Author has written 43 stories for Discworld, Lord of the Rings, Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Misc. Books, and Big Bang Theory. Hi, I'm Virtuella - well, not really, but it's a cool internet name, you must admit. I am a middle-aged special needs teacher, born and raised in Germany, but transported to Scotland by the lures of Very Attractive Scotsman Who Was Brave Enough To Marry Me. I have two children of primary school age, theological, political and feminist Views, and a permanent crush on Lord Vetinari. My favourite haunts on ffn are the Discworld and LOTR fandoms. Those who share my soft spot for His Lordship might enjoy the collection of Vetinari stories in my C2 The Vetinari Files. If you crave Vetimance, try A Winter's Tale, it is really rather good, though I say so myself. ;-) There are two sequels to it, The Vetissey and The Return of the...? The sequel to The Measure of a Man, Truth Be Told is now complete I have created another C2 called Young Talent in which I showcase quality stories by authors under eighteen. English is not my native language, and though I make an effort to get it right, some errors may remain. Most of my stories are proofread by my husband, and some have had the advantage of a good beta. If you notice something we have overlooked, please let me know. I virtually always reply to reviews, so if you haven't had a review reply from me, the system has probably eaten it. A delightful rendition of my OC Angelina has been created by DarkTari and can be seen here: http://darktari.deviantart.com/art/Angelina-Winter-121873883 . Thanks so very much, DarkTari! | |||||||||
