About Me

I am an avid reader and writer of queer fantasy and a long-time Tolkien nerd who recently got into the Silmarillion.  Now I seem to be writing an inordinate amount of fanfiction for it, featuring an awful lot of Maglor and Sauron, because I only like trash fires.  Expect lots of explorations of gender and the occasional treatise on entropy or the philosophy of science (I sunlight as a physicist.)

Mertiya (AdmirableMonster) on AO3 and my personal website, admirablemonster on Discord (usually).
