Mommanerd is a fanfiction writer active in the Buffyverse fandom during the 2000s and 2010s.

I am from the Midwest – Illinois, specifically. Even though I live in a rural area, I grew up in a large city in Upstate New York, so I can’t really claim to be a hick. I’m a 40ish farmer’s wife and the mother of two school children, and I enjoy writing about my family stuff as much as I enjoy writing stories about the Buffyverse. Right now my hobbies are trying to keep up with my family and dinking around on my computer, but I also enjoy counted cross stitch, singing, acting in plays, teaching, and cooking. Those are things I think I’m good at. The things I’m not so gifted in would include housework and anything that requires a creative eye, such as decorating, photography, flower arranging – you name it. I’m hopeless. Writing stories is my only creative outlet.
