Since I just created a board for introductions, after five years of the forum being open, I figured I'd jump on board and create the first thread.
Hi. I'm Amy, and I'm the creator of this place! I'm a 25-year-old fangirl from England, and my first Marianne book was Nylon Angel in 2004 - which I freely admit I bought because it had a pretty cover and a cool first page. I hadn't read any dystopian post-cyberpunk fiction before, and I haven't read much since, but I fell in love with Parrish and her world.
My favourite MDP book is still NA, and my favourite character of Marianne's is Ibis. Because he's fantastic. Merry 3# from the Parrish series and Insignia from the Sentients of Orion series vie for a close second, though.
Other things I love: writing fanfic (NCIS and Tomb Raider mostly!), fangirling over NCIS, playing videogames and reading in general. ^_^
Parrish's Patch started as a LiveJournal community, which I experimentally created to see if there were any other MDP fans online that I could squee with. There were a couple - Mouse, CJ and pinkegogirl - and we made our little nest there.
Then Marianne found us when she Googled herself, and commented on a post, and I just about died of fangirly squee. ;D
A few months later, I created this place, and we jumped over here. And here we've been ever since! It's a quiet forum, but everyone who's stuck around to post has been awesome.
I'm most famous for disappearing for months at a time because I'm moving house (which I do a lot) and have no internet connection, and then coming back and apologising for it. But I've had the backup of my awesome mods, Sheyana and innatemalk, and Marianne, of course.
Feel free to comment here or PM me if there's anything you need!
