Author has written 25 stories for Doctor Who, Pirates of the Caribbean, Lost, Friends, Scrubs, Ashes to Ashes, Demons, and Sherlock. Update: 15/09/10: Real life is a bit hectic for me at the moment- off to Uni next week! While this is all terribly exciting, I'll sadly be neglecting my fics for a while, but rest assured I'll not be disappearing forever. :o) Ruby Scott: Empress Of Angst If you are reading this, that means you like one of my stories. You have great taste! A little bit about myself (if you're interested); English, 18 years old, plays guitar, writes fiction, obsessive fan of Doctor Who, Life on Mars, Ashes to Ashes, Lost, Spaced, Friends, Scrubs, Harry Potter, Whose Line is it Anyway?, The Mighty Boosh, The Young Ones, Shooting Stars, West Ham United, Batman, Johnny Depp, Russel Brand, Mike Leigh, Kate Bush, Grace Jones, Gorillaz, Blur, Placebo, Foo Fighters, Pulp, The Smiths, T.Rex and David Bowie. I've also recently been swept off my feet by one Benedict Cumberbatch as the ever delightful Sherlock Holmes, which is fast becoming my new obsession- sorry to replace you with a younger model, Gene; you'll always have a place in my heart, don't worry. :P I seem to have a formiddable reputation as 'Empress Of Angst' (Ta, Lucida Bright :D). So if you're here to be cheered up, you've come to the wrong place I'm afraid! I also have something that vaguely resembles a LiveJournal account! (ruby_scott) Pop over if you fancy a chat. Also, I'd better take this opportunity to thank every single one of my lovely, loyal reviewers and to anyone else who enjoys my stories. I've been on this site for about three years now and it has been just wonderful. Thanks to you lot I've been able to grow as a writer and I really can't thank you enough you bloody lovely people! And now for a Disclaimer: The characters and lyrics don't belong to me, the angst does. Ruby :o) x | |||||||
