Profile

I am Emma, though I tend to use the name Silver online. I am a long time fantasy writer and devoted gamer. My very close friends have described me as 'slightly obsessive', 'completely insane', a 'daydreamer', complete with a 'twisted sense of humour'. You have been warned! I do tend to live in my own world a lot of the time. I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome 6 years ago at the age of 25, and I do display quite a lot of the typical traits: I can be a bit too honest, really struggle to make and keep friendships, am easily overwhelmed in social situations, don't really liked being touched. I do say what I think; I don't mean to be hurtful but sometimes I can be a little blunt. I try to watch and learn though.

I like to think that I am open-minded and non-judgemental, usually a tolerant person, and very hard to shock. I can't promise to necessarily understand your views, but I will respect them as long as you respect mine in return.

Currently no kids. Two dogs - a nine year old German Shepherd, Cory and Poppy, a seven year old Yorkshire Terrier. Cory has a lot of behaviour issues and we have been working hard to overcome them, but he is basically my whole world. Poppy is my rescue dog and a pain in the backside, but I do love her too.

I consider myself polyamorous and have a relationship with two different men; John and Dave.

Main hobbies include: dog obedience training and dog agility, writing, cooking, studying, photography.

I am a survivor of rape and abuse. I suffer from depression, post traumatic stress disorder, and anxiety disorder. I get unpredictable mood swings, nightmares, irrational fear and panic attacks. I’m very wary of people, in particular groups of teenagers and men. Some of my entries can be a little dark.

I write most things - short stories, the odd bit of poetry, and I am currently working on a novel. I write fanfiction on occasion, though less than I used to - my main fandoms are Baldur's Gate and the Dragon Age series. Sometimes I post my short stories and poetry here. Constructive criticism on my writing is always appreciated.
