treacle-antlershide bio
 Author has written 28 stories for Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, House, M.D., Thick of It, Hannibal, and Broadchurch. For about 7 years in my late 20s-30s I lived to write fanfic, and then I just stopped. I don't even remember why, but I'm fairly sure I had some bullshit story about needing to spend my time and creativity on 'real writing' which - as every great fic writer knows - fanfiction most definitely is. I wrote a lot of stuff in these intervening years; novels, short stories, a screenplay, even a TV pilot, plus a shit-ton of articles and essays, but somehow nothing has even got me quite as enthused as writing fandom fic for a devoted audience. So now here I am again, roughly 20 years after I penned my first Buffy fanfic during office hours in 1998, noticeably less self-involved and happily spinning a whole load of new stories using other people's characters - TA Note: This account is now mostly an archive for older stuff. All new stories are all posted on Ao3: |

"After a while it becomes part of her personality; smart, capable, obedient, good at dealing with Malcolm Tucker during one of his temper tantrums." T for canon-typical language (so, bad).
