| Jane Poirot |
Author has written 33 stories for Kim Possible, And Then There Were None, Higurashi/Umineko series, Fairy Tales, Misc. Books, Desperate Housewives, Suite Life series, Degrassi, Nancy Drew series, Shuffle!, and Anime X-overs. My penname is Jane Poirot, my real name shall go unknown. For those of you wanting to know the reason behind the penname, it is a combination of two of Agatha Christie's most famous detectives, Jane Marple and Hercule Poirot. It was my original username for the Agatha Christie forums on the official website, and it just grew on me. One question that I get asked a lot is which detective I prefer--Miss Marple or Poirot. Personally, I prefer Poirot because he's more of a hands-on detective while Miss Marple is more of a stand-in-the-background-and-act-innocent detective. As for any other questions you may have...currently, the woman in my avatar is the lovely Tatyana Drubich as the tragic Vera Claythorne from the Russian film adaptation of one of the best novels of all time, And Then There Were None. I'm still an ATTWN nut, but not quite as big of a one now as I was a few years ago now that I'm getting into anime (and have a current Higurashi/Umineko obsession). I still love to read though; nothing will change that. I'm thinking of changing my avatar to either Shion Sonozaki (my favourite character from Higurashi), or Beatrice (the main villain from Umineko and one of my all-time favourite villains), or maybe even Haruhi Suzumiya (aka, my fictional counterpart, lol). So keep checking back and eventually, the avatar might change. I used to be known as AIT98 (Author In Training), but I changed my penname because I personally feel I am no longer an author-in-training; I'm not published on the shelves (yet), but I have grown a bit as an author since I first came on here in October 2006 (three years ago already? Time flies fast...), so I felt it was time for a change. Part of me is tempted to change my penname again to something like Yuno Sonozaki (combining two of my favourite Yanderes), or perhaps Beatrice Sonozaki. Still, I don't think I'd truly feel comfortable parting with something that has been with me so long, so my penname will remain as it is for the time being. Misc. info below: Fav.
