Author has written 1 story for Last of Us.

Hello there.

My name is Kelly. I started writing fan-fiction as a way to keep writing even when I need space from my major project.
I'm a postgrad student at uni, studying creative writing and literary studies. I know that I'll never make any money out of this in my lifetime, but I love reading and I love writing, and I figure that I would rather fail at something I love than succeed at something I don't care so much about.

Being a full-time writing student, a big part of my life is editing and being edited, so I'd like to think that I have fairly thick skin. My darlings most certainly have been killed. Any feedback is welcomed, though it would be great if it were constructive.

For other writers: my username is a reference to a book for writers called 'Bird by Bird' by Anne Lamott. I named myself this as a reminder to keep writing and everyday. The book is really helpful if anyone wants to order it from a local library.

Also: I'm Aussie, mate. For this reason, my spelling and punctuation might seem a bit off to some readers.

Anyway... *doffs hat*

Happy reading.

The Mountains and the Stars by Night Sky Bliss reviews
Life in Jackson after the end of the game. JoelxEllie romance. This story directly follows and is a sequel to a story I wrote called "The Truth". You don't have to read that to get into this, but it provides a little bit of background.

And when a dark figure from Joel's past appears, can their relationship survive what Joel must reveal to Ellie about himself? Joel/Ellie romance. Rated M for language and graphic sex.

The Way It Should Have Been by Julibee-Darling reviews
In the infinite spread of lighthouses...there had to be one where things were different. - BookBeth pairing. This is my mostly-canon retelling of Bioshock Infinite, but with the ending and approach I feel should have been taken. Rated M for adult-rated content.

Swear To Me reviews
This is set after the final scene of The Last of Us and is inspired by Neil Druckmann's interpretation of the game's ending. Here, Joel has to stop controlling and manipulating Ellie before they can be together. Rated for sex and language.
