Author has written 31 stories for Hunger Games, Harry Potter, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, and Pride and Prejudice. INTRODUCTION Hello, people! Let's start with how to pronounce my profile name before you ask: Ir-ma-i-da. You know, like it's two names instead of one. Irma Ida. Call me Irma. ABOUT THIS AUTHOR Irma is an amateur writer who lives in southern California with her parents, younger sister, dog, and nonexistent cats. Irma owns nothing she writes about. Since joining the site, Irma believes she has grown tremendously as a writer. She mainly writes one-shots with too much angst and style in it and not enough plot. Plot structure and multichapters are something Irma hopes to attempt when she becomes a better writer. Irma also cannot write romance. Period. Irma is a Ravenclaw, huge Lizzie Bennet Diaries fan, and nerdfighter. Readers: You can expect two fics from Irma per month for the year of 2013. So far I haven't fallen behind on this. Usually I'll post one fic on the first of every month, and then the second one will come a bit later on a surprise date. When she is not writing fanfiction, she enjoys reading, both fanfictions and actual books, watching old cartoons that she is probably too old for, spending time with her friends and family, staying inside on the computer for unhealthy amounts of time, and referring to herself in third person. FORUMS I'm a moderator on Caesar's Palace and the Society for the Promotion of Panda Welfare, both lovely Hunger Games forums that could always use new members. In addition, this year I'm participating in the Gift Giving Extravaganza 2013. This is my thread. Twice every month in 2013 I am going to give someone a gift of a one-shot, freeverse, or drabble. OTHER PLACES YOU CAN READ MY WRITING I have a FictionPress account. I don't do very much on it, but it does exist. For sake of, er, existing. (I have a grand total of two stories on that account.) In addition, I'm co-writing The 76th Annual Hunger Games: Delicate Shards with angels entwined. I also occasionally write for forum drabble collections: See Through the Haze: Chapter 9, Chapter 12, Chapter 18, Chapter 21, Chapter 23 Learning To Dance In The Rain: Chapter 21 | |||||||||
