Well, I used to be an avid writer on here around 2008/2009, but I haven’t really touched fanfiction in over two years and haven’t worked on something longer than a one-shot in over four, but now I’m trying to make what I expect to be a very rocky return. So anyway, here’s a bit about me…

I love animals, and I’ve been a vegetarian for over seven years. My favorite animals are elephants and lizards. I’m a terrific baker (my neighbors are actually always asking me to bake things for them), but I’m not such a great cook; my favorite thing to bake is Bienenstich - if you’ve never had it, it is seriously amazing. I’m also really good at nail art, and although I have a very excessive collection of over 150 bottles of polish, my favorites are Zoya’s Pixie Dust collection. I can also make balloon animals, and I went to an online high school. …Those last two items aren’t related in the slightest.

Lastly, I have three pets. My cat, Patch, is eleven, and we’ve had her for ten years. I also have a Beagle, Theo (yes, he’s named after Theo Rossi), who is also eleven, but we’ve only had him for a year. Finally, I have a two-year-old leopard gecko named Madsen (think of Rebecca Madsen or the German band). Madsen is actually my second gecko, but, unfortunately, my first, Blitz, passed away in January.

Favorites:

Books: Steppenwolf, Demian, Siddhartha (Hesse); Anna Karenina (Tolstoy); The Kite Runner, A Thousand Splendid Suns (Hosseini); Hard Times (Dickens); A Room with a View (Forster); The Scarlet Pimpernel (Orczy); Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead (Stoppard); Rizzoli & Isles series, The Bone Garden, Harvest (Gerritsen); Macbeth, Hamlet, The Tempest (Shakespeare); A Separate Peace (Knowles).

Movies: Dead Poets Society, Live From Baghdad, The Wings of the Dove, A Tale of Two Sisters.

Music: Ilse DeLange really has no competition as my favorite artist. But I also really like Marco Borsato, Peter Maffay, Silbermond, Unheilig, Miss Montreal, Lena Meyer-Landrut, Jackson Browne, Kane, Rea Garvey/Reamonn, Tears for Fears, Krezip, Xavier Naidoo/Söhne Mannheims, Juli, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Roxette, Andreas Bourani, Phil Collins, and Fleetwood Mac.

Pairings: In general, I can like pretty much any pairing if it’s well-developed in a ‘fic, and I usually choose pairings that I think fit the story best. With that said, Lucia/Renning will probably always have the biggest spot in my heart, but I do also like Lucia/Bastian, Lucia/Soren, and Renning/Titania. In addition, I like Elincia/Geoffrey, Elincia/Tibarn, Geoffrey/Mist, Sigrun/Zelgius, and Tanith/Oscar.
