I’m the resident zany staff member – there’s always one on every site – and you can usually find me larking about the site at odd hours. As far as canon specialties go, I’m most familiar with Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde, Dorian Gray, Lolita, Sherlock Holmes, and the works of Poe. Basically canons that deal heavily with psychological elements and controversies of a similar nature are of particular interest to me. Feel free to contact me about anything via PM or IM.

Greetings!
I am Nessie, the resident ginger haired bespectacled Scot! You can contact me about anything, though I specialize in Shakespeare, Dickens and Austen. I live in Scotland so I'll usually be on at odd times (for those of you across the pond). Nevertheless, if you have any queries, feel free to get in touch via PM. (:
