Hello,

My name is Emily and I am from the south. The deep south. Antarctica! (Not really, but as close as you can get without living in Tasmania). Prepare yourself to enjoy some aggressively Australian spelling. I'm from Victoria and after stumbling across Crash Course world history, I became addicted to the short history courses and then followed a rather sweet and scenic road all the way to Vlogbrothers and Nerdfighteria.
I love history, which I think stems mostly from a love of stories, especially ones that make you stop and say holy cow, that really happened on this planet, all those thousands of years ago.
Reasons why I'm a nerd?
I love anything that is well made, imaginative, creative and inspiring. Usually, these things exist in a beautiful, nerdly realm beyond the common way.
I love fantasy, my favourite of all time being His Dark Materials, but I do love me some Harry Potter, LOTR, Neil Gaiman, Diana Wynne Jones and Terry Pratchett. The smarter and more complex, the better. I also loved the Fault in Our Stars, I cried everywhere, all over everything. It wasn't pretty. I'll have to make sure to read more John green books in future.
I'm a massive cartoon fan, my all time favourite being Avatar: The Last Airbender, but I also adore Adventure Time and the Legend of Korra among others. I love Miyazaki and Wes Anderson though I am yet to take the dive when it comes to Doctor Who.
I long to be writer, and quality notwithstanding, coming up with stories is what I do 24/7, much to the annoyance of those who are familiar with my constant trips to 'Emmy Land'. If there is anyone else of a similar mind then I would absolutely love to story talk. :)

DFTBA. Em.
