I tend to string together a few letters that sound good if they're not from this world. I end up with names like 'Daian', 'Valn', 'Erescent' and 'Arancore'. Unfortunately, I tend to overuse the 'a'.
Thanks for the welcomes! I'm 18 next June, if I survive the coming school year ^^.
Hopefully I'll post something in the showcase tomorrow when I get home.
I tend to ask my brother. He reads a lot of the Black Library/Warhammer type books, so he advises me. Other than that, he also gives me tips on weapons and if needs be, acts out the fight scenes with me so I can get an idea of shocks and aches gained through the battle. I also borrow horses...
I mainly use my laptop for writing, especially for storing the pieces I've written. I'm really bad at keeping all my bits of paper together. Unfortunately, since I spend 8-12 hours at school everyday and 6 hours on a Saturday, (stupid French education system), pen and paper seems to be my best...

Hi?
Well, my name's Allyssianne, (just call me Ally, it's easier and doesn't wear out your keyboard). I'm 17, been writing... basically since I could hold a pen, ^^. I'm still learning a lot about writing, but that doesn't really matter to me. Life's about learning! I mainly write...
