Crystal Gray

I've been writing Lord of the Rings fanfiction since 1997 and was granted the oppertunity in 2002 to showcase my work through a science fiction and fantasy magazine from Great Britian titled Gateway Monthly. I have actually been writing since the age of twelve first starting out with poetry and short story writing, centering my stories around themes of adventure and fantasy. Soon I moved on to writing LOTR fanfiction and since that time I have mainly stuck to my fanfiction writing creating well over 20 stories related to LOTR.
