I am a huge dork about all things historical, mythological and mixtures of the two. I am also a huge fan of girls in those situations that can kick ass. I was at the store to buy the director's cut of King Arthur and stopped to browse one of the aisles of other movies. The title Princess of Thieves jumped out at me, and upon reading the back of the DVD, I had to buy it. I loved it. I mean, this was a movie about Robin Hood's daughter! Obviously, I must own it! Yes, it was cheesy as hell, but it was a movie that quickly was added to my list of "cheers me up" movies.

A year or so later, I wanted to app a second character to FH, but I didn't know which of my numerous fandoms to app from. I wanted a character that was so completely different than Phoebe. I considered apping Guinevere or Elizabeth, and then in my historical-type movies section of my DVDs I saw Princess of Thieves. (Yes, my DVDs are arranged by genre. Aren't everyones?)

I decided that it could be incredibly entertaining to play a character like Gwynn in Fandom and so I worked on the app and submitted it. I've been happy about it ever since.

Of course, every time I watch the movie, I have to pause it to laugh hysterically over the fact that Prince Phillip grew up to be Bill Compton. My fandoms, they collided.
