They say life is a stage. They're wrong. The stage is my life.

My name is Tanya but I go by Misty/Tan/Tanni most of the time. I'm 18, half-Aussie, living near London. My first love is theatre, and all things to do with drama: Shakespeare, musicals, films...you name it. My heroes are Kerry Ellis, Ruthie Henshall and Idina Menzel; they have inspired me absolutely more than anyone and I cannot express just how much I respect and admire them, along with many other incredibly talented performers I look up to. I fangirl Wicked far too much and I don't know why it's got to me the way it has, but it has changed my life with the people it's brought into it and the friends I've made. I adore Jason Robert Brown and Scott Alan and all those quirky little shows no-one except us theatre geeks know about.

In terms of non-theatre things, I love Buffy, Grey's, Desperate Housewives, Lost, Friends... I love to read, but it takes me ages to find good books to get into... His Dark Materials and Lord of the Rings are my faves, also love Virginia Andrews and J. D. Robb, Jodi Picoult's books are pretty good too...

I have the mental age of a five year old half the time (Disney FTW!!) and never want to grow up. Peter Pan is one of the best books ever written, I adore it.

Fics:

It's unlikely that any of my fics are going to get finished. It's just been too long now. (With the exception of my Wicked100 challenge that I have decided to continue.) I also have a couple of fics and poems on fictionpress; my pen-name is wiccan-faerie.

Now you've read this, you can go read and review some of my fics! Pretty please? Okay then.
