Hi, I'm Rebecca. I'm 2025 years old and originally from Leicestershire (UK)., and I'm currentlynow studyinglive forin Warwickshire, an incredible twenty miles away from the town where I grew up and where my undergraduatefamily degreestill inlive. EnglishI Studieswas a student at the University of Nottingham from 2009 to 2014, and studied there both as an undergraduate and a postgraduate. I hold a BA in English and an MA in Medieval English, and am struggling to turn them into a successful career (or, failing that, any non-soul-crushing paying job would do). For five years I was an active member of my university's Science Fiction & Fantasy Society. and, more recently, its Science Fiction Reading Group, which pretty much sets the pattern for most of my down-time: I love collecting and reading books; (I'm into most genres but my favourites are SF&F, horror, mystery, and classics); and I like tales of superheroes, spooky-as-opposed-to-gory horror, and ambitious sci-fi, either on the big or small screen, but preferably both, one after the other. I am a pescetarian and I love travelling, both in the UK and abroad, and although frequently I find a place I like and keep returning to it, I try to work in something new every now and then as well. And I am a huge ''Sims ''fan, of course. ^_^

I've been playing ''Sims ''since the original game was released in the UK when I was 10 years old. I've played both ''The Sims'' and ''The Sims 2'' with all their expansion packs/stuff packs. To myI'm greata embarrassment mylittle youngerway cousinbehind goton my collection of ''The Sims 3'' beforesince Imy didold andlaptop nowwasn't quite up to spec to run it, but I'm almost caught up now, and hope to do so by the onetime asking''The herSims for4'' gamingis advicereleased next year. ;)  I also playown all three of ''The Sims 2: CastawayStories ''games, onboth ''The Sims Medieval ''games (some of my favourites, for obvious reasons), and a few console spin-offs for PS2 and Wii. I own quite a few other games too but, althoughlet's notbe sohonest, muchwith anya more''Sims because''collection itthat stillhuge livesI'm atonly myvery occasionally going to dip in and out of them. They include a bunch of parents''Tomb houseRaider ''and ''Silent Hill'' games, some ''Marvel Avengers'' and ''DC Superheroes'' adaptations, and quite a bit of stuff centred around either Lego or Sherlock Holmes. The day they make that crossover I may well be in geeky heaven. :P

I chose my username because "''Much Ado About Nothing"'' is my favourite Shakespeare play. Beatrice and Benedick are such an interesting couple, I've never really understood why the ''Sims'' writers chose to make their namesakes siblings in The Sims 2... but maybe that's just me., :pI'm kind of a purist when it comes to my favourite writers.

*[[Same-sex relationshipsrelationship]] - I like to have about 10%-20% of my Sims in same-sex relationships (mirroring the real-life statistics) and I did a lot of work on this page when it was new.
