About Me

I've been in the Silmarillionfandom since late 2001, when the movies inspired me to pick up my pen (or, more accurately, sit down at my keyboard) and start writing. My best-known work features the Fëanorians (especially Maedhros). My muse hasn't been very talkative lately, but I hope you enjoy her earlier output.
