My name:

This account is for my stories and my Percy Jackson and the Olympians/Newsies faves and subs. My other account, for everything else, is Melascath. I'm still in the process of moving my non-Newsies and non-PJO favorites there.

Elke - a morphed name of a book, Elske, by Cynthia Voigt. I loved her series about that fantasy world (incl. On Fortune's Wheel, Jackaroo, & Elske). The name Elke reminds me of the forest, is Dutch in origin, and it's roots mean "noble kind, sort, or type".

fa - means that I have a title. So treat me like royalty. And, yes, it comes from Tamora Pierce's Circle of Magic series.

Talia - I took this from the Stravaganza series by Mary Hoffman. It's the name of an old-fashioned fantasy world and an AU Renaissance-age Italia. Later, I found out that it was actually a Jewish name meaning morning dew.

Projects I hope to get around to someday...

The Office: Did you ever notice that when Andy floated away on the Dunder-Mifflin trip to the beach, you never learn how he found his way back home? With help from Kare, I hope to explain this phenomenon.
Newsies: I want, someday, to write a Sprace fanfic, hopefully modern-day, perhaps even an AU. And I want to write a good one.
Harry Potter: A DMHG fic spanning the fifth to the 'eighth' year, showing what could've happened had JKR not characterized Malfoy as a bullying, pretentious coward, and nothing more. There's a very little chance that I will actually write this fic, however. It would be a massive project.
