Amatarahide bio
 Author has written 57 stories for Babylon 5, Star Trek: 2009, Twin Peaks, StarTrek: The Original Series, Stargate: Atlantis, Torchwood, Lost, Despicable Me, X-Men: The Movie, Harry Potter, Galaxy Quest, and Boston Legal. Some miscellaneous good-to-know stuff: - While I've been a sci-fi fan since my early teens, it took me a long time to start actively participating in fandom. Discovering Babylon 5 was what drew me in, though I've also been dabbling in other fandoms (old and new) since then, including Star Trek, Twin Peaks, Lost, and Harry Potter. - I'm a multifandom girl, but when it comes to writing fic I usually take on one fandom at a time, depending on what I'm squeeing about at that particular stage. - What do I do in Real Life? Let it suffice to say that I've always been a Girl in a Men's World - first as a grad student in physics, now in finance and IT. Married, one kid, and probably older than you think. :) - I always appreciate comments, including con-crit. Feedback isn't the main reason I write, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't the main reason I post. - I'm also on tumblr: amatara.tumblr.com |
