Hi everyone!

I'm 45, a loving mother who acts as a carer for her eldest son who is autistic. I also love writing fanfictions, my newest fandom being Miraculous - Tales of Ladybug and Chat Noir. I have written fanfictions in the past (15 years ago. oh my...) for the fandoms of Harry Potter and Inuyasha.

I like computers and the internet, but I'm more of a creative person than a tech. I love myths and legends, and reading about religion. I love reading in general; my fave authors are M. Ende, M. Z. Bradley, J. M. Auel, P. Pullman, J. Stroud and J. K. Rowling. I love even the classics of course (like Tolstoj, Verga, Kafka, Svevo, Calvino, Shakespeare, Pirandello, Austen, the Brontë's sisters, Yoshikawa, Verne, Yoshimoto, Flaubert, Dumas, Sartre). I also like many poets (like Baudelaire, Ungaretti, Leopardi).

I love to read Japanese manga, and watch anime. My fave authors are M. Adachi (Touch, Rough, H2...) and R. Takahashi (Uruseiyatsura, Ranma ½, Maison Ikkoku, Inuyasha...), but I also love N. Watsuki (Rurouni Kenshin!), F. Souryou (Mars...), Y. Watase (Fushigi Yuugi, Ayashi no Ceres...), G. Aoyama (Detective Conan), R. Ikeda (Versailles no Bara, aka Lady Oscar...) and others. I love classics as well, like O. Tetsuka (Leo, The three Adolf, Astroboy, Ribbon no Kishi, Black Jack...) and all great authors whose stories teach you something.

I like full rounded characters: for example, Kagura from the manga, "Inuyasha". She was evil; she would destroy a whole city without minding it. But she was also a rebel, wanted her freedom, and helped the heros against her own Master. She also fancied one of the not-so-good-but-not-so-bad-either characters of the story.

I dislike the two-dimensional, flat baddies, like canon!Draco. I'm not talking about him being "redeemable". I'm talking about him being useless, two-dimensional, good only to smirk at Harry once, sing a childish song against Ron, and tell Harry that he's dead.

You might have wondered about that, so I shall say it: I love writing and have written all my life. I'm trying to be published. Right now, I have the complete first draft of an original novel for children of 9-12 years old, and I'm revising it before trying to send it to literary agents. I wrote my first "novel" when I was 12.
