Biography:   Hi! Once upon a time, back in the spring of 2002, I wondered what would happen if I tested the writing waters. So I jumped in headfirst (no tentative toe-sticking for me!) and somehow managed not to drown while writing 'Out of the Frying Pan and Into the Fire.' It was fun! I decided I rather liked swimming. So here I am, at the ripe and new old age of 21, forever ensnared in the world of storytelling. Still, I am first and foremost a reader and will always be. I love a good tale, and satire never fails to amuse me. To the best of my knowledge, I am not under the influence of any drugs. My humor is just naturally like that. Behold the future marine biologist! Occasionally, I go into Mad Scientist mode and characters of Middle-earth (particularly Legolas) fall into my clutches. I do it because I care. Really.

'Regerative properties in the Common Lorien Wood-Elf (Telerius galadhrima) and mortality inducement in the Royal Half-Elf (Noldorius royalhalfsies).' The SRDM goes genetic! In which we answer what you never thought to ask: "If I cut it off, will it grow back?" and "How does a peredhil "choose" mortality?" Alas, poor Haldir, for we knew him well...

bullet Out_of_the_Frying_Pan_and_Into_the_Fire by bryn Last Updated: 9/30/2003
relojes replicas Prior to their journey, the Fellowship remained in Rivendell for two months. Let them not be accused of "lounging around." Of misunderstandings, embarrassingly botched scouting missions, and enemies at home and abroad. Proof that when in doubt, things always can get worse.
