Author has written 15 stories for Downton Abbey.

Hi, my name is Joanna. I've got degrees in English studies and work as a Polish-English freelance translator. I'm an avid reader of classic literature, but I'm quite new to fiction writing, so please bear with me (I'm more accustomed to writing text analyses). My two favourite authors are Jane Austen and J.R.R. Tolkien.

I'm not a native English speaker, so my English may not be perfect.

I'm a huge Sybil/Tom shipper. Frankly, you'll find only S/T fanfics here. It was S/T that inspired me to start writing fanfiction.


A bit of self-promotion - me and my fellow S/T friend, bijou156, run a blog together:

It is devoted to the Sybil/Tom ship. You may find here S/T appreciation posts, reblogged graphics and S/T scenes analyses.

My personal blog is . I post there some personal stuff and my fics as well as reblog things I like or I'm interested in. My main fandoms are: Downton Abbey, Call the Midwife, Jane Austen and J.R.R Tolkien. Posts concerning other British period dramas and classic literature are also reblogged by me.
