| Introduction | I have been described as the female reincarnate of Sherlock Holmes, which, with my insufferable ego, I totally drink up. I like to think of myself as a nerd, or, rather, an intellectual badass (thanks go to the Facebook application "Pieces of Flair", to which I am addicted). I am also known across the seven seas as the fearsome Grammar Dragon; I have a tendency to roast people who make blatant grammatical mistakes. I spend quite some time reading, and have very few close friends. My dear Watson, as it were, actually exists! She and I don't share rooms in Baker Street, however, and she hasn't chronicled any of my glorious exploits. I tend to digress rather a lot and delight in using colossal words that are often not necessary. I am frightfully articulate. I resemble the Great Detective in these ways: I play violin; I'm tall, observant, and intellectual; I "loathe society with the whole of [my] bohemian soul"; and I like to think that I'm as eccentric as the fellow himself! On top of being a deadly Sherlockian, I am also a fantasy freak. I've been dreaming fantasy for ages, and constantly try to write stories about it. Who knows; maybe one will amount to something. |
