My name is Katie, I'm a twenty-four year old and I love writing stories whether they're romance or horror or just little tales that I imagine could happen in whatever show/movie/book that I'm obsessed with. Pretty much all of my stories are OCs, because I find that it's a lot more interesting to add a new character into the mix to create new relationships and see what new things can happen. I try not to read other people's fanfictions while I'm writing, in case I take someone else's idea without thinking about it.

Here's a list of my favorite things:

Books: the Harry Potter series, the Hunger Games series, A Song of Ice and Fire, the Quarantine series, any Rainbow Rowell novel, Shanghai Girls, Dreams of Joy, the Lunar Chronicles, Band of Brothers, With The Old Breed

Music: Fall Out Boy, Panic! at the Disco, twenty one pilots, All Time Low, Hamilton soundtrack

TV shows: Band of Brothers, Fargo, Sons of Anarchy, The Pacific, The 100, Parks and Recreation, American Horror Story, Walking Dead, Community, Gravity Falls, Steven Universe, Fear The Walking Dead, Baby Daddy, and Prison Break

Movies: Spirited Away, Gone Girl, Star Wars, Easy A, Lady and the Tramp, Beauty and the Beast, Princess and the Frog, Black Hawk Down, Deadpool, Mad Max: Fury Road, Guardians of the Galaxy, Legally Blonde, Captain America: Civil War, A League of Their Own

Video Games: Until Dawn, Telltale's The Walking Dead, Wolf Among Us, The Last of Us, Life is Strange, Heavy Rain, Detroit: Become Human, Animal Crossing

And here are my favorite quotes just for the heck of it:

"Do or do not, there is no try." --Yoda

"The person who reads lives a thousand lives before they die, while the person who never reads lives only once." --George R.R Martin

"(What is love to you?) Love? It's just chilling, you know? Kicking it with somebody, talking, making mad stupid jokes. And, like, not even wanting to go to sleep, 'cause then you might be without 'em for a minute. And you don't want that." --Poussey (Orange is the New Black)

"I'm in love with places I've never been to and people I've never met." --John Green

"It's like coming home after a long trip. That's what love is like. It's like coming home." --Piper (Orange is the New Black)

"As long as you have friends, you have family." --Jeff (Community)

“The best fantasy is written in the language of dreams. It is alive as dreams are alive, more real than real ... for a moment at least ... that long magic moment before we wake.

Fantasy is silver and scarlet, indigo and azure, obsidian veined with gold and lapis lazuli. Reality is plywood and plastic, done up in mud brown and olive drab. Fantasy tastes of habaneros and honey, cinnamon and cloves, rare red meat and wines as sweet as summer. Reality is beans and tofu, and ashes at the end. Reality is the strip malls of Burbank, the smokestacks of Cleveland, a parking garage in Newark. Fantasy is the towers of Minas Tirith, the ancient stones of Gormenghast, the halls of Camelot. Fantasy flies on the wings of Icarus, reality on Southwest Airlines. Why do our dreams become so much smaller when they finally come true?

We read fantasy to find the colors again, I think. To taste strong spices and hear the songs the sirens sang. There is something old and true in fantasy that speaks to something deep within us, to the child who dreamt that one day he would hunt the forests of the night, and feast beneath the hollow hills, and find a love to last forever somewhere south of Oz and north of Shangri-La.

They can keep their heaven. When I die, I'd sooner go to Middle Earth.”
― George R.R. Martin

“There is a reason that most fanfiction authors, specifically girls, start with a Mary Sue. It’s because girls are taught that they are never enough. You can’t be too loud, too quiet, too smart, too stupid. You can’t ask too many questions or know too many answers. No one is flocking to you for advice. Then something wonderful happens. The girl who was told she’s stupid finds out that she can be a better wizard than Albus Dumbledore. And that is something very important. Terrible at sports? You’re a warrior who does backflips and Legolas thinks you’re THE BEST. No friends? You get a standing ovation from Han Solo and the entire Rebel Alliance when you crash-land safely on Hoth after blowing up the Super Double Death Star. It’s all about you. Everyone in your favorite universe is TOTALLY ALL ABOUT YOU.

I started writing fanfiction the way most girls did, by re-inventing themselves.

Mary Sues exist because children who are told they’re nothing want to be everything.”
