I am a final-year Commerce student with majors in Property Development and Development, from the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. I am engaged, and have an adorable (and somewhat dopey) Cavalier King Charles called Fiasco. My favourite things to do on Glake are dream up crazy events, mess with my staff (who I adore) and shamelessly beg Conte fic off anyone who is online. 2011 is my last year of being not-quite a grown-up - in 2012, I will start work as an Analyst. Don't worry, I won't become responsible or anything! You can also find me: - Twitter: twitter.com/puddleofwit - Livejournal: treanz.livejournal.com/profileMember since: Goldenlake was founded! BOOM.

Favourite pairing/s: Jonathan/Cythera, Gary/Cythera, Roger/Jessamine and Vania/Zahir. Least favourite character/pairing: Roger/Lightning, closely followed by Daine/Numair. The character/pairing you're embarrassed to like: I am proud of everything I like!! Okay, well maybe not super proud of Kel/Neal... Favourite Pierce quote: Myles: "You didn't kill him. He would have killed you, but you didn't kill him." Alanna: "So? He was stupid. If I killed everyone who was stupid, I wouldn't have time to sleep." — Myles of Olau and Alanna of Trebond, In the Hand of the GoddessFavourite Goldenlake projects/events/pranks: While I love all our events and pranks, Rogerlake (to celebrate our first birthday) was my favourite event! Non-Pierce obsessions: Downton Abbey, Parks & Recreation, Community, 30 Rock, Rachel Zoe Project, The Good Wife... and I also read an unhealthy amount of books about big corporate collapses. And I love rugby union - I follow the Queensland Reds and the Australian Wallabies. Other random stuff: Rosie is awesome.

Username: Grifftastical Name: Griff Userpic/Avatar: Under/over 18: Over 18 Birthday: April 13th Location: West Texas, USA Bio: I'm a returned University student, stripped of all time and resources, resigned to my academic fate. As a business major torn between International Business and Marketing or Management Information Systems, I spend my days taking practical classes that do terrible things to my mental well-being in hopes that one day I will be filthy, filthy rich. I'm a bleeding heart for canines and my house is a revolving door for strays, with two of my own - my long time love, Beloved Moose Mangler, a Cur/AmStaff mix, and the stray that simply never left, Stormtrooper, a Chihuahua. I'm a dedicated comic lover, both Marvel and DC, with my favorites being Captain America, the Bat family (though, not particularly fond of the Bat himself), and the newly published Outlaws. You can also find me: - Livejournal: littlemissgriff.livejournal.comI'm also one of the moderators for the Goldenlake Livejournal - http://fief_goldenlake.livejournal.com. Member since: December 27, 2010 Fanfiction/Fanart/Other: I very much enjoy playing around on the writing side of fandom and have finished - Decathlon: fanfiction.fiefgoldenlake.com/viewseries.php?seriesid=114- dabbled in SMACKDOWN: fanfiction.fiefgoldenlake.com/viewseries.php?seriesid=116- and been helplessly pulled into creating my personal canon that Roger is Jon's father: fiefgoldenlake.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=tortallff&action=display&thread=40770Favourite character/s: 1. Roger 2. George 3. Kel Favourite pairing/s:1. George/Jon 2. Kel/Most Anything 3. Alanna/Roger 4. Roger/Jon 5. Merric/Faleron Least favourite character/pairing: Aly/Nawat The character/pairing you're embarrassed to like: I should be stuttering and apologetic about the whole Roger/Jon thing, but I keep getting distracted by the sheer concentration of Tall, Dark, and Handsome. And that smattering of regicidal treachery. Favourite Pierce quote: “I'm sick of this. Call me what you like, say I'm without honor, I don't care. I'm not getting on any more horses to whack you people with a stick." - Keladry of Mindelan, SquireFavourite Goldenlake projects/events/pranks: The 'Write-Roger-for-Katty' Festival. Non-Pierce obsessions: I'm a classically trained singer with a preference for musical theater and basic guitar-style tunes. I enjoying sewing and entertained the idea of being a professional costumer for a time, but I've since moved on to careers with better health benefits. I paint, though often times dubiously, preferring acrylics and oils over water color or other mediums. (Also known as those paints where you can cover up your mistakes.) I've started gymnastics, am absolutely dreadful, and my body reminds me daily that I am far too old to be beginning a child's game. I write, both fan fiction and original works, in varying genres. Other random stuff: Dear Katty, I know we haven't known each other for very long, but I feel we have a deep spiritual connection. Or at least a Roger-related one. So, it is with all my fandomy heart I ask: Will you marry me? P.S. - I'm hoping the pressures of a public proposal makes the situation too awkward for you to say 'no'.

