About Me

My name is a Pirates of the Caribbean reference (I also go by Galadriel), although I keep changing it to whatever suits me at the time. It's truly ironic, as I don't write PotC fanfiction myself. Regardless, I'm sixteen and I live my life in an ocean of literature. Poetry, lyrics, prose, you name it. I've probably dabbled in it because I write for fun. I write for expression. I write for love.

The things I love make up who I am. Or at least, it's in those things we can find commonality.

Favourite...

Writers: J. R. R. Tolkien, Neil Gaiman, Alan Moore, John Steinbeck, J. D. Salinger, Aldous Huxley etc.

Books: The Hobbit, The Sandman, East of Eden, Brave New World, Watchmen, Franny & Zooey, Indiana, Forever Amber etc.

Actors: Adrien Brody, Johnny Depp, Shia LaBeouf, Morgan Freeman, Viggo Mortensen, Ken Watanabe, Liev Shreiber, Denzel Washington, Hugo Weaving, Keanu Reeves, etc.

Actresses: Naomi Watts, Rachel Weisz, Cate Blanchett, Zooey Deschanel, Vera Farmiga, Natalie Portman, Milla Jovovich, Claire Danes, Anna Paquin, Emma Watson, etc.

Films: The Shawshank Redemption, The Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean, King Kong, Letters From Iwo Jima, The Pianist, Eastern Promises, Summer of Sam, The Manchurian Candidate, The Silence of the Lambs, Transformers (all), X-Men, Dummy, etc.

TV Shows: CSI (all of it), LA Ink, My So-Called Life, True Blood, Doctor Who etc.

Musicians/Bands/Composers: Green Day, Howard Shore, Hans Zimmer, Iron Maiden, The Who, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, The Eagles, The Smiths/Morrissey, Pantera, Avenged Sevenfold, Meg & Dia etc.

Regarding my writing...

I use British English (BrE) all the time.

I take grammar checks very seriously, although I do slip up at times.

I like to write dramatic stories with a lot of death. I don't know if everybody will be comfortable reading such things. Anyway, occasionally, I like to write the cute, fluffy, happy story too, so don't be too discouraged.

The only time I ever wrote slash was for a Dumblewald story, and I don't know if it'll even happen again.

I do like it when I get reviews because I get to hear what you readers think, but you're not obliged to leave any. I understand the concept of a phantom reader, and sometimes people who read don't leave their trace, and that's okay.

Need to know anything else? Feel free to send a message! I reply to every one.
