 Author has written 2 stories for North and South, and Greek Mythology. A long-time self-proclaimed nerd, it wasn't long before I discovered fan fiction. It was MUCH longer before I decided to write any (despite being a writer of my own fiction). So I guess I'm doing this now. Spending some quality time with characters I love from various stories that enchant me is nothing new, but giving them my words to say is more fun than I could have foreseen. Fare-forward, travellers. Keep reading, writing, and loving the things that you love. Love always, H |
