"Lirael recognized the two in front - the twins Sanar and Ryelle - the flawless embodiment of the perfect Clayr." - Lirael, by Garth Nix.

Hi there! I'm a Canadian, born and bred, and therefore use Canadian spelling in all of my stories. I hope all of the extra u's don't put off any American readers! I've been writing fanfiction since I was four years old, when I saw Walt Disney's Fantasia and scribbled out a story about flying horses and ballet-dancing hippos. I've recently completed a Master's degree in English Literature, which means that right now I don't have a lot of job prospects!

In all of my work my goal is to be as faithful to the original material as possible, and so I put a great deal of research into my stories. If you spot any errors, please inform me. I alter the tone of my writing depending on which fandom it belongs to, with the style I use for Garth Nix fanfics being closest to my own. I reply to all of the signed reviews I receive, and welcome feedback of all kinds. If you have any questions, would like me to read or beta your work, or just want to chat, please PM me or send an email.

I frequented The Shoppe forum and started participating in an Old Kingdom RP there until it was closed down, and was later found at The Store Next Door. Due to FFN being a bit of a volatile site, and our tendency to RP for long periods of time, Fishy Biscuits (Fish) and I continued the RP on our own site. We have since wrapped it up and (sigh) started on a sequel RP, with no end in sight.

I've formed a joint account with Fish called SanaFish, and we've planned to co-writing an OKT story, which we'll hopefully begin soon! We also plan to convert our massive RP into a fanfic series of about 10 stories at some point. If we ever feel like hating ourselves.

Fandoms:
I've been in an Old Kingdom phase for quite a while now, writing both one-shots and multi-chapter fics, most of which are set before the books. My first major fandom was Chronicles of Narnia, and I have written about Tumnus or Tumnus/Lucy friendship, and maintain the Tumnus Community 'Fun With Fauns'. I've finished a humorous LOTR trilogy (the kind that's full of random insanity, but not against canon), two fics for Ursula Le Guin's Earthsea books, and an atrocious Shakespeare story I wrote when I was in grade 11. I get a new idea for a story about once or twice a week, but very few of them actually make it to completion (hence my LONG hiatus).
