My real name is Gemma (*waves*)
I graduated in medieval history. I'm now a research student at Cambridge (UK), in the early stages of an historical study of the Imagist movement. In between university stints I've worked as a Web directory editor, sales assistant and data-puncher.
I'm a fairly serious writer. Aside from occasional LotR stories, I write poetry and comic fantasy fiction. Various poems and haiku of mine have been published in the small press.

PS: Many thanks to those who reviewed by poem "Tereus". It has now been taken offline in anticipation of ff.net's Original/Fanfiction split.
