Amateur author and period drama fan. Writes fanfiction for Downton Abbey and The Hour under the pen name Silvestria and currently working on original projects as well.

You can now read University Challenge in Russian, Chinese and Spanish! I make no guarantee for the quality of the translations but they have been done with my permission. If you are reading in translation or wish to translate any of my stories into another language then please get in touch!

Currently watching Mr Selfridge, Dancing on the Edge, Doctor Who, Game of Thrones, and Death in Paradise. Snarking over Downton Abbey is a constant.

Rose Explains Titles: Explantion of aristocratic titles.

Rose Reads: Reading outloud. (Also see the tag "Rose reads".)

Mary Crawley's Tumblr (University Challenge verse)

Downton Abbey meets musical theatre

Will answer questions about Britain (Britpicking), aristocratic titles, Latin & Ancient Greek in exchange for biscuits. Also always more than happy to give opinions on characters, plot development and so on or to respond to queries about own writing.

I have nothing against Caesar, but who else was hoping it was Finnick? I’d love a shot of him like this! (I swear if the next one is President Snow or Haymitch, as much as I love him, I’m going to scream!) PLEASE! Let it be Cinna or Finnick next!!!
