Author has written 6 stories for Phantom of the Opera, and Twilight.

Hello all! Gondolier here. Admitted lover of fanfiction and way too many hobbies.

I'm a freelance fiction and nonfiction writer with a charming corner "office" at the nearest Caribou Coffee. I completed my Creative Writing MA spring 09, hurrah!

I have so thoroughly loved fanfiction writers' work, and think that much of the stigma that comes with fanfic writing is bogus. There are some darn good fanfic writers out there, and it's a wonderful way to stretch your writing fingers. Just a matter of finding the gems. If you come across a gem, please don't hesitate to mention it to me. I'd love to take a peek!

Also, check out my recurring column, Gondolier's "What I Learnt in Riting Skool," at The Lazy, Yet Discerning Ficster--an excellent blog for Twilight, or really any fanfic reader or writer. In a nutshell, the blog promotes facets of quality creative writing to both new and experienced writers, using a medium (Twilight fanfiction) that is playful and beloved.

If you would like to discuss the writing craft with me, help when I have writer's block, want to talk stories, or would just like to say hi, I am very open to answering email and PMs.

1. Hydraulic Level 5 » reviews
Critics hailed Edward Cullen's novels as "masterful" and "brimstone beauty"-a genius of our time. Eh. I gave him my heart when I was four…and still, he left me for his stupid vampire books. Now he's an NYC elite...and I have extreme sports in Forks, WA.
