AUTHOR'S INTRODUCTION:

Hey all. Name's Lio. Been writing fanfic since I was 15.

I started out with writing mainly WOEICS stuff, but I've branched out considerably since then.

Saying that I tend to do really odd stuff is like saying the ocean is damp.

Wondering where else you can find me online?

MY TWITTER FEED: https://twitter.com/LiosFicTwit - A great place to get fic updates, odd thoughts, links to fantastic fan-related videos and posts, and other fic tweeting.

MY LIVEJOURNAL: http://liofannat.livejournal.com/ - Find articles with tips for fanfic writers, my take on fan culture, updates on how my RL drama effects my fan work, and exclusive short stories that don't appear on any other site.
