Fanfic by Isabelle

Just wondering, does Isabelle still write fanfic? I heard her site Carnal Sins is gone (it was hers, wasn't it?)
I always thought her plotting was fine but her style sucked, but I did enjoy some of the more cinematographic aspects of her story-telling. Her stories often read like outlines of novels except that she went into great detail to describe the clothes the characters were wearing. :-)
But she did create interesting original characters and had good ideas.
Anyway, It just occured to me that I haven't seen any of her fics plugged in a long long time. I feel totally out of the loop.

The other day I heard "it's all coming back to me now" and I cried. I actually cried. Because it reminded me of the Spike's pain of living 100 years without Buffy.
I'm pathetic.

I don't know what's going on with Isabelle, but I thought your comment was funny.
