Hello, my name is Anne Blair. I have been reading and writing fanfiction for years, and I especially love Titanic, but I also like Shakespeare (especially Hamlet and Othello), Batman, Pirates of the Caribbean, Star Wars, and Earth's Children.

I live in overcrowded California and work in a continuation high school library. I am an avid outdoorswoman, environmentalist, feminist, and anti-war activist. I support women's rights, science, unions, and freedom of speech and expression. I am against the death penalty, war, censorship, and environmental degradation. I dislike religious fundamentalists of any faith.
