Personally, I generally only read people's author profiles en route to raiding their favorites for reading material, so I don't know if there's much point in filling this out, but what the heck.

I've been a nerd since I was a little girl, and sadly didn't know about some of the more fabulous aspects of nerd culture until much later. I'm old enough to remember the first incarnation of Transformers, and when movies came on VHS tapes. In other words, damn, I'm old. Fortunately I wear sunscreen, so people don't necessarily know it to look at me.

I've had multiple fandoms, but only started actually writing fic in the last couple of years. My first one was JRR Tolkien, but since I didn't know about fan fiction then, the world is mercifully spared any of my early work. And yes, I mean pre movies, unless you count that horrible animated one where the dwarves looked like flesh colored California Raisins.

Um, have some fic. I'm a painfully slow writer, and have several other time consuming hobbies that could easily be actual life paths in and of themselves if it weren't for that pesky "paying rent" issue. I live in a medium sized city on the East Coast of the United States, have a respectable day job, and moonlight as a painter.
