Ok, just realised I can tell you lot some random facts about myself here, so why not.

Name: Claire

Country: England

School: Sutton Coldfield Grammar School for Girls (sounds pretentious, but generally isn't)

Age: I am 15, and started writing fanfiction when I was 14, so not long. I've been writing stories for ever though, so it was a natural (and hopefully wise) step forward.

Fave Ships: Harry/Hermione (sorry sophina!), Ron/Luna from Harry Potter, Danny/Lindsay, Mac/Stella from CSINY, Nick/Sara from CSI and Ryan/Calleigh from CSIMiami.

I've also recently rediscovered Dark Angel, and am now addicted to Max/Alec.

I am also addicted to Torchwood, but am still unsure as to whether I like the Jack/Gwen issue.

I absolutley adore the Tamora Pierce books, both Tortall-set and Circle of Magic.

Hmmmmmmmm. I am a bookworm. A bibliophile, if you will. I adore history, fantasy and some sci-fi books. Actually, I only like the Anne McCaffrey brainship books, but am willing to experiment.

As those of you who have read my stories, I like to use new characters in my fics, mainly because I like the challenge of writing established characters reactions to a new person, and the ways they change dynamics. I am trying to move away from that before any of may characters turn into Mary-Sues though.

Apart from really random facts like I love purple, hate aubergine and am a very hyperactive human being who should really keep her mouth shut more often (going "oh right" when told your friends are talking about phone sex is not good), thats about all I can think of to say.

Apart from long live the kettle. (John Angard, mentally damaging poetry conference with school.)
