Name: Miah
Gender: Female
Nationality: American (Don't call me a Yankee, I'm Southern!)

Fandoms: Sherlock Holmes, NCIS, Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, Monty Python, Anne McCaffrey, Star Trek (except Voyager and Enterprise), Star Wars (Episodes 4,5,6 and some of the extended verse, especially the X-Wing series), LotR, Mark Twain

Hobbies: Writing original and PPC fics, Reading original fiction and fanfics, research, making overly detailed plans that I know are not likely to amount to anything, being overly optimistic, making pictures of characters.

Likes: Goodfic, reviews, chocolate, brownies, iced tea, Chinese food, reviews, chatting, Cajun food, learning new things, documentaries, reading out loud to my kids, cuddling with my husband, reviews, movies based on comic book characters. IC fics of any sort, but I am particularly fond of non-sex hurt/comfort. (Whump: all about torturing the character and then putting them back together again without the sex that is common in standard hurt/comfort.)

Dislikes: Cleaning house, bugs, pollen, mold, heat (basically the outdoors 9-10 months of the year), sudden changes, face-to-face interactions in groups of less than about five, stupid rules, OOCness, canon breakage, cinnamon flavored candies, mornings, glitchy or slow computers and programs.

Other: I am pretty much Miah everywhere I go. Occasionally I am Miah79 (like on the wiki) or Miah.Arthur (like my gmail) or MiahArthur (like my LJ), but Miah is always in there somewhere. I write Agents Miah Arthur and Cali Still in DMS Freelance; RC 4096 (The Lair). I also write Agents (David) Kelok and Unger recently transferred to the All-Purpose Department, Sherlock Holmes Division; RC 1729 (The Fire Pit).

I am working on understanding and writing humor, and improving my use of dialogue. I have a real problem with grammar, like a grammar phobia. It doesn't make sense. It has variable applications. Nothing can be said, "Always do this with this thing". Anyway, I do try, and I always request a beta that can check grammar before I publish a mission or interlude. That doesn't stop me from making errors in Board posts, chats, and emails, though.
