chelsie fanhide bio
 Author has written 47 stories for Downton Abbey. I'm a big ol' Chelsie shipper, just like the rest of you. I want it to happen more than can be good for me. If we're not to have the satisfaction of seeing it on the show, I'm left to make it happen in my own little fanfiction world. Recently joined tumblr, just because it's THAT much fun! You can find me there as chelsiefan71. Pictures for all my stories have been painted by the lovely brenna-louise. HMS Chelsie, full steam ahead! |
