Loratahide bio
 Author has written 82 stories for Misc. Movies, Gordan Korman, Temeraire, Hunger Games, Captain America, Portal, Much Ado About Nothing, Bible, Kamen Rider, Shakespeare, Star Wars, Stranger Things, 2016, Wynonna Earp, Wonder Woman, Dragon Age, Umbrella Academy, and Avengers. Mirror of my account on AO3, because not everyone reads stuff over there. I write lots of things, but mostly The Hunger Games. District 2 crept up on me, and I guarantee my friends and I have thought more about it and Career training than almost anyone alive. I didn't ask for this, but it's too late now. I write romance sometimes, but I like people more than I like sex, so expect a lot of gen. I write a lot of feelings and very little porn. If you want to talk to me about fannish things, you can stalk me on Twitter, Tumblr, or LJ/DW (I'm lorata everywhere).

COMMENTS AND MESSAGES: I'm always more than happy to discuss characterizations or headcanons or whatever else in PMs or over Twitter/email! I don't reply to comments on the reviews page because the lack of a reply/threading function on FF.N makes things very messy, but please feel free to contact me! You can also add me on LJ or come into my askbox on Tumblr for more longform discussion, which has the benefit of being public so other people can get involved. If you have a prompt for a standalone story idea about my District 2 victors, please message me -- I make no promises, but I have been known to write the occasional fic based off prompts, so you might get lucky. I will credit and thank you if I use your prompt as the basis for a fic! If you're scared, my askbox on Tumblr accepts anon messages. Full disclosure, however, I don't read comments requesting specific content for future chapters of existing works in progress. I plan out longer works before I start them, and while speculation is obviously fun and is absolutely encouraged, I do skip comments that tell me where they think the story should go and what I should put into future chapters. This is for my own peace of mind and I ask for everyone's understanding on this. Finally, please do not complain about updates and/or delays. If anyone feels I am not producing content fast enough, please remember I am writing all this for free because I enjoy it and like to share. Any negative reviews about my posting speed will be deleted immediately without comment. We're all here to have fun, right? Let's have fun! |
