| Medea Smyke |
Author has written 21 stories for Lord of the Rings, and Hunger Games. Note on Madgeslas: Sorry, guys. I took the story down after my document with the next chapter was corrupted and deleted by my computer after I'd made a ton of changes. This story has been a struggle to write from the beginning and the person who requested it isn't even reading it. So, I'm not going to frustrate myself any longer. I apologize to all of you who have been reading along and supporting the story. ~ MS Bio I could not sit seriously down to write a serious romance under any other motive than to save my life; and if it were indispensable for me to keep it up and never relax into laughing at myself or at other people, I am sure I should be hung before I had finished the first chapter. - Jane Austen Howdy. I go by Medea Smyke around here. I don't actually care for that pseudonym anymore - one of the pitfalls of choosing a pen name in high school - but can't think of anything else to change it to. I’ve been writing fanfiction for over 10 years! Long before I even knew that’s what it was called. :D Writing is a lot of fun, so I got a degree in it (which was easy to get - but doesn't mean I'm any good). Now I’m working on a masters in library science. I currently work in the children’s department of my local library out here in the Midwest. I love me some YA fiction. A friend of mine invited me to join the Garden of Ithilien critique group. Prolly one of the best things I've ever done for my writing, and I made some more great friends, to boot! Thanks, Lia. ~*~ Artwork ~*~ Quintus! My OC from The Great Escape by apricotteacup. Madge and Gale from Love was a Fire Escape art commish! by apricotteacup Seriously. She did a beautiful job. And So We Run Redux fan-fanart (lol)! by Maiasm Whoa! Check out this scene from chapter 3! Totally awesome. Dustland Fairytale fan-fanart by Emalema -so cute! I love how she got all the details right. And so We Run Redux fan-fanart by Emalema - Madge and Gale sharing a smooch! Notice he has stubble!!! My The Hunger Games stories: It's probably best to read them chronologically by arc so that you can get the full development of Gale and Madge's relationship, but the stories do stand alone pretty well.
