I'm Ria, I'm a Mum of two from Surrey in England, and I've only just discovered fanfiction relatively recently.

I read alot, and write a bit, and my writing tends to fall by the wayside if I find a good fic that I can't put down. It has become unreasonably common for me to be up until the early hours reading "just one more chapter"!

I used to write a lot when I was younger, but this is the first time I've written anything in ten years, so it's all a bit of a learning experience. I would like to try writing my own original novel at some point, and writing here is giving me some great experience.

I have always been obsessed by fantasy, I was a massive Buffy fan when it was on, and I do still dig out the DVDs sometimes... Although it's difficult when most of the time I'm around a telly some horrible kids stuff is on. In fact, a lot of what I write is done in front of some inane children's program, which is disturbing considering some of the stuff I come out with! Alot of my darker stuff I blame on the fact I've been reading Stephen King since I was eleven, and will also devour any other fantasy / horror novel you can throw at me.

I am, of course, hopelessly in love with Edward Cullen, which was actually a done deal for me, as I spent my teenage years in love with Edward Rochester, who is, I'm sure, much of what SM based Edward Cullen on.

I am also the teensiest bit Robsessed, but ironically enough not as Edward! He's not Edward to me (as My Edward lives in my mind, and is mine and mine alone!), and I'm not actually that keen on the movies. I'm a fan of the books, and am glad that I was introduced to the beauty of Rob by his association with them. :)
