"In the cup of the hand there is no past, no future. There is only now. There is no time but the present.
(...) I know how to make each moment last for ever, because it already has." - Terry Pratchett, Thief of Time

Hello~

I’m called kim-onka, around here a fanfiction writer, reader and sometimes even translator. Of, in case anyone is wondering, the female persuasion. One who suffers from lack of organisation plus a weird sort of perfectionism and occasionally seeks satisfaction in the freedom of randomness. Writes mostly by means of catching herself in traps. Survives on reading, classical and film music, tea, daydreaming and the Tolkien legendarium.

I always answer reviews (reviews are love, but you knew that) - and if you write to me, I usually will respond, and sometimes I may get talkative, but don't let that worry you, please.

While I do not, on the whole, take requests, I do take suggestions – in other words, if there is something you would like, do not hesitate to tell me; I may or may not do it, but it has been known to work.

What else... ah, some of my older stories I'm not very proud of, anymore, but I won't be deleting them for various reasons, so either refrain from reading them, or, if you do, please don't treat them as representative of my style.

Open request: If you ever feel the need to refer to me anywhere, thank me, credit me, or mention me (or my stories) in any other way in any of your stories - or indeed if you do fanart based on my works - and it is not somewhere you have a reasonable expectation I will see, please let me know. I wouldn't be asking this if I hadn't already been taken by surprise a couple of times.
