Welcome to my profile! I'm not quite sure where to begin really. As a person I don't have much to say really. I like eating. I like lego. I like good music, and I like a good read. That really covers everything important. Now onto the more trivial parts of life.

I'm a Brit from t'up North where the people are friendly (mostly) and the rain is forever pouring down on us as we eat chips smothered with beans and cheese. Well...just beans for me, I don't like cheese.

Book series: Artemis Fowl, The Chronicles of Narnia, The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, His Dark Materials, Hitch-Hiker's Guide, Mortal Engines, The Wind On Fire.

Individual Books: Anna Karenina, A Thousand and One Arabian Nights, The Art of War, Confessions of an English Opium Eater, Goodnight Mister Tom, To Kill a Mockingbird.

Films: A Clockwork Orange, Amadeus, Full Metal Jacket, Gladiator, Hot Fuzz, If..., The Italian Job, Johnny got his Gun, Live and Let Die, The Living Daylights, Sahara, The Shawshank Redemption, The Spy Who Loved Me, Star Trek II, Sherlock Holmes (2009), Toy Story, Wallace & Gromit (need to give this section some more thought...)

Artists/Sculptors: Michelangelo Caravaggio, Salvador Dali, Vincent van Gogh, Francisco Goya, Paul Klee, Pablo Picasso, Auguste Rodin, Johannes Vermeer.

Music: I'm pretty much open to everything and anything! Classical music, especially French 20th century works are my love.

Favourite Quotes: 'Soft stillness, and the night becomes the touches of sweet harmony' - Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice. 'The man that hath no music himself, nor is moved by concord of sweet sounds is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils; the motions of his spirit are dull as night, and his affections dark as Erebus. Let no such man be trusted.' - Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice (set to music by R Vaughan Williams in his 'Serenade to Music.'

*UPDATE* 02/08/2016

It's a sad day when I feel that it's necessary to take down my imcomplete fics, which is to say all of them, but I'm hoping that this tidying up will give me the impetus to get going on something new and exciting in the near future. Stay tuned!

Black Shadows by DualKatanas reviews
Two siblings have had nothing but each other for most of their lives. Then the Dark Brotherhood welcomes them with open arms, offering them a new family, a new way of life. But the life of an assassin is fraught with death and betrayal; danger threatens the family at every turn, and trust is a fool's refuge. Set in the BaS universe. Constructive criticism appreciated.

Futile Vengeance by DualKatanas reviews
Oneshot semi-sequel to Blood and Steel. The Oblivion Crisis is over, but for Gorgoth gro-Kharz, there are still battles to be fought. Though there is nothing to gain and everything to lose in his pointless quest, his desire for vengeance can no longer be ignored.

Blood and Steel by DualKatanas reviews
Gorgoth gro-Kharz, a brutal warrior-shaman from Orsinium, didn't expect to end up as the champion of the Nine, acclaimed by many as the Hero of Kvatch. But now that he finally has a cause worth fighting for, he and his new comrades will stop at nothing to defeat Mehrunes Dagon. Excuse the initially poor writing. Constructive criticism appreciated. Finally complete.
