"If they won't write the kind of books we want to read, we shall have to write them ourselves; but it is very laborious."

~ Letter from C.S. Lewis to JRR Tolkien.

Greetings to anyone who has stumbled onto this page. You may call me the Lindwyrm. I'm a female under twenty, and I currently live within spitting distance of New York City. I am a writer of countless poem, short stories, and failed fantasy novels.

I am also the proud manager of a fanfiction account with several stories and a forum I'd love you to check out.

I like reading, writing, listening to music, and fortune-telling with Germanic runes. I'm bitchy when the mood takes me but mostly softhearted, loyal to a fault, honest but still a good liar, and very selective about what I choose to care about. I believe passionately that concrit is the key to solving all the world's writing woes. If you want me to, I will be more than happy to beta or check over your work for you, and if you're a new writer I will be as gentle as I can while still being useful.

I am convinced that there is a band sidhe living in the woods up the street from my house. My favorite color is dusky blue. I have an active plan for Z-day survival. I love history, people, storytelling, and most combinations thereof. I might want to be an archaeologist someday. My dream summer job would be to work at Renaissance fair. I am a spiritual atheist and a democrat. Evolution is fact, and so is Global Warming-- Hey, people didn't use to believe in dinosaurs either! I am an Armenian. I don't like homophobes, racists, sexists, Holocaust deniers, rude and intolerant people, or Marysues.
