Stuff about me:

Like Flourishes, I live in the Pennsylvania Dutch area, and, like she says, the grammar here sucks -- luckily for me, I was born on the West Coast of the USA, thus my grammar is a little better, but I'd appreciate any corrections!

I normally don't enter the Harry Potter section of ff.net, I'd rather stay in the LOTR section, however, I do happen to know what I'm talking about when I write Harry Potter fan-fics, as I have read the books more times than I can count -- however, if something seems wrong, please let me know.

It is all Flourishes' fault that I post here, so, if you actually like my fan-fics *wishful thinking* then you can thank her! *Love ya, Flourishes!*

I'm currently in the middle of a Harry Potter story (The Eight Lights) and am starting a LOTR story at the same time (called "Epidemic")however, because these are both WIP and school is constantly getting in my way, update may sometimes be few and far between. Please bear with me on that, because summer is only a few months away!

There's probably more about me that I could put here, but I'm too lazy.

P.S. Go read Cassia and Sio's Mellon Chronicles, if you like Aragorn/Legolas Friendship fics then they're the ones to read!

Another Note: All of my favorite authors (other than Flourishes) are LOTR authors, and they all rock, so go read their stories as well!

Final words: *if you're still reading this then I'm surprised* "Stive to be a tolkienknight, not a tolkiennite!"

UPDATE JUNE 15, 2003 --

No people, I'm not dead. Yes, I know I haven't updated since March, and I apologize a million times. Both my personal and social life as well as school and theatre have taken a turn for the worst over the past few months. I have continued writing, but getting the stuff off of notebook paper and into the computer and then onto the internet hasn't really happened.

So, here's what I'm going to try to do . . . by Wednesday, June 25, I should have at least one new chapter for each of my stories up. If I don't, then I am going to say this -- there will be no more updates until mid-July.

People, I had cancer last year, I have re-scans in two days, and I am leaving the country in a few weeks. I swear I'm going to try to update as soon as I can, but life really isn't being fair right now.

I'm sorry to all of you who have been waiting patiently, and impatiently, for an update. I will try my best to get one out here by June 25.

Here's all I ask -- stick with me for a few more chapters, my updating should soon be on a regular schedule since I've gotten so much done, but that depends on how my betas, flourishes and TMJ, are doing with them and how my schedule works out.

Finally -- to Shandrial, Tithen Min, and KayteUnfading (as well as flourishes and TMJ) thank you so much for putting up with me and encouraging me!

Namarie,

UPDATE -- JUNE 25, 2003
