Author has written 17 stories for Primeval, Doctor Who, and Sherlock.

Alright, let's start with the basics. I am Lady Silverbird (it's not my real name, but doesn't it sound cool?) and I am an aspiring writer. My favourite shows on the telly are Primeval, Doctor Who, Sherlock, and Firefly. My favourite films include all the Lord of the Rings, all of The Hobbit films, Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, and essentially all films from the Marvel Universe. If you haven't guessed yet, I am a massive sci-phile and fantasy addict. Maybe it's because the normal world has become so very mundane that I just search for things that are mystical, unusual, and different. Pretty much all of my fanfictions will include those elements, simply because normal is BORING!!!

I write mostly Sherlock and Primeval stories, but if the mood takes me, I might be able to pull of a crossover. Maybe.

I also have a partner-in-fanfic-writing, TheDoctor'sStrawberry, who is exceedingly awesome. It was she who told me, "The law seems to fluctuate whenever someone is around Sherlock Holmes."


QUOTES:

I don't have to outrun the dragon. I just have to outrun you.

If it weren't for physics and law enforcement, I would be bloody unstoppable!

There are no normal people, just people you don't know very well.

I used to be perfectly sane--and then I got better.

Experience is the very worst teacher: it gives you the test first and the instructions afterwards.

Forgive your enemies: it messes up their heads.

Stupidity killed the cat. Poor Curiosity got framed.

Today you call me nerd. In five years, you'll be calling me boss.

Writer's block: when the characters in your head get tired of all the malarkey you put them through and go on strike.

QUITE POSSIBLY THE SMARTEST THING EVER WRITTEN BY A MAN:

"When the Himalayan peasant meets the he-bear in his pride,
He shouts to scare the monster, who will often turn aside.
But the she-bear thus accosted rends the peasant tooth and nail.
For the female of the species is more deadly than the male."
--Rudyard Kipling, The Female of the Species.