Favourite Goldenlake projects/events/pranks: Goldenlake's 2nd Birthday Whiteout. Also, the GFC (Goldenlake Fairytales Challenge). Non-Pierce obsessions: Not much, fandom wise. I like to bake though! And I may be getting a little obsessed with Merlin, thanks to Joa.

The character/pairing you're embarrassed to like: I have no shame. Favourite Pierce quote: "I myself have noticed my growing resemblance to a daffodil." - Neal, PageFavourite Goldenlake projects/events/pranks: SMACKDOWN - it inspires such craziness and obsession and devious plotting until it takes over real life for the span of a month. Then the Decathlon - due to the number and variety of prompts, this one really got me thinking in unusual words. I'll finish my second Decathlon eventually, pinky swear! Non-Pierce obsessions: Quidditch (I like to hit people). Jane Austen (Mr. Darcy/Colin Firth). Broadway (Such a spectacle). Music (French horn aficionado). Other random stuff: Seek and I are in fact the same person, separated only by half the globe. Double the trouble, double the fun.

Favourite pairing/s: Raoul/Gary, Gary/Cythera Least favourite character/pairing: Liam (the Dragon, not the prince), Josaine The character/pairing you're embarrassed to like: I have no shame.

Currently my family consists of my saati, who's been my best friend for almost half my life, and two rescued dogs. I tend to hobby-hop frequently because there are so many things I want to learn to do. I hope to one day move to Alaska, where I can cook fish and raise sled dogs. You can also find me: As PeroxidePirate on livejournal or tumblr. Member since: April 2009 Fanfiction/Fanart/Other: Though I'm primarily a writer, I also make the occasional icon or banner. I shamelessly adore crack!fic and I'll ship anything just to see if I can. When I'm in a more serious mood, I write smushy friendship or femslash pieces. I love to write car chases, but haven't yet figured out how to utilize that talent in Pierce fandom. I'm most proud of a rambling crack-turned-serious fic called Trickster's Pawn (http://archiveofourown.org/works/78079?view_full_work=true) and a sweet little story called Losing Sleep (http://archiveofourown.org/works/136605). Favourite character/s: Kel, Buri, Raoul, Briar and Daja. Favourite pairing/s: Canon-wise, I like Raoul/Buri and Lark/Rosethorn. My thoughts on non-canon ships change all the time, but I consistently ship Daja/Sandry and Kel/almost anyone. Least favourite character/pairing: Kel/Dom, Aly/Nawat The character/pairing you're embarrassed to like: Not embarrassed, exactly, but... Kel/Aly takes some explaining, particularly since I have no desire to ever reread Trickster's Queen. Favourite Pierce quote: "When people say a knight's job is all glory, I laugh and laugh and laugh. Often I can stop laughing before they edge away and talk about soothing drinks." - Raoul, Squire.Favourite Goldenlake projects/events/pranks: Nothing can touch SMACKDOWN, though I can't decide which year I had more fun. Non-Pierce obsessions: My other fandom loves include Star Trek: The Next Generation, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly and Doctor Who. My current non-fandom obsessions include knitting and attempting to run three miles. Other random stuff: This is the fandom of my heart. Even though I wander away sometimes, I always make my way back. I love you guys!!

