Laure Dauban has changed jobs too many times after studying translation. She’s worked in publishing, in video games, briefly in fashion, press and technical support. It was not enough variety so at the moment she’s studying again to become a web developer in France.
Laure can’t even remember when exactly she discovered fanfictions, but her AO3 account says she’s been there since 2013. She reads in any fandom with enough fluff, angst and romance, preferably all at once.
She joined the OTW as a French translator in May 2019, and was roped in to become a volunteer manager for the Translation committee 6 months later. This encouraged her to engage more with the other committees, but also to start writing her own fics at last.
