 Author has written 6 stories for Merlin. Longtime writer, longtime reader. I have several stories in various stages of completion. Working a very busy job and having various other hobbies as well as religious and family obligations, I can't give a time frame as to how often my stories will go up but I will try to only post a story after it is finished so my readers (whoever you lovely people are) will never have to worry about being left hanging in the middle of something I have inexplicably lost interest in. I also have an AO3 (Archive Of Our Own) account under the same Username Generic facts about me that you may or may not want to know: Gender: Female Age: Don't you know not to ask a lady that? Race: Human (I think) I Live In: A house (boring I know, I should move to an airplane) Day job: Pharmacy Tech Place in sibling order: 4 out of 5 (So I'm that movie you really liked but didn't love) Favorite Color: Blue, Cyan, Azure, Navy, Indigo, Phthalo, Ultramarine, Cobalt, Prussian, etc. Favorite Foods: Sushi, Pizza, Bean Burritos, Shrimp & Grits Favorite Movies: Star Wars (I like Return of the Jedi best), Beauty and the Beast (Both versions are great although my childhood memories want me to favor the cartoon), The Princess Bride (So many quotes) and many, many more. Hobbies: Reading, Painting, Writing, Drawing (Can never decide which order to list these in hence the Username) And that's enough of that... Hope I relieved your boredom for a few minutes. List of prompts for my Inktober Prompts story. I'll list them under separate years but they will be mixed up when posted. Just depends on which ones I finish first. I may never get to all of these so feel free to write your own stories based on what you see.

Adventures In 5th Century Hairdressing reviews
For many years Lady Morgana got away with far more in terms of attitude and personal appearance than a young woman of her age and status should.
