ThatLONERchick

Daria  fanfiction author of "The Cell." Posts under the name Alpacca Jo on fanfiction.net. Enjoys long walks, razor burn, sleeping the world away, and being mistaken for an emo cross dresser. Well, not so much that last one. Or the second one, either. But the rest is true. Yeah.

thatLONERchick is a master of short, angst-packed tales with ambiguous or unresolved endings, sharing characteristics with vignettes. Her characters are sharply drawn, often in intense physical or emotional pain, and memorable.

Mini-Bio

thatLONERchick was born in Queens, New York and grew up in the Bronx and Brooklyn over the course of seventeen years and several moves. She began writing at the age of seven and though never developed anything approaching skill until her late teens, enjoyed every word and every line.

Twice during her Junior High career was she featured in her school news paper, once for a short story in the Halloween edition and again in the art section. She has not been formally published since.

thatLONERchick entered Daria fandom late, though she has been a fan of the show since its first airing in 1997, when she was eleven years old. Her first fanwork was Winter Hearts, then a stand-alone tale of inner termoil. It was published on Fan Fiction dot net in September 2007 under the name Alpacca Joe. Her first Paper Pusher's Message Board post was in response to an Iron Chef: Daria's Sorrow; the pre-canon tale entitled Now and Then was her second fan effort.

Her most recent contributions from a variety of genres include Interdimensional Dust Up on Twelfth of May, Tears of the Cynic, and the conclusion of The Misery Chick chapter two: Wishes.
