| Bio: | If you are after fanfic, you will find it either in ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) rifleman95 (Sharpe fic) or sharpies_pen (for anything else - 'anything' currently being Master&Commander).
My LJ is now Friends-Only. If you want to read it, please comment in the open entry you will find inside. I may not friend you right away if you don't comment, it's nothing personal. If you don't comment and we have nothing in common, then I probably won't friend you back. Again, this isn't personal.
Repeat spammers WILL BE BLOCKED, so don't even think about it. It's not clever and does not show any intelligence whatsoever.
If you think you might want to be friends, the rest of this profile will (hopefully) tell you enough about me before you click that fatal button.
Who am I? I'm 26, at university studying for a joint honours degree in Classical & Archaeological Studies and Religious Studies. I read a lot, and should maybe move into a library just to have enough bookshelves.
I have always been interested in Ancient history, but only became interested in the Napoleonic era because of Sharpe. I now re-enact as a soldier in the 50th Regiment and have learned more history since starting to dress up re-enact than I learned at school. Plus, it's fun! It also serves as a outlet for my obsession with Redcoats...
I'm a fan of Sean Bean's Sharpe series. When I ran out of Sharpe stuff to read/watch, I moved onto Hornblower and the Age of Sail generally. My other interests include reading, writing and listening to music. I find local history (in my case, Kent of 200 years ago) fun too. This is useful for other AoS fans who can't get to see places like Chatham.
I'm an active member of the Master and Commander and Sharpe fandoms. Any fandom stuff I do will be posted in communities for those fandoms, or my fanfic journals, rather than in my personal LJ. Just so you know.
I do post random pictures of re-enactments and local history stuff in my LJ. This is because I have recently discovered the joys of owning a digital camera.
My very first ever fandom was Star Wars, followed by Star Trek: Deep Space Nine when I hit my teens. I'm not as active in these fandoms as in the AoS stuff, although I do occasionally poke my nose in to see what's happening in them.
The wonderful banner inside was made for me by timescout Thank you!!
