(April, 2009) So I guess it's time for me to replace the eternal placeholder this page has been for far too long...

Hi and hello, world! \:)/

I'm Kaos, avid reader and occasional writer - and I have been (and have loved it) for as long as I can actually remember. And that's quite a while, really, as I'm one of those kids who grew up with "Knight Rider", "Parker Lewis", "The A-Team", Disney's "Little Mermaid", "The Last Unicorn", sticker albums, etc. But I digress. There has never ever in my life been a time when I didn't like reading. Of course, as a kid it was different books than what I read today (although I still love Michael Ende's novels). My favorite in school was German class, because we got to write fun stories and tales and I could let my imagination run wild - man, was I pissed when in 7th grade we were supposed to only learn how to write argumentative essays any more! ;) At university, I decided on Literature as my major and have not nor will I ever regret that choice.

My favorite authors feel like dear companions on my way to where I am now, they have lent guidance, relaxation, food for thought, catharsis and inspiration. They are many (and I'm pretty sure I will forget one or the other) - Paul Auster, Ernest Hemingway, Michael Ende, Terry Pratchett, Marion Zimmer Bradley, Umberto Eco, William Gibson, etc. etc.

I usually sway in and out of fandoms - most stay with me, though, and I enjoy them still even though they might not be my main focus of action and attention at any given time - and I'm always open to new ones. Some that have been with me over the years include Lois & Clark, Superman (especially "Returns", but also the original movies), Darkover, Scrubs or Firefly...
