Greetings and salutations. I'm Julia, I'm 23 years old, and I only hop on here every couple of years. I hope you enjoy the garbage I've decided to keep, though you can definitely tell which fics I wrote when I was 12, 16, 20, etc. (GoDDAMN I wish someone could've told me back then that being a big fish in a literal puddle didn't mean I was actually a good writer...but we all learn how mediocre we are when we get to college, don't we?)

If you're currently cringing at something I wrote a long time ago, I apologize. Please don't judge me too harshly though, I WAS an idiot child and I'd like to think I'm smarter/more woke now than what is represented in my old writing. Every misspelling and questionably-phrased description and lame-ass reference from 2008 and obvious lack of understanding of how money/jobs/life works makes me want to DIE, but again, I was a CHILD. So, out of sheer sentimental value, I can't bring myself to delete anything. Middle-School Julia needed to be shoved in a locker for her crimes against the English language, but she makes me feel better about Semi-Adult Julia, so I need that little goblin.

Anyway, to the people asking whether or not I'll continue that fossil they just dug up:

All my atrocious middle school Phantom of the Opera oneshots: HELL NO.

Shame: Probably not. The fandom is so tiny it's hard to stay motivated. But maybe, if there's a Tanz der Vampire revival.

Not Another Coffee Shop AU: Probably not, as everyone knows romance dies once the couple gets together (or else it just goes downhill like season 8 of any show ever) BY THE WAY: this fic has more chapters posted on archiveofourown. My profile there is electricjulia. Title of the fic is the same.

OBLIGATORY BOOK PROMOTION:

Philautia is a contemporary psychological thriller I'm currently in the process of editing. If you lean towards the ~problematique~ ships depicted in my fanfics then there's a good chance you'd like this (and if you read a certain fanfic of mine from years and years ago you might notice some similarities involving a dog named Thunder)--but keep in mind Philautia is NOT a romance, and is not for those who want fluff, smut, or healthy, wholesome relationships. HOWEVER, I wouldn't consider it an overly triggering edgelord fest, either. Grimdark bullshit like wife-beating or child abuse or sexual assault has never been my cup of tea, so you will never find it in my writing.

Blurb: After saving a woman from drowning, Mia Wick becomes the object of a stranger's obsession. Her friends don't believe her. Her attempts at avoidance never last. As Mia fights to maintain her sanity and freedom, she discovers that her tormenter is closer and more powerful than she ever imagined.
