Rhiannon

Rhiannon Eccentric, tired, exuberant, spastic, contradictory, nerdy, lazy, crafty, fantastical, innocent, and disillusioned. When I'm not lost in my head, I'm probably writing. Or crocheting something.



My earliest memories are of trying to write a story about a girl who goes to a magical land and plays with unicorns. Someday, I might actually finish it.

In the meanwhile, I am heavily influenced by Terry Pratchett, R. A. Heinlein, Charles deLint, J.R.R Tolkien, Neil Gaiman, and Rainbow Brite. I have a great fondness for Fantasy and Science Fiction (especially if there's unicorns), though I'll read just about anything. Including Romance novels.

I am the second eldest of seven, have a BsC in Anthropology, and I watch far too much television for my own good.

I am not a crazy cat lady, but I am crazy. Thanks, Bean, for including me in this. >:)

Athena

Athena broken, bored, confused, creative, uninspired, jaded, unique, stunted, spontaneous, unbalanced, original, ambitious, insightful and more than a little bit crazy. I write.




Greetings.

I grew up in a small, boring city, the third of seven children. I'm blonde, I was home-schooled for elementary school and I'm a Libra.

I've been writing fiction since before I knew my alphabet and I've never loved anything more. There is no set genre that I stick to but a lot of my work has at least some supernatural elements in it. Many of my stories often include silly, improbable romances because, well, who doesn't love a silly, improbable romance?

My favourite authors include Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman, Jane Austen and Robert A. Heinlein, but if I had to guess who has most influenced my writing, I would have to say David Bowie. I suppose a lot of what I write is heavily influenced by fairytales, both the Disney versions I knew as a child and the scarier originals I studied in Children's lit.

I believe in freedom of speech, freedom of dress and freedom of anything else that doesn't infringe on other people's rights. Mainly, I believe that people should find their own path and do what makes them happy. In an ideal world, I'd be an anarchist.
