If you're reading this right now, then you've probably been reading one of my stories. For that, I thank you for taking the time to do so, and I really hope you're enjoying it. I write because I love it, and because I see so many people really enjoying my work and saying so many positive things about it.

As you can probably tell from the fact that I have written a couple of How To Train Your Dragon fanfics, I am absolutely obsessed with How To Train Your Dragon. I adore the movie, and I have read the books, but the movie is infinitely preferable.

As well as my stories here, I've collaborated with LesserWraith on Anything for Life. I've also got a new collaboration! It's with GuySuperDuper and it's called Washed Out.

I would describe myself as shy, quiet, caring, solitary, and weird. My favourite things to do are writing (duh), reading, drawing and learning. I do some HTTYD art, and all the covers of my stories are my own (The cover for Anything for Life is also one of my works), but I wouldn't call myself a proper artist because I have no imagination, or enough skill to actually create some original work. My favourite subject is Chemistry, but I really enjoy Maths and the other sciences too.

When I'm not obsessing over HTTYD, I play the clarinet and saxophone (and a little piano), I watch House, my favourite TV show which I am also vaguely addicted to, and I teach myself Chemistry. I'm also a fan of video games, HALO, Portal and the Professor Layton series being my favourites.

I'm so erratic with updating that I'm not even going to try and promise when I will do so. Usually, it's around once a week or so, but sometimes there are delays because of other work and things. I try my best to get in some solid writing every day, but some days it's just not possible. Other times, I lose inspiration for a while, and it takes some other random stimulus to give me a reason to start writing again. For any of you that have been following Dragon School for some time, you will know that I neglected it for over a month because of my lack of inspiration. Now, I am pleased to report that it Part 1 has been completed, and Part 2 has been roughly planned and is in progress. So, hopefully, there shouldn't be any other huge delays in my updates.

For any aspiring writers out there, I say just go for it. Get your idea down on paper before you forget it and you lose your chance. I took the leap, and it's taken me on an unforgettable whirlwind journey that I don't ever think I'm going to regret. Be brave! Write even if you're afraid to. The best thing about FanFiction is the anonymity- there's no names or faces. And everyone is always supportive of new authors. Seriously, if you get the chance to write, take it with both hands. That sort of thing doesn't come often.

Beta Reading

I am happy to accept requests to beta chapters, just drop me a PM and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I specialise in punctuation, spelling, vocabulary and grammar. I've only beta'd for a few people so far, but I'm willing to do most things. If you're in need of a beta reader and you're interested, take a look at my beta profile to see if I'm the reader for you.

Story Updates

Dragon School: Part 1 is completed and updated! Part 2 has been planned, and the first three chapters have been posted and updated. Chapter 4 will be in progress soon.

Birthdays: Two surprise chapters up for this- and I hope to have a next one up pretty soon. Right now, this story is my main focus.

Fallen Guardian: This story is discontinued until further notice.

Anything for Life: COMPLETE! Thank you so much to everyone who read, reviewed, and joined us on an incredible journey.

Washed Out: I took the reins with the first chapter, but Chapter 2 has not yet been started.

Losing Infinity: My first ever non-HTTYD fanfiction is up! Chapter 2 is now uploaded. My first foray into a new- ish genre.

So, all that's left to say is my favourite quote from HTTYD:

'Excuse me, barmaid, I'm afraid you brought me the wrong offspring. I ordered an extra large boy with beefy arms, extra guts and glory on the side. This here, this is a talking fishbone!'

'No, you're thinking about this all wrong. It's not what you look like, it's what's inside that he can't stand.'

'Thank you, for summing that up.'

Well, actually it might not be my favourite. There are quite a few jostling for top spot in my head. Although I think if I tried to write them all down, 1. My fingers would start to ache, 2. You'd get bored of reading them and 3. I would probably just end up reciting the whole movie anyway.
