So, after joining around four or so months earlier, I decided to crawl out of the woodwork and introduce myself.
I tend to go by Iapetus on the 'Net, but you can call me Iap or Kim; I answer to all three. I'm 24 years old, a former college student with my B.A. in English and a part-time clerk at my local library.
I've been in love with NIMH since about the third grade, when I saw the movie for the first time (and that was back turing the days of filmstrips; anyone remember those?), and it's in my top ten favorite animated movies. Indeed, I prefer the movie over the book, and I think "Flying Dreams" tops any song from any Disney animated feature.
My first exposure to the NIMH fandom was back in the late 90s when I read Paul Gibbs' "Rats of Thorn Valley" for the first time. I've given some thought to dabbling in NIMH-fic myself, but I seem to get an inferiority complex when I look at my stuff compared to Gibbs, MAL or Simon's works.
