OrangeShipperhide bio
 Author has written 91 stories for Stargate: SG-1, and Downton Abbey. Hello! Aside from three very early Stargate SG-1 fanfics, welcome to my sizeable repository of Downton Abbey writings. Nearly all Matthew/Mary, usually together, occasionally on their own, with many guest appearances along the way. A rather alarming number happen to be M-rated. What can I say...! If you're familiar with Tumblr, my blog over there can be found here - do pop over! If you're a tweeter, my own account is @ClunkHall - please feel free to follow or say hello. Tweeting usually consists of writing updates, RL mutterings and sudden attacks of feelings about M/M. I hope you enjoy what you find! And have a lovely day. :) |
