My name's Lucy and I'm a 16-year-old Aussie girl. I pretty much live over on fanfiction.net, so check me out there if you feel like it - same penname.
I've been an avid reader since a young age - I was reading novels while the rest of my class were working through those ten page readers they give to small children. From the ages of about 6 to 10 (I'm not good with dates) I was reading The Chronicles of Narnia, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, The Silver Brumby, The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, and other works of that sort. I was interested almost exclusively in fantasy at that point. As I've grown older my tastes have evolved, and I'm just as likely to be found reading Gothic literature, various classics (19th Century literature is my favourite - I'm very much in love with the Brontes), mysteries, medieval or Victorian romances, and a heap of other, more modern stuff. Basically, I love to read.
I also love a lot of music. My favourite band is My Chemical Romance, a fact which many of my classmates seem to find mortally offensive. I also love I Am Ghost, The Cure, Miranda Sex Garden, From First To Last, The Clash, Fall Out Boy, Mindless Self Indulgence, Black Lab, Kill Hannah, The Getaway Plan, AFI, All-American Rejects, Bauhaus, Escape The Fate, Dashboard Confessional, Epica, Kisschasy, Jack Off Jill, New Young Pony Club, Joy Division, Queen, Paramore, Rasputina, Senses Fail, 30 Seconds To Mars, Voltaire, and many others which I'm sure nobody really needs to know about. I am also very fond of classical music, having more or less grown up at the opera house. Puccini, Shostakovich and Mozart are my favourite composers.
As a person...I'm 5'9, have blackish-brown hair (naturally...I often dye it), wear a lot of black and have a skinny, boyish figure. I'm inclined to think that society's preference for thin women is ridiculous, and would far rather have a curvaceous, womanly figure if only my metabolism would allow it - but I digress. I'm inclined to be hyperactive, and sitting still is not something that comes naturally to me. I'm past that stage of teenage self-consciousness, thank god - but on the other hand I'm socially awkward and have a terrible time meeting new people. Thankfully, my friends' social skills are little better than mine and so nobody really seems to notice.
I've just resurrected this account, and deleted all the old poems I'd posted. Sorry to anyone who liked them - I just thought they were crap, to be completely honest. My writing has vastly improved since then, and I'm much less angsty to boot.
I'm planning on posting a lot of my original poems, short stories and drabbles on here. Don't look for anything too much longer than that - I don't have time for it right now, unfortunately. One day, I'm going to write a full-length novel. Until then, expect lots of shorter snippets of my writing.
Feedback is always appreciated, and constructive criticism is very, very welcome.
