I'm Serenity, and I enjoy reading stories set in Middle-earth, particularly Silmarillion-era. I've also been known to read Stargate and Star Trek fics on occasion. In RL, I'm a primary teaching assistant and soon-to-be Open University student, and my areas of interest include educational theory, anthropology, and cultural feminism. I read a lot, spend far too much time online, drink lots of tea, and covet shiny things. I post as Aikanáro on a few Tolkien boards, although I'm not as active there as I used to be.

I love: well-written AU, references to Laws and Customs or the Shibboleth, exploration of Noldorin family dynamics

I loathe: crack!pairings, stories that haven't been proofread, songfics
