Author has written 7 stories for How to Train Your Dragon, Big Hero 6, Sherlock, Voltron: Legendary Defender, and Brave, 2012.

Hi, I’m waveringshadow! I’m an Australian in my late teens (legally an adult now). I’m on Tumblr as waveringshadow, where I post fanart of improving quality, but I'm still a bit of a beginner.

So a bit about me…

Fandoms I am in:

How to Train Your Dragon

Song of the Lioness Quartet (book by Tamora Pierce)

Narnia (books more than movies, but I like both. Well, Prince Caspian was a bit stupid.)

Doctor Who

The Little Prince

Sherlock

Peter Pan

Alice in Wonderland

Pride and Prejudice

Voltron

Fullmetal Alchemist

Bungou Stray Dogs

(A few other anime but those two are my main ones.)

Fandoms I dither in from time to time:

Merlin

Big Hero 6 (it’s growing on me)

Hunger Games

Harry Potter

Tangled

Rise of the Guardians

Mulan

Beauty and the Beast (not the Disney movie, I had to look up who Gaston was)

Appearance: My profile picture is a very rough sketch of me. My face is a bit shorter and rounder, and my hair is longer. I am tall, as in over 6 foot. Light brown hair, reaches my hips when straight, often wild, wavy and un-brushed, but sometimes straight. Brown eyes, with a hint of green in them. Olive skin, tanned. I usually wear dark clothing, wear hair in a plait, braid or loose. When I'm at home, I am usually shadowed by my gorgeous cat, Tiny. (No, I did not name him.) He is sitting on my lap right now, making it very hard to type.

Reason for name: A case of ‘Quick, I need a cool name’. Shadow because I love the dark and mysterious, and wavering to reflect that I am forever rippling and changing, never taking a solid form.

Fav Book: Changes constantly. Probably the Narnia series at the moment.

Fav Movie: HTTYD 12, 2010 Alice in Wonderland, the Narnias and so it goes on.

Fav TV series: Soooo many. Doctor Who, Sherlock, Blackadder, Outnumbered etc. Basically lots of British TV, especially comedies.

Fav Music: I love movie sound tracks. I have the soundtrack to nearly all the fandoms I am in, and more. I also love Of Monsters and Men, Cat Empire, Passenger, the old Ed Sheeran and a few others.

Hobbies: I used to be a competitive swimmer, but now I just swim a couple of times a week. I am a horse rider and I play netball occasionally. I also do Tetrathlon, a combination of swimming, running, horse riding and pistol shooting. I love it! I also love archery and fencing, but there is no fencing clubs in my area and the archery meets clash with Pony Club. I also draw a lot, sew, photo edit occasionally, play keyboard and guitar very occasionally (and am very average at both), read a lot and of course couch potato-ing.

Religion: I go to an Anglican school but I am not religious myself. I do like the idea of multiple deities, however.

Pets: Two dogs, two cats and four horses. My horse is named Percy, he is a 17.3hh, ClydesdaleX, and flecked chestnut. I love him to bits.

Fears: I am terrified of dying. I know it seems obvious, but I actually have the occasional panic attack (though very brief) when I remember that I will die. Therefore I am scared of how quickly time passes and hate getting older, even though I have not even reached adulthood yet. I also am scared of moths, weirdly. Spiders, fine. Snakes, cool. Moths, argh!

The Guardian Games: The Odds of Five by SharKohen reviews
It's a game to die for: a charming blonde with 70ft worth of hair; a 'career' who couldn't - wouldn't kill; a determined redhead eager to make her mark; a shepherd boy the Capitol loves and a cryokinetic mutant who'd do anything to protect her sister. The Big Four Frozen/ROTBTFD Hunger Games AU, with deviations. Other Disney Dreamworks people too.

The Myth Of The Dragon Rider by melo'orukidea reviews
A decade ago the myth of a man who rides on the back of a dragon was born, creating an unsettling feeling among Vikings and spreading fear, but when a new part of the rumor arrives at Berk, Astrid and the others decide to go on a quest to find the truth behind this so called legend. What they didn't expect, however, was that they would find much more than what they were hoping for.

Persephone by sunflowerb reviews
She was meant to be the price for peace; her life in exchange for the Dragon Master's mercy.

How To Hide Your Spirit by AirFireWaterEarth reviews
Vikings have been fighting dragons for centuries, using their Spirit that they develop on their 16th birthday.

Crossing the Horizon by Thermit reviews
They were pieces on different gaming boards-a queen who refused to play and a knight who played by his own rules.

Vikings Don't Cry by PadawanGirl reviews
"'Gobber will keep you safe until I return,' he promised. Hiccup's lip quivered even more and tears streamed down his face. Stoick brushed them aside with meaty fingers. 'Vikings don't cry,' he reminded him, plucking up the toddler and seating him on Gobber's work bench. 'I'll be back for you.'"
