Not much to say about me... I'm 17, half (Italian)Swiss, half South African; Christian, living in Taiwan, 'missionary kid', pacifist, environmentalist, rather old-fashioned...

As concerns my writing, I've been scribbling since I was four. I write to learn or find answers for myself, but also to think about how others would feel in particular situations. I write fantasy because I'm too busy with school (AHEM. Correction: too lazy) to do research on real things, and basing stories on my own life has never worked out so far. (I'm trying, though :P)

As for my stories... My poetry can be divided into three categories: humorous / silly (Princess Chicken and Writer's Night), sad (Merina's Lament) or religious (on Fictionpress). I tend to not write poetry much. It either comes to me by itself, or not at all.

Shorter works are Trust in Me, The Outcasts, The Last Elf, Funeral, the Werethings series, The Promise and... wait, I think that's all. They are either funny, religious or snippets from longer works. Usually.

My long stuff is at permanent risk of being ditched (classic example is At the End of Broken Dreams, though I'm trying to continue it), but Love your Enemies is semi-complete by now, if you don't mind reading the scrappy version while I snail my way through the rewrite. Its sequel, The Last will be First, is slow but it will definitely come along - the only problem is that its rate of continuation depends on my work on the LyE rewrite. So the reason why it's so painfully slow is because the rewrite is so painfully slow too =P

Things that influence my writing are often books, movies, music, and whatever I'm learning in school at the moment, or, very often, things that make me really mad or unhappy, for some reason. o.O

Recent News: (April 08)

• There's a new Love your Enemies illustration by Katarina V. Baralic (do look at the rest of her gallery, it's awesome) right here. ^_^ Yayness!!
  </li>
• Chapter 5 and 6 of the LyE rewrite is in progress, but my holidays are over and I'll have to start studying for exams, so it will take me a while to get anything done...
  </li>
• Ruhan is currently going on my nerves, because her story never feels right. I wasn't happy with the first three chapters, I took them down, I sat down to start the story differently, and I decided I liked the first version better after all. *grumbles* Anyhow, I'm rather stuck (I tend to be bad with beginnings), so it might take a while... AGAIN.
  </li>
• The Werethings may be back sometime soon in a third story! ^_^ Expect it around the beginning of May or so... it shouldn't take me long. (Cecy is so much better behaved than Ruhan. :P)</li>
