About

A blog by a girl who is neither bad nor a faery. Drawing, studying arts and humanities with the Open University, ramblings about books, movies and art with a bias towards fantasy, magic realism and speculative fiction. But not many faeries ;)

In February 2007 I embarked on a distance learning degree programme with the Open University. If all goes to plan (i.e. I don't get distracted by something shiny) I will have completed a BA (Hons) in English Language and Literature by June 2011.

Lets get this out of the way up front - No you can't have copies of my TMAs. Distribution of TMAs is against university regulations so please don't ask.