Username: Museical Name: well, everyone calls me Muse ☺ Userpic/Avatar: Under/over 18: Over 18 Birthday: April 8 Location: North Eastern USA Bio: I’m a 4th year University student, studying Music Education. I lifeguard year round, I have my cat and a betta fish named Caspian who keeps me company at school… I’m your general fantasy/music geek and love to bounce ideas around with anyone and everyone! Member since: February 2011 Fanfiction/Fanart/Other: I’m not really active in any other fandom at the moment, but I do love me some Tammy-fic. For me, exploring the world and the characters that she has created is a huge draw. You can find me on The King’s Own, Goldenlake’s fanfiction archive, which is the most complete archive of my writings, here: fanfiction.fiefgoldenlake.com/viewuser.php?uid=1663. I also have an account on fanfiction here: www.fanfiction.net/u/2821549/museicality. As far as what I’m really proud of, here are my personal favorites: Title: The Price of Dreaming Link: fanfiction.fiefgoldenlake.com/viewstory.php?sid=3601 This came out of an MPP prompt, but exploring Gainel and Irnai within this idea has made me fall in love with their characters all over again. I’m particularly proud of the dual nature of this fic, and the changes between Gainel’s dreams and the real world. Title: The Possibilities 'Verse Link: fanfiction.fiefgoldenlake.com/viewseries.php?seriesid=124This is an arc focused on Francis and Gwynnen, two characters who disappear early in the SotL quartet. They have so many loose ends, and this attempts to explore the possibilities that they could have had. I wanted to focus on taking their canon-selves and expanding them, giving them potential futures that were emotional but also realistic. I also now ship them like crazy. <3 Title: Superheroes! Link: fanfiction.fiefgoldenlake.com/viewseries.php?seriesid=65This series will always have a place in my heart. If you like the King’s Own, the Queen’s Riders, humor, crack!, or superheroes, this is something you would enjoy. In here, Dom and Evin run rampant and shenanigans happens. I don’t know if I’ve ever encountered such sheer joy when writing something other than this series, but I hope its as much fun to read as it was to write. Title: If I Were A Boy Link: fanfiction.fiefgoldenlake.com/viewseries.php?seriesid=70This idea came out of nowhere, but this has become one of my favorite pieces from Smackdown 2011. The song “If I Were A Boy” has basically become Kally’s theme song in my head (head!canon?), and I really tried to do her justice when looking at this period in her life and the role she has to fill. Title: Coagulation Link: fanfiction.fiefgoldenlake.com/viewstory.php?sid=2468 This fic took on a life of it’s own. Roger and his madness have a certain poetic quality in this glimpse of his final moments, and there is something unsettling running though it. I really like how Roger’s characterization turned out…this is also proof that sometimes he demands to be written about. He is a bit of a drama queen.Favourite character/s: Roger, Evin Larse, Thom I, Neal, Numair, Miri, Francis, Gwynnen, Gainel, Delia. Favourite pairing/s: These aren’t necessarily meant to be romantic; I just love their character interactions in general! Roger and Thom, Alex and Delia, Delia and Josiane, Alan and Lianne, Gainel and Irnai, Francis and Gwynnen. Least favourite character/pairing: Eh. I’m not one to make up my mind about these things… I’m not a huge fan of some of the more well known pairings, mostly because I feel like I can’t add anything to what exists for them. This would probably explain the lack of canon-pairing focus… The character/pairing you're embarrassed to like: Jon/Crown. Jon/Mirror. Roger/Sparkly Tights. Raoul/Curtains. Gary/Moustache. Favourite Pierce quote: Kel: "He says he's changed." Neal: "I suppose he could have changed, I myself have noticed my growing resemblance to a daffodil." Kel: "You do look yellow around the edges. I hadn't wanted to bring it up." Neal: "We daffodils like to have things brought up. It reminds us of spring.” - Kel and Neal, Page"You are a bloody minded-savage," he informed Owen sternly. "I hope you are kidnapped by centaurs.” - Neal, Page“Neal had a gift for making someone want to punch him just for saying hello” - Keladry, Page Favourite Goldenlake projects/events/pranks: SMACKDOWN - Team Underpants: because we can get up to ridiculous shenanigans and you love us anyway. Honestly, Dom and Evin are so great together, getting into mischief. I loved the ability to mess around in their slightly unconventional world and see what they do off-screen… UNDIES FOREVER! I was also tickled pink by the Muse for J/Z thread that was in Lord Theodore’s Promotions for a while back in the beginning of SMACKDOWN 2011. It was great fun, and you guys are flatterers. Chat parties during SMACKDOWN were also fun, especially late-night ficcing with Nat and Griff…the fics that grew out of those plot bunnies are unforgettable! And, I have to put OSW as one of my favorite events. Where else can you get such wonderful mental images? Clearly, the best of Glake’s creativity! Non-Pierce obsessions: DOCTOR WHO. (Ten, you’re amazing) Castle…because. Just, because. Also, does anyone else love the fact that Robert Schumann, Clara Schumann, and Johannes Brahms were totally part of an epic love triangle? SCANDALOUS. …Music. All of it. *points to self* Music Major

