INTRO (the baffled king)
oncenthefuture’s bio

Hello, Internet. This is oncenthefuture, aka kingdomkirkland’s new account. My old one was getting bogged down with some pre-teen angst, so I figured I would start afresh with an entirely new name to complement my new life. At this point in time, it’s June of 2007 and I just turned eighteen a few months ago. I’m about to graduate from a stuffy old sixth form and ready to turn the page on my dusty teenage years and write a new chapter in Oxford. (University, that is.)

People call me several different things, including king, Kirkland, Kirky or kingy, and Eyebrows (long story), but I really prefer it if you call me Arthur. Most people know me from the actor Gil Dresden’s fansite, ‘Albino and Awesome: The Dresden Files’, as the one who knows everything about anything and is basically an unofficial moderator. I’ve been a fan of Gil and, consequently and obviously, a hater of Alfred Jones since I spent my year 10 as a foreign exchange student in Minnesota - a rather bearable year overall except for the overburden of snow and sleet and fucking freezing temperatures. *grumbles* Anyway, in that cold-infested hole in the wall I found the time and the boredom to watch Hearts on a Split Log Fence, and my life hasn’t been the same since. I’ve been a member of Gil’s fansite since late 2005, and have been a dedicated follower of his works since, never afraid to fight it out with an Alfred fan if it was necessary.

So that’s where I am now. Sitting on one side of an epic B-list actor war, fighting in the ranks anonymously while I pursue a degree in British literature at Oxford, wasting my time on trivial matters and enjoying every minute of it.
