    I am married, have a beautiful baby daughter, 2 cats and am an English teacher by trade. I am also an artist, specialising in fantasy characters. I'm also 190,000 words into a hobbyist novel... shame it's based on the computer game Neverwinter Nights!

    It's a bit wretch-worthy, but it works - same as TCP for a sore throat. Vile, stinky stuff but it gets rid, fast! Wine, on the other hand.....mmmmmm!

    Hopes the heartburn goes away soon, you have my sympathy. I often have the same problem when ingesting to much ichor at the Temple ;-)

    Ooooh yuck yuck. I might have some of that on the way, I'm being very deviant tonight and having a little bit of wine. We got it as a housewarming present, and it is my favourite, so it'd be rude not to! You got any bi-carb of soda?

    Mad, lunatics, crazies, one bristle short of the full brush, off one's trolley, deluded, delusional, nuts, deranged, cuckoo, fruitloop, mental. I feel right at home :)

About

Mistress Elysia is a dual-purpose entity; one half is vaguely literate and artistic, the other, a drooling, giggling fangirl with a penchant for big, manly warrior types being big, manly and warrior-ly (what? It's a word...).

When she is not getting caught up in ridiculously long plotlines and beating her muse with various items of cutlery for trying to turn everything she writes into smutty filth / reminding her after she's published a new chapter of the glaring plotholes she oh-so intended to address / for failing to realise that 'S' is quite close to 'D' on the keyboard, thus making it look like she can't sort her tenses out, she likes to draw inappropriate pictures of various characters (usually wearing completely unfeasably skimpy armour. She can't help it. It's habit now.), roleplay and generally procrastinate until she realises that, oh crap, she is supposed to be an English teacher and therefore should get some marking done.

She is also responsible for the Fade NPC mod for Baldur's Gate: SoA. One day, when she isn't sick of the sight of dialogue blocks, feisty redheaded fey'ri rogues or ex-gods called Bhaal, she might even finish it...

    Get that bi-carb to work, I never forgot the sheer agony of heartburn. Frickin' brutal.

    And thanks to Seanín and Fabrizio! I posted the same time you guys did - more words the better (especially since I think this character is going to be giving the other character that look quite a lot in the future...)
