PLEASE NOTE: I am previously known as both "Alerae Eirtoren" and "WHATfantasy." I have permanently changed my usernames on all the major sites I use (ffnet, AO3, Tumblr, sometimes DeviantArt). I am now, and forever will be, "Mina Glasse." Sorry for any confusion!

ALSO NOTE: The House Aestus series in on an indefinite hiatus. I haven't abandoned it, I've just grown unhappy with the plot and storytelling in "Brotherhood" and have decided to completely rewrite everything. And yes, I do mean everything. The new story keeps a few major concepts from the original, of course, but it's wholly unique otherwise; a different tale and, in my opinion, a better one. It's called "Listener," it is indeed well underway, and it will be posted as soon as I'm happy with it.

I am a linguist, gamer, amateur artist, and a lover of foreign languages and the classics. My updates tend to be somewhat infrequent because of my very hectic and involved work schedule, but I am the kind of person who likes to finish what I've started.

Thank you for visiting my page. I hope, dear reader, that my stories are as enjoyable for you to read as they are for me to write.
