we_fortunate_sons@yahoo.co.uk BioHaving been incredibly slow in discovering the internet, I made up for it by diving into fanfic and never climbing out again. I have written over sixty fanfics myself, fifty of which I'm now terribly ashamed of, and all of which I pretend don't exist when I publish original works in the real world. I am a transplanted Welshman who has trouble finding means to stay in Wales, where the cost of housing and difficulty in finding work routinely defeat my ambitions. I hold BAs in History and Literature, minored in Asian Studies and Creative Writing, and an MA in Welsh History from the University of Wales. With this broadly applicable degree, I anticipate a career of being someone's secretary. However, I have been able to put my massive education to good (well, dubious) use as a writer. My published works include an award-winning short story set in Devon, a collection of poems in Welsh or about Wales, and a play about Elizabethan great Kit Marlowe. My first, and now extinct, fanfic was written for Bakeretsu Hunters, followed shortly by a foray, now happily forgotten, into Fushigi Yuugi. My main body of work is Gundam Wing and Harry Potter, with a particular focus on the character Remus Lupin. (He's Welsh, you know.) (No he isn't, but a patriot can dream.)
Likes: books made into movies; liberal politics; people who vote (especially young people-- good on you); hair dye; cream tea on Sundays; music on constant play; Law & Order
Pet Peeves: poor grammar; war-mongering; famous people named Colin (except for Colin Craven); jokes about the Welsh; the cost of my National Trust membership
Strange Fascinations: black pudding (it's a pudding, yet the butcher makes it...); peppermint tea; the Vampire Lestat; rennaissance faires and the people who attend them
This livejournal will serve primarily to prove that I can keep abreast of developments on the internet, which is already a patent lie, as I believe livejournaling has been around for years while I went about my days in ignorance. Probably I'll just use it as a place to note updates to fics. To wit: enjoy the minutiae.
