I am Stefanie. Feel free to call me Stef!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-dm-sans-font-family has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Writing is my passion. More than ten years ago now, I discovered fanfiction for myself and have been improving my skills ever since.<br>I have a bachelor&#8217;s degree in Applied Cultural science as well as a master&#8217;s degree in Visual Culture now work in the heart of London, where I&#8217;ve been living since April 2021, as a professional translator, writer and voice actress. \ud83c\uddec\ud83c\udde7<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-dm-sans-font-family has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">I was born in 1997 in a small town in Carinthia which is in the south of Austria. If that sounds like it&#8217;s in the middle of nowhere&#8230; it pretty much is but it had its perks, like writing high up on a tree where no one could disturb your flow. \ud83c\udf33<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-dm-sans-font-family has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Oh and if you&#8217;re wondering where my pseudonym comes from, let me explain it to you: The S, not so surprisingly, stands for Stefanie. When I was thirteen, I tried to find a cool and sophisticated sounding username for my old German fanfiction profile (which still exists, believe it or not). What I came up with was &#8220;Serpente&#8221; which is the Italian word for snake. So there you go. I have been using it as my pseudonym ever since. \ud83d\udc0d By the way! Whenever I refer to my author name in spoken language, I keep the <em>e <\/em>silent, so whenever you read my name anywhere, feel free to call me S. Serpent!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-dm-sans-font-family has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">If I&#8217;m not writing or reading and constantly running out of space for my books, I travel as much as I can, learn new languages and lose my mind at rock concerts and on a Friday night, you&#8217;ll likely find me in a theatre, the cinema or relaxing at home with a good book and a nice cuppa (or a glass of wine&#8230; I&#8217;m a real clich\u00e9 when it comes to that). \ud83d\udcda You&#8217;ll also notice very quickly that I&#8217;m super geeky (I cosplay, play video games, and will wait hours in queues to meet my favourite actors!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-dm-sans-font-family has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">What else&#8230; I also spend a significant amount of time daydreaming about ficitional characters and I have a serious weakness for misunderstood villains. Loki is basically my husband. \ud83d\ude1c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-dm-sans-font-family has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-dm-sans-font-family has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heyho there!
