Mandie Malice

I am an enigma wrapped in a tasty candy shell. My bite is indeed worse than my bark, and I have a deep adoration for Chuck Taylor Converse All-Star shoes and circles upon circles of black eyeliner. Just your typical misanthropic kid from the midwest.

Except I'm the kinda misanthrope who doesn't slit her wrists in effigy of being misunderstood.

No, no.

I'm the kinda misanthrope who somehow gets you to believe that slitting your wrists is the better idea.

I like to think of it as Darwinism in action.
Just culling the herd an' all.
I'm very hands-on like that. :D

Beyond that, I am the child of two very talented mothers (one biological, the other just claims me) on this site.

I know I write wordy (this makes my beat-poet mother wince slightly) but I'm okay with that.

Clunky I'm not okay with.

Whenever possible, help me with that. :)

I may be "just a baby" in the game of life, but I know a lot about myself and how I write. Don't worry about me, I got a skin thicker than most people have boot soles. I can take it. Just don't be a jerk-off. I don't care how many books you've [self]published, there's no need to be cocky. Criticism should be constructive. Not cruel.

Don't get brave just because it's the internet. I will take it to the mattresses. I got a pillow, and I'm not afraid to duke it out. :P

My stuff is dark, because I'm dark. I'm okay with that too.

Fluffy bunnies just isn't my style. If it's yours, have at it. :) I'm all about the yin and yang.
