nattysuitshide bio
 Author has written 3 stories for Bones, and NCIS. I started writing fanfiction at 12, on paper. The internet wasn't around back then. Then the internet appeared and I consumed a disgusting amount of X-Files and Stargate fanfic. I'm old (husband&kid-kind of old) and I realize now that fanfic life is not just for your teenage and young adult years. Oh no. I don't write it anymore but I always have WIPS in my head and at least 4 times a year I go on a fanfic binge of Mass Effect fanfiction. I'm in that group of people who played Mass Effect once, had some sort of emotional collapse due to deep immersion in the game, recovered from it for a year and then needed to play again. I cried at the end, again. Immediately after finishing the second round I knew I wanted to play again...with mods. |
