In short, I can't spell, don't know my grammar and probably can't write but have decided to try my hand at it in anonymity.

Books I'd recommend: House of Mirth, The Dispossessed, The Blue Castle, The Belgariad Saga, The Left Hand of Darkness, Cannery Row, Persuasion, Vanity Fair, His Dark Materials (the golden compass, etc), Confessions of a Shopaholic, The Count of Monte Cristo...

I am back! For over a year I was lost to the world of fanfiction and became a rabid scifi nut. Until I watched all that was mildly interesting, and gave up finding non space-opera shows. Aliens were fun while it lasted... Only in science fiction is the protagonist ever in mortal danger because his friend is flowering and the spores are killing the crew. Where do they dream up this stuff?

My new fic is 'Voldemort is coming to Dinner'; it'll be mostly character development with a bit of action. I'll try to make the tone dark, but knowing me I'll probably insert a few comments to ruin the mood.
