About the author
V. Arrow
8 books64 followersV. Arrow (@aimmyarrowshigh) is not quite a certified Fandom Old, but she does remember VHS exchanges and GeoCities fansites. She has been writing fanfiction her whole life, and has been posting it online since 1998. As a result, she eventually obtained a Master’s of Fine Arts in Writing for Children & Young Adults and has mostly used it to better compose fandom meta. She currently co-hosts the fannish podcast "This Week In Fandom History."
In her fandoms, V likes woman-focused narratives and analytical lenses, weird and thoughtful linguistic choices, rich worldbuilding, when the good guys (and especially gals) win, women written as full people with dignity and respect, men who adore the women in their lives, and devoted relationships after sad characters get the therapy they need.
