Me: My name's Lauren, I'm 20, and I'm a junior at Michigan State University. I love to read and write fantasy and sci-fi, and lately I've been writing some futuristic, social commentary-type things as well. I have no life, I'm quiet, shy, and weird in public/with new people, but I'm insane with my friends.

Aliases: Lauren, T.J. Strauss (obviously), Dude the Grand, High, Almighty and Greatly Exalted Philocicist, Lauren Queen of Wipeouts, Kya, Leckura, and Eillas (DnD!!), Luren, Super Lauren, the Highly Worshipful and Mucho-Grande Important Tator Monarchess of Opia, and Wawen.

Stuff I Like: I'm obsessed with Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, anything fantasy, and writing (though I have not been writing as much this year, too damn busy all the time!!) I also like fencing, music, reading, and WRITING.

Favorite authors: J.R.R. Tolkien (If you don't like Tolkien, you should be shot!), Orson Scott Card, Neal Shusterman, Lemony Snicket, Douglas Adams, J.K. Rowling, Kevin J. Anderson

My Stories: Emergence, The Witch and the Bladesman, and Untouched Heart have (obviously) all been removed. This is for personal reasons since I haven't been writing much anymore, and because I just don't feel safe enough posting my work online anymore. Hopefully you'll enjoy the fun things I left up!

In closing: Live like each moment will last forever, anything is possible, save the whales, I know where you live, and may the Force be with you.

SUPERLAUREN- AWAAAAYYYYY!!

Whoosh!
