Mae govannen, mellyn!
Welcome to my profile :-)
Besides the stories you'll find on my profile, I also have a short, humorous oneshot, co-written with Legolass Q. You can see it here: Seeing the Stars of Harad.
Note: The site sometimes doesn't display emails. So, just in case, my email is: starlight.999@gmail.com
Short Bio:
I discovered that fanfiction existed quite late – September 2006. This was the turning point of my life. I think I can divide my life into “before fanfiction” and “after fanfiction” periods. I started writing in October 2006. And yes – it’s addictive :-) Just to warn you.
I am writing Lord of the Rings stories. Some of my stories are written for, and inspired by, the wonderful Teitho Contest.
I am female, which I think is pretty obvious from my stories... and main characters. I am 22, I am from Bulgaria, but I have traveled a lot and I've been to a total of four continents for quite a long time. I am currently a university student. What I study has nothing, absolutely nothing to do with writing, but writing is a wonderful hobby and I have discovered that it can sometimes bring greater pleasure than reading.
English is my second language, but all of my stories will be in English so that more people can read them. Please forgive me any grammar and/or word choice mistakes. I know they are there :-) If you point them out, I would be most grateful.
What will I write about?
My long stories are angst/drama/action/adventure/hurt/comfort, focused on Aragorn and Legolas, plus Elrond and the twins for pre-LotR stories, and Gimli, Arwen and Eldarion for post-LotR stories. My short stories range from angst to humor, and you can find all kinds of main characters there, including hobbits, ponnies, or even trees.
Concerning reviews: I review all stories that I read and like. Since I started writing, I saw how much they mean to the writer. I reply to my reviews because I always take them to heart. I don’t know if I would be able to write without reviews, it is so much easier when you know that someone is actually reading the story and waiting for the next chapter. Please, if ever read a story that you like (I don’t mean my stories, but in general), tell it to the author. If you have never written, you have no idea what a review means to the writer. And don’t be shy, and don’t think that you are expected to suggest ways to improve or anything. Even if you just tell the writer that you are reading the story and enjoying it, it can be extremely helpful.
If you are fans of Aragorn Angst, or you just want to chat with me and other fanfic lovers, I encourage you to visit and join the Estel Angst Central. It's a great forum administered by oxpecker and moderated by me :o). Hope to see you there!
Have fun reading!
