TheShippyQueenhide bio
 Author has written 25 stories for Downton Abbey. http:///index.php?mforum=downtonabbeyfanawardsHello, thanks for taking the time to look at my profile. I've been a bit of geek for a long time when it comes to shipping couples, I have quite an issue with obsessions and once I get a favourite ship I become a little obsessed with it until it plays itself out! I have a huge love of period dramas, I just love the way life was back in the past. I'm sure I was born in the wrong era or I've been re-incarnated and just can't let go! LOL :D So my favourite programmes are Downton Abbey, Star Trek Voyager, X Files, Neighbours, Shameless, Benidorm, Bleak House, Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, Upstairs Downstairs and many many more that I can't think of right now. My current favourite ship is DA's Anna and Bates. I do also ship a bit of Branson and Gwen and of course Cora and Robert! I also ship from Star Trek Voyager Janeway and Chakotay and Mulder and Scully from X Files. Again I have others but I won't bore you with those! So why am I here? Well I'd like to say it's because I have too much time on my hands but I don't, in fact I spend way too much time on here when I have a million other things I should do but oh well...! :D I just like fanfiction, I like to write it though I am not good and I just enjoy my obessions and what safer place than here??? HEHE Well thanks again for popping by, if you read my fics then do please review! |
