Author has written 49 stories for Grey's Anatomy, Chronicles of Narnia, Australia, Glee, Merlin, Castle, and New Girl.

welcome to my world *waves* I'm Brooke and I'm from the lovely land of Aus (not the one Dorothy visits). I love to read, write, wear vintage clothing, red lipstick and I shop online way more than i should.

I've made up stories in my head about my favourite characters for as long as I can remember, and it wasn't until I was 12 years old that I discovered fanfiction, and I was so relieved to know I wasn't alone. Over the years, I've gone from reading to writing.

I'm afraid RIB have killed any desire i have to write glee!fic, but i have moved into the wonderful world of castle.

you'll find me on twitter and tumblr as brookemopolitan. happy reading
