[lightbird]

Now that is an impressive list.

I've written fics in exactly 3 fandoms, lol.

[escritoireazul]

Thank you. I credit it to two main reasons: I like to gift people stories, so I write across the fandoms that interest them at the time of the gift, and I am easily distracted. Heh.

[pene]

This is the place where we most meet: if Michelle Rodriguez is in the movie, her character is my favorite

:)

[escritoireazul]

Yes, that is a good place to meet indeed.
