Author has written 9 stories for Downton Abbey. 20 something from the UK. If I could spend all my days writing and daydreaming, then I'd be a happy girl indeed...I fit it in when I can. Music fanatic and general fangirl. Living a Downton Abbey appreciation life. More than slightly obsessed with Anna/Bates. There's no better man and no finer lady; I would love them however, whatever, whenever. Team Downstairs (though I do like pretty much everyone). Julian Fellowes is an evil genius. Joanne Froggatt and Brendan Coyle are wonderful. Other favourite shows include: Sherlock (slightly obsessed with Sherlolly), Being Human (UK), Friends, The Big Bang Theory, Sirens, Misfits, True Blood, Chuck, Episodes...far too many to list. Currently, I just write Downton Abbey/Anna and Bates fic, but who knows what I may be persuaded to venture in the future... I spend approximately half of my life on Tumblr, indulging my many fangirl tendencies. It's probably not healthy, but I'm way past that point now. If you're at all interested, come and say hello and we shall fangirl together (apologies in advance) : http://a-rabbit-hearted-girl.tumblr.com/ Absolutely honoured to be the recipient of the Highclere Awards for January 2013 for If You Can't Sleep. I've been doing this fanfic lark for less than a year, and to be recognised in such a way is unbelievable to me. All my thanks go to everyone who has read, reviewed, favourited or followed any of my fics so far. Your support keeps me wanting to keep on thinking things up and writing away. Big hugs. Fic goals: 1: Write one (or more) modern Anna/Bates AU - IN PROGRESS! 2: Write a fic of 1,000 words or less (an incredible challenge, as I'm predisposed to rambling) 3: Go back and explore some early scenarios (I *heart* S1) I also may just do something completely crazy, thanks to a casting fantasy that has started to take over my life somewhat...but that may take a while, yet... | |||||||
