Looks like this is my first post on tumblr. Let it be known that I have no idea what I’m doing. I’ve just noticed a lot of PLL stuff goes down on tumblr and figured I’d join in?

Anyway, this is the first chapter of a fanfic I’ve been working on for a few weeks now. I’m up to four chapters posted on ff.net at the moment, but I guess it would be odd to link to a later chapter without first linking to Ch. 1. In any case, if that terrible synopsis up there hasn’t got you interested, I’ll babble a little more about it:

This is a fantasy AU, as mentioned, in a new world of my creation where the Rosewood is a mystical wood at the center of the world. It bequeaths odd abilities on the people who live in and around it - people like Emily, who has been going about her quiet, unassuming life quite happily. One day, she meets Paige McCullers, a girl she hasn’t seen in years, and what happens during that meeting will change her life forever.

It’s a Paily fic, though the Paily-ness is a bit slow-going. The heart of the story is the two of them and their interactions in a world that is out to get them. They have to learn to rely on each other and grow for each other, because if they don’t, they won’t make it out alive.

So, um, yeah. I always write way more than is necessary. My goal with this is really just to reach people. At the risk of sounding silly, I just want to make friends. Of course now my social anxiety is bubbling right near the top of its meter and I had better post this before I break out in a cold sweat.

Too late.

Seriously, am I doing this right? /panic /ridiculous
