Hello hello... it's been an age!

Dunno why I didn't think of rejoining sooner....
I joined about 5 years ago. Lost touch when everything went down the tubes (as it does). Decided today to see what I could see-see-see. So here goes... Again.


1. What do you do? (Hobbies, job) I'm a writer (still) and I teach part-time (I think that bit's new). I love acting, singing and baking. Oh yeah, and sewing too.

2. Where are you from? Wales, originally

3. Who is your favorite author? Philip K Dick

4. What are your favorite films? A Matter Of Life And Death, Groundhog Day, The Singles Ward

5. What music do you want played at your wedding? Oh, now there's definitely something new. Got married in December to a gorgeous guy from church who also, as 'luck' would have it, is a goth. The wedding was on the worst, blizzardy day imaginable. so things kinda got cut back to the basics. We didn't get our evening party, but our first dance was going to be "Broken" by Seether... It was a glorious day, even with the snow... *sigh*

6. At your funeral? Probably ACDC, if they'll let me get away with it!!

7. This IS a gothic website, so... how do you want to die? In my sleep. Beautifully. No dribbling or bed hair or pillow-face...

8. What kind of casket would you want? One that burns quickly!

9. What's your FAVORITE outfit? My black velvet skirt with a slit front and an embroidered train together with a black satin corset, decorated with ribbons, roses and chains.

10. What's one thing you miss about being a little kid? Absolutely nothing. I'm having my childhood now!

11. What's your favorite band? Depends on my mood.

12. What kind of education do you have? What is/was/will be your major? Psych!

13. Why did you join? 'Cause I'd joined before...

14. If the first 13 questions didn't give it away. What is your gender? I'm a girly-girl.

There're a couple of OLD old-timers still knocking around... Saya, Solumina, Jilly (his new username is Alan) and of course good old Sterrn, God love him.

You seem nice and your favorite author is a nice change from fucking Poe AGAIN... overall, welcome back. What kind of stuff do you write?

Gudday Spooky. Did you ever managed to write anything for Dr Who in the end? I can't remember how close you got to it or not.

Ooh! Hello, all you friendly souls! Wow, 's nice to be remembered...
Okay...
To answer ... I'm originally from a tiny village in Ceredigion in West Wales. I write plays (comedies, mostly, for some reason) and films. Had a couple of short films done and a couple of weeks ago my latest play was on locally. I still want to write for Doctor Who, and I've got as far as gathering together some ideas and contacts. I'd also like to write films for the church (I'm LDS), as there doesn't seem to be any British output. Aaaaanway, I've usually got a few scripts on the go...
I've also co-written a recipe book... but that's a whole different story...

And thank you for the lovely welcome!!

You could end up writing for Doctor Who?! You realise we can never let you leave now, right?...

Welcome to the site. I write plays for regional performances too - I think there are a few of us around on here. Nothing big - mostly independent companies run by ex-students, but some of them have done really good jobs.

A newcomer must prove its worth by either panty raiding Andrew Eldritch, reciting the prologue of the communist manifesto, or battling the Rancor.

I would totally cheer you on, perhaps while wearing a metal bikini.
