Biography:   whoooer! Haven't been here in a while

*dusts cobwebs*

So, I think I created this account in the very early 2000's? Who knows. Either way it was veryveryvery out of date! I fell out of fanfiction for a while and completely forgot I even had this account or Stories of Arda even existed until I was linked to a story here from the MEFA's a couple of weeks ago. (apologies to Stories of Arda and all associates)

But now I am back!
So....
Please Note: My fanfiction.net account under this penname (also linked from here) is where all of my work can be found. For purposes of presenting a more respectable front I am only posting newer and more polished stories on this, and other fanfiction websites I have recently joined. Most of my older dated work is, as you can expect, not all that spectacular, its very tempting to delete a lot of my older work but I feel I should leave it somewhere for history's sake!

A Rohanian who eats like a hobbit and wishes she was an elf ;)

I am of the female variety and living happily with a very nice man in a very nice little home full of fun books, music and films that refuse to stop inspiring me.

I like jogs, dogs, walks, visiting castles/historic sites, history, the countryside and wide open fields/spaces, forests, the beautiful English landscape in general, reading, cooking, horse riding, my hugely ignoble steed (bless), photography, pear cider, music, breakfast, newcastle brown ale, writing when I get time and inspiration, gigs, eating, whiskey... Crabbies Alcoholic Ginger Beer!!!

bullet Journey Home Last Updated: 7/16/2007
An account of Celebrian's capture in the Mountains and the brutality and horror of this event. This may seem a bit like a PWP but the final chapter is concerned with how such an experience altered Celebrian and just how much healing she needs. My first real experiment with writing the depressing and the disgusting. Constructive criticism very welcome. Note: I have read far more graphic stories under the 'M' rating though if this story offends you I will remove it and anyone else who wis
