Hello everyone. I'm Rachael, and I share with many of you that certain affliction - that love/hate relationship with the Written Word. However, I'm one of those sorts who does a lot of planning inside my headspace before I ever commit anything to paper. This process can take years. Seriously. My poor drabbles are not yet/are no longer suitable for human eyes and I've taken them down in favor of some deadly and determined reworking.

My particular fandoms are rooted in the Aliens and Predator universes. I also like Stargate SG1 quite a lot and the Chronicles of Riddick series, as well as the Cthulhu Mythos, Transformers, and Harry Potter. When I finally work up the nerve to set fingers to keyboard again, expect a real Monster Mash.

Oh, and least I forgo some shameless self-promotion: I started out as an artist and then began to write about my drawings. If you want to see what damage I can do to a perfectly innocent piece of paper, please visit me at my gallery: http://rachaelm5.deviantart.com. I warn you, though, that I am prone to blather on at you if you're brave enough to leave a comment.