Username: lisafer Name: Lisa Userpic/Avatar: Under/over 18: over Birthday: August 22 Location: Ohio, United States Bio: I’m a graduate of the Ohio State University with a degree focusing on modern European history (emphasis on WWI and WWII), but I’ve also spent time studying clarinet at a conservatory of music. I now work in thrilling industry that has nothing to do with either major. I am currently engaged and share my home with my fiancé and a part-Abyssinian demon-cat named Sergei. You can also find me: on Twitter as “lisafer” or on LJ as “q-sama”. Member since : March 2009 Fanfiction/Fanart/Other: I dabble in art, and I’ve written far more than my limited talents warrant, but I’m probably best known in the fandom for creating the Tortallan Timeline: www.tamorapierce.com/faq_timeline.html. This is a project I slaved over for a bit, trying to pinpoint every noted passage of time within the Tortall-based texts in order to create one solid chronology of events, complete with footnotes regarding errors in timekeeping on the characters’ or the author’s part. It’s popular enough that Tammy asked me to host it on her website. This is easily my greatest contribution to the fandom. Favourite character/s: Wyldon of Cavall, in the Tortall-verse, Sandrilene fa Toren in the Circle-verse Favourite pairing/s: Wyldon/Vivenne, Kel/Wyldon, Tris/Crane, Sandry/Daja, Kara/Halef Least favourite character/pairing: Er…. A year ago I would’ve said Wyldon/Myles, but then I fell in love with it… The character/pairing you're embarrassed to like: Beka/Rosto. It’s so ridiculously cliché, but I can’t help but enjoy thinking about it. Favourite Pierce quote: “I don't care if he rides me with a bit and spurs.” - Trisana Chandler, Briar’s Book/The Healing in the Vine, in regard to Dedicate Crane. Favourite Goldenlake projects/events/pranks: At first Wyldon Winter was my favorite – a celebration of all things Cavall? How could I not? – but then Decathlon came around and changed my mind. Non-Pierce obsessions: I used to be active in several fandoms: Gundam Wing, Harry Potter, various anime. I’ve tapered off since, but I’ve written for various Sharon Shinn novels and The Dresden Files. I’d love to get into writing fic for Robert B. Parker’s “Appaloosa” world. Non-fandom interests include American football – especially the New Orleans Saints. From September through February my brain is obsessed with the sport. Other random stuff: I once wrote a song about Wyldon. That makes it sound far more impressive than it really was, since the chorus was “Wyldon, Wyldon, Wyldon, Wyldon! La-la-la la-la la la-la la-la la-la-la!” There was a verse about his love of training dogs, though….

I'm not quite sure what to do with my life yet, but I'm content to begin the track to medical or dental school even though it requires I take biology, chemistry and calculus all at once. Like most college students, I enjoy eating, sleeping, packages from home (or anywhere else, really) and Friday nights. Also like most college students, I stupidly attempt to do things like text while riding my bike across the street or cartwheels in small enclosed spaces.

Member since: March 2010 Fanfiction/Fanart/Other: I write inspiration as the inspiration strikes or as the Goldenlake event calls for it.

