| Bio: |  Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; Sunwards I’ve climbed and joined the tumbling mirth Of sun-split clouds – and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of; wheeled and soared and swung High in the sun-lit silence. Hovering there I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung My eager craft through footless halls of air; Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace, Where never lark nor even eagle flew; And while, with silent lifting mind I’ve trod The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of God. (John Gillespie Magee, 1922-41) Usually it feels as though the surly bonds of earth intend to hold me fast - one day I hope my soul may remember how to soar. Writing fanfic has lent wings to my creativity, and for that I am profoundly grateful. Most of my stories revolve around the character of Lucius Malfoy. Why Lucius? Well, he represents an archetype that has haunted my dreams as long as I can remember. That disturbs me. Those internally uncomfortable places tend to yield the richest learning, and writing fiction allows a deeper engagement than critical analysis alone. Seeing the world through his eyes, seeing him through those who challenge him, forces me to grapple with my own issues with power: personal, sexual, political and financial. And he’s a lot of fun to write! Those who are interested will find a small collection of shortish stories here, and my major project Invictus here. I have a LiveJournal as chthonya. At the moment (August 07) I'm maintaining both except for issues specific to IJ or LJ. I also have a GJ login but will only be using that for commenting. Feel free to friend me - no need to ask. I don't tend to keep an eye on who's friended me so comment if you want me to know. Please don't be offended if I don't friend you back - in any case I don't tend to read my 'friends page' that often: I tend to follow links or just pop in on people. I don't lock posts unless they include personal details. | |||||||||
