Biography:   I've been reading LOTR on an annual basis since I was ten years old, so that means that I've read it through one end to the other 37 times, not counting all the other times that I've picked it up and read portions of it when the mood caught me, or when I was researching something for my fics. I'm a latecomer to LOTR fanfic, as I admit that after my experiences in reading fanfics from other sources, that I doubted that anyone could write LOTR fics that could be as satisfying as the original. Well, I'm thrilled to have been proven wrong by the wonderful writers of this site. :)
