Profile

Librarian from a place of ivory towers in the South of England, with a Resident Geek and two resident small persons.

"I always wondered why the makers leave housekeeping and cooking out of their tales. Isn't it what all the great wars and battles are fought for - so that at day's end a family may eat together in a peaceful house?...When the heroes came back from the mountain, they were welcomed with a feast. I'd like to know what the food was and how the women managed it."
(Ursula K. Le Guin, Voices)

"History is women following behind with the bucket." (Dorothy in Alan Bennett's The History Boys)

"We're all stories, in the end." (Steven Moffat, Doctor Who.)

I write Tolkien fanfic, mostly LoTR, and read primarily LoTR fic but also occasionally Pirates of the Caribbean and Doctor Who. I post my longer fic (as Azalais) at Henneth-Annun Story Archive and TolkienFanFiction, and some of it to FanFiction.net; and I drabble on LJ at tolkien_weekly.
