Hi, I'm Nerd of Camelot. Here are some things you may want/need to know about me.

Name: Allison Hyperion Pierson

Nicknames: Allie, Nerd of Camelot, Nerdy, Nerdy von Sherbert, literally anything else you think up

Interests: Too many to list out, but I do still enjoy Sonic and Yu-Gi-Oh!

Age: 20

Occupation: Part-time author, full-time student, and full-time hot mess

Prominent Writing Flaw: I leave stories unfinished far too often and I imagine my readership suffers for it.

Prominent Writing Talent: If I'm writing with a character I like enough, I do pretty well getting into their heads and making them a believable, three-dimensional character. Happens more often nowadays than when I started posting stuff.

Thing That Makes Me Happiest: Honest positive feedback! Nothing makes me happier than knowing that the half-assed first drafts I toss out were enjoyed.

Thing That Makes Me Angriest: People who leave rude comments just for the sake of leaving rude comments. It's one thing to have honest, reasonable critiques and it's another to just be a crotch biscuit. And, also! Don't whip out critiques about my stuff unless I ask you to! That's rude as hell! And don't do it to other people either!!!

Upcoming Updates: Who's to say? Stuff happens when it happens

Proudest moments: 12/12/16 (Received GED), 10/18/17 (survived until adulthood), 5/11/18 (graduated community college). Additionally, someone once asked me if I was Satan, which was neat.

Languages: Fluent in English, semi-fluent in Swedish, and struggling with even speaking full sentences in German and Spanish. Learning new languages is hard.

Enjoy my work? Then please consider supporting me as an author by buying my novels on Amazon. You can find them on my Author Page! You can also throw money directly to my or Ko-Fi (dm me for links, since FF doesn't want to let me link them on my own).

Current Authoring Status: Part-Time.

I don't have a job, currently, but I am a full-time University student. I try to write every day, but not all of it gets posted at all and the vast majority of it does not make it onto this account because I forget it exists for months at a time. I post more often on my Archive of Our Own account.

This is the part where I used to say that if you came from Hellfire Writes' account, you should be careful because she overstates my abilities. I'm no longer of that opinion, because hey. I am pretty freakin' stellar at writing, especially when I actually write more than one draft of something instead of flinging my thoughts onto the page and praying before posting it with no editing.

And you know what that is?

Growth, babeyyy

Most Favorites

Series To Write: Glass.

Fictional Character: I can't pick one, I have too many I'm interested in right now.

OC/Character: Good question! I don't know.

Book: I've read too many to choose.

Moment In Writing: When I get to use ideas I've had for the story from the beginning. Makes me happy. Also when people ask me if I'm Satan.

Least Favorites

Series To Write: Pretty much everything I've got on here now. I love all of them dearly but I just don't love writing them anymore. I'm hoping I can regain that love once I've finished off some of the other series I'm working on.

Fictional Character: Professor Umbridge, as always.

OC/Character: Even better question! No clue.

Book: I don't think my answer of Pendragon: The Quillan Games will ever change. The series itself was strong and I loved it to pieces but this one just dragged.

Moment In Writing: When the rating of a story has to go up because both my characters and I tend to use 'adult' language because the more child-friendly equivalents just don't feel right in the circumstances.

Places to contact me:

Here on FF.

I used to list my emails and I think I had my Tumblr here at one point, and maybe one of my Facebook pages. You can PM me for that stuff if you really want it.

Things of Note

If it's getting posted here or on AO3, it's probably not beta-read. At all. So there are probably some errors sprinkled in and they're my fault but I also really don't care so please don't go out of your way to tell me about them if you catch them.

If it's not a commissioned fic, please assume I wrote it for my own enjoyment because that's what I do in my downtime. If you enjoy my work, awesome!! If you like so many other people think my talent is better used for original content, buy my books, heathen.

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the works for which I write fanfiction, only the original characters contained within unless otherwise stated.

Disclaimer x2 Combo: I cannot guarantee that any work on this account will be finished. Interests come and go, after all. But the best way to get a story finished is to leave consistent feedback on it and pray.

Q&A Section

Q: When will [story] be updated?
A: As soon as I have the time and inspiration to work on it.

Q: What is your goal in writing?
A: To become a better author, mostly. I also hope to one day write a story for every genre.

Q: How long have you been writing?
A: I honestly have no clue but the first time I remember writing a story was when I was 8, so it's been like 12 or 13 years. I used to estimate that I started in 2011 or so but it turns out that was just when I started showing other people.

Q: Did the events of Chapter 24 take place while the fighting was going on outside? (Edge of the Night)
A: My answer to this used to be "yes" until I realized the time-related and some story-related inconsistencies that would crop up because of that. So for the sake of everything else... No. They didn't take place while the fighting was going on outside, they took place much earlier. Similar events took place while the fighting was going on, however.

Q: Will [story] ever be finished?
A: I don't know. Maybe. Nothing is for sure right now except for the fact that I'm busy as heck.
To simplify, here's a short list of the ones I'm sincerely hoping to finish and the ones that are really just up in the air.
Sincerely Hoping To Finish...
Cobalt Twilight
Missing Ringtail
Honest To Goodness
The Night Chronicles
Undecided...
Literally everything else.
