It was either looking through things for Elf-Quest, or portraits for my RPG characters, but anyway, I clearly stumbled into the path of this 100% awesome woman who had loads of ideas and was willing to froth crazily about them at me!<\/p>\n<p>I remember contributing to the fanzine a few times, as I do love to write. I was so proud of them being published, and still keep them so I can read. My one about LARP I still give to new players who have no idea what it is! And I am sad to say, I still do have a bag of unwashed seashells. I have had to keep them out of the house due to the cats.<\/p>\n<p>Portrait adoption was and is (when I get back to having time) a huge thing to me, as well as\u00a0<span class=\"il\">EMG<\/span>\u00a0colouring books and pages. Thanks to Ellen I now know how to create my own colouring pages and I sell quite a few digitally and physically. It&#8217;s not a massive earner by any means, but I simply love creating the perfectly odd picture that someone can colour in.<\/p>\n<p>Torn World became a huge jumping point for my writing, and I still have many a\u00a0<span class=\"il\">story<\/span>\u00a0to finish off there. The characters we have created are so unique and lovable (or hate, your choice!), and the world is massive.<\/p>\n<p>Do I consider this woman who I have never met a friend? Yes, yes I do. It can be months before we talk, but when we do it is like no time has passed. I am sad my own personal time is lacking to keep me involved as much as I want to, and I hope to fix this soon. I HEART YOU ELLEN!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>We heart you right back, Lorna!
