Turning to photography as a creative outlet during a valiant fight with breast cancer at age 34, renaissance10 survived and set up a photo contest to help raise funds for the Lavender Trust, a nonprofit that provides information and support to younger women with breast cancer. In the first two years, the competition brought in over £65,000 (that's $107,260.73 U.S.!), with entries from 130 countries last year. Renaissance10 recently joined LiveJournal to meet other passionate photographers and find supportive friends.

Please pay attention to the header here before going on to the fake cut with the fic in it. LJ completely borked my header on my journal and I can't fix it *kicks LJ*

1. Pen Name: claire_petrelli
2. Fandom: Batman / The Dark Knight (new Movieverse)
3. T- some violence and romance, but nothing explicit planned, since I'm not a hard writer
4. Spoilers/Time Line: The new movies
5. Pairing: Bruce Wayne/Claire Dearing (OC)
6. Beta Type: Well... I'm German, so naturally English is not my first language. That is why I really need a beta, who has an eye on spelling, grammar, canon knowledge (in case I misunderstood something important while watching the movies in English) and word usage. I need someone who can correct anything that sounds odd, because that might happen with a foreign language. Apart from that I need a beta, who keeps an eye on Claire, so she won't get too mary sue-ish (well, at least not more than Rachel was^^)
7. Harshness: Honesty is best, so go ahead. It takes a lot to make me cry ;-)
