About Me
Initially a LotR movie fan, I couldn't get enough of Middle-earth, unearthed a copy of The Silmarillion from my mother's attic and eventually got lost in the History of Middle-earth. I started writing fic and making photomanip artworks at some point in between.
These days, when still active in fandom (in between tackling depression and working, that is unfortunately a little rarer than I'd like) I'm all about female characters and femslash, as well as an unrepentant nerd about the details and languages in the Legendarium.
I'd love to hear from you!
