I'm a fan(girl) of Roger Zelazny, JRR Tolkien, Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett, Jacq, Amelie Nothomb, Janet Evanovich, Patricia Briggs, C.E. Murphy, Charlaine Harris, Trudi Canavan, Pauline Gedge etc. Leon the Professionel is one of my favorite movies, along with The Big Blue, K-PAX, Galaxy Quest, Shrek, Star Wars. As far as tv goes I like Top Chef, The Almighty Johnsons, SG. I've lost many hours playing KOTOR, Dragon Age and the Sims 2.

I'm not a native English speaker so please have that in mind while reading any of my stories (most posted on OSA though). There's lots of unfinished stuff on my computer but the way it's been going it's never going to see the light of day. ;)

Bad spelling can be lethal. For example, the greedy Seriph of Al-Yabi was cursed by a badly-educated deity and for some days everything he touched turned to Glod, which happened to be the name of a small dwarf from a mountain community hundreds of miles away who found himself magically dragged to the kingdom and relentlessly duplicated. Some two thousand Glods later the spell wore off. These days, the people of Al-Yabi are renowned for being remarkably short and bad-tempered.

You can't make people happy by law. If you said to a bunch of average people two hundred years ago "Would you be happy in a world where medical care is widely available, houses are clean, the world's music and sights and foods can be brought into your home at small cost, travelling even 100 miles is easy, childbirth is generally not fatal to mother or child, you don't have to die of dental abcesses and you don't have to do what the squire tells you" they'd think you were talking about the New Jerusalem and say 'yes'.
