About Me
- About Me: I have always loved writing. I write original stories, as well as stories/fanfiction based on some of my favorite books. In order to share some of my writing with other people, I created this site, which will be used primarily to post stories (and occasionally other creative pieces, ex. poetry, prose) as I write them, and to get feedback. I will also post stories I completed before creating this site, book/play/musical reviews, and requests, should anyone make a request.
