hey all! elentari angel here. i'm still in my first year of posting fics. i've been trying to write and post my first fic and am ecstatic about how well it's been doing so far. i can only pray that it will continue to get such a wonderful response, and that my more recently posted fics will do as well as this. after all, the competition is tough with so many ridiculously talented writers out there! i can only hope that i'll be able to live up to the standards. ;-)

well, as this is a bio, i guess i should tell you all a bit about myself. i was born in february, 1989, meaning that i'm currently 16. i'm australian and i absolutely LOVE lord of the rings (and orlando bloom! hehehe!) and being random. i think that hobbits and elves absolutely RULE (the huggable creatures that they are =P ). i'm also a big fan of the harry potter books, x-men, kingdom of heaven, pirates of the caribbean, troy, star wars, mutant x and red dwarf. so as you can see, i absolutely hate science fiction and fantasy! ;-)=P hehehe.

right now i unfortunately do not have a lot of spare time, but when i'm free, i LOVE to write. i have been unknowingly writing fanfiction since i was knee-high-to-a-pig's-eye (just had to say that!) which was when i was about six years old. believe it or not, it all began with aladdin and the lion king. lol. as you can see, i've moved on a bit since the good 'ole days when disney movies were my life. now it's lord of the rings. =D but please pLeAsE PLEASE read and review my fics! any ways on how my writing can be improved and any comments on what you do/don't like about them will be welcome and greatly appreciated! i one day hope to be an author (even if i only end up writing one book and getting it published), so i want to improve as much as i can while i'm still young and impressionable (again, i felt i just had to say that). so please read, and i hope you enjoy:D

a note to those who are interested: a couple of people have asked if i'm going to write any more fics after 'every man for himself'. the answer to that is... yes! over the past few months i've had dozens of ideas floating about in my head (all of them for lotr). some of them i've started working on, others i haven't. but i'm not sure when i'll be posting anything new. if i get too stuck into another fic, then i'll end up abandoning all others, and i really don't want to neglect 'every man for himself' too much. but a couple of fics i'm currently working on include:

Little One (complete!)
Many Meetings (wip)
Between the River and the Woods (hopefully coming soon!)
Rules to Remember when Minding My Cousin (hopefully coming soon!)
Master (a very recent idea - hopefully coming soon too)
Every Man for Himself (wip)

another note to reviewers and readers: i can't express how sorry i am to keep you all waiting for my updates. but yr 11 has proved to be the very bane of my life. i am being given tonnes and tonnes and tonnes of homework, coursework and revision that is proving to be as cruel as caradhras and mount doom combined multiplied by the entire orc population of middle earth during the first three ages of its existance. but as much as i loathe it with every fibre and infinitisemal cell of my being, i'm afraid that it must take priority. as the exams are frighteningly close, it is unlikely (sorry!) that i will be able to update before them or even during them. i'm hoping to at least update 'every man' before i go on study leave, but i can't really promise anything (sorry!). but i can assure you all that i am trying my hardest to write as quickly and as well as i can. at least when the exams are over i'll have a lot more time on my hands ;) but until then,please try and be patient with me - i'm doing the best i can. :)
