Why haven’t I done this yet? Not sure, really. Just sorta didn’t?
Anyways, hi! I’m Lynn. Or Andy. Or Andian. I get called lots of names. As a writer, my pen name is M. S. Lynn, but I’ve been using the username @therealandian for ages, so most people still call me Andy. I do get some Lynns, though.
I’ve been writing since grade school, but it really started to kick off in about 6th grade when I wrote my first long (for the time) Marvel fanfiction. Yes, I started as a fic writer, but it’s taught me a lot of things. Namely, what people actually want in stories. I still occasionally write fics, but I’ve been working more on original stuff for the past several years.
One of those original works is Threads of Reality, which is a long, convoluted story I started planning 4-5 years ago. The first book in the series, Burning Lies, is about Kaetren Sol, a teenager living in the land of Ātarla, trying very hard to stop the Aëlin-Avocri, a group of people similar to elves, from destroying the capital of an important trading empire. It’s still a WIP, but if you’re interested in fantasy with a hint of sci-fi, you might want to stick around.
I also just recently started writing the first chapter of the second book as well, currently codenamed “SD.” That one is more based in science fiction, and involves lots of aliens, magic, and family bonds.
I post about the series on here a lot, so if you’re a fan of sci-fi, fantasy, the collision of the two, gray heroism, and (not-so-)subtle commentary on life, then you may want to stick around.
A little bit about me: I’m a sophomore in college majoring in French and German Education, although I have an interest in novel editing as well. I enjoy naps, writing, drawing, memes, and mildly confusing storylines. I read more fanfiction than actual published books, I think about life a bit too much, I probably have an undiagnosed anxiety disorder, and I’m asexual. I’m also Christian, which is a bit of a weird combination to some people, but life is strange.
If you’re a sci-fi/fantasy writerblr too, let me know! I’d love to see more about other people’s WIPs, and I always enjoy reading excerpts. It’d be nice to see a few more on my timeline.
