Frankie in Likehide bio
 Author has written 5 stories for Dragon Age. I've had some fanart commissioned of Cullen and Toriana during a scene in Chapter 14 of In Darkness Enveloped! It's my new profile pic here on FFNet. The artist is https://twitter.com/debhols (@DebHols) and she's amazing, I highly recommend going to her for any commissioning needs! Here's a link to the piece: https://i(dot)imgur(dot)com/FAAmnfR.jpg Please do not share this image without providing credit to the artist, @DebHols on Twitter, and me for my OC Toriana. It's been years, I've grown up and left TTWC behind. So sorry to all my faithful readers who I left in the dust! I tried going back to write more but honestly after rereading I just felt so disappointed in my writing and my portrayal of all the characters that I couldn't stomach it. Thank you so much to everyone who read AUA and TTWC and commented and favorited, you are all wonderful people and I'll cherish you always! That being said, I'm working on a new Amell/Cullen fanfic that's taking an entirely different turn, and takes into account the events of DAI while weaving into that story. I sincerely hope that any of you previous readers who waited so long for TTWC to be updated will be happy with this new story, as I'm pouring far more time and attention into it than I did with AUA and TTWC. Plus it's still the same Toriana, though she's slightly different and events from the past aren't exactly the same, I'm sure you'll see some parallels! And always, don't ever hesitate to message me, whether it's with a question about any of my stories, any input on my writing or storytelling, or simply to say hi! |
