"Olanthea" is my time-honoured pen name. It's the name of a character I wrote about many years ago in an unfinished story that I have begun to revive during the last NaNoWriMo.

I have posted "Pirates of the Caribbean: Lord of the Caspian Sea" which was my 2008 NaNoWriMo (www.nanowrimo.org) project. It was my first NaNo and is my first piece of fan fiction. I didn't expect it to take on the epic length that it has, but alas here it is, 140,000 words.

The second piece I posted here was a "just for the sake of it" story that was supposed to kill time between NaNo's, but it also grew far too big and went on for a large number of chapters.

I'll admit that I'm not the most dedicated Fan-Fic writer, though I have been writing original pieces for over ten years. I have recently published a novel and am always working on new pieces.

I love reviews and comments. For better or for worse I think it's good to know what people's opinions are. So please, even if you only read one chapter, give some input, not just for me but any work you read.

Keep reading, keep writing! Long live literary abandon!
