Author has written 15 stories for Jane and the Dragon, Dark Crystal, Adventure Time with Finn and Jake, Teen Titans, Fullmetal Alchemist, and Danny Phantom.

Hello! My name is Laura. (Former username lauraeffingiero; you can find me on tumblr Ao3 etc. as lalaofthealpacas.)

I just graduated and majored in nothing related to writing whatsoever, so this is how I’m hanging onto that creativity. I also love drawing and painting, cooking in all forms, and knitting various junk mostly for me because I am a selfish sort.

Random favorites of mine in no particular order:
The LOTR movies, nautiloid fossils, the colors orange and yellow, the Hadestown soundtrack, Avatar: the Last Airbender, autumn, Pink Floyd, kittens, every type of sock imaginable (except toe socks because my toes come as a package deal only), Jane Austen, dinosaurs, Skyrim (and Oblivion and Morrowind, but where’s the damn romance Bethesda bc that is a NECESSITY), creative speech patterns, Hozier, Dragon Age Origins, weird ice cream flavors, ladies, Adventure Time, a good cocktail or a not-so-good one that’s free, Always Sunny in Philly, leaves, and funky bakeware.

Info on Story Updates:

JatD: (4/5/20) Still here!!! I had to rewrite the second half of Ashes so that has slowed me down but that's close to done (again, since supposedly it was done to start with lol) and then I'm back to my main horrendously neglected fic! Meanwhile hope everyone is staying safe and healthy!

(10/22/19) I'm posting a shortish chapter fic from 2018 Janther week that's already finished, and while that happens I'm in the process of finishing this fic! I have made many promises and clearly have a very bad follow through rate, but I can still promise that I'll finish this thing if it goddamn kills me.

Adventure Time: On hiatus.

Teen Titans: See above. I hope to return to this soon though!
