About Meeka and her alter ego acflory

Meeka was born on Final Fantasy XI many years ago and had the dubious distinction of being one of the few truly female mithra in the game. Meeka has been resurrected in many mmo’s since then and remains my favourite ‘toon’ [avatar to the rest of you].  But Meeka has always had a dark side – she writes when no-one is looking. The Writer is called acflory and her main claim to fame is that she is opinionated, verbose and hopes to have a sci-fi/fantasy novel published sometime in the near future. As for me, well I’m just the drudge who gets the boring stuff done.

I was recently told to write 7 things about myself. For better or worse here they are :

1. I’m opinionated but I think everyone knows that already :/
2. I’m a pollyanna who always sees the silverlining in every cloud except for hatred, that just makes me mad. [see 3.]
3. I’m fiercely protective of children and animals because they can’t fight back for themselves.
4. I love wild emotional music be it Deep Purple, Puccini’s Turandot or Archangel/Two Steps From Hell, which is what I’m listening to now.
5. I read until my eyes cross over because, well just because there are millions of books and millions of ideas out there and I can’t stand the thought that I may miss some of them
6. I play mmo’s because they give me the freedom to play in the worlds I normally just read about.
7. And I’m a passionate aussie although I’ve only lived in Australia since I was 4. This country is both very old and very young and nothing is impossible.

-thinks- there must be some job out there that I’m suited to… Wait! There is. I can be a writer, or something.

    I am very impressed with your site. I came here because of the wonderful (and truthful) review you wrote for Lord David’s Barsetshire Diary, which is book I love, and I left a comment. I came back to figure out who is Meeka and who is Acflory and I am still not sure who is the writer, who is Meeka, and who is the person who wrote the review! Such fun! Perhaps it’s my fault since I am not a gamer? Or perhaps you really are three or four people? That is entirely possible since I am convinced of having at least three or four myself… and I LOVE your bestiary. So I’ll be back, bringing a blood hound with me to snoop, spy, and detect.

    Thanks Jim! I’ve just bookmarked it. And in case anyone else is reading this – checkout that url from indiesunlimited. The article talks about how to get around the limited categories that Amazon offers.

    hello, ACFlory, aka Meeka-
    Hudson MacHeath here. Thank you again for the kind things you’ve written about my writing. I’ve been trying to figure out a way to just send you the rest of the novel, but all of these various blogs and sites are identity double-blind (for good reasons, of course). So: here is an email address that I use for such things: spamoubliette@comcast.net . If you would like the rest of Pathfinder sent to you in some more ergonomic format than the one available at Bookcountry, just let me know and I will reply with a more reliable email address and some pages for you.

    All the best,
    HMacH (A nom de plume, by the way).

    Hi HMacH :D Email on its way to the oubliette!
    cheers
    Meeks
