Bio:

Hi, I'm Mandi. (: I'm in college so I don't have a lot of time on my hands, but what I do have is devoted to fanfiction.

Keladry is my favorite character of all her books and series, and I love pairing her with - literally - everyone. Kel/Wyldon holds a special place in my heart. I'm the proud originator of Kel/Lindhall and Alan/Liam, the latter of which has gained a teeny bit of popularity.

In Emelan, I am a staunch Sandry supporter. I enjoy pairing her with everyone, although the cast is more limited than Tortall's. My very favorite pairing would have to be Sandry/Crane.

I love the Animal Planet and NatGeoWild channels, kittens, and nature.
