Author has written 8 stories for Watchmen, Hobbit, and Walking Dead. I'm just a girl who occasionally gets sucked into the spiraling vortex of a soul-sucking fandom and has to spew out a story or two before her lungs explode from holding in all the exhilaration and neuroses of loving characters so much you can't contain in them in their original micro-universe because who needs reality when even the darkest imaginary worlds can offer so much more hope and happiness than the problems and uncertainties of everyday life. Such fandoms include: Watchmen- because sometimes I become a little irrationally convinced that a futile battle against other people's unspeakable crimes is more appealing than the futile battle against your own demons and deviations. The Walking Dead- because sometimes I'd rather fight off a whole herd of mindless, flesh-ripping savages than wrestle with my anxiety at the thought of leaving my house and letting the mindless savages of the real world rip at my mental stability. The Hobbit- because running off into the unknown to escape everything you've let expectation shackle you to is worth every man-eating spider trying to eviscerate you. There are others that I can't think of right now because I'm half-awake and hungry, but these are the Holy Trinity of my own personal escapism. Anyway, if you feel so inclined, do take a gander at my fics, and if afterward you feel even more inclined, first check to make sure you aren't traveling uphill (ha ha lame jokes are lame), and then review or favorite or follow. Dramatic soliloquy aside, I really just honestly love connecting with other people who love the same things I do and (hopefully!) leaving a mark, no matter how small, with my stories. xoxo the muse.
