Elizabeth, Trickster PriestessElizabeth, Trickster PriestessSlayers was one of my first fandoms, and Elizabeth (also known as Za Metallium) was one of the first fanfiction writers I fangirled over. She wrote mostly Slayers one-shots in shades of Lina/Xellos and Lina/Zelgadis.
Sadly, it seems that she passed away some time ago. (Thanks so much for telling me, L!) I was fairly young at the time and never knew her personally, but she seemed very unhappy towards the end. I‘m glad that she‘s found peace now, at least.
I used to be able to access her site, metallium.org, via the Wayback Machine, but now it‘s blocked. =_= Her stories are still available here and there, of course – Darkness Rising has almost everything, her old site is still up on Tripod, she has a fanfiction.net account, and select stories are scattered here and there, but no one has all of it. That‘s why I‘ve decided to archive her work here, without permission. I don‘t really think she‘d mind. So long, Elizabeth. I miss you still. ;_;
