 Author has written 5 stories for Lord of the Rings, Avengers, Suits, Harry Potter, and James Bond. Hello! I'm passionate about many stories, but my favorites are Lord of the Rings, Avengers, Pride and Prejudice, the Inuyasha manga/anime, Harry Potter, Merlin, and Sherlock...quite a random collection. I've only just started writing fanfiction with my first story written for Lord of the Rings, and a few dabbling in the Avengers and Suits (TV show) fandoms. Between Freedom and Loyalty was an idea I had for a very long time. There are so many stories out there with a mortal woman from our world winding up with the Fellowship, or perfect elven women loved by all. I wanted a wild heroine with a chip on her shoulder and a difficult time getting along with others. Lainien means "free woman," and I wanted to give her a sense of danger and a reckless freedom, while also grounded by her commitments and loyalties. My story will force her to choose many times between her prized, most cherished freedom, and that of her pride and unrelenting loyalty that she expects from herself. Please send me your comments, suggestions, and critiques, as I know I grow as a writer because of it. Thanks in advance for reading, and I hope to deliver to you all! UPDATE: I have created a second tumblr specifically for my fanfiction followers. I'll post updates and pictures for everyone, along with tidbits from stories that I've cut out. Here's the link -- thingsthatmake--me dot tumblr dot If you're interested in my personal account that isn't so focused on fanfiction writings, here's the link (be careful, they're very similar) thingsthat-makeme dot tumblr dot com You can find my profile on Archive of our Own under the same username. |
