That's me.
Sorta.
I am enchanted-mind. No capitals. No spaces. No underscore.
I consider myself a retired banner maker and a writer. Most people know me in the Twilight fandom world as enchanted-mind the bannermaker. In fact, very few people realise that I was a writer many many moons before deciding to marry Photoshop.

I actually wrote a few stories across a variety of fandoms, my largest being the epic story "You Never Know" based on the Twilight fandom.
How I got tangled up in the Twilight world, I'll never know because I'm not exactly the biggest fan of the series. I agree with most critics when they say the saga was poorly written and that some of the characters need a personality injection, stat. I suppose it's more the fundamental concept I once enjoyed.
Since I'm more of graphic artist than a fan girl, you're probably wondering what the heck I do. Simply put, I make digital fanfiction book covers known as banners. The vast majority of the banners I've made belong to Twilight, though there are a few other fandoms in there.
Most people recognise my work by the very first banner request I ever took:

How long have I been this banner geek? About 2 years now, but I took an 8 month break in the middle there to get my head screwed back on.
In the real world, though, I am an absolute photography nut and dabble in digital painting when time between homework permits. I am actually a human being too, and I hate that some people tend to forget that. I study full-time, I have friends, and I go to work. My online identity, although arguably more popular, is my secondary one.
In all seriousness, though, I support depression awareness and research. As a survivor of the mental illness, I openly share that I suffered deeply from depression for many years. It's something we need to know more about and, one day, fully understand.