Username: kit Name: Kit. I've never really expended much imagination on usernames. Userpic/Avatar: Under/over 18: definitely over 18, darlings Birthday: 15 November Location: Melbourne, Australia Bio:I have a BA in Classics and English, where I focused by turns on ancient medicine, fandom in YA literature, and 5th Greek theatre. I also used it as an excuse to learn as many dead languages as I could, ranging from very bad Greek to better Old Norse and some truly appalling Sanskrit. I'm also a member and occasional Musical Director of Omniprop Productions (http://www.omniprop.org/), a classical theatre company that is currently on hiatus because everyone involved with it got married to each other and started having babies. Right now, I'm working on a masters in Information Management (read, libraries), and specialise in medical records. Not QUITE sure how I ended up there. Must have been all the Aristotle. I work a terrible nightshift job in order to pay my bills, and live with my girlfriend and cat in a flat with too many stairs. You can also find me: - Missing Ovid at Wordpress (personal blog, riddled with bad poetry): missingovid.wordpress.com- Livejournal: kitty-ryan.livejournal.com/profileMember since: April 9, 2009 Fanfiction/Fanart/Other: More than anything else, I'm a writer. Bad poetry, as mentioned, can be found at my blog, but my fanfiction can be found at: - Fanfiction: www.fanfiction.net/u/28858/Kitty_Ryan (ff.net--mostly Pierce, slowly being transferred to A03) - The King's Own: fanfiction.fiefgoldenlake.com/viewuser.php?uid=59- Archive of Our Own: archiveofourown.org/users/Kit/pseuds/Kit (The A03 is the most recently updated, but contains rather more Doctor Who than anything else. ) I am also a huge fan and advocate of podfic, and my voice is one of the louder ones in Goldenlake's fledgling podfic archive: fiefgoldenlake.com/podfic.html. One day, I would love for the whole of The King's Own to have a podfic link, but that is a shining, far off sort of dream. Favourite character/s: Polyam, Daja, Lark, Vedris, Briar, Crane, Sabine, Beka, Numair, Onua, Volney Rain. Favourite pairing/s: Daja/Polyam, Tris/Vedris, Kel/Alanna, Crane/Anyone, Lark/Yazmin. Least favourite character/pairing: Kel/Dom, Alanna/Jon (though that's entirely a fandom thing), Beka/Rosto The character/pairing you're embarrassed to like: No real shame, but Daine/Numair still holds a softspot for me, come what may. Favourite Pierce quote: Daja asked her friends,"Did he just say 'peasants?'" Briar looked over his shoulder at her. "He definitely said 'peasants.'" "Someone needs spectacles." - Daja, Briar and Tris, Will of the Empress. - "This is more than payment--" "No," Daja interrupted. "You gave me a chance to clear my name. Now we don't owe each other a thing." Looking at the carpet, she added softly, "I would like to be friends." Rough arms swept her up in a hug. "We are friends," Polyam assured her in a fierce whisper. "We will always be friends." - Fire in the Forging Favourite Goldenlake projects/events/pranks: The first SMAC?DOWN, so full of hysteria and madcap glee as it was. I'm also loving the Podfic Wishing Well. Non-Pierce obsessions: My active fandoms, besides Tamora Pierce, are: Doctor Who (rampant River Song fangirl!); Sharon Shinn; Monster Blood Tattoo; Isobelle Carmody's Obernewtyn Chronicles; and, occasionally, Garth Nix's Old Kingdom and The Dresden Files. Other random stuff: This was my first fandom, and the welcome has only grown warmer and stronger since I first started writing in 2000. I really do love you lot dearly.

Username: Rosie Name: Rosie Under/over 18: over Birthday: 6th March Location: London, UK Bio: I have degrees in English and Law, and currently work as a trainee solicitor. I am more addicted than I should be to wordplay and jokes that other people don't seem to find that funny (what is orange and sounds like a parrot?). You can also find me: on LJ as "seori". Member since: February 2009 Fanfiction/Fanart/Other: I have been fanficcing since 2001, so pretty much an embarrassingly long time now. I will credit myself with the fandom creation of Douglass as a (hopefully) lovable prankster, circa 2004. Definitely created Lord Theodore, who rather resembles a bear I got when I was young - also called Lord Theodore. Funny how these things work out. I've also been a reasonably avid RPer over the years, active in DOTG and Kingdom Tortall. Also, my personal canon gets Jossed every time Pierce gives us more info, so I kind of dread Random Buzz these days. Favourite character/s: Gary, Cythera, Thayet, Maura Favourite pairing/s: Duke G/Roanna, Gary/Cythera, Maura/Alan Least favourite character/pairing: I can pretty much be convinced by anything... I'm going to go with Kel/Jon, because the control issues squick me. The character/pairing you're embarrassed to like: Beka/Rosto. I feel like I shouldn't, but I can't help it. Favourite Goldenlake projects/events/pranks: Hands-down Rosielake. A whole site dedicated to me for the day? Bring it. I also adored Decathlon, though - we had some wonderful fic produced for it, and I was hugely proud of what I came out with. Non-Pierce obsessions: Jane Austen is my big one; I just adore her writing, and a good portion of the adaptations of her novels. I'm also hugely obsessed with rugby for nearly all of the year. I enjoy Doctor Who, and have written for three non-Pierce fandoms: Harry Potter, Downton Abbey, and Sharon Shinn. Other random stuff: Lord Theodore owns you.

Username: greenie Name: Ren Userpic/Avatar: Under/over 18: Over. Birthday: 24th April Location: New Zealand Bio: At university, currently stressing myself out by writing my Masters thesis. My username here is very appropriate, because I'm studying environmental management and I like the outdoors/am a bit of a treehugger (not that I make a habit of actually hugging trees ). I have a very cute, very spoiled dog called Poppy - she's a bichon frise/lhasa apso cross, and she's snuggled up in front of me, hogging my bed, as I write this. ...also, I use smileys a lot. You can also find me: I'm pineappleyness on twitter, tumblr, lj (although I haven't been on it much lately), and AIM. Member since: August 2009 Fanfiction/Fanart/Other: I started off writing nauseatingly fluffy Alanna/George and Daine/Numair. And then I got hooked on PD! I especially love writing Clary/Tom, Clary/Mattes (whether platonic or shippy), young Clary, and Little Goodwin fic. Favourite character/s: Clary, Tom, Mattes, and Sabine. Favourite pairing/s: Clary/Tom, Mattes/Sabine, and Clary/Mattes because as much as I adore the canon pairings, Clary/Mattes on the side is too good to ignore. Least favourite character/pairing: I don't think I have any! Generally, I just dislike the baddies because they're the baddies. I don't have much patience for Tansy, though. The character/pairing you're embarrassed to like: Nothing I can think of! I'm not quite sure whether this means I don't like any peculiar pairings, or if I just have no shame. Favourite Pierce quote: "There's plenty more fish in the sea than Prince Jonathan. And this particular fish loves you with all his crooked heart." - George to Alanna, The Woman who Rides like a Man. It just makes me melt every time. Favourite Goldenlake projects/events/pranks: So many! I know I'm going to leave some out. Hmmm....Peculiar Pairings was my first event here, so that's always going to be special. I always love Talk like a Pirate Day, and I loved when the mods' names got PD-ified as part of the buildup to Mastiff. I had a little squee every time I saw myself as Clary Goodwin. And then, I can't forget Clary/Mattes winning 2011 SMACKDOWN! ;D I think I'm still a little burnt out from that... Non-Pierce obsessions: Castle! I love it. ;D I started watching because I was walking through the mall, and saw a banner advertising it, and I was instantly like 'OMG, they look just like Clary and Mattes!'. So I walked past the banner like an extra 3 times more than I had to, and then looked Castle up when I got home and was instantly hooked. Other random stuff: I have two cacti called Clary and Mattes. I had a Tom too, but he had a big growth spurt (I decided to ignore biology and say he was pregnant with Little ), and then he died. I still need to find another Tom...

Username: Pandora Name: Pan or Panda Userpic/Avatar: Under/over 18: Over 18 Birthday: 29 January Location: The Queen’s Riders Barracks (Brisbane) Bio: I work at the Botanic Gardens doing administrative stuff. I can’t garden for anything, but I like to keep trying all the same. I’m an avid animal lover who adores everything from puppies to the water dragon who hangs out on my windowsill at work. I have two dogs, Pandora and Jackson. I make friends with birds much more easily than people and I’m currently volunteering with the RSPCA in one of their kitten adoption centres. Next year I hope to be accepted to study veterinary nursing. You can also find me: Sitting under a shady tree in the flower gardens with a good book. (I don’t really do the whole social network thing.) Member since: 12 November 2010 Fanfiction/Fanart/Other: I mainly just write fanfiction which can be found on The King’s Own @ fanfiction.fiefgoldenlake.com/viewuser.php?uid=711. I seem to have a tendency to write about the male characters more than female, but I’m working on changing that. Favourite character: Evin! Favourite pairing/s: Evin/Miri and Alan/Liam Least favourite character/pairing: Probably Daine and Aly. The character/pairing you're embarrassed to like: I’m not embarrassed of anyone! I’m a proud Dom/Kel shipper – even though I know it won’t work out and she’ll leave him for Merric in the end… Favourite Pierce quote: I’m giving three quotes! I’m being greedy, I know, but I just couldn’t decide! “He was stupid. If I killed everyone who was stupid, I wouldn't have time to sleep." - Alanna of Trebond, In the Hand of the Goddess. "Threats are the last resort of a man with no vocabulary.” - Neal, Lady Knight“Mama raised me polite.” - Faleron, Page. Favourite Goldenlake projects/events/pranks: Call me crazy but I have to say SMACKDOWN. Non-Pierce obsessions: Matthew Reilly books, Grey’s Anatomy, Castle, Battlestar Galactica, playing League of Legends, animals. Other random stuff: I’m practically a doctor with the amount of Grey’s Anatomy I watch.
