Hi, everyone! I'm Emy. I've got a PhD in Creative Writing, and am currently working out what to do next. I enjoy writing to explore themes and societal issues, and worldbuilding is an extension of that. I am also working on my art to be able to draw my characters and the world I am building. I'm sure that I'll start building more worlds now that I'm here. I have two cats, five guinea pigs, and numerous fish, shrimp, and aquatic snails. Looking forward to getting to know people and their worlds! :)
