User Profile

General Info: Elizabeth Culmer is 27 years old, female, white, mostly asexual, easily distracted, prone to procrastination, addicted to reading, and a full-time clerk at a magazine & tobacco shop. Liz has short brown hair, brown eyes, glasses, a tendency to flush heavily for no apparent reason, and an overall terribly average appearance. She also has a nice smile, but people rarely manage to photograph it without making her look like an idiot.

Interests: Liz reads, writes, sings, acquires houseplants, feeds her Coca-Cola addiction, and, when required to, can manage a reasonable imitation of a morning person. Otherwise she reverts to her natural nocturnal habits. Beyond her sporadic involvement in her local Unitarian Universalist congregation, she has no life. Since that means she has more time to read and write, you probably shouldn't bother feeling sorry for her. ;-)

Formerly Liz was an innocent victim of fanfiction, but is now an active writer in the Harry Potter, Naruto, and Angel Sanctuary fandoms. She dabbles in other fandoms, but not in any consistent fashion. She reads fic for a ridiculous number of things, including Angel Sanctuary, Angel: The Series, Batman, Black Jewels, Bleach, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Chronicles of Narnia, The Dark Is Rising, Death Note, anything by Diana Wynne Jones, Discworld, D.N.Angel, Doctor Who, Dragonball Z, Enchanted Forest Chronicles, Final Fantasy 7, Final Fantasy 8, Fruits Basket, Full Metal Alchemist, Get Backers, Good Omens, Gormenghast, Gundam Wing, Harry Potter, Highlander, Hikaru no Go, House, Labyrinth, Life on Mars, anything by Lois McMaster Bujold, Lord of the Rings, Lucifer, Merlin, Naruto, One Piece, Petshop of Horrors, Pirates of the Caribbean, Prince of Tennis, Ranma 1/2, Sailor Moon, Saiyuki, Sandman, Shaman King, Spider-Man, all Star Trek series, Star Wars, Stargate: Atlantis, Stargate: SG-1, Supernatural, Torchwood, Trigun, Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle, Weiss Kreuz, Wild Adapter, X/1999, xxxHolic, X-Men, Young Wizards, Yu-Gi-Oh!, YuYu Hakusho, etcetera, etcetera. As mentioned above, she's easily distracted. :-)

Liz also writes original fiction. She's been making up worlds and stories since she was 7 years old; by this point, even if she wanted to stop, she wouldn't have a clue how to turn off that part of her mind. Someday she may work up the nerve to submit her stories to magazines and publishing houses. (It would probably help if she learned to write at a reasonable speed and to craft stories with wordcounts between 1,000 and 5,000 words, instead of always running too short or too long and taking forever to finish anything. *headdesk*)

Family: Liz has a mother, a father, and a younger sister (hi Vicky!), and loves them dearly. It probably helps that she lives several hours away from them these days. ;-) The rest of her family is a little weird, but generally composed of decent people. If she had more money and a more regular schedule, she'd have a dog, but she's poor and works variable hours, so she doesn't. :-(

Archives: In addition to her Fanfiction.net page, Liz also posts some of her Harry Potter fics on FictionAlley, which is a large fandom-specific archive. If you're interested in archiving any of her stories, she'll almost certainly say yes -- just ask first. Until and unless she gets her own website, you can find all her stories, both original and fanfiction, in her livejournal memories or via her master fiction directory post, which has summaries, warnings, and hopefully a more useful organization.

LJ Stuff: Liz is lazy. If you friend her, she probably won't friend you back, but this is not a judgment on you, and since she doesn't friends-lock entries, it doesn't make any practical difference. Also, Liz doesn't bite and she has yet to get involved in any real fandom kerfuffling, mostly because it would take too much effort. She's just here for the stories -- well, the stories and the world-building, and occasional bits of intelligent analysis and meta... but mostly the stories. :-)

Please do friend her, though! She'll be secretly flattered and do a happy dance where no one can see her, because she is a storyteller and loves her audience, yes she does. (She's also a review whore, but we won't mention that. Shhh.)
