| Musings of a Shaken Mind |
Author has written 36 stories for Robin Hood BBC, Twilight, Mortal Instruments, Host, RENT, and Harry Potter. Hi. I'm Becky. I'm Vegetarian, and Scottish. Contrary to popular belief, we don't actually all live in log cabins beside picturesque (if freezing) lochs, wearing kilts, eating haggis 'neeps & tatties, and expressing ourselves with, "Och aye the noo." (Although veggie haggis is pretty good, if I do say so myself.) So. Another birthday passed. Summer flew by. Autumn seemed to just... not exist. We kind of went straight to winter after June. I might never have returned to the joy of FF. But recently, there has been a horrendous amount of snow, to the point where I have left the house only three times in the past week. Yeah, it's up to my waist. Now, I'm not the tallest person ever, but that's still an exteremely hefty amount of snow. As you might imagine, I have been driven slowly and surely crazy by this predicament. But in my time of woe and isolation, I got by with the wonder of... fanfiction! Well. That and facebook. But I seem to have fallen in love with it once more - not just any ff, mind, but Marauder-era canon Harry Potter. That may seem a little contrived, especially as they appear so infrequently in the books, but really. Some of the best fanfiction I have ever read centres around these poor, doomed characters. And you know me. I'm kind of a sucker for a Shakespearian-style tragedy. So I have returned once more. Don't know if I'll be posting anything new right now, but hopefully at some point in the future I'll be struck by a lightning bolt of divine inspiration, and wow you all with some wondrous piece of fine literature. Until that strikes, I'll be here. Silently reading, and then leaving excessively long reviews. Although I'm always up for a chat if you want to PM me. :D
Saffiya Scarlett ; Yep, she's awesome, too. Arya Nuanen ; This is just becoming a list of... awesome people. Srsly. Reconrox ; I know her in rl. :D She's my army buddy. MrsEmmalinaCullen ; As in: other half of me. Or at least, the other half of my character. Whatever. She's pretty great. MissingMissUnique ; I love love love Tegan. That's three loves. She's practically one of the clan. (: DeviantArt Resani tumblr Drabbles for Bella in French. Translated by the awesome Nouni Drabbles for Bella in Spanish.
