| quiller |
Author has written 47 stories for Thunderbirds. Why did I choose 'quiller' as a name? Well,a while back I discovered the mediaeval word 'rebus' - an image that represents your name (see, people were doing this long before avatars were even thought of!) and I chose the symbol you see here as a pun on my name (Pen). So when I needed a 'pen-name' 'quiller' was the obvious choice. And for some reason I think it looks better with a lower case 'q'. What can I say about myself? I've now been writing on this site for eight years (where has the time gone?). I'd been making up stories in my own head for years, and always thought I was a bit mad. A friend introduced me to this site and - hey!- I find there are others like me too! I've learnt a lot during this time (I hope), and made some great friends. Sometimes I think you who read my stories know more about the 'real' me, my hopes, my values, than the people I see every day at work who only see my 'public' face A final word about my stories. It bugs me when I am half-way through reading someone's story, only to find that they never finished it. So I always try have have a story complete before I post it here. However, this means there is no point asking for more - if one chapter is all I've posted, then I'm afraid that's all my Muse has seen fit to give me! One last note. If you want to put a story of mine in your C2 list I would appreciate being asked first. Many thanks. //Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes.
