Playstation2 says it best: Live in your world, play in ours. In this case the ours is every author/writer out there not making a cent off of our dives into fanfiction.

Let's see...I live in Ontario, Canada in the city of chemicals, smog and the Kissing Capital. Joy is me.

I have an unusual obsession with books, particularily the Sharpe series by Bernard Cornwell, Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan, Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien, The Theives' Guild by Jeff Crook, the Jack Aubery books by Patrick O'Brian and the Memory, Sorrow and Thorn series by Tad Williams. And who could forget all those books by Molly Cochran? Oh, boy. The Katherine Kerr novels, The Lady of Sherwood books by Jennifer Roberson, and just about everything by Ursula K. LeGuin, especially the Wizard of Earthsea series. A must-read is the Fantasy and Science Fiction Hall Of Fame by many excellent authors. I'm a sucker for short stories.

Among my other, non-book obsessionsis the seventy's classic M*A*S*H, of which I am conspiring to own all eleven seasons. I am up to three complete DVD sets and still have a hundred dollars left, enough for two more if I stretch it.Wish me and my bargain-finding skills luck.

I have a job, I live in a house, and I go to school. Sigh. My life is so dull that I must resort to fandom to liven things up.

Here's a few links to Lord of the Rings fanfiction. Hopefully they will give you something better to do than read my profile.
