Author has written 2 stories for Doctor Who, and Hetalia - Axis Powers. Fandoms: Hetalia and Doctor Who. I also love any book with a decent plot that is well written. Available to beta works. Personal Info: Hello! Um, I suppose I should start by telling you about myself. The name I chose, Libros Lectori, is (as far as I can tell from Google Translate) Latin for The Reader of Books, which is the name of the first chapter in Roald Dahl's Matilda. I spend most of my time reading, so it's rather appropriate. I read anything and everything from textbooks to fantasy to cereal boxes. Other than reading, my favorite thing to do is make things, like cookies and hats. I have a massive sweet tooth and generally have some form of sugary junk food on my person, to the point that my friends say I'm the 'Cookie Queen.' I also love music. Both my favorite and least favorite thing about where I live (Washington) is the rain. Speaking of Washington, we are not all sparkly vampires and werewolves. We aren't all Bill Gates, and we don't all... scratch that, most of the people I know are addicted to Starbucks. So... we're only vampires if you happen to be a Grande Latte or something. Oh, and most of us aren't hipsters, as far as I know (the difference is that hipsters actually care about their image). Most of us are nerds. Seattle was one of the few places in the US to air the Doctor Who 50th anniversary live in theaters, and we are the only place in the US that still airs Classic Doctor Who.
