Author has written 25 stories for Les Miserables, Lord of the Rings, Master and Commander, Sherlock Holmes, Doctor Who, and Horatio Hornblower.

Notices:

26/07/11 - Well, it's been a while since I was here last. I hope someone stops by to read the latest offering.

06/02/08 - I've started writing in the Sharpe fandom, but since there isn't a category for it here it won't get posted. You can find these pieces here at my fic journal; http://fleet-everland.livejournal.com/profile

03/04/07 - Huzzah! Over a thousand hits for "The Monkshood Plant" and still going. Thank you to all readers, reviewers and everyone else for being so patient.


Recent Updates:

29th July, 2011 - New Story; "Coincidence". In Progress. First foray into the Doctor Who fandom, and hopefully not my last.

9th October, 2008
- New Story; "Legitimate Questions". Complete. First attempt in the Sherlock Holmes fandom.
--
21st March, 2008
- New Story; "To the End". Complete. Sequel to "TGoaV". For the UNOPOBL RL Moot '07.
--
19th December, 2007 -
New Story; "Thunder Overhead". Complete. Hornblower/Aubreyad crossover. For the UNOPOBL RL Moot '07.

Fic-related:

1) As I am perpetually living in the 19th Century the majority of my fics are of the Historical persuasion.
2) Expect very little continuity between stories - I have no main "character arcs" as others do - as far as I know. The only things that will be carried across are a few OCs of mine, although their personalities/relationships to one another may change slightly depending on the need of the story.
3) I like to experiment a lot. People have congratulated me on originality, but this is mainly because most of the ideas I come up with are so blatantly absurd no one's mad enough to try them.

Oh, and -

4) If you have ever heard of or come across werewolf!Javert or vampire!Stephen Maturin, it started here first, folks! I think I might also have been responsible for the noticable rise in Les Miz ghost stories on this site a couple of years ago, but I don't have sufficient evidence to lay a claim.


Personal:
I'm British (English to be precise) and I'm female. I have been writing fanfiction for the Internet for six years, and I'm currently reading History at university. I am probably one of the few people in the world who've managed to get a split lip, black eye, front teeth knocked back and a sprained thumb on a bouncy castle. In one evening.

I am a fan of Old and New Doctor Who, Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels, Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey/Maturin series, C.S. Forester's Hornblower series, The Goons, The Navy Lark, The Goodies, and the Sharpe novels by Bernard Cornwell. I like trees and wide open green spaces. I also love the sea.

Ask me about:
1) Wellington
2) Javert
3) Theatre
4) Age of Sail
5) Vampires
6) Fantasy
7) Gothic Horror

Don't ask me about:
1) Politics
2) Reality TV
3) Hunting
4) Petrol Prices
5) Zombies
6) Teletubbies
7) The Sixties
