actors, Filmmakers). I love stories, we all have a story within us and those stories are what helps to shape our realities, our paradigms.
