Hello all!

First of all, I love private messages. I've just discovered how interesting it is to talk to people on this website about the stories we read here or the ones they're based on. If you want to message me to talk about books or movies, I will happily talk about them with you for days on end. I've done it, it's fun. Never be afraid to PM me for any reason; I'll definitely answer you, and if you want to have a conversation about a fic you found or something you'd like help with, or even just to say you love angry characters (so do I), you'll have a willing conversation partner. It's part of the reason I love this website so much, because there's so much to read and discuss. Or if you need a beta, usually I can do that too.

I must say, I'm more of a reader than a writer, but sometimes I get an idea stuck in my head and until I write it out it'll just fester and grow. Those ideas are the ones that get published. =D

Pride and Prejudice is my favorite book, and Darcy is far and away my favorite fictional character ever thought of. I'm pretty new to the P&P fandom. I've been reading the fics for months, and I've just finished my first story for it. I'd like to write more for it, because I really enjoyed writing "A Lesson of Hope," but I don't have any ideas for it. If anyone has any suggestions for a story they'd like to see, please send me a PM and we can come up with a story together! I really love to write, but I like to collaborate with other people because my ideas for writing tend to be very limited. That's why I tend to stick to one-shots.

I don't stick to P&P either. I'm also a huge fan of the Harry Potter fandom. I also like The Inheritance Cycle (holy crap those books were good), Bones, though I haven't watched it much recently, Burn Notice, and The Pretender. I haven't really branched out into other fandoms yet but that's because I'm still very into what I'm reading now, mainly Pride and Prejudice and Harry Potter.

I hope you enjoy my work and I'd love to hear from you!

Mary
